Julianne is One Year Old!!

At Twelve Months, Julianne...
Wears size 3 disposable diapers!
Models 6-9 month and 12 month clothing! She is getting to be really fit from all her activity! And she finally fits into size 2 shoes!
Loves walking!! She looks precious when she walks into our arms with her arms spread open wide! 

She eats what mommy and daddy eat and LOVES just about everything!! 

She has SIX teeth!!!! 

Says MAMA, Poppa, Bah, Buh bye, and Baby!! 

Still has a full head of dark hair and brown eyes!
Weighs 19.12 lbs and is 27.5" long!!

It is incredibly hard to believe that our baby girl has turned one year old! This year has transformed our lives in so many unimaginable ways. Julianne has brought us so much joy and sincere wonder that I can't imagine how we EVER lived without that little bundle of sunshine. She truly lights up our life every day. At night, we fall asleep and often say how we already miss her! In the morning, we race to be the first to wake her up! She has created smiles within us that we didn't even know existed. I truly do praise God for her every day. 

Julianne's birthday party was a total success!! The theme was "All that glitters is gold! Julianne is turning one year old!!" Everyone had so much fun, and Julianne was spoiled to a T!! 

On her birthday, Brian and I both had the day off! We took J to the doctor, which was probably the worst part of the day (shots are never ever fun!). 

Then, we went to Chick-Fil-A for breakfast! Julianne loves chicken minis! 

Next, we want to the movies to see Frozen!! It was soooo sweet! We made it through an hour and 20 minutes before Julianne got too restless and wanted to go!

Finally, we went to the park to play on the slides!! 

It was absolutely the most perfect day for the most perfect daughter!! It ended with a good snooze in mommy's arms!

I love this sweet angel so much that it hurts, and while it kills me to believe that she's 1 year old, I cannot wait to see her grow into the beautiful young woman I know she will be! 

Thanks for following us over the year! It has been fun and one we won't ever forget!

 

We love you, Julianne....big as the sky!

As always, our lives have been running 100 miles per hour. Brian is working so hard at school, and we are both looking forward to May when he graduates. 7 years of straight school can wear on you quickly. He also played intramural flag football, and they made it to the semi championship game!! It was a fun last ride. He's playing volleyball now and is enjoying it, as always!!

I've been juggling quite a bit lately. I'm teaching 2 preps this year, handling all of the fundraising for cheer, and I just began my last class for my graduate degree. I will graduate in December with my masters - praise The Lord!! I need a break!

Julianne has been an active, fun loving, and talkative little girl. We are enjoying every moment...just wishing we could hold her this way forever. We are so lucky to have such a sweet baby, and we thank  God that she was given to us. 

Julianne is being such a strong baby while mommy and daddy go to work and school. We hate leaving her...and I'm pretty sure she doesn't like it either! My mom and mother-in-law keep her throughout the day, and she even stays with her best cousin, Hunter, every now and then! We're lucky to be surrounded by such love. 

We've been to two first birthday parties (Happy birthday Ethan and Atley!), the pumpkin patch, a first homecoming (go Cats!), a first PARADE (go Rams!), and much much more!! Julianne's 11th month has been a good one. I can't believe this is my second to last post for the year....my sweet angel is getting too big. I love her more every day, and knowing that God has such good things planned for her makes watching her grow up so sweet. I'm holding her in my arms right now as she snoozes herself to sleep....gazing at those sweet eyes makes me melt. I just LOVE these moments! 

Julianne, we love you more than you could ever know. Having you as a daughter is an honor and a joy. You'll always be our baby girl. Much love, sweetheart.

I had to post it - LOOK AT THAT PONY TAIL!

At Ten Months, Julianne...
Wears size 3 disposable diapers!
Models 3-6 and some 6-9 month clothing  (YES! She's gone down in size).  She is getting to be really fit from all her activity! And she finally fits into some 0-3 month shoes - her cute little feet are finally covered!
Loves patting glass windows, pulling up, standing up, and walking with her pusher! She stands up alone...until she realizes she IS...and quickly sits back down!

She eats baby food 3 times a day, and she LOVES to eat off of mommy and daddy's plates, too!

She has FOURRRRR teeth - that's two more than last month! She has the bottom two and the top two!

Feeds herself anything you will let her eat - she LOVES steak, turkey, all veggies, fruits, and bread.

