Wow, this has been a busy year. I cannot believe the baby turned one already. It seems like time flew by. It feels like I just had her and Sept. 29th was already one year that she has been in our lives. She is the most amazing girl in the world. She has been taking steps and has been saying so much lately.

She had her one year appointment at the doctor’s on Thursday. He stated that we are doing and excellent job with her. She is already 31 inches long, 23.2 pounds and has a 19 inch head circumference. She is going to be tall like daddy. She had a nice time at the Bloomsburg Fair with Grammy and Cioci Becky. She also had a good time when we had gone to the fair on Thursday.

This weekend is her party and we have been getting the preparations done. I cannot wait to see her interacting with family and friends. I will definitely have Jason posting lots of pictures. Well, hope to post more, but now with her walking, she keeps us on our toes. I will do my best to post more, but like now, I usually have to wait until she is asleep. She’s been sleeping for a while, but I try to pick up around the house until the next day.

Yesterday was Juliana’s first trip to Knoebels. She seemed to have a wonderful time. She was laughing and smiling practically the entire day. Many people at the park commented on how adorable and cute she was as she laughed and smiled away. I was worried that she may not be able to make it to the end, but she surprised me. Jason was wonderful hanging out with her so I was able to ride some of the rides with the older siblings.

Since she is still quite small, we were only able to take her on two rides. She rode on my lap while daddy drove the antique cars. Then daddy held her on the train ride. She enjoyed the woods and even smiled at seeing the squirrels eating the corn. She had so much excitement that she only had one 20 minute nap all day. She enjoyed all of the lights as the park got darker. I cannot wait until she can hopefully go on many more rides next year.

I hope to have Jason put some pictures on here over the next few days. I will hopefully post more soon. We will be going to a wedding this weekend and maybe we can get more pictures from then as well. Until then, happy reading.

Well today Juliana turned 10 months old. It is amazing that so much time has passed. She has grown so much in these past few months. She has been crawling for quite some time now, but she is starting to get up on her hands and knees. Before she would tummy crawl like a little soldier. She now has six teeth.

I love spending time with her when we come home from work. She loves driving in her little jeep. We call her crash now. She enjoys crashing into everything and then backing up as to get away from the scene. Lol. It is the cutest thing. We are starting to think of ideas and such for when she turns 1 because it will be here before we know it.

We are hoping to go to Knoebels over the next few weeks. I think she will enjoy it because she is such a dare-devil, but I am thinknig she may go on the merry-go-round and train. That is all mommy can see her going on. I hope to have pictures or video when we get there and hopefully we can post them on here.

Well, just wanted to make a quick post to keep brief updates on the newest things going on with Juliana. Hope to post again soon. She keeps us so busy, that it may be some time before we post.

Well there have been a few new firsts over the last few days. The first new item is that the baby finally went out of state. We went on vacation to Maryland for a few days. She did excellent. We kind of timed it so that she ate and then she didn’t need to eat until we got down to the hotel. Once we got there, she had another first. It was the first time in a swimming pool. I was hoping she would do well. As soon as we got in, I thought she may cry, but she started kicking her feet and splashing around. Once the water hit her face, she laughed. Abby was giving her rooster hair and it looked so cute. She did great sleeping there as well. I woke up at 5am the one morning and she got up, looked at me and smiled. Then I look over again and she had taken the binky and put it in her mouth and put herself back to sleep after a minute or so.

Today was another first. She turned 6 months over the weekend and since we were away, I did not want to start her on vegetables until we got back. Well, today she had her first taste of squash. She was not too happy with it. She will hopefully enjoy the taste of other things much better. I know she will only have one type of vegetable for 3 days then I can move on to the next one. Once the vegetables are done, then we go to the fruits. It will be a little bit before we can get her on the meats.

Well, hopefully there will be more good things to post in the coming months. I hope that Jason can add some photos of the trip and such. Well, I am going to spend some quality time with the family and hope to post again soon. Enjoy the reading and feel free to comment if you wish.

Well, today I had taken the baby to my co-worker’s shower. There were 3 babies there. They were all less than 2 weeks apart. It was quite cool to see them interact. Well, we had a wonderful time at Nicole’s shower. While I was there, Juliana pulled my finger to her mouth and all I feel is a little tooth poking through her gums. I was shocked. I thought she would be fussy and crying while they would come in.

