halloween at the office

On Friday daddy brought Juliette by the office for lunch. Here are a few pics:

17 weeks...a very important week!

It figures that on her 17th week she hit some big milestones...laughing and rolling back to front! Here are the pics from week 17- Happy Halloween!

happy baby!

that's right! you don't mess with me!

silly lamb!

more smiles!

pumpkin butt!

this is so fun!!

the other way...

Yesterday when I was at my parents house getting ready to change Juliette, she decided to just roll over. She had done front to back at about 5-6 weeks and was pretty consistant with that. She's been on her side a few times but never really tried to go back to tummy...until yesterday. When I got home I put her on her back to see if she would do it again- and she did! I taped it in case she wouldn't do it when Joey got home, but he got home quickly so I made him come upstairs and he got to see it!

Then she took a nap while we got dinner ready and when she woke up we brought her downstairs. Instead of putting her in the pack and play, I said, "let's just put her on the floor"... she started rolling in all directions and it was pretty funny (no video of that, we were busy eating!). Now every time I put her on her back, she wants to roll. It's pretty cute!

laugh!!

This morning Juliette had her first real laugh!! Joey quickly grabbed the video camera and we were able to capture a little one!

daddy daycare

I just wanted to post a quick pic that joey sent me this morning :-) I love that Joey has his day with her on Fridays!
p.s. 16 week pics will be coming...

apple orchard

Joey got an unexpected day off of work today so we decided to go to the apple orchard! We also decided that from now on he will be taking a day off during the week in the fall so we can go when it's not busy (granted, it was pretty cold today, but going during the week when it's not busy=wonderful!). Juliette really won't remember any of this, but I will...for some reason it was just such a cute fun family day and it made me really happy! Here is the day in pictures...

If they would've had it in his size, I would've bought this...

the only people at the orchard were old ladies (joey's wanted this caption to read: "bingo just got out")

Juliette in pictures during the visit:

sleeping oh hey point to the cute babymmmm....hands this is hard work...

Joey enjoying the hot cider (it was really good!). Also, when we were in this little room enjoying our cider, the old ladies from above were in there talking and were so cute (and kinda brash...one lady reminded me of Grace). They were talking about things during the war and the depression and about baby diapers :-)

mommy and juliette (in her apple pants that Meghan made for her!)

apple bum :-)

cute little family pic :-)

one busy weekend!

Juliette and I took our first road trip together. We went to Chicago to hang out with friends and watch some hockey... and we made some other stops along the way. Juliette did a GREAT job on the ride. She slept most of the time, unless we stopped to eat (which was not as bad as I thought it would be) I was worried that she would not sleep well since she slept all day and it would be her first night not sleeping in her own crib, but she did sleep from 10om-6am, so I was pretty happy! The next night she woke up once and I didn't want her to wake up the other baby, so I fed her. On Sunday when we came home she slept a lot in the car, so I was worried again...but we got home, took a bath, ate some dinner and went to bed- and she slept her normal 10 hours with no waking up. She must have been happy to be in her own crib again! So here is the story of our weekend in pictures... enjoy!

Lunch at Marquette with Anna and Molly (girls from my C-Team last year) You can't really tell, but Juliette is wearing her "clutch" onesie the girls made for her!

First annual picture of Juliette and Harrison with pumpkins.One with the mommies...

Alex and Mychal photo op before their game...

VERY interested in scouting the other team

practicing our cheering

Photo shoot with Harrison and Juliette....mind you, the moms were not all that smart in planning this as it was right before Juliette needed to eat and Harrision was going down for a nap

why are you making me do this? i am HUNGRY!!!

ok guys, please sit still...no? one wants to crawl of the couch and the other is eating her handsmay i please have your nookie? or is Harrison going to be a bully? (I LOVE this pic!)One sweet one...she is trying to snuggle with him :-)
On the way home we stopped in Madison to visit my cousin Kelly, see her house and introduce her to Juliette. We went to lunch at a little diner so Juliette got some time out of the car!

So that's it! We were happy to get back and see daddy (and take a shower/bath!). This weekend will be a busy one too...we have a wedding on Friday and Saturday is the Zoo Boo! Hope you all have a great week!
