Our spunky and sweet little firecracker-
Oh how you make us laugh! You give the best open mouth kisses, the biggest hugs and still keep us wondering with that "look" of yours. :) Once you started walking, you haven't stopped. We always talk about how you are the first girl in our family who has refused to sit down and play with toys. You are always on the go. You wake up in the morning and bring us your shoes. If we bring home groceries, you unload every bag and then carry the items around the house. You walk laps through the living room and kitchen. You like to find bags, fill them and carry them around with you. Of course, I can't forget the fact that you love to dump out the tampon drawer every time you are in the bathroom, leaving a big trail for us to clean up daily.
You love to dance and have made it especially difficult for us to sit and watch your sisters dance classes because you spend the whole time trying to bust out of the waiting room to join the class. AND if a Trolls song comes on...forget it. You break it down right where you are! Like at Preschool Dance Night when your song came on, there was no stopping you! Go Girl!
Favorite songs include: the entire Troll soundtrack, Better When I'm Dancing by Meghan Trainor, the Kidz Bop version of PriceTag, Ready or Not by Britt Nichole and Gold by Britt Nichole
You stayed awake and danced through your sisters' entire dance recital. It's almost your turn!
Your laugh is the best!

In the last few months, you started saying a few more words. You say Mama, Dada, Abby (baba), Ella and Ollie. You've mastered NO with a trademark Juliet head shake that everyone knows. Mainly because it's your answer for everything and for everyone who wants to come remotely close to you. If it's isn't Mommy, Daddy or your sisters, you have no interest in being touched or held by anyone else. After a field trip to the farm with Ella's class, you started "baa-ing" like a sheep. Then, Abby taught you to make the horse sound with your lips (so cute!) and that a cow says moo. Just yesterday, you learned the word cracker!
You like reading books. Your favorite TV shows/characters are Elmo (Sesame Street) and Daniel Tiger. You've even started bringing us the remote and pointing it at the TV when you want to watch something.
I think you are our pickiest baby by far when it comes to food. You have decided which foods you like and which foods you have absolutely no interest in. The only vegetables we have successfully gotten you to eat and enjoy are tomatoes and sweet potatoes.Every now and then you surprise us. So, it was a huge victory when I made a green shake full of veggies last month and you kept asking for more. You love fruits, especially bananas and berries, and could eat yogurt for days. Other favorites include peanut butter or creamcheese toast, ham, turkey, pasta and mac and cheese.
Whether it is crayons and coloring books or my pen and notebook, you love to color and scribble!
Our time outside together has been extra fun as you've started exploring every thing on foot. You love your slide, little house and car. As for the swing, you want nothing to do with that motion and won't even let us put you in it this summer. You love going on long walks in the stroller and even strolling around the neighborhood by foot.
Juliet enjoyed her very first solo date going out to eat with her daddy.

You loves your shoes. Not long after you wake up every morning, you bring us a pair of shoes and let us know you are ready to head out on an adventure. And new shoes....she's not even two and her eyes light up at the sight! She will sit right down and hand you her foot.

We love you so much, Julie B! You make our family complete. I love being your mommy!
