A year ago today our family was blessed with the most beautiful 5 pound 5 ounce little girl ever put on this earth. She was the perfect addition to our family.
The time certainly goes by quickly. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing Julian home from the hospital and putting her in her crib for the very first time. Little did we know that in her first year of life she would only sleep one full night in that crib. She has no desire to be in her own bed and apparently me and Sarah are pushovers because we just continue to let her sleep in ours. Oh we try to put her in her own bed. But that normally doesn't last more than an hour. It can be frustrating at times but Sarah reminds me that she's only this little once and one day I'll miss that.
Julian's walking all over the place and has been for months now. She has developed quite the attitude...no clue where she gets that from. She's saying momma all the time and mommy on occasion. She calls Jaylee Jay Jay and says all kinds of gibberish that I wish we could understand. She copies just about every movement we make and she loves to dance. She has the biggest personality already and she's only one.
Julian's not the only one growing up too fast. Jaylee has become quite the little grown up these days. She started 6th grade this year and is becoming a little woman. Sarah and I had hoped this would be the year that Jaylee really started showing some responsibility and we got our wish. Jaylee is such a good kid. She sets her alarm every morning and is ready to walk out the door each day before I am. She comes home from school every day and immediately does her homework. She packs her own lunch and lays out her own clothes each night before bed. She's in dance...taking 5 different styles and loving all of them. She's the best big sister ever! She loves Julian so much and is a huge help with her. We really have been blessed with two amazing daughters.
I have so much to be grateful for. I thank God every day for the life that He has blessed me with.
