12 hours of sleep OMG, she did it :)

For the first time EVER Juliet slept 12 straight hours without waking up from 7PM-7AM. WOO HOO. For a long time she has only been getting me up once a nice between 3-5am but has never slept striaght through the night until now. GO JULIET! Well rested babies are happy babies.

5 1/2 Months

Things you should know about Juliet

• She is obsessed with the Cats
• She has about 100 different facial expressions
  
• She likes to headbutt me, daddy, and the cats
• If you kiss her on her belly she will laugh!
• She loves kisses in general and lots of attention from mommy & daddy! She also wishes Quest the cat would pay more attention to her
  
• She likes to do things herself (like putting the spoon her her mouth when she gets her solids) which makes for a mess at meal time
• Just loves anything that plays music or lights up
• She can show her dramatic side at times
• Is a fan of "Power" naps
  
• She has definitely found her voice and often squeals very loudly!
  

Juliet has tried the following foods: Sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, prunes, green beans, bananas and she LIKES the following foods: Sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, prunes, green beans, bananas :) She seems to like everything so far, maybe I won't have a picky eater (like I was as a kid!)

Juliet has started something new where she sticks her butt up and gets on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth. So cute! I think she wants to crawl really bad but she is not quite strong enough yet but once she is crawling I know who she is going after, Quest the cat. She tries so hard to "chase" him can only turn herself and roll.

Happy 5 months Juliet

My little girl is growing up so fast. We went to the doctors on Monday and Juliet is already up to 15 pounds.

Here are some pictures and video's to show you what Juliet has been up to

We went to Storyville last Sunday with some friends and Juliet had a great time playing with all the other babies, here she is practicing sitting up

Oh Finn, you are so cute I will hold your hand, Flirt!
Let's share the toy ;)

Hanging out with some more kids for the Steelers game

I love tummy time now!

In my jumper and loving it!

Juliet started turning on her mobile on her own a few weeks ago with her feet and I decided to video tape it so enjoy :)

4 months and 3/4ths!

Sweet potato face!

I'm sitting up Mom
I love Quest, but does Quest love me?????

What's new in Juliet's world???

Well I think Juliet will be an Animal lover b/c not only does she love the animals on her Mobile but now she is obsessed with the two cats. She has seen me pet them and now she pets them also, (at times pulls there hair but we are teaching her not to do that!)

She is getting better with her nap times and bedtime sleep. She has been pretty consistence with her daytime naps and is in a much better mood in the evenings because of it. She usually takes three one hour naps and is in bed from 7PM-7am (but still gets up once for a snack from mom)

Juliet has also learned how to sit on her own for a few minutes! After a minute or two of sitting on her own she usually rolls down to her back.

We are still working on solids, she has had rice cereal and sweet potato's so far and seems to really like the sweet potato's. I think more of it gets on her bib then in her tummy but we are trying to teach her how to eat off a spoon but really it not a big deal if she does not get it yet b/c the don't really need to start solids till 6 months but the doctor said we could start now if we wanted.

Juliet's new favorite things is to use her bouncer that Grandma Barb gave the last time we were in Pittsburgh, there is a video of her having fun in it below!

Well...

I guess I keep posting about rolling but when she gets it she gets it! She also rolled from her tummy to her back today so she has now gone both directions all by herself, now we have to baby proof the house b/c she is on the move!!!

Caught on Video

It's been hard to get Video of Juliet rolling b/c she does it randomly but here it is :)

Rolling, rolling, rolling

So Juliet has been trying REALLY hard for the last two days to roll :) She was even having a hard time napping and falling asleep at night because she kept trying to roll. She would go from her back to her side and get stuck there and today she finally got all the way over : ) She still seems confused on how to get from her belly to her back so that way may take longer for her, which is funny b/c babies are suppose to go from belly to back before they can go the other way. Oh well Juliet is going to do things differently!!!

I have had so much fun with her this week that I don't want to go back to work :( BOOOO.

We are going back to Pittsburgh tomorrow for New Years! Juliet is going going to be an expert travel baby :)
