What a fun weekend. Aunt Sue (or "Soup" as Julia calls her) came to visit from New Jersey, and as a bonus, we got a surprise visit from Aunt Lisa who drove over from Naples.
We went to the Brevard Zoo on Sunday, a cute place, but I'm not sure Julia was all that into it, and the giraffes stayed in hiding all day, so that was no fun...
But it was so nice to have all the Cherry family in one place. It was the first time Julia has ever been with both her aunties at the same time. Makes me sad we all don't live closer.
Want to move to Florida, Soup? heehhhe We wear silly straw hats here...
Also last week, our sweet girl turned 18 months old. It's so hard for me to fathom that she's smack dab in the middle of toddlerhood. I'm clinging to the little bit of baby she has left -- she still has these delicious chubby little fingers and such a baby face, she babbles in her own little language when she's mad or when she's reading her books. She still likes her milk in a bottle (yeah, yeah, I know. But it's only twice a day -- before nap and bed.) And she still sleeps with her butt up in the air....
But she's also becoming quite a "big girl" learning to feed herself with a spoon, saying a billion words -- quite the vocabulary, this kid. She blesses us when we sneeze. She wants to brush her own teeth, comb her hair and she's already had her first scraped-up knee. She can even sing a few bars of the Sesame Street theme song --- Sunny days.... chasing the clouds away...
Ahhh. My heart just breaks. Can't she stay little forever?
This is her on her 18-month birthday and the other two are some of her favorite activities -- sorting through recipes and playing with pots and pans. Could we have a future Rachael Ray?
