Funnies

We have been playing with Juliet's foam letters in the bath tub.  We stick them to her and she tries her hardest to get them off.  Tonight Jon stuck one to her belly and she pushed her belly in and out until it fell off.  It is really funny.  Will try to get her to do it on video, yes with a diaper on. :)

When you pat the bed to get her to lay down she starts hitting her hand on the bed like we do.  She will lay her head down then sit up quickly.  Thinks it is a fun game to her.

Splash and Giggle Fun

Or bath time as some may call it.

Tonight during her bath we were playing with Juliet's foam letters.  I was spelling out How Now Brown Cow and when I said cow Juliet went MMMM, it's her way of saying MOO.  It was so cute and unexpected.

So of course I have been trying variations to get her to do it.  You have to say cow as the last word.

Piggo

Our little piglet has had an appetite this weekend.  Seems like every time we turn around she wants something to eat.  It's not just yogurt either.  It's cookies (oreos and nilla wafers), crackers, ice cream, meatballs, cheese, plain spaghetti noodles, fruit loops (she puts them in a bowl and eats them with a spoon or just shoves them in by the handful), grapes (this is a new one, I cut them up bite size and give them to her, she ate 2), powerade, (she just stole daddy's powerade), tea but that's nothing new,  and whatever else Mama fed her while we were gone yesterday!  We have gone from eating absolutely nothing to everything we can get her hands on.  I can't seem to fill her up and she is cranky because she is hungry.

Example, she just went into the pantry and brought me a jar of food and she is still hungry.  She needs to eat big people food that baby food is doing nothing for her.

Mouth Full

Juliet is 16 months old.  I can't believe it.  She is so much fun.  Such a lovebug.

Number 7 tooth made it's appearance last night or today.  We are calling it today on the tooth chart.  Guessing that is why we had a bad night last night.  Daddy had the right idea, sleep in the guest room.  We finally got her to make an animal sound, other than woof woof.  She will now moo, or something like it.  It's more of a mmm but she is trying.

If you are wondering about the work list, as she says new words I will update the post and change the date so it jumps to the top, you won't miss anything. 

Juliet is being treated for strep again, he didn't actually do the test, but all the signs and symptoms are there so that is what he is going with.  He said she is a happy growing baby and that we are doing a good job raising her.  He is happy with her growth and development and is not worried at all about her giving up milk.  Says alot of babies do it.  Of course he wanted to know when we are planning on having another one.  There is not an answer so don't ask.  Did I tell you that Juliet went to work with me on Friday.  She stayed in my office and played with everything I have in there.  Pulled out all the drawers and  emptied everything in them onto the floor.  Then turned an entire box of Frosted Flakes out onto the floor.  We went to the doctor from there.  I think she behaved beautifully and I actually got work done.

Watch the video on Flickr of her sliding down on her tummy.  My little fearless one... Unless of course daddy puts bubbles in my bath, I will scream like they burn me. 

We can't figure it out!

I went shopping at the outlets on 290 with Jessica Ridley Daigle today.  I use both names for those who don't know her married name.  I got my birthday gift from Mom and Tim.  I love Coach outlet and will never shop a retail store again for a bag.  This place is awesome and even gave a 20% coupon as we walked in.  That is a very nice outlet if you haven't been.  I suggest going before noon as that is when it gets mega busy and hot. 

 

Love to all!

PS - Why is she crying, it is after 11 she should be sound asleep.  Go to sleep Juliet!! 

Happy Birthday Mommy

Today is my 31st birthday.  It has been awesome.  I took the day off work and spent the day being lazy.  Last night we met Mama at Pappa's Seafood and had a yummy pre-birthday dinner.  I love birthdays, I celebrate for a while.  Jon got up early today and went to Best Buy to get us a new washer and dryer using the rebate program.  He surprised me when he got home by buying the red ones that I wanted.  FUN!!  Juliet woke up early but didn't really want to get out of bed so we snuggled.  I told her, "tell Mommy happy birthday" and she grabbed my face and gave me a kiss.  Is there any better way to start a day?  I was able to get in for a facial this morning and that was awesome.  Jon and I spent the afternoon playing WII and baking a birthday cake.  Tonight we had green tomatillo chicken enchiladas.  Tomorrow night we are going to Kirby's Steakhouse for a special dinner.  I am so loved.

I love her laugh & tooth #6

It is so infectious and loud.  She has such a great laugh and loves to laugh.  She also thinks daddy is really funny.

It is so great to hear since we have been fighting tooth #6 that came in today!  She has been really cranky all weekend, hasn't slowed her down any, just made sleeping fun. 

Sullivan Birthday Weekend

We left for Frisco around 8 Friday night which put us pulling up around midnight, this is after I came home at 11 with a very bad migraine that hit out of no where.  It was a long trip but Juliet slept from right past 59 on the Beltway until we parked in front of the house.  Then it was a 2 and a half hour scream fest until she calmed down again.  I didn't get much sleep because the littlest Clements thinks she needs to sleep sideways.  We did get to sleep until 8 Saturday morning.  Then it was off to the races.  Juliet inherited a PowerWheels 4 wheeler that is battery powered and you press a button to make it go forward.  Madison only had to show her once and she learned that big red button made her toy go forward.  She stayed stuck most of the time, but I do not think it will take her long to learn to steer.  She would run into something and look around and say Uh-Uo.  That was the word of the weekend.  I felt so sorry for the dog because I think Juliet aimed for her sometime and the dog is old and can't get out of the way.  She is such a sweet dog and let JC pet all over her and never said a word.

Sullivan had a t-ball game in the morning and then we had his birthday party in the afternoon.  Juliet enjoyed watching Sullivan play ball.  She ran around like a normal kid until the game started, scraped her knee, then sat on the bleachers with me while the game was being played and ate her lunch and cookie.  After the game it was a mad dash for lunch and to get ready for the party.  I forget very quickly how loud 5 and 6 year old kids are.  I think he had a really nice party though.  Juliet still will not eat cake, but don't leave her out of ice cream!!  Harrison and Bryce stayed the night and Madison had Grace over so it was a full house and the girls let Juliet play with them and even tried to interact with her some.  It was sweet of them to try.  I was rewarded with sushi for dinner so the day wasn't a loss for me. :)

After the party Jon, Darrell and Sullivan went to the FC Dallas Soccer game.  All over the stadium it gives you a number to call for tickets.  Well it is wrong and it sends you to a recording that sends you to another number, not a nice number either.  The way the woman talked made Juliet giggle, which cracked us up.  I think the guys had a good time.  It was a nail biter at the end.

Poor Juliet is working on another tooth and has been sleeping with us because she will not calm.  Well she got a little wild last night and fell out of the bed.  She must have hit something because she has a nice black eye now.  Tomorrow is going to be fun explaining to the school. 

The wildflowers were beautiful on the drive home and if we would have been just us I would have stopped but we were all ready to get home.  I send my camera off tomorrow to get worked on.  Lovely...  Well off to bed, Juliet is asleep and so should I be.

Love to all
