42 weeks

OMG- only 10 weeks left? What are we going to do??? I am sure we will still be taking lots of pictures :-) Here are some from his week (a little late as usual). Juliette is now climbing on everything...fast. She is pretty brave and is also good at getting/falling down. It's super fun to watch her!

it's like we're in jail!

listen...i am in charge!

don't mess with this princess :-)

i just love the park

Even though Juliette can really only "do" a few things and our visits aren't very long, I love the park. It feels so all-american to walk up to the park with the mommy, daddy, and baby (we will not be getting a dog!). She still loves the swing and the slide, too! She gets lots of practice on the slide at home :-) You just have to make sure she has socks on or her feet kinda stop her :-) Here are a few pics from my camera yesterday (it took me about 10 shots to get 3 decent ones because of the delay on my phone...I need to start bringing my real camera to the park!

just some more shots on the swing b/c she loves it so much!

busy busy weekend!

Whew! That was one busy weekend! On Friday my cousin Alisha came in from CA to surprise Noelle for her bachelorette weekend and then we all went to Avenue Q (hilarious!). Noelle is a part of this groups called The Scene, so we were also at an afterparty at the Chambers that was pretty sweet. Got home around 1.

On Saturday Joey had golf in the morning and Juliette and I headed up to Macy's for some shopping. I wanted to punch several people during that shopping trip. During her afternoon nap, Joey came home from golf and I left for Noelle's shower/bachelorette. It was a fun night, but I was feeling old!! Got home a little after midnight (thanks for the ride Brent!).

Sunday morning Joey went into work so my mom came over during Juliette's morning nap to stay with her so I could do the Target/grocery run. She was kind of upset b/c Juliette was sleeping the whole time, but it was super helpful!! Alex was also in town so he came over to visit and got to see Juliette climb around and laugh :-) Joey got home from work, we talked for about 20 minutes, and then I left for a bridal shower! It was super fun and I was there later than I thought- Juliette was already asleep when I got home! Got home around 7 and sat down with Joey for about an hour. We were both beat! Luckily (at this point) we don't have stuff planned for next weekend so we can just hang out!

41 weeks

Forty-one weeks and plugging along! She is so much fun right now and is super into climbing on everything- and she's getting pretty good at it! We're also loving this nice weather and getting out on lots of walks and enjoying the swings :-)

how we always start

what?
ahhhhhh hahahahaha! i am so funny!

needed one pic where you could see the card!

big girl!

PIRATE SHIP!!!

It's been purchased, folks! Gramma Jule and Grampa Steve-O walked the plank and bought the pirate ship!!!! It takes 3-4 weeks for the lovely Amish people to build it and then we get it! The guy who is going to clear out the backyard is coming this week, so Grampa will discuss things with him, but I am (fingers crossed!!) hoping that all will be done and ready for her 1st birthday party!! For the two of you who don't know the story, my parents have been looking at this pirate ship for about 10 years...seriously! Can't believe we'll finally have it!

gramma in the ship!

shopping

If you are ever unsure if you want something when you're shopping- don't bring Juliette! She loves EVERYTHING! If you hold anything up in front of her, she smiles! I actually really like her style of shopping- probably because she got it from me!!

shopping for Unkie B

shopping for herself :-)

over the hill!

It's the big four-ohhhhh! 40 weeks! That's as long as people are pregnant- but technically I went early, so it was a little less for me. Anyway, it seems like that 40 weeks of pregnancy is so boring compared to 40 weeks of a baby! I think the first time being prego was super fun, but I think that next time I'll just want to have the baby right away!


For the pics this week we wore black and got a fancy blinking button! I don't think she gets the grave nature of 40...

what is this blinking button all about?

she still just wants the card funny every timesee? soooo funnyand delicious!

how about the other side? yeah, still HILARIOUS!
so big!

Sorry about the delay in getting these up, but it has been a BUSY week and I am just now getting some downtime at 7pm on Sunday...just in time for the week!

popovers!

One of my Springtime Bunny presents was a popover pan...so this week I whipped up a quick batch! They were actually prety easy and they were delicious! Gonna try a lower cal method next time and see if they're as good...mmmmmm!

mmm

ready for some jelly...and my tummy!

sick baby

Boo! On Tuesday I had to pick Juliette up from daycare because she puked at breakfast. Apparently the bug is going around there...sucks. Just hope it doesn't come back! Good news is she didn't puke anymore when we got home and actually was pretty fun...which make me thinks she is a good faker (but I guess the puke was real!). She never got a fever, and was just off her nap schedule. She slept normally at night. So she is a good sick baby :-)

not a great pic b/c it's from my phone, but basically she played all day!
