Juliet: 2 months

This post is pretty late.  It should really read "Juliet: 2 1/2 months."
I seriously don't know where the time goes!  Every single day feels like the longest and shortest day of my life.

So, what is Miss Juliet up to these days?

Smiling and talking.  All the time.  I love it. :)

 

Enjoying more awake time. 

Every day, mommy and I spend time looking in the mirror.  She is teaching me what all the parts of my face are called.

Every morning, while mommy and daddy get ready for the day, and every night, while mommy makes dinner, I get to talk to my friends in the pack-n-play.

I really like tummy time the best.  My arm, neck, and back muscles are getting super strong!

Juliet enjoys being read to.  We are currently working our way through Little Women.

My girl also loves listening to music.  My Pandora station is always on Disney now.  (Who am I kidding?  It was always on Disney anyway ;)

I am also trying to teach Juliet responsibility.  Every morning, we get dressed for the day and put away our pajamas; and every night when we put our pajamas back on, our dirty clothes go in the hamper.  Every time she finishes a bottle, she comes with me to the kitchen to put it in the sink.  Each time we have a diaper change, she learns that we must throw it away. 

Every morning, Juliet and mommy have devotions together.  Right now, that only consists of singing "This is the Day," reciting I Corinthians 10:31, and praying together.  Each night, Lester and I sing "Jesus Loves Me" and pray with her.  Lester and I want, most of all, to show Juliet our love for God and the importance of our relationship with Him. 

Juliet and I are finally starting to develop a routine to each day, getting to the point where we both know what to expect.  Every once in a while, though, this crazy kid likes to throw mommy for a loop.  

Now, if only we could get this sleeping through the night thing figured out...
