Julianna: 3 Years

I took Julianna to the pediatrician on Monday for her 3 year checkup. She's such a tiny girl! She's only 26 lbs. and about 36 inches tall! Super petite but she's also super healthy so it's all good. She started out very small too though- she was 5 lbs. 8 oz. and 18.5 inches when she was born. She wasn't too thrilled about standing on the scale but she did great with everything else. I can't believe she's already 3!

Julianna: 3rd Birthday

This past weekend, we celebrated Julianna's 3rd birthday. I cannot believe our JuJu is already 3! She's turned into such a beautiful, smart, and spunky little girl and we are so proud of her.

We celebrated on Saturday with a Hello Kitty themed bounce party with our family and friends. Julianna had an amazing time playing and bouncing with her buddies- and daddy did too! We are so blessed to have such great people in our lives!

On Sunday (St. Patrick's Day and Julianna's actual birthday), we went to church in the morning and then headed to the Greensboro Children's Museum for a day of fun. All 4 of us had a blast playing at the museum. There was so much fun, interactice stuff for the kids to do! It was such a cool place to take the little ones!

 

We had such a great weekend celebrating our sweet Julianna Hope! Happy 3rd Birthday!

 

 



Olivia: 10 months

Olivia Grace is 10 months old! She weighs about 18 lbs. and is 27 inches long. She still has beautiful, big blue eyes and her hair is getting lighter everyday. She's crawling everywhere and getting into everything. She can stand on her own for a second or two. She pulls up on whatever she can reach and is cruising along the furniture. She'll be walking in no time! Olivia's sleeping is getting better. Last month, she was still waking up twice during the night but recently it's just been once. Olivia has graduated out of the baby bathtub and now takes her bath sitting right next to her big sister in the tub. They have a blast splashing each other! Olivia is still a breastfeeding champ. 10 months and going strong! She also LOVES food. She hasn't really rejected anything so far but her favorites have been bananas, cheese, ham, chicken, apples, carrots, and tons more! She's a good eater! Olivia adores her big sister and the feeling is mutual.

Happy 10 Months!

Olivia: 9 Months

Olivia is 9 months old! She is pulling up to stand now and crusing a little bit while holding on to something. Her crawling has gotten so much faster and she can get where she needs to go. She 4 teeth on top and 2 on the bottom. She's loving finger foods- she's had ham, turkey, cheese, egg, strawberries, bananas, apples, and carrots in bite size pieces. She's not a big fan of purees that aren't fruit so we're trying to the bite size pieces of veggies now. Her hair is pretty much always in a waterspout now because it's gotten so long. She's still wearing 6-9 month clothes but I think we'll be moving up very soon. She weighs between 18-20 lbs. and we think she's just perfect!

Olivia: chompers

The past few weeks haven't made for good sleep around our house. Olivia was up every hour or 2 all night long. Very exhausting! Well I took a peek into her mouth on Tuesday morning and discovered the culprit for the lack of sleep. FOUR top teeth are coming in all at the same time! Two of them have broken through and the other two are very close. No wonder she wasn't happy. During our sleepless nights, I finally ordered a Baltic amber teething necklace. I had heard so many great things about them and figured we didn't have anything to lose but maybe a little sleep and comfort to gain. The necklace came in the mail yesterday. So far, so good. If nothing else, it looks adorable on Olivia!

Olivia: 8 months

Olivia turned 8 months old this month! She's growing oh so fast and developing such an amazing personality. She can crawl! It's not perfect yet but she can definitely get to where she needs to go and fast! She enjoys eating pureed foods twice a day and loves finger foods- puffs, yogurt melts, and fresh bananas and strawberries. Her sweet smile brightens our days!
