Cuteness Overload

I may or may not have watched these videos a BAJILLION times......

 

Get ready for a CUTENESS OVERLOAD.

 

You're Welcome.

 

 

 

 

Happy Holidays JP & 11 months

With the Craziness of the Holidays, once again I'm going to jam a ton of stuff into one post....

 

Enjoy!!

 

What's new with JP:

 

In December, she got her first freckle on her back. JP & I named her freckle Agnes.

 

This is Agnes:

 

 

 

If you are wondering why we are naming a freckle...watch the movie Beaches (WARNING: BEFORE WATCHING grab an economy sized box of tissues).

 

JP has 2 teeth! In the teeth department, she's a bit on the slow side with only 2 teeth at 11 months. We are hoping the rest of them come in super quickly ASAP. Teething is not our idea of a party.

 

JP has started to shake her head "No" at us. This is AMAZING for a new parent!!! Our child is starting to communicate with us!!! Hooray! Except that sometimes when we say "No", she shakes her head, but um doesn't listen... Poor forbidden Grandpa's TV speakers! JP is SUPER in love with you...and continues on her quest to try to conquer you.

 

JP has been walking for awhile now, but now has progressed onto power walking and/or almost sprinting.

 

She's added several new words to her vocabulary: Nana, Hot, Cheese & Burp (hahahaa). Obviously, she LOVES all of these things....also amazing.

 

 

11 month pictures!!!

 

 

 

Sshhh the secret to getting JP to sit still is by playing the Elmo Song on You Tube.

 

JP thinks Elmo is AH- MAZE-ZING!

 

Which is good, because she got 3 Elmo dolls for Xmas. Courtesy of Nana & Grandma. ;)

 

 

 Speaking of XMAS......

 

Xmas was wonderful!!! We spent Xmas Eve with my family and Xmas Day with Steve's. We had a great time with both families and we feel so blessed to be surrounded with so much love and laughter. :) AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Anyschways...

 

Here's some awesome pictures:

Turkey Day

JP's first Thanksgiving was AWESOME!

Except for the fact that she didn't sleep much AT ALL the night before....
I think she was a little confused spending the night with us at Nana & Grandpa's house. 
Steve and I needed A LOT of caffeine on Thanksgiving...

 

BUT..

 

It was great fun visiting with everyone especially my brother Jon (Uncle Schmoo) who was home for the holiday (he lives in Charlotte ).

 

JP loves her Uncle Schmoo:

 

 

 

 

 

Turkey lurkey dee and turkey lurkey dat:

 

 

I eat that Turkey then I take a nap:

 

Then I watch OSU beat Michigan's a**:

 

 

Here's a special Thanksgiving message from JP to her Uncles Jarrod & Chris (aka stinky Michigan fans):

 



I LOVEEEEEEE TURKEY on Thanksgiving!!!

 

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!!

 

XO,

Krista

What is the Worst Thing You Ever Heard Your Mommy Say?

Heheheheeeeeeeeeeee LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Jimmy Kimmel you rascal you!!

SON-OF-A!!!!

I just realized I never posted JP's 9 month pictures on the blog!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome.

However, this might be why.

I checked and this is the only one....I found....

WOW....

These pictures are pretty bad.

 

So as you can see it is SUPER TOUGH to get good pictures of our little mobile lady.

 

This one was kinda better....

 

kinda...

 

 

 

The same day we also took this one as she was walking around a ton by then.

 

 

 

Ahhh Memories. Well at least they made it onto our Facebook pages back in October. Because nothing's offical until it's on Facebook right???!!!???

 

DANG---IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

UGH.

 

Where's the "World's Best Mom Award?" It TOTALLY belongs over here! NOT.

10 MONTHS!!

JP turned 10 months this week!!

OMG I cannot believe that she is only 2 months away from her first birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My little baby is growing up soo freakin fast! Sniff Sniff......

JP Updates:

Her first tooth came in officially on November 7th!! After months of teething we finally saw evidence of JP's first chomper. However one down....lots more to go! Crap.

