Julia Ann-11 months!

For Julia's 10 month birthday I commented in the blog post that I was slacking because the only pictures that I had of her from that day were either in a diaper or in pajamas.  I am sad to say that it got worse!  I totally forgot to take a picture of her on her 11 month birthday!! In my defense, it was my birthday (so selfish, I know!), we had Brian and Hollie's engagement party and were busy all day with family.  Thankfully, Aunt Laura came to the rescue and had a picture of Julia, Syd and Ella but I was able to crop the other girls out so we can officially have an 11 month picture!  Julia, I promise to get a real picture of you next month!
Julia's 11 month has been a busy one for her!  She took her first plane ride this month (along with two more plane rides!)  She did awesome on each flight and even had other passengers comment as to how well she did! She makes us all smile and laugh constantly and brings such a joy to our lives.  She is pointing at everything, waving at everything and everyone and gives great hugs and open mouthed kisses!  She has started nodding yes this month and will do "All done" in sign language.  She continues to eat like a linebacker but is not a fan of formula.  I am starting to think about weaning her so bought some formula but she will only drink it if she is really really hungry or really really tired.  I am still nursing her 3 times a day, sometimes 4 if she wakes up during the night which she has been doing since we have been staying with my parents, and this is the longest that I have nursed any of the kids for-I'm not totally ready to be done but wouldn't mind cutting back to 1-2 times per day...we shall see.  She is getting SO close to walking and I'm confident that she'll be walking before she turns 1.  I love watching her follow Joseph and Ella around and many times now I will catch the three of them playing together in one of my parent's rooms and just giggling.  Honestly, she is just such a happy baby and I can't believe that she is almost 1!  We love you sweet Julia Ann.
