We have our first tooth and Happy Birthday Daddy

Happy Birthday Jon! We love you Daddy! On our way home today I saw her first tooth! It is so precious! Juliet spent 4 days in Liberty with Mama and Papa while Mommy needed to be there for Aunt Kimby and then Mommy had a wedding to shoot. We continue to ask for your prayers for the Pickett and Joiner families in this unbelievably rough time. Thank you so much Uncle Derek for keeping Juliet while we attended the funeral. It was so nice to know that she did not have to be out in 100 degree heat.

6 months old

Happy Half Birthday Miss Juliet Claire, she is 6 months old today. Mommy had some sniffles this morning when I realized my baby is six months old. It just doesn't seem possible that it has already been that long. Where has the time gone. So much has happened and she is growing so fast. You can't leave her alone anywhere or she will roll over or try to crawl away. She is a pro at sitting up and the helicopter to get where she wants to go. It is funny to hear her when she is mad because it sounds like she is saying "Mama Help". Granddad even noticed it this weekend and asked if she just said help. I found her a new sippy that she likes. She likes the Avent sippy because she can chew on it better. Speaking of chewing, she bit me tonight with that tooth that is breaking through. You can't see it yet, but you can feel it, especially when she gnaws on your chin. We have started sitting up in the bathtub splashing the water after her bath. Mommy gets soaked, but Juliet has a blast. So much in so little time.

We hate shots

Juliet is 16 lbs 14 ozs and 28 inches long. She had to have her last Hep B shot this time. I took her by myself. That was a mistake, I think i cried harder than she did. I read in Parents magazine about a numbing cream that I am going to ask for next time. I hate to see her suffer. I know, I know, don't say it.

Sitting by herself

Happy Father's Day, if I don't get to post later this week, I want that there! You know me, I always put prayer requests on this page. Please pray for little Ben, his family, and the Doctors and Nurses at Memorial Herman Children's hospital. It's hard enough when an adult is sick, but it is almost impossible when it is a baby. I took off Friday and spent most of the day at the hospital with Kimberly and Russell. It was hard for me to watch them have to go through this. Juliet is now sitting by herself. She had been trying for a while and now has the balance thing down. If you can believe it on the 23rd she will be 6 months old. My baby is growing too fast for me.

All sorts of fun

How is it June already? Congratulations to Russel and Kimberly Pickett on the birth of their son Benjamin Lawrence. He was born June 5, 2009. Congratulations to Nathan and Nicole Lino on the birth of their daughter Chole Reese. She was born June 5, 2009. This is Uncle Derek and Aunt Jessie's 6th niece and nephew, three have been born in the last 6 months!!. After 10 days of forcing Amoxicillin down Juliet's throat for an icky nose, Juliet has to go back to the doctor on Monday because she is still stuffed up. This is not good for breathing or sleeping. We had pictures taken of Miss J in her baptism dress and her swimmy. She is such a ham, I love it. She was tired but smiled so big for the camera. I bought her a kiddy pool that we are going to try tomorrow if it is beautiful like it has been. Look for vidoes later for this experiment.
