Juliet's 6 Months Old!

Juliet is officially 0.5 years old today! She is sitting up independently now and doing well with her daily cereal meal. We tried to give her the first vegetables - peas - yesterday and today. She made hilarious 'disgusted' faces at the first taste of something with a little flavor other than milk/formula/cereal.

Here are some of the professional photos. 

Petting Zoo, Meeting Hallie & Pool Fun

It's been a while so here are some pictures from the last few weeks! 

Juliet met some new animals at the petting zoo a couple of weeks ago at Brad's company picnic. 

Petting a goat

This goat was REALLY interested in Juliet

Juliet was watching all the animals walk around

That goat was cute!

Next up is cousin Hallie being born! Here are some pictures from the hospital.

Today we took Juliet to the pool for the first time! She likes taking a bath so much we figured the pool would be a slam dunk. She did pretty well even though the pool water was much cooler than her usual bath water. We didn't stay too long because she started to get a little cranky after a while.

I wore a hat so Juliet would wear her hat.

Swimming with daddy

"What is this contraption?"

She was really kicking her legs in the water but not going anywhere!

Swimming with mommy

Making funny faces

Nice day for a swim!

Crawfish, Sisters, and Eating Rice Cereal

This weekend we visited Charles & Amada for their annual crawfish boil. Everything was so good and we got to see how big Michael and Aiden are getting. It was Juliet's first crawfish boil! She got to see a couple of live crawfish but was not too interested in them. She watched mommy & daddy eat some though!

Yay for crawfish! It was a beautiful day.

She cried for just a minute - broke her streak of perfect behavior at parties!

On Sunday we finally got around to taking the "sister" pictures with the puppies. Everybody's onesie shirts were a little tight ... but especially Maya's! We took a lot of pictures, most came out bad but these two were the best of the bunch.

We just started to give Juliet some rice cereal as practice for eating with a spoon since we got the OK from her pediatrician. She is getting better, but mostly just spits it all out and then sucks on the bib. Here's a video of the messy experience!

Juliet's Baptism

Last weekend we drove to New Orleans for Mandy's baby shower and Juliet's baptism. It was a VERY busy weekend!

Juliet wore her Snow White dress for Mandy's shower.

 She was baptized at St. Rita in Harahan by Deacon Daniel Flynn (my mom's cousin). 

After, we had a big party at my parents' (Grandma & Paw Paw) house.

She was so cute and well behaved. She loves baths!

Her party dress was so cute. I could not get a good picture, she was very squirmy.

Juliet's first day at day care was on Tuesday. I took this in the morning while we were still at home getting ready. She did really well but of course I cried when dropping her off!

I took this one yesterday afternoon, shortly before she launched herself off the Boppy pillow (forward) and rolled to her back!

February Fun

Juliet is approaching her 3 month birthday! We have been having so much fun at home. I have to go back to work in just a few more weeks. :(

She is much more interactive now, smiling and laughing, noticing her toys more and grabbing at them. Here are some recent photos.

Juliet likes to stick out her tongue

We had several Mardi Gras outfits!

We celebrated Valentine's Day also!

Tummy time practice! I love the flower on the butt.

We setup her "Snug" seat the other day. She likes it!
