Happy 6 months Julianne



Our little angel is now six months old! I can't believe it. We are so blessed to have her. If I had to describe her in one word it would be "delightful." She has the cheeriest disposition and is simply sweet.
I know that I've mentioned how beautiful her smile is, but I just can't get enough of it! She'll lock eye contact, give the biggest smile, and just keep staring and smiling at you without looking away. I get so giddy when she wakes up, knowing that when I go to her crib she'll greet me with that smile.





We started feeding her solid foods about a month ago and she is doing really well. At the begining she didn't quite know what to think and didn't really enjoy the texture, but luckily she outgrew that and is a great eater.
She is still a wonderful sleeper at night. She'll go down around 7 and wake up around 7. She takes about 2 1/2 naps. One in the morning, one after lunch and a short little cap nap in the evening. I wish I knew how much she weighed but we don't go to her well visit for another few weeks.



Her best friend is her sister. She loves Brinley! In fact sometimes when her and Brinley's naps don't line up and I have Julianne alone without Brinley, I think Julianne gets bored. She is so used to having Brinley entertain her. Mom is no where near as interesting as Brinley is. It's been really fun to watch their little friendship develop.


If you look close you can see Julianne's arm around Brinley. Brinley was trying to teach her the ABC's.

We love, love, love you Julianne! Thank you for making our family so wonderful.

Fall Fun

We sure do love the fall around here! We've been soaking up the crisp sunny weather while it lasts. It'll definitely be one of the things we'll miss most when we leave the east coast.

Everyday I try to take the girls on a walk in the stroller. They love it and so do I, but I think miss Juilanne is the biggest fan.


A few weeks ago Brinley and I decided to have dinner outside together! I think we need to do that more often. It was a ton of fun.





This past weekend we had an extra great time because our Aunt Geri came to visit! We love it when she comes! The girls just love her.
Brinley loves it becuase she gets played with non stop!


Aunt Geri brought these cute jammies from Grandma Carole. She loves them. Thanks Grandma!
We took Aunt Geri to Amish country and they had a special petting zoo set up! Brinley was in heaven because she got to feed the animals. It was so entertaining to watch!


After Amish country we headed to Hershey to take a tour of the chocolate factory. Greg and I have been there several times, but haven't ever taken Brinley. The tour is a cute little ride with singing cows and Brinley loved it!





And no trip from Aunt Geri would be complete without her making us yummy pumpkin sugar cookies! Thanks Aunt Geri for the visit!