This month has put us into a very strict routine.  Here's what Julianne and I do on a daily basis:

5:55 am - Wake up, put on makeup, fix my hair, get dressed....and my sweet hubby brings me coffee and a smoothie at my vanity :)

6:45 am - Wake up Julianne, nurse her, and kiss her goodbye :(

7:05-7:10 am - Head to Work

7:35 am - Brian takes Julianne to the sitter

7:50 am - The first bell rings!

8:00 am - Julianne eats Breakfast!

9:00 am - Julianne takes a nap

11:15 am - Julianne eats LUNCH!

12:37 pm - Lunch bell rings, I RUN (literally...it's a sight) to my car, rush to the sitter, jump out of my car, plop into a chair, feed Julianne while eating a sandwich and some chips, put myself together, kiss Julianne goodbye, and head back to work

1:37 pm - 6th Period bell rings!

3:15 pm - Julianne feeds herself a snack

4:00 pm - Rush to the sitter...hold my baby for a few minutes, feed her, pack up Julianne, head home, and FINALLY....relax.

6:45 pm - Julianne eats DINNER!

8:00 pm - Bath time

8:30 pm - Bedtime routine...feed Julianne again...put her down

8:50 pm - Start grading, lesson planning, sometimes eating DINNER, showering, and cleaning the house....

It's a long day, but I LOVE being able to see my baby girl throughout the work day.  It makes it so much easier to know that I will get to see her from time to time.  Brian is JUST as busy with school and work, and we both do all we can to give her all our attention while she is awake.  We have barely had any time to sit down this month, but we figure that's why God gave Julianne to us while we are young - we can take it!

This month, Julianne, Brian, and I went to the ASU game at The Dallas Cowboys Stadium (or is it AT&T stadium now?....eek!).  It was SO much fun, and we had a great time cheering on the Rams from field level. We are so blessed to be a part of the alumni of Angelo State, and we will always bleed blue and gold.  Brian has the privilege of serving on the ASU Alumni Board of Directors this year, and we are enjoying all that comes with that honor.  

My cheerleaders are in full swing perfecting their nationals routine and preparing for games each week.  We are having a blast together, and I am reminded why God has placed me to be a teacher and a coach at this point in my life....as difficult as it may be.  Those precious girls light up my life and make me smile every day - I'll be forever grateful for their kind hearts!  

Guess what we are doing already?!?! PLANNING A FIRST YEAR BIRTHDAY PARTY! I can't handle the thought, but making decorations for my gorgeous angel is so much fun - I AM LOVING IT!!! I already look forward to the day when we are planning her wedding......although, I can wait....at least 25 years!! We are so excited for all that we have going on this next month - may it fly by so that Christmas comes soon!

We love you all - thank you for always being supportive and for helping Brian, Julianne, and me become all we want to be.

This month has been very busy with a TON of changes. We moved back from Mansfield and began our second big move of the summer! That's right...we are selling our house!!! We've moved into our new house, and when I say moved...I mean we sleep here, and we eat on paper plates. Yay! It's been an adventure for sure. 

Just a few days after getting home from Mansfield, I loaded little girl up with my mom, and we headed to New Braunfels for an AP training. Did I mention I'm teaching two subjects this year? I am now teaching English IV and English II Pre AP. whew! Little girl was a doll in the hotel and handled it like a champ. 

Since being back, I have been at work full time. As always, it is a depressing feeling to leave my angel, but the smiles and laughs I get when I return let me know that she still loves me! I hope I'm making her proud. 

Brian is doing well! He finished his clinical rotation and aced it...of course! He had his LAST first day of school yesterday....EVER!!! We can't wait for May -- graduation is so close!! 

We had a bittersweet month...already counting the days until Christmas. Only....we have a 1st year birthday to celebrate before then, and I just don't know if I'm ready for that!! Eek!

This month has been a ride for Julianne! We have been all over the metroplex...including getting lost...twice! We have been to the zoo and more!

Julianne took her first family vacation with PPatti, PPaw, MoMo, Lenny, mommy, daddy, and HUNTER to Great Wolf Lodge! Boy did she love it!! She is totally a water baby. She laughed and splashed and played for four hours straight in the water - we were pooped! It was such a great time, full of memories and keepsakes to forever treasure. 

On Brian's 25th birthday last weekend, my parents came up, and we went to the Fort Worth zoo! It was a blast and definitely worth the trip - we had a great time. 

