October

I guess I have officially become one of those "bloggers". If it didnt take me so long to upload photos and sit down and type...then maybe I would be a better blogger...i will work on it :)
What a FUN FALL we have had. So hard to believe tomorrow is the first day of November. And so hard to believe Julianne is 3 weeks away from being a year old. 1 entire year! I cannot belive we have had this precious miracle and blessing for an entire year. She is our everything!

Eleven months old Today!! Oct. 20



We went to Fall for Greenville with the Ingrams! So so thankful for these wonderful friends. They have truly been a blessing to our lives. Lael and Julianne are only 3 days apart :)





Columbia for Mark's Birthday: Oct. 29




Happy Halloween!
Jules and Lael


Cutest Giraffe I have ever seen...

C-L-E-M-S-OOOOO-N!

Its that time again...that time where I do not see my husband for 4 straight months! Ha! Football is here and we LOVE it! Julianne has now been to 2 Clemson football games! She claps her hands at the game and is such a cute little tiger. For those of you who do not know our love for CLemson...I will share. Mark and I met, dated, and then got married in Clemson. We actually had our rehearsal dinner in the presidents box at the stadium! All of Julianne's Clemson wardrobe comes from her sweet Dad ;)

It's Amazing

How fast babies change! So last week Julianne started standing all by herself. Not holding on to anything! She is a Pro at it now. I can just see the weeks ahead a little baby step :( Tear. My baby is going to be walking soon..and I think very soon. She might surprise us...and just enjoying the standing thing for a while...but I think a little step is on its way.
She has gotten so good at standing alone..that she now likes to bend down, grab a toy, stand back up and clap (all with toy in hand). She melts my little heart. I cannot get enough of her. When she goes to bed at night-i cannot wait to see her the next morning! Life really and truly does not get any sweeter than this!
Say a little prayer for us this week...tomorrow is her first day of "school". Excited/anxious/nervous for her (well more me)!

9 Months Old!

Congrats to Andrew. He's a Clemson Grad!


Her favorite thing, Standing!


Her least favorite thing, Teething!


Sorry to have been a little MIA the past month...life has just been crazy! We have moved back to Greenville (YIPPEEEEE) and are getting somewhat settled into our new home. I thought packing was tough with a baby. I think unpacking is even harder. Julianne's favorite thing to do is Stand up. That's all she wants to do. She will stand on anything and everything. My feet, my legs, dixie's head, all of her toys. Needless to stay with all of this standing comes lots of falling. So far, all of her "bumps" have gone away within 10 or so minutes.
Her latest is standing in her crib...and not napping. She thinks its so fun to stand and bang on the side of her crib...or eat the side of her crib :) She crawls, sometimes whenever there is something that she really wants to get to..she can, but her main focus right now is to Stand up.
Julianne will be starting at First Baptist's Infant-Toddler Program at the end of August and we are so excited about it! She will just go 2 days a week and I cannot tell you how excited I am for her...her first little friends, teachers, etc. It is a PHENOMENAL program and we are so blessed Julianne gets to be a part of it. She will be in the "Duck" class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Cannot wait to share more about it with you.

Summer Lovin' Happening SO fast...

Well, I feel like there has been so much going on this summer and I have not had time to post about it! Julianne has 2 teeth now! She is "almost" crawling. She will get in the crawl position and rock back and forth...so we know its coming soon. Her favorite word is "Ba" that is about all she says is ba ba ba ba ba and da da da da da. I am trying to teach her "Ma" but so far no sound of it.
She is eating and sleeping great. She LOVES sweet potatoes. We are still "trying" many foods, and of course knowing me...debbie dietitian...she is GOING to love ALL foods and not be a picky eater :) Hopefully! She eats squash, peas, carrots, prunes and sweet potatoes. She does not want ANYTHING to do with bananas or green beans. And will eat peaches, pears, and apples only if i "sneak" it in with other foods.
We are still living at the lake in Lavonia for the summer and hopefully will be moved into our new house by mid-July..fingers crossed on that one.
We have been to the beach twice this summer and Julianne loves it :)

Happy 4th of July!

Oh one of my most favortie holidays! We broke the family tradition of always going to the lake and decided to go to Charleston!! We went to the beach, played at the pool, and watched fireworks. Most of which were firsts for Julianne! We stayed with our best friends, Dave and Alice Senetelle :)

Happy 6 Months!

I really can't believe it has been 6 months since the birth of Julianne. She is now sitting up, "talking", grabbing at EVERYTHING and sticking it in her mouth :)
