First Year Portraits

So I am totally in love with these shots Robyn took. I am having such a hard time deciding which one to frame (big, over the mantle) but, I think this one captures the look I was hoping for. It looks like a painting!

These are also more favorites, although all that were posted on the photography blog are favorites too!

Baby Blues

Here's Juliet this past Sunday in her beautiful blue, smocked corduroy dress I had made for her (by Justin's "Aunt" Peggie). And now that she is walking, pctures are very difficult!

Our little Baby Blues has been sick all week...a first :( I am pretty sure she has the fever virus. A fever, fussy and no other symptoms. She doesn't like for me to be out of sight, so we have played A LOT and ALL over the house! It's actually really fun playing with her. I just hate that she has a fever. I know when I have one, my skin is sensitive and light hurts my eyes. The doc said to wait it out, unless she has more symptoms or her fever reaches 103. She has only had a temp as high as 102.  Thankfully, since I'm still nursing her, she is getting plenty of fluids.

   

Girly Girl

Love this! Juliet got two purses from Aint Leigh today...oh the fun!! She is taking them all over the house. When she sits in your lap, the purses come too. And when it was time for bed, she cried because the purses were put away.

We Have A Walker!

Miss Juliet finally decided to walk and she decided on her birthday! From reading Juliet's "signs of readiness to walk," we thought we would have a "toddler" by Thanksgiving...nope. Then we thought for sure, Christmas, nope. She did began to step out more a few days after Christmas at CeCe and Pops. I have some video of that. And I have some video of her making the decision to become a full time walker and I have some footage from today. Juliet was content walking with a finger. At first our backs were killing us, but between Thanksgiving and Christmas she grew taller, so it wasn't as bad. She wasn't using our finger for anything, but she wasn't confident of her skills yet. At Christmas she would get quite upset if she wanted to walk, but you didn't. Thankfully Granddaddy was there to offer a finger when ever she wanted it. The day before her birthday she tried walking a few steps, but on Tuesday January 5th, she took the plunge! At church the next day we walked from one side of the church to the other looking for Daddy. Once we got to the fellowship hall, she started yelling, "Da-Da, Da-Da !" To cute and a first. By Saturday (the day of her party) she was squatting to pick up toys without falling over! Really I can't say it enough, babies are amazing!!
