Remember when...

We were taking a trip down memory lane on the couch this morning and I couldn't even remember your first words, Julia! Sorry. All I can remember is you yelling for me from your crib, just like you do today when you want some company or conversation in the bathroom.

So I had to look through some pictures from four years ago to take me back in time...to help me remember. 

This one is at 5 months when I caught you in the act of rolling over. You hated tummy time! 

Not too many days would you lay and play in your bed happily.

For the most part you adored your brother and he was pretty good with you.  He never showed any jealousy and seemed to be ok sharing his mom. 

You weren't a big fan of anyone other than me and grandma when she was around. Your sleep patterns weren't awful but they didn't allow me to ever feel rested...well that is until I snuck you in our bed when you showed signs of being an early riser. 

I loved your blue eyes. I still love your eyes because you can show so much emotion with them. I can't believe this picture was from just last year...man how you have grown! Your short haircut doesn't help and you "Mary" like expressions just has me baffled! 

Your Mary shoes were it last summer and now it's anything you can find and happen to slip on so you can hop in your bike and run to the neighbors!
