I cannot believe my baby is one month old! Time flies and I don't like that one bit. Juliet is a precious angel and we have been blessed tremendously! She is such a great eater and sleeper. I cannot get enough of her! I love being home and caring for her. Sometimes we don't get dressed until 2 o'clock, but that's okay. We spend most of our mornings in the green chair in her nursery. We sing a lot! If she's fussy, I wrap her up, sit in the rocker, pat her bottom, and begin singing and she quiets down. She'll do the same for a vacuum cleaner, so that's not saying much for my singing! I love singing to her about God and His love for her. I am so excited about teaching her about her Creator and Savior!! Motherhood is such a wonderful experience and I thank God for it!
She turned one month old with grace and beauty. Today was her one month appointment and she is doing great. Once again, we were told she's perfect...what parent has to be told that? :) We are thrilled about her stats! Juliet weighed in at 9 lbs. 1.5 oz., 21 1/4 in. long, and her head measured 14 3/4 in.! Her weight and length are average, but her head, this girl's got a noggin'! It's in the 80th percentile! Which means (I had no idea what all that percentile stuff meant) out of 100 girls her age, her head is bigger than 80% of them. The doctor was also impressed with her muscle tone and her neck strength. She holding it up and studying everything. Just this morning, Juliet began making "real" noises instead of just squeaking and she smiled in response to me talking to her and calling her name! It was precious, even though it was at 5:30 am and she was wide awake. The only negative of the appointment was the heal prick and hepatitis shot. She did well with the heal prick, but the shot...oh, I've never seen her get so red and upset. It was so terrible. I couldn't think about why she was screaming. She settled down very well. Before we left I nursed her and then we went shopping! We went to Target and to the mall. She slept through it all. Not only was I proud of her performance, I did great on my maiden voyage! Getting her carrier out and in the buggy and even with the stroller. It was really easy. Yea!
Yesterday my dear friend Jennifer Butts and her little boy, Brock came to meet Juliet. It was a great visit. They spent the afternoon with us and Brock is full of life! He loved Juliet, in fact, he really liked kissing her. It was so funny. They were stilling side-by-side and he was kissing her cheek and decided he wanted more. He tried to get a better angle and get on top of her and get to her lips. HILARIOUS! Thank you Jennifer for coming. I loved showing Juliet off to you!!

I think she is perfect, too! Oh, I wish I could hold her right now!!!
Hugs and kisses and love,
Mama & Deda
Aww...she's so gorgeous! I'm so glad we got to come see you! Brock really did love her...I was afraid he was going to kiss her all day long. I'll give him a good talking to about the appropriateness of his actions!
OOOOH Hilary! Is she REALLY a month old?! She is just beautiful and I'm so glad motherhood is going so well for you.
A huge kudos to you for venturing out on your own. Um, the first time I went to Target (or anywhere recreational) by myself was December...yep, he was over 5 months old.lol! And I didn't have enough guts to take the stroller. That wasn't until 6 1/2 months old...like 2 weeks ago!!
We MUST get to Alabama!
Happy 1 month Juliet!! Time does fly. Hillary, she is just precious. Love those sweet curls and you look great too! I know you are so busy w/motherhood, but if you get a chance send me your address via facebook email. I have something to send sweet Juliet. Have a great week.
Love,
Mollie
She is beautiful Hilary! Eat it up, it goes by so fast. I remember the days that I just sat and held Lily all day long. I miss it, but it gets more and more fun.
She's precious Hillary and I'm so glad she's being such a wonderful baby for yall!! Keep up the great work. So cute!!
