As you can see, blogging has fallen by the wayside lately due to an incredibly busy time around the holidays and my 30th birthday. My mom has been staying with us ever since Christmas, and we've had lots of family in and out ever since then. It's been so fun to have everyone here but also so busy that there hasn't been time for much else! I will do my best to get caught up, but in the meantime...
Juliet is now 9 months old!
At her well check today she
weighed in at 20.5 lbs (75%) and
measured 30 1/4 in (98%)
She is hitting all of the developmental milestones she's supposed to be hitting and then some. She is a VERY active baby and has mastered crawling and pulling herself up. She basically does not sit still. She learned how to stand in her crib a few weeks ago, but didn't know how to sit back down. It took about a week for her to figure that out, but now she's up and down no problem. She quit nursing (her choice, not mine) a few weeks ago so she is exclusively on formula now, having 4 bottles a day, and eating 3 meals. The girl is insatiable and pretty much eats all day long. She has mastered the pincer grasp and self feeds everything but yogurt or oatmeal. We introduced the snack catcher the other day and she figured it out within minutes, and she can also handle the pouch snacks herself. She is wearing mostly 12 month clothes, size 3 diapers and size 3 shoes. She still only has her 2 bottom teeth but I'm guessing those top two are not too far away. Her hair is pretty light at this point - light enough that I would call it blonde at this point. It looks like it will come in a little darker than Laila's, but it's definitely blonde. She loves to wave and clap and high-five as well as make a clicking sound with her mouth. We are working on teaching her a few signs (more, all done, please, thank you) but she's not quite responding yet. Over the last month she had her first ear infection, was RSV+ and had roseola all within one week. That was a tough time for everyone. She was such a sick and sad little girl! We are so grateful her RSV was not bad enough to warrant a breathing machine. She was a tough cookie and made it through...poor girl. She loves sitting in the cozy coupe and being pushed around, and she loves "getting cozy" with daddy (i.e. snuggling on daddy's shoulder). She's just full of smiles and melts our hearts daily. We love her so much and are so happy God blessed us with her.

the one in her sparkly head-exercise band reminds me of the full house episode where jesse puts 1 year old michelle in a little pink work-out outfit and head band and tries to get her to exercise... only you could appreciate that reference so I thought I'd share :)
Love the update on Juliet. Her pictures are adorable, and I want to hold her NOW! She probably would rather I watch as she does her own thing. Love to Juliet.
Heather, keep up the good work keeping us informed on the girls milestones.
