4 Months Baby!!

Saturday 5/18 marked Juliet's 4 month birthday!

Can you believe it's been 4 months already????

SCH-NIKES! That went fast!

We spent Saturday at our good friend Stacey's Bridal Shower with Juliet's Godmomma-to-be, our awesome friend Susan.:)

Here is Juliet with Stacey and her fiance Jesse. Sooooo cute eh? :)

Their wedding is 6/15/13!! WOOHOOO! Congrats guys!


4 month updates:

Juliet has been doing very well. She had her 4 month checkup this week and here are the stats:

Weight: 14lbs 75% for weight

Height: 25inches!! 90% for height!!!

AND............. the Doc said her eyes are going to stay blue!!!! I'm so glad she got her Daddy's gorgeous eyes!!!


She has been sitting up like a pro and can "almost" sit up on her own.

Here's a video of her trying.

It's adorbs. :)

We're so proud of our strong girl!!!


Love to my blog peeps.

3 month photo shoot!

Here are some photos from Juliet's 3 month photo shoot!

 

All photos by Bella Mi Photography.

 

Cyndi at Bella Mi does an AMAZING job, we love her!

 

 

Apparently Juliet (JP for short...Juliet Patricia) was her star model because Cyndi told us that most 3 month olds are not able to sit up (while supported) or smile and our little girl could do both!!! What??? AWESOME. lol

Beautiful outfit from our good friends Matt & Kristen :)

 

 



 

 

 

 This gorgeous romper and custom hair piece was made by Shannon at Skylarroos. :)

 

Doesn't it look wonderful??

 

 

 

 

 

She looks good in Mommy's jewelry...

 

 

 

 

This is AMAZING! I have no words!!!

 

 

 

(The red hair bow is also by Shannon at Skylarroos which she hooked us up with at the last minute!! :) :) )

 

Ok I lied...I have some words...

I got the idea for this shoot after Steve & I purchased JP this Snow White outfit on sale and due to my obsession with Once Upon A Time....

 

 

I think this is completely A-freakin-MAZING!!!

Mother's Day and Man Labor

What if MEN went through labor?

 

 

 

I'd like to give this doctor a freakin GIANT hug!

 

 

Did that hurt a bit guys? Try pitocin!! LOL


Just another great reason for telling your Mom how awesome she is.

 

 

 

My favorite picture of my Mommy & Me:

 

 

 

 

This year I got to re-create it with my gorgeous Peanut:

 

 

 

Happy be-lated Mother's Day Everyone!!!!

 

 

Back to Work

That time that I went back to work.

 

I went back to work on April 2nd.

 

 

I walked into my office to find...

 

 

 

 

Whoa.

 

Aren't my co-workers FREAKIN AMAZING?

 

 

I love them to pieces and I'm NEVER taking these amazing banners down!!

 

 

What I thought-Coming Back to Work:

I'm not going to lie, I had mixed feelings about it.

I mean LOVE my job and the people I work with, but how much was I going to miss my Peanut?

What milestones won't I see when I'm not with her 24/7?

Will she become more attached to her babysitters than me?
 
Was it bad that I was excited about the following...?

 

• Returning to adult conversations
• Lunch dates with my downtown buddies
• Being able to work out on my lunch break
• GOODBYE Poptart meals!!!!

  
  

 

Needless to say, there was lots of shenanigans going on in my head.

 

 

What actually happened-Coming Back to Work:

 

It was much easier than I thought....

 

WHAT?!!?

 

 

 

I returned to my daily routines I couldn't stick to with a newborn.(Which has helped my weight loss, kept us away from the fast food (mostly...ish lol) and kept me sane)

 

My job is fun and it gives me a feeling of accomplishment which is important for self-awesome-ness.

 

Juliet started sleeping through the night the week I went back. (Thank you baby you're so dang awesome!)

 

When we wake her up in the morning she giggles and smiles at us like we are her favorite people in the world. (So I am pretty sure Steve & I are her favorites..I think ;) LOL)

 

Morning Smiles:

 

 

 

 

When she gets home at night she also plays and giggles away...

 

Here she is being a "Chatty Kathy" on Monday night:

 

 

 

So for the most part things have been pretty awesome.

 

But.....

 

Here's the part that sucks..........

 

 

Juliet rolled over on April 23rd.

 

 

And....

 

 

We STILL haven't seen it yet!!

 

 

Which makes me feel like zis:

 

 

 

That part of being working parents really does SUCK.

 

 

It makes me realize that there may be many more milestones we are going to miss. :(  

 

And, unfortunately us working parents can't get those moments back.

 

But, if anyone is going to see it instead of me, I'm glad it's Grandma Beyer (Steve's Mom) who has Juliet 99% of the time (Because she is SUPER AWESOME!!!).

 

Plus she's trying her best to capture these moments for us on video.

 

 

Baby, just DON'T say your first word unless Mommy's there ok? PROMISE???

 

 

CROSSIES that is doesn't go down that way!

 

 

Overall, heading back to work has been a good thing. But I miss my little lady every day and REALLY miss seeing those milestones.

 

 

Love to my blog peeps,
