Princeton Mill Easter Egg Hunt

Princeton Mill (our neighborhood) always makes a huge effort to have fun family events for the holidays. This year's Easter Egg hunt was no exception! Wills had a great time...until he fell out of the bouncy house, that is. He was fine - but was ready to go home after that :)

Wills and Jules - best buds

Wills has honestly become one of the best big brothers I've ever seen - no matter what, he always seems to light up any time he's around Jules...and she does the same around him!

Scottish Mill Way Easter Egg Hunt

All of the boys joined in for a little cul-de-sac Easter Egg hunt. Much thanks to our neighbors, the Alvarezes, for filling all the eggs and hiding them!

Trying so hard to sit up!

She's getting there!

6 months old

I can't believe my baby girl is 6 months old! Everything went great at her 6 month checkup on 3/24/11 - here are her stats:

weight - 17 lb 3 oz (80th percentile)

length - 27 inches (95th percentile)

head circumference - 17 inches

The doctor felt like she was doing great - especially with pushing up on her arms when laying on her belly.

Jules is sleeping in her crib, and we just lowered it one notch. She usually sleeps from about 8 to about 6 or 6:30 - she's an early riser like her brother. She drinks milk at 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm, and she eats lunch (a veggie, fruit and cereal) at 12:30pm and dinner (the same) at 6pm. So far, I have made all of her baby food at home, and she likes most stuff (except green beans, of course). Some new things that she has tried are avocado (I blend it with a banana), kiwi, mango, carrots, and spinach. She has had both rice and oatmean cereal.

She is such a beautiful little girl, and we are so blessed to have her!

Big girl!

Jules is doing all kinds of stuff:

• rolling over all ways
• pushing up while on her tummy - she loves tummy time, unlike her brother!
• sleeping on her belly
• reaching for EVERYTHING!
• grabbing toys and passing them from one hand to another
• smiling, giggling, razzing (drooling) :)
• staring (enamored) at her big brother - he can make her smile and laugh better than anyone else!

She is so so close to sitting up on her own!

Picture Update!

We have been busy around here - work, daycare, and rain rain rain! Wills and Jules are doing great - here are some pics of them from the past week. The perfect story to go along with them...tonight, as we put Wills to bed (for like the 9th time, as he keeps getting up to "go potty"), he told me "Mommy, one day, when Jules grows up, she is going to say 'I love you, Wills'...and I am going to say 'I love you, Jules'." How sweet is he???
