I Can't Believe It, But She's 4 Months Old!!

Four Months!

Love that Laugh

When She is This Cute, It's Hard To Pick Just One!

At Four Months, Julianne...
Wears size 1 disposable and cloth diapers!
Models 0-3 month clothing...STILL doesn't fit into newborn shoes! She is a teency tiny little foot model! And she adorns precious bows of all colors :)
Loves sitting up in her Bumbo and reaching for her toys, laying on her tummy and pushing up, playing the piano on her Kick N Play mat, sitting and laughing at mommy and daddy!
Has figured out that she has HANDS!! She loves staring at them!! She's also doing a great job at holding her bottle while mommy is at work!
Adores bath time, going outside, watching Disney Channel (specifically Doc Mcstuffins, Jake and the Never Land Pirates, and Micky Mouse Clubhouse), and shopping with her mommy!
Can roll over from her tummy to her back over and over!
Lifts her head up and has full head control! She also sits up by herself for 5-10 seconds at a time!!
Loves standing up!!
Sleeps 10 hours straight at night!
Misses mommy and daddy during the day, but is super strong when they're gone!
Still has a full head of dark hair and blue green eyes!
Weighs a little over 13 lbs and is around 22.5" long!

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!
From our family to yours...
