Eight Months Old!

Eight Months!

At Eight Months, Julianne...
Wears size 3 disposable diapers!
Models 6-9 month clothing...and finally fits into newborn and some 0-3 month shoes! She has teency toesies!! And she adorns precious bows and flowers of all colors :)
Loves crawling, pulling up, standing up, and walking with mommy and daddy!

She eats all baby food, but pears and spinach are her current favorite! She also drinks water fairly well from a sippy cup! 

She has TWO teeth!

Says MAMA!!!!!! Ohhhh....best feeling in the world! 

Feeds herself little puffs at snack time each day!
Adjusted so well to Mansfield and adores her big "sister," Marlee!

Loving having mommy home with her all day long! Wishing it didn't have to end...
Still has a full head of dark hair and brown green eyes!
Weighs a little over 17 lbs and is around 25.5" long...we think!!

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. 

From our family to yours....
