Our Little Caterpillar is One!

Julia turned one on January 7!
She is 22 lbs. 9 oz and 30.5 inches tall.  

We celebrated on January 12 with Grandparents at our house (it was a bummer that Garrett, Cilla and the boys had car trouble and Paul and Brieann live across the country!).  We had a great time with our "Hungry Little Caterpillar!"

 

When Julia woke up on Saturday morning she got to play with her new kitchen from Mommy and Daddy! 

What are you looking for Julia?   She loves opening on all the doors and playing with all the kitchen pieces.

 

Jeff and I made a giant ruler to keep track of Julia's height as she gets older!

 

She wore her Hungry Little Caterpillar outfit for her party.  It is the cutest little tutu.

 

Julia likes her Cabbage Patch doll's bottle, too!

 

Wow, this little girl has lots of gifts to open.

 

Check out Julia's shirt!

 

Julia likes to crawl up the stairs when ever she gets the chance!

 

She had fun with her gifts!

 

She clapped when she saw this one!

 

Oh, what fun! 

 

I had fun decorating with the theme!  Here is the balloon Hungry Caterpillar.

 

After the Hungry Caterpillar eats it's way through everything in a week she turns in to a beautiful butterfly in the Eric Carle book. 

 

The food...

 

Some of the things the Hungry Caterpillar eats!

 

The cake... the head was just for Julia!

 

We can't believe she is ONE!  Where did the time go!  We just love our little peanut so much.  She gives hugs and kisses now, too.

Digging into the eyes first as she tries to figure out what it is!

 

Getting a little messy! Perfect!

 

Lick those lips, Julia!

 

Do you want some, Grandpa?

 

A few crumbs made it to her lap... Gus was trying to help clean up the crumbs.

 

Beep, Beep!  Julia driving her new car!