She is just so amazing. Juliana makes me smile when I see her so happy and interacting with everyone. I am always told how lucky and blessed we are to have such a happy baby. I am truly blessed. We love her so much. I wanted to make a quick post to inform all of the good news. I am hoping to post more frequently. I will hopefully have some great things to post in the next few weeks.  Until then, enjoy the post.

It’s been a while since I have posted anything on here.  Mainly because I just have no time.  I work 80 or more hours every week and when I am home I just want to relax, besides working.  I shot this video earlier today, and felt that it was time I added some more information to the babys site.  I also know that most of you would like to see her as well.  So here it is.

I can’t believe it has been over a month since I have posted. Things have gotten so hectic since going back to work. Between the normal routine and the older kids having sports, I never seem to have time to do much. I work and then want to spend time with the baby afterwards.

It amazes me she is already 4 months old. Juliana has been so happy. She still sleeps through the night. She has been smiling and even has been laughing more and more each day. She has been growing so fast. I had taken her for her check up and shots last week. She is already 15 pounds and 5 ounces. She is now 25 inches long. The nurse said she will probably be tall. I guess she will take after daddy.

Well, hopefully I can get Jason to post more pictures on here so everyone can see her growing so fast. I will do my best to keep updating this more frequently. Hopefully everyone enjoys the post. 

Well, the baby made it through her first New Year’s Eve. We were just here at the house and some family came over. We were here playing cards and talking. Juliana was doing quite well. She took a little cat nap and was up in time to see the New Year. After everyone left we went up to bed and she promptly fell back to sleep and didn’t wake up until about 9:15 this morning.

I am so lucky to have her in my life. She is such a good and happy baby. I have to go back to work and my dad will be watching her for a bit before we have to put her in daycare. I really don’t want to go back and miss seeing her throughout the day. We have our little routine and I will miss that. I know we will start making new routines, but I still wish I could be here with her to see the amazing things she does and surprises me with throughout the days.

I know I may be partial, but I think she is the smartest and most beautiful baby. She is always happy and it was so cute. Two nights ago she would mimic me laughing. I thought it was the cutest and sweetest little thing. She just amazes me. She has been eating more and we added cereal as well, so she can be full and content. I hope this is going to be a wonderful and exciting year for her.

Happy New Year to all and we will post more this year with all of the amazing things that will happen this upcoming year. Happy reading and comment away if you wish.

Well, the baby had her first Christmas. She seemed to have a good time visiting with family. She enjoyed her gifts, but next year may be a little better since she will know how to rip off the paper. Juliana looked so pretty in her outfits. She was so adorable. All the relatives cannot believe how big she is getting.

She has been growing quite quickly. She is now 3 months old and we have started her on a bit of rice cereal in her bottles. We increased her bottle size as well. It will be kind of sad that I have to go back to work. I don’t want to leave her. We have to see if my dad is going to watch her or if we will start daycare right off the bat. Jason will have to put some pictures on here.

Well, the baby is awake so I must go. Hope to post again soon. Enjoy for now.

Well, we ended up not going to NJ. The wedding ended up being canceled. I don’t know when it is being rescheduled. We ended up going to get some things for the kids. Juliana got a few outfits and Jason and Janeen got shoes for basketball.

Things have been busy lately. Today is Juliana’s first Thanksgiving Day. I made one turkey last night and another one this morning. We straightened up a bit before everyone came. Everyone was here and they all seemed to have a good time. We had lots of food, good conversation and also some movies, games and computer streaming over the tv.

Juliana has been quite alert today. My dad and sister were enjoying her. My mom got to feed her as well. She seemed to get pooped out now. I am holding her while typing this and she is sleeping away. The other kids here enjoyed holding her a bit.

I am so thankful she is here and happy and healthy. I am grateful for my family and having everyone in my life. I hope Jason will be able to get sleep and will have a pretty good day tomorrow at work. His back has been hurting a lot more lately.

Well, the dishes are done and family is here relaxing. I am going to see if I can do the same. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
