Juliette eats!

Juliette is on her way to eating table food! We started her on rice cereal for the first time today and she did really well! Of course Abbey needed to be involved too!

Big girl...

Abbey has been learning a ton lately so I just thought I would update you on her progress. She is not quite 18 months yet, but is now saying sentences. On vacation, she started saying things like "I did it" or "I see it" or "I got it", but her first sentence was in resonse to a question. Aunt Theresa asked her what she spilled, to which she responded "Um, um, um, I spilled milk." I was impressed that not only did she say her first sentence, but she answered the question correctly in the form of a sentence! Also, she can sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, her ABC's, and Baa Baa Black Sheep. We also discovered that she can count to 7. I wonder what else she already knows that we have yet to discover!

Abbey and Libby

While we were in TN, Abbey fell in love with Aunt Theresa's great dane Libby. She pointed to her all the time and said her name and always wanted to pet her. We finally caught some of the love on camera. Libby is a big dog...big enough for Abbey to ride...

Or use as a pillow...

Or just cuddle with...

Family Time

One of the best parts about Christmas is spending time with family and we got the chance to do just that! Here are Abbey and Caroline...

Juliette's 1st Christmas!

Seeing as this was Juliette's 1st Christmas, I thought she deserved her own special post to show how much fun she had! This was a big week for her - her first road trip to get there, her first vacation and spending more than one night away from home, her first cold (she weathered it very well), and of course her first Christmas! Just a few cute pictures of her throughout the week enjoying her time.