JP waives "Hello" and "Bye-Bye" now.

JP hugs whatever she is holding when you say for example, "Juliet, do you love-y the lamb?" or "Juliet do you love-y Mommy?"

JP was a cutesy Lady Bug for Halloween. But, she was pretty miserable the entire night. Teething like terrible and was super depressed she couldn't Trick or Treat because the weather was horrendous!

JP LOVES to play Peek-A-Boo! Here's a cute video of her doing it crawling. It is also fun with a blankie (she hides behind).

And here's another cute video from this month:

Haha Banana Nose!

10 month pictures!

But can I just say taking pictures of JP now SOOOOOKS!!!

JP started walking at 8 months, so of course all she wants to do is walk, climb or crawl around. She HATES sitting still for pictures

So after a lot of this...

 

"GET BACK here KID!"
 

 

 We had to "drug" her with You Tube.

 

Oh You Tube how I love thee!!!

 

Here are some more of my Favorite pictures from this month:

 

 

 Babu (JP nickname) out at a fancy dinner with my family for my birthday (my birthday is 12/23 so we decided to celebrate early this year as my birthday SOOKS bc it is so close to XMAS).

Playing the "I'm supposed to go to bed right now Mom? BC I'm totally not going to!" Game:

 

 

Hanging at the Park with Grandma:

 

 

 Snuggling with her Cousins Megan & May.

Megan takes amazing care of Babu on Thursdays.

We LOVE her!!!

SUPER- MEGA-BABY-UPDATE MASHUP!!!!

So...last week I had planned several new blog posts because Juliet had hit 2 rather large milestones: crawling & her first steps! Each were so exciting that I felt they deserved separate blog posts. So I started some drafts and planned on finishing them before last Friday.

BUT THEN....

Juliet contracted a Rash that scared the be-jesus out of us, turned my focus elsewhere and surprisingly, the blog was not updated.

THEN..

We spent the entire weekend away from home and were super busy so alas the blog suffered again.

THEN....

During this time, Juliet continued to impress us with additional changes like waiving, clapping and enjoying her first meatball!

SO...

This post is now a (say this in your best WWE announcer voice)... 

 

SUPER-MEGA-BABY-UPDATE MASHUP!!!!

WOOOHOO!

Milestone Break-down:

"MRS. CRAWLEY"

Juliet crawled officially for the first time Sunday 9/29.

Please enjoy my extremely subtle Downton Abbey reference as I celebrate this momentous occasion:

 

 

 

"AH WON'T YA GIMME 3 STEPS MISTER"

 And, because Juliet is obviously a genius and a bit of a show-off....this is what she did at Grandma's house Monday 9/30:

 

 

 

JULIET WAIVES

Capturing this on photo or video is still alluding us. Our normally outgoing girl is being particularly shy regarding this issue and seems to know everytime I try to catch this on camera. But, trust me, it's happening....it's really happening.

 

 

JULIET CLAPS! 

To keep us on our toes, Juliet started clapping at KSU Homecoming over the weekend.

 HOLY SCHNIKES! I mean, of all places to start clapping????!!!

 

 

She's so freakin AWESOME!!!!!!

 

 

JULIET'S FIRST MEATBALL

 Again I have no photo (BOO KRISTA!). But, I can tell you it was SUPER AWESOME! I got home from spinning last night and was enjoying my delicious Skinnytaste Crock Pot Italian Turkey Meatballs on on the couch (I was being careful Mom!! ;) ). And Juliet, having already been fed pears and carrots by Daddy started to climb onto to me trying to attack my delicious dish. So I thought, "Well...she is 9 months next week and at 9 months she can have dairy and pretty much almost anything else..so why not? Let's see what happens..." and so I gave her a spoonful of meatball and ricotta.

WELL....of course she LOVED it! She's Italian!

 

This of course led to me Facetiming Nana and singing "On top of Spaghetti" to Juliet.

Because...why wouldn't you?

 

 

XO!!!

Krista

 

 

P.S. I found this...heheheheeee
