Happy Halloween! Juliette took a late nap which totally threw off her groove in the first part of trick or treating. She didn't want anything to do with this Halloween thing. Thankfully, she recovered and woke up to enjoy the evening. We took turns running up and down the street with the cutest little lady bug. Of course, she had zero interest in the candy (she doesn't eat in case you did not read the previous post). She loved the freedom of running like a mad woman while droves of kids flocked down our street. Someone gave her a a glow stick which made her night. Coolest thing ever to her. After a few hours of chasing the kid, it was bedtime. Can't wait to do it all over again next year!

Juliette has proven that the terrible two's start at 20 months, not the previously thought of 24 months. She now refuses to eat mac n' cheese and hotdogs (her old trusty staples). She now is down to cheesey poofs, crackers, cookies and icing (not the cake, just icing). I try daily to shove some yogurt in to which I am 50% successful. She is usually wearing the other half. We give her more milk to compensate and up her calorie intake intake and up her vitamins. If anyone knows how to make a kid eat, I'd love to know!
School is going well...she hugged a little boy as soon as we walked into her classroom the other day. Thankfully the teacher saw it too cause I could not believe my eyes. She LOVES going outside. She has not bitten or slapped anyone since her first week. However, she still throws her lunch plate on a daily basis. She now knows how to throw a temper tantrum. And we question her reasoning as to why out of nowhere she fake crys and then all of a sudden smiles and goes on with her day. But, she is still cute as can be and we love her more each day. She's on her way to being a strong independent young lady! Happy 20 Months Juliette Margot! You have become quite the crazy kid! You LOVE to run everywhere you go. You don't sit unless there's a Disney movie on the t.v. (see picture above). Chuck is ALWAYS by your side. Thankfully, your teachers at school let you have him with you all day now. They have seen you without him. And quite honestly, they like you better when Chuck is around. You still are the world's pickiest eater. You now are not a fan of hotdogs anymore. Oh how I wish you would eat more things! I am starting to think that the "Terrible Two's" actually start before the age of two. You love to make a good mess. Toys in basket are your favorite. You love to dump them all out and then go on to the next mess. You love to stick your hands in the dogs water bowl and splash water everywhere. One of your other favorite activities is turning the t.v. off and then slyly walking away to only get mad a few minutes later cause you can't hear your Disney movie. Man, it's a good thing you are so cute! I wouldn't trade any of your craziness for anything! I love you, Juliette Margot! (your Dada loves you too)
Juliette is on her fourth week at school. So far she has:
On a good note, she now naps better at school. She eats all the goldfish and butter cookies her heart desires. She is starting to play and interact with her classmates. Now if we could just get rid of all these germs...ugh. Here's some pictures from recent times... And some notes from school...these are real gems :)
Today is Juliette's first day at school. She woke up in a good mood, unaware of the day that lay ahead of her. I thought I was going to be a hot mess, but thankfully I was ok. I am so excited for her to meet and mingle with other little people her age. I'm thrilled at the idea that she may try to eat other things (something other than macaroni and cheese). My baby is growing up! We dropped her off and as soon as she walked into her classroom, she ran off and started playing. She didn't even noticed that we left her. We did sneak Chuck in...in case he is needed. It's only been two hours...I wonder how she's doing? Daddy will be by to pick you up later Cheekie!
Juliette was 19 months two days ago. This was the first time I did not get her picture on the actual month birthday. Sorry kid. We've just been having too much fun to stop and take pictures (and you reallllly don't sit for more than 1.6 seconds). Juliette blabs non-stop. If only we could understand her. Tomorrow she starts "school" two days a week. I'm sure I will cry. And I bet she won't even notice her dad and I aren't there. She is so independent. Every day is more fun than the day before. She LOVES to go swimming. She has become quite fond of taking long bike rides with her pops. If she's in a bad mood, just give her Chuck and take her outside and she's instantly in a better mood. Juliette, we are so lucky to be your parents! And just when you think you can't love someone anymore, somehow you do. You are such a joy and we love you to the moon and back! Happy 19 month birthday! p.s. To make up for being two days late, we are heading to Publix shortly to get you a cupcake ;)
Happy 1/2 Birthday my dearest Juliette! You have grown into such a beautiful little girl! It doesn't hurt that you look like your ma ;) Taking pictures of you is hard...you are a wiggly crazy gal! Your mom and dad love you to the moon and back! Keep smiling!
This is what a one year old sugar addict looks like. Last week was my 34th birthday...and that was my cake. Juliette LOVES cake, cookies, chocolate, and anything else that is mostly made with sugar. We started the day with some sugar at the Old Spanish Sugar Mill at De Leon Springs. We are huge fans of this place. You make your own pancakes at your table. Ingenious! After breakfast, we walked around the park, Juliette & Daddy went for a swim in the cool springs, and we rented a paddle boat. It was a sweltering hot day! We had a great time!
Juliette is 17 months old today...where has the time gone!!!???!? Now that she is walking, she is in to EVERYTHING. Even though she has tons of toys, she would rather play with anything she can get her hand on in the kitchen or in my jewelry box. Thankfully, there is nothing of value in either! She has also discovered chasing the dogs, how to get Chuck to drink water from the dogs water bowl and how to climb on the couch all by herself. She is still the world's pickiest eater...ugh. She will eat hotdogs, mac n' cheese, bananas, cereal bars, chocolate chip cookies...and that's about it. We've tried to get her to eat lots of other things, but she wants nothing to do with them. She's got a full mouth of teeth now. Her curls continue to grow and get blonder. Even when she's running around like a lunatic yelling at the top of her lungs, she's cute. Happy 17 Months my spunky, crazy, adorable, sweet, sassy little girl! You get cuter by the day! |
