Juliet is 9 months old!

Today marks Juliets 9 month "birthday" and we are thrilled at the progress she has made in one very important area: SLEEP! Since the first of the year, we have informed Juliet that she will no longer be fed or attended to in the middle of the night. She has, more or less, started to understand our new stance and has complied quite nicely. This has been good for everyone. Now, Juliet and Isaac share a room and our cozy little apartment has an official guestroom.


Other things Juliet has started to do are: waving, clapping, drumming on the drum, tapping the keys on the piano, self-feeding, walking behind the push-car, climbing on everything, and she still has 2 teeth!

Juliet loves her family very much. If she is doing something in one room and hears the rest of the family in another, she will fuss until we are all together. She is much more affectionate than Isaac was at her age. She loves to snuggle and just be held. She watches and studies expressions on faces as if she's doing research on human behavior. She loves to watch me cook and so I try to remember to narrate to her what I'm doing and what tools I am using.

She is so amazing to watch! I still can't believe we have a daughter, and that her name is Juliet! I can't believe she is 9 months old and that she is more than we could have asked for! Our lives are truly blessed by her presence and we are so excited that she is a part of our family.
