comparisions

People ask who Juliette resembles...(I know, I know...her dad!), however Juliette is a nice mix of her two sisters. When her eyes are open, we think she looks alot like biggest sister Isabelle. When she is asleep, I think she looks alot like Allie. When I am dazed and confused, I most often call her "Allie".

Cupcakes!

The Cardinals are finally on a roll...

Smiles...

You would hope with some of the first smiles, I could at least have had my camera focused! Oh...the glimpse of those first grins just makes my heart flip flop.

Juliette is 4 weeks old!

Rain rain...

Even though we have had ALOT of rain this year, we were able to play in a warm summer downpour this week.

Sweet baby yawns

Life through the camera lens...by Isabelle.

Isabelle shares my love of photography and has recently become obsessed with using my camera or phone to take pictures. It is pretty funny to see what she finds "photo worthy" and I spend a bit of my time deleting. I told her that I would track down an old digital camera for her to play with and she reminds me of this daily as I have yet to find the cord to charge it.

2 Musketeers. All for one and all for one. Barbie movies make me crazy!

2 pictures that are just too sweet!!!!

Poor Juliette doesn't get a moments peace!

Isabelle giving Juliette her 2nd bottle! Being the 3rd child...I am making sure she will take one! Allie decided to give up the bottle at 9 months and use me as a human pacifier! I don't want to make that mistake again.

Sleeping doll.

Juliette is now 3 1/2 weeks and I really wonder where that time has gone!!! It has been wonderful to see family and watch the girls get to know one another. I am a bit mentally blurry from lack of sleep and have constant neck pain from drifting off to sleep while nursing her any time of day! Juliette is much loved by her bigger sisters and they act like she has always been part of the family while they go on about their day! Allie has shown a bit of the angry "middle" child syndrome...but mainly just to me and has only shown the utmost affection to Juliette! Thank goodness! Isabelle is excited to assume the "I'm in charge" role and is so helpful with Allie and also Juliette. She starts kindergarten in just 4 weeks! Just thinking about it makes me tear up!!! We will be soon getting school supplies and getting them prepared for their year.

Beautiful butterflies abound throughout our property.

Allie giving Juliette her first bottle! Allie likes to be a big helper when it comes to her baby sister and will cry if left out.

Tummy time on the Boppy.

Isabelle finds an alternative use for the "Bobby" (as she calls it).

Juliette all dressed up to go to the doctor....as you can see there is a reason for that giant green soothie pacifier!

Her stats:
9 lbs 2 oz (75th %)
21 1/4 in (90th %)

I bet you can guess what we have been busy doing the past 2 weeks! She is a little piggie!
