DOUBLE DIGITS - I'm 10 weeks

Happy Halloween Everyone! I was looking at my mommy without any make-up, that's why I look so scared ;) I have a few Halloween outfits I will wear all weekend to celebrate!

Here I am with my Aunt Morgie, Zoe, and Finn. We were all visiting together and it made me so happy I smiled for the camera.

This past weekend I was so LUCKY b/c I got to spend the whole weekend with my Grandma Barb, we had so much fun together and I was so sad when she left but will be excited to go up to Pittsburgh soon to visit!

My Grandma Barb even gave me a bath which is one of my favorite things and then took this great picture of me after! Don't I look SOOOO cute????

My Mommy and Daddy were in a wedding last weekend and here is a picture from the event. They MISSED me sooooo much and rushed home Sunday to see me!

2 months old!

Little Juliet turned 2 months old yesterday and was greeted by a cold :( She had a runny nose and was congested but did not act sick at all, she smiled the day away and is feeling much better after having the dehumidifier run all night! It was so hard to see my baby sick even if she was a good sport about the whole thing but I guess this is the first of many times my heart will break for my baby :( John had a cold Friday night and passed it to me which I then passed to Juliet so the whole family was sick but we are all getting better and feeling good now.

Active weekend last weekend: We had an active weekend last weekend. Juliet got to visit with her godfather and uncle Brian. He was up for the weekend b/c we were running in the Baltimore Marathon Relay last Saturday. Our team did great and we all ran our parts in 9 to 10 minute miles. Not too bad for Brian's first race and my first race after having a baby! I was so proud of everyone.

This weekend: Is the first time I will be away from Juliet :( Both John and I are part of a bridal party in a wedding for our friends Dan and Ruth so we are going up to Harrisburg for the weekend to take part in the celebration and Juliet is spending quality time with her Gram-ma Barb. She is coming to our house and staying the weekend with Juliet and I know she will be in good hands but I'm going to miss her so much!!! It will be really hard for me to leave... Still don't know if I can do it but since I am in the wedding I kind of have to!

Juliet is getting more and more active during the day everyday and is doing great! She is the best and I have never been happier :)

8 weeks

Smiles!

Juliet having fun during Bath Time!

Juliet's 2 month doctor's visit: Juliet was 10 pounds 1 ounce at her doctor's visit today & 22 inches & her head was 14 3/4 inches... All of these measurements were in the 25th percentile. I asked my mom to check my baby book to see what I weighted around the same time and she said at 6 weeks I was 11 pounds and 23 inches! I was a chunk, ha ha! Little Juliet also got her first shot and only cried for a few seconds before she forgot all about it so I'm glad it didn't cause her too much pain :(

She is in her Crib (sort of!): for the last 5 days Juliet has been sleeping in her crib for at least most of the night, around 4 AM if I'm tired I take her into our room!!! She was sleeping 4 or 5 hour stretches when she was in our room but now with the switch she sleeps at most 3 hours at a time :( but I think in a few more days she will get used to her room and start to sleep longer (hopefully!) But at least I don't have to work right now so I just hope within 4 weeks she starts to sleep longer. Getting me up only once a night would be great!

She is so much fun: Since about 5 weeks she has started to smile and play for longer periods each day. Right now she will play and smile on her play mat for at least 45 minutes at a time. It so fun to watch her discover she can grab and hit her toys and the way she smiles at me when I talk to her. We love play time!

7 Weeks

My Mommy finally got a picture of me holding up my head!!! Look how strong I am everyone :)

One of Juliet's smiling pictures :) We are getting a ton of smiles now and each time it melts my heart. She is such an active and alert baby!!! So much so that she does not sleep as much as a newborn should (have to really work at making her nap!). It's great to see her so alert but hard not to get much sleep. But her cuteness makes up for my sleepiness.
Look how big she is getting, Quest the cat used to be soooo much bigger than Juliet now they are about the same length!

Here Juliet is grabbing her "Friends" I call her toys and her mobile animals her friends because she will smile and stare at them for a long time. She is starting to "play" and can spend 30 minutes or more have fun on her activity mat. She can also hold her head up really well during tummy time but unfortantly Juliet does not like tummy time very much. But Juliet does LOVE her baths and smiles lots during bath time.

It's getting COLD out side so we are starting to bundle her in hats and gloves... Too bad most of her clothes are summer clothes, time to go shopping :)