We have been shopping just about everywhere, and I'm pretty sure Julianne has become a bonafied city girl! We have truly enjoyed it here. This week, we will celebrate my birthday and enjoy every waking second we have with each other because school will begin this next month, and all 3 of us just hate it for me and for Julianne. We are ready for the day when I don't have to work. 

We are very sad about leaving our temporary home in Mansfield, especially the people we have been staying with for the last few weeks. Marlee has been a perfect match for J and has been such a good helper and babysitter, and Laura and Craig have been very kind and welcoming to us in every way. We're sad to leave but anxious to get back to our real home. We miss our families a lot!

Another fun month in the books for us - watching Julianne crawl, feed herself, and grow up is a joy and a blessing. We feel so lucky to have such a precious bundle. Love you, sweet girl.

This month has been the BIGGEST for Julianne. She has been one busy busy girl! First, she was the most precious flower girl for her Auntie Sarah and Uncle Sam on June 8th. Julianne modeled a precious tulle dress that made mommy and daddy swoon! She was sooooo good throughout the entire wedding and never made a peep!

Then, about 4 days later, Julianne and I moved to Mansfield, TX to be with Brian during his clinical rotation for PT school. We have enjoyed our time in Mansfield. We love the nearby parks, shopping, the aquarium in Dallas, and of course, the family time. 

On June 16th, Brian celebrated his first Father's Day!! We had a great day together golfing and being a family. Julianne and I are so very blessed to have Brian in our lives. He makes us both feel so special, and we love him more than he knows!

Then, on June 26th, Julianne got a brand new cousin!! Hunter Leonard Christo was born to my sister and her husband, and we were able to be in Angelo for his birth! It was a great day and was the beginning of many memories together!

This month has been one to remember, and I won't ever forget all we have done and the memories we have made. I am so glad to be able to stay home with Julianne this summer. I am getting way too spoiled and don't like to think about August! 

In the meantime, I will just enjoy every little moment I get with this precious baby girl! Happy 7 months, sweetheart!

We have had a great month with our girl! We have had many firsts and some wonderful memories!

The most incredible moment was waking up on Mother's Day, knowing that I had the privilege to raise such an incredible daughter. We had a wonderful Mother's Day. Brian and Julianne brought me breakfast in bed, and later in the day, Brian took a photoshoot of Julianne and me! It was just perfect. 

This month, we have also taken Julianne to her first pool! She looked absolutely PRECIOUS in her bathing suit! We have hung out outside almost every weekend this month and just took some special time to be a family. In four days, I will be off from work for the summer! Finally, some girl time with my sweetie!

At the end of this week, Brian moves to Fort Worth for his second residency. Julianne and I will follow him the next week after cheer camp and Sarah and Sam's wedding. 

We are also trying desperately to pack up our house because we are moving houses this summer. We will put ours on the market and try to sell it while we are in Fort Worth. What have we gotten ourselves into!?! We aren't quite sure how it all will play out, but we are ready for it...whatever the future holds, we will take!!

The most incredible moment of this month happened yesterday, May 26th. Brian and I, along with our families and Julianne's godparents, dedicated Julianne to the church and to raising her to be a woman of God. It was a magical moment to hold her in our arms, dressed in pure white, knowing that we will see her like that again someday...

Tears of joy rolled down my face as I prayed over her sweet, innocent head. She is a blessing from The Lord, and we give Him all the praise and thanksgiving. We couldn't ask for a better gift, and we are humbled by His grace and His trust in giving us one of His most beautiful creations. I have attached a photo of her in her white gown and handmade head piece. I hope one day to use the head piece in her wedding...gosh, what a day it will be!

I've said it before, but I will say it again...Praise God for this little girl!

This month has been a tough one! We love our sweet girl so much, but we are having a hard time balancing all we have going on. Working, going to school, coaching cheer, planning parties, and trying to be the best parents we can be has left Brian and I utterly exhausted! We are in need of some good naps!

We wouldn't trade any of it for the world. Julianne completes our lives so very much, and we couldn't imagine being without her. We are so thankful for what God worked in our lives for us to be able to have her. She is incredible.

We are greatly looking forward to next month because by the end, we will be done with work and school and on to our great adventure in Fort Worth. We have a ton to look forward to this summer. We will become aunt and uncle sometime in June! And we will have another brother on June 8th. This year has been so good to us, and we just know it will only get better from here.

