Around our House

We play with pipe cleaners

We color with chalk

We hang out

We go on date nights. (we love our new date night group)

We dress up like princesses

We celebrate Valentines day with these delicious things! My husband rocks!

We go to church and look cute.

And we watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse when we don't feel good.

2013 is off to a good start!

Sister Love

Poor little Juliet. She is a little sister... I think her face conveys how she feels about this.

Abby will do anything to get to her little sister. If she squawks Abby is right there to hug her and give her kisses. "Oh Jules" is one of her favorite things to say. She will bring me Jules' binky if she sees it somewhere.

Abby decided to photo bomb Juliet's 2 month pictures.

Can I sit here?

Ok. Thank you.

Sometimes Jules isn't very compliant with what Abby wants her to do. So Abby just forces her to do it anyway. 

Sister talk.

Abby is really good at sharing with her. Toys, snacks, drinks. I hope that she continues to be so willing to share with her sister.

Abby loves, loves, loves to hold Jules. She would do it all the time if I would let her.

I am beyond grateful for the love I've seen Abby give her little sister. If Abby will give Jules her distance when she is trying to play with her Jules will smile at her. Melts my heart and about makes me cry every time. I was so nervous for how Abby would react to this new little person stealing my attention away. But it was a wonderful transition for Abby. I feel like there is just more love and happiness in our home now. For now. I wonder how their relationship will progress over the years. I hope that they are close, that they will stick up for each other and that they will love to play together.

I sure love them with all my heart!

2 months!

Dear Juliet,

I seriously can't believe that you are already 2 months old. I feel like it has flown by! You are an angel baby and I can't get over your sweet, calm little spirit. You hardly ever cry, usually only at night right before bed. You have started smiling and it is the sweetest thing in the world. You are so chill and relaxed all the time. You take really good naps during the day and you are sleeping really well at night. You go to bed around 9:00 and have been sleeping until 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. Seriously awesome. You are very patient with how much love your big sister gives you. She just adores you and thinks you are the coolest thing that has ever happened to our family since Toy Story. Its amazing how it feels like you have always been here, and I can't imagine how we ever survived without you. 

At 2 months you already weigh 10.6lbs. Abby didn't reach that weight until she was over 3 months old. Crazy!

 Your sweet smile.

This is one of my favorite faces you make. I make this face at your dad all the time and it cracks him up. He can't do it and he about died laughing the first time he saw you make this face. Like mother like daughter!

Those eyes are playing tricks on me, I can't tell if they will be blue or brown!

Your dark hair is so cute, and there is so much more of it than Abby had until she was a year and a half!

We love you Jules! Thank you for coming to our home and bringing us so much joy!
