Julia turning 1

Julia turned 1 this past week and just started walking too! (exactly on the 15th!!).  Her personalitly has really started coming out and she is such a sweet little girl with some spunk! haha She just adores her big brother and wants to follow him around and play with whatever he is playing with (even though he doesn't always want her to).  Her favourite stuff animal is her stuffed bunny which she cuddles at night.  Its so sweet.  She has been eating a lot of solid food these days, not so much baby food.  Her favourites are cottage cheese, peaches, blueberries, strawberries, toast with almost anything on it like peanut butter, hummus or cream cheese... she will definitely try most things but if she doesnt like it will hand it back to you.  Thats my issue with milk right now, she just doesn't like it.  I'm thinking the less I BF the more she will take a liking to it?.. maybe.... I will be seeing her doctor next week so I will have all her stats then.  I will try to post a video of her walking too.

Professional pictures done for Julia turning 1 :)

Lionel's pony farm

This past friday I ventured to Lionel's by myself with Matteo and Julia.  It actually went really well and think we might go back soon. Matteo always has so much fun feeding all the animals there.

Enjoying the rain one friday afternoon in early august lol

Julia's First 'swim' and other misc July pictures

I finally took Julia for her 1st swim at the beginning of July.  She surprised me and actually liked it.  Matteo on the other hand was scared of the water.  He would only go on if he held on to me..TIGHTLY.  When he turns 3 I will be signing him up for swim lessons so he can get use to the water more.  

These are some cute sibling pictures:

Matteo had to sit on my mom's lap because Emily was.  He is obsessed with Emily.