Until then, we will keep enjoying each smile, laugh, twinkle, hug, and slobbery kiss from our precious angel. Praise God for children.

We have had a big month here in the Holik house!! Julianne is slowly finding her laugh, learning to sit up completely on her own, and grasping and holding things like a champ! It has been such a joy to watch her grow and see her little eager eyes wonder. I just love her with all my heart.

My parents moved houses, and we have been busily trying to make their house look and feel like home. The best part is...they are only down the road now! It is so nice to have an extra hand so close! Julianne and I stayed the weekend there because Brian went to compete in the PT Olympics in San Antonio. He did great, surprise surprise!, in all of his events. But goodness! We were glad to have him home!!

We found a place to stay in Fort Worth, which is so nice and comforting. This summer will be a challenge, no doubt, but we are ready to see what The Lord has in store for us.

Julianne had a great spring break and was spoiled to a T having mommy and daddy at her every beckon call! She was so precious, and we quickly realized what we were missing. It is always hard to go to work and leave Julianne in the morning, but spring break made it much worse. What a tease!!

We're looking forward to Julianne's first Easter!! It should be a fun one. In the meantime, I'll be grading papers, preparing lessons, planning a lingerie party, a baby shower, and a bridesmaid luncheon. Brian will be studying and tutoring. Oh yeah! And we will be a little busy being first time parents...yeah...that, too. Oh how our lives have changed in a year.

On April 1st last year, I found out I was pregnant. Can't believe how quickly this journey has flown. It has been, by far, the most rewarding, humbling, and loving experience we have ever had. Still praising God for all He has given to us. I don't know how we could ever repay Him.

Blessings to you!

What a fun month we have to look forward to!

Brian and I have been super busy with school and work, and we have been relying a lot on our great friends and family to fill in the gaps. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful family support!

After a lot of prayer and thought, Brian and I asked our best friends, Zach and Makensie McCormick, to be Julianne's godparents. They have been so wonderful to Julianne, and she adores them, too! We can't wait to see what Julianne's life has ahead of her, and we know with Zach and Kens by our side, she will be raised to be an incredible young woman of God.

Spring break is right around the corner (7 days and counting!), and we are pondering taking our first big family vacation! I will be holding Cheerleading tryouts on the 8th, so I have a lot between now and then, but gosh...I'm looking forward to it!

Brian has confirmed a clinical site for this summer, and we will be moving to Fort Worth on June 2nd for 10 weeks! I am so proud of him and excited to see all he learns at Ben Hogan Sports Therapy institute! Fort Worth is a long way from home, but we are eager to see what The Lord holds for us there.

God has been so good to us, and Julianne continues to amaze us every day. We fall in love with her more and more as she grows. Thank you, Jesus, for such a precious precious gift!

It is so hard to say goodbye to my sweet baby girl every day, but I know God has placed me in this job, and I am working hard to make Him, Brian, and Julianne proud! I am so thankful for my mom and mother-in-law for taking care of my precious angel while I am away from her.

Julianne also had her first two big road trips this month! We celebrated with Mr. and Mrs. Garrett Davidson as they joined together in marriage in Odessa, Texas! It was a great trip, and Julianne was a hit!
Then, we traveled to Dallas, Texas for Julianne's first cheerleading competition. My Central Bobcat cheerleaders competed at the NCA National Cheerleading competition, and Julianne wore her first cheer uniform - I was beaming with pride :) Julianne loved the hotel and was the cutest little thing!!

Julianne also experienced her first snow! What a wonderful month it has been watching Julianne grow! We love her more and more each day. Praise God for children. We thank Him each and every day. Can't wait for the months ahead...

From our family to yours,

Our Little Model

In all the rush of the holidays, toys, diapers, feelings, and going back to work, I haven't had much time to post! Our baby girl is absolutely perfect and doing just incredibly well! I have a lot to post about her, but what I need to show off more than anything is her newborn photos! We have had these pictures back for a few weeks, and I catch myself constantly staring at them. I don't know how God made such a gorgeous girl!!

Annette at Great Expectations did an incredible job again...she makes us all look so good! Because we find Julianne to be too precious for words, we are still keeping her photos off of Facebook. However, since we know all of you are our friends and family, we don't mind showing her off on here at all!!

Without further ado...take a peek at our little model!
