Little Bunny Foo Foo

Yesterday was an exciting day for Julianna....she got to meet the Easter bunny!! She was such a little ham and just kept smiling, giggling & waving the whole time, it was so adorable! Success!!!  I pretty confident Jules was going to do well with this meeting because whenever we went to the mall, I made sure to make a pit stop by the big bunny so she could have a look and when we would get close she would get really excited and start blowing kisses! Super adorable! Of course you never know what is going to happen until you get up close and personal {I'm still trying to get a good picture of her and Mickey together!}  so when it was time for her turn and as we were getting closer I was preparing for a possible freak out but nope! Julianna didn't even think twice about it! Such an improvement from the screaming baby pose last year!

14 Months & A Fearless Girl!





WOWZA!!  I have a 14 month old baby toddler! I have a feeling this next year is going to fly by even faster than last year{I didn't think that was even possible!}. It has been a few months since I have done her monthly updates. I think i stopped at 10 or 11 months? Horrible, I know and I still have to put up her 11 & 12 month pictures!  Let's recap the last few months, shall we?


New with Jules:
  • Weight/length- 20 lbs and 28 inches 
  • Diapers-was still in size 3 until a couple weeks ago but when she started leaking through them at night we moved her up to size 4.
  • Clothes- still holding steady between 9-12 months! Sometimes things are still too big at 12 months and it seems like she swims in it!!
  • Walker!!!! She really got the hang of walking right after her birthday. I mean really, it was like overnight. She went from me holding her hands to help her stay steady to- Psshhh puleeze mom, don't hold my hand I got this!! Such a feisty one!
  • Toothless up until the last couple days! She has 4 teeth that are just about halfway out and I just noticed 2 more this morning getting ready to join the party. I just wish they would hurry up and stop torturing her already!!
  • Hellooo tantrums! Yes, my little angel now likes to throw a fit when things are not done to her liking. I try not to laugh while she is having a "moment" but I just can't help it sometimes!
  • Poop Problems-Jules had em... I know, I know it seems like this is all moms talk about sometimes; Are they pooping enough? Are they pooping too much? What about consistency? Yeah, definitely great dinner table coversation! Let's just say it was NOT fun for any of us but especially not for my sweet girl. It was kind of like being on a Poop-coaster, one extreme to the next. All has been well the last couple weeks and I pray it stays that way!
  • Discovered her mischievous explorer side.
  • Big talker with us but gets a bit shy when she is around others. She is learning animal sounds, her most favorite is of course-Woof woof! When the dogs bark so does she!  
  • Hugs & Kisses- this is one of my favorites, she will now just come up and give hugs and kisses freely. I LOVE it!


I'm sure I am forgetting something but Julianna is doing sooo much these days it can be hard to keep up!  Oh, I just remembered one more thing, she can also follow directions pretty well except when I am telling her not to do something!!

 & now some pictures....


I can't believe she knows how to do this!! No fear!!!








Also, I have some exciting news...I will be telling you all about that very soon! :)

A Festive Treat!



Last night I decided I would try my hand at making cake balls! I wanted to add some cute shamrock sprinkles but I didn't have any & didn't feel like making a special trip to the store so I had to improvise with what I had. The Hubby took some with him to work and they were a hit! 

If you are looking for some inspiration head on over to Bakerella. She is amazing!!! It looks like I have another hobby to add to my list!

Happy St. Patricks Day!!

What do you think?

I happened to stumble upon this clever  invention during my weekly Target trip and I was intrigued. I have seen/heard of other brands having similar products and I wanted to try them but they always seemed too expensive, but when I saw these  

I was super excited because they are only $9.99! So I of course had to buy a few different designs to try!


Here is my result 



My verdict: Easy to apply, affordable & unique designs. This will probably be my 'new' thing. Definitely worth the $$. Go ahead and give it a try! :)

Has anyone else tried these? Do you like them?
