Juliet's Moving around!

Here are a few video's of Juliet moving around. She is starting the basic for crawling and can make circles, go backwards, and take at most one lunge forward. But most of the time when she tries to go forward she gets stuck like you will see in the video! It won't surprise me if she walks and skips crawling b/c she seems most interested in standing and trying to walk around furniture.

Poor little girl has had a bad cold this weekend into to this week :( Hope she feels better soon it breaks to my heart to see her feeling bad.

My strong little lady!

Juliet pulled up on the coffee table all by herself to stand this morning for the first time! I was in shock that she could do that and still don't know if I believe what I saw. She is going to be walking before we know it and then I will get all my exercise from chasing her around the house.

We also had a doctor's appointment today and her weight at 7 months plus one week is 17 pounds and 10 oz's. I asked the doctor if that was okay since she has been averaging a 2 pound a month weight gain and he told me they start to slow down on their weight gain around this age, I never knew that. I also learned that she is allowed to start having meats in her diet and he wants me to start feeding her chunky foods! What??? She can't be old enough for that?

My little Hercules is also nick named BAM BAM!!! Juliet is really really really good and smashing objects into each other and sometimes she accidentally hits mommy or daddy in the face with a toy and it hurts! ha ha. She is a strong little girl and likes to make a lot of noise hitting things :)

John and I are going to our friend Jason's wedding this weekend so we are leaving the little princess with her grandmothers. My mom has her Friday night and John's mom will have her Saturday night. They are excited to spend time with her but I'm going to miss her to pieces. I never knew how hard it would be to leave her even for two days... She is the best!

Happy 7 months Baby Girl!

Hi, I'm cute and I'm 7 Months!!!

I am dressing up for the nice weather!



Playdate with friends






Juliet's faviorte thing to play with was the toy knief... I guess don't make Juliet mad!





She wants to be everywhere and play with everything these days!







She LOVES the swing and going to the park to look at the other kids :)




Juliet is cutting her first tooth!!! The bottom left tooth has broken the skin and I see a little white tooth coming up! Juliet will give us a cute little smile with some teeth on the bottom now :)

On the move! Juliet is scooting around on her tummy and can get pretty far by doing that and she is also good at turning with the scooting. She gets on her hands and knees but mostly just rocks back and forth once she gets there and falls down. She wants to stand all the time now because she is sooooo OVER sitting. She needs mommy to help her stand so she is starting to wine a little and hold her hands out when she want to use me as balance to stand.

6 1/2 months

Juliet likes to play with the ruler, how big is Juliet?
Going in for the apple!
First trip to the indoor pool









Juliet is so fun!!!! Love this girl SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH :)

She has a few new things she likes to do!
  • She loves lights switches, turning them off and on. Juliet is getting really good at using her hands to handle her toys and is grabbing everything she can get her hands on
  • Throwing her blocks across the room! She is freakishly strong
  • Tearing things apart. She is not yet to the stage where she puts things back together but she is really good and taking things apart
  • She is trying really hard to sit up by herself and does her little baby sit ups every day

  • She still loves her solid foods and has not yet found a food she does not like (although apples seem to be her very favorite!)

I really love being a Mom! It is the best and my heart is so full of love for Juliet and it just grows more and more everyday. Our little family is doing great and we are going to spend some quality time with Juliet this weekend and take her to the park (she loves the baby swing!) since it will be almost 60 degrees this weekend. Oh and Juliet is still sleeping 10-12 straight every night! This makes me VERY happy & I am hoping it will continue.
