Photo Op

Being a mom is the best job in the world! Joel and I are loving all of the new things Juliet learns to do every day. She is the joy of our life. Though it's been hard being back to work full time, I cherish all the time I do get to spend with her. It's been a while, so here are a bunch of pictures from the last few weeks. :)

We had a friend's baby baptism and luncheon last Sunday. Somebody was really sleepy and ready to go home for a nap.

 Easter morning. I had to torture her with the ears.

This picture and many moments like this melt my heart. Joel is such an amazing daddy and he already has a daddy's girl on his hands.

Juliet feel asleep while we were grocery shopping. What is it about watching a sleeping baby? I could watch her sleep for hours.

We had steak dinner for Joel's birthday; he thought Juliet needed to join in.

I LOVE that my awesome neighbor and friend is watching Juliet for me. She sends me pics all the time of her playing. Such a happy girl while mom's at work.

My parents and Uncle got an oak high chair for us. It's beautiful. I can't believe she'll be big enough to use it soon!

Such a silly girl

Milk coma :)

A girl's gotta be stylin'!

Juliet had shots on Friday as well as a cold. She was super snuggly this weekend. 

She does know how to push the buttons with her hands, but hitting them with her head is so much fun :)

Have an awesome week! You can expect another post from me next weekend. We're celebrating the one year anniversary of my mom's heart surgery. So excited and thankful!

Slacker

Yep, I've been a slacker. I have been a little bit busy, you know. :)

Things are going well for us. I've been back to teaching for about 3 weeks now (with one week off for Spring Break). I still don't like leaving Juliet in the morning, but once I'm at school, the time flies and I know she's being well taken care of! My awesome friend, and neighbor, Jamie is with her all day long and I know she loves on her tons! She so great and sends me pictures and videos of her throughout the day. Only just over 7 weeks to go, that's only 36 days and, because I despise pumping twice a day, I'm actually keeping track of the number of pumpings to go: 72 to be exact. :) Ha!

I am so excited to be able to stay home with her after this school year. I feel so blessed that Joel and I are able to afford for me to be home with her. I'm so looking forward to being with her all the time!
