autumn is here


Time sure does fly with a little one around! October is always a fun month for Brian and I, we both love the season change. I wonder what's in store for us this year? September '06-we fell in love, October '07-We got married, November '08-We found out we were pregnant....That means December of this year should hold something good!


Here are some pictures of our Autumn adventures with Julia. Having fun at the pumpkin patch.

Brian and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary at The White House Inn. We had fun reminiscing about our wedding day. We even got to spy on a wedding taking place while we ate our dinner. It was so nice to have an evening with my handsome hubby.

Julia celebrated her 4 month birthday-she is 12 pounds 12 ounces and 24 1/4 inches long!

3 Months!

Julia Claire is 3 months old! Time is flying by with our little girl, she is getting so big. According to our bathroom scale she weighs 12 pounds.




Over the holiday weekend we went out to Cox Arboreteum to get some pictures of Julia to celebrate her 3 month birthday. Brian did an awesome job!

Playing catch up!

Ok, it is been way too long since I've written. I guess I've been sort of busy...


Julia is now 2.5 months old! We cannot believe how fast she is growing. Fun new things include: big smiles in the morning, laughing at Daddy when he does goofy things, sleeping longer periods of time at night (yay!) recognizing the faces on her animals and smiling at them, grabbing and reaching for her binky, toys, or animals and lots of awake time during the daytime. We are having so much fun playing with Julia and watching her develop new skills everyday.

Here she is at 2 months, weighing 10 pounds 2 ounces.

Brian started taking some classes at Miami. We realized that he was able to take some classes for free since having Julia. He is now a "non-traditional" student due to his age and having a child. Unfortunatley, the government will only give him money for school for one semester, so he is just taking a few classes for fun. Then he will graduate with his history degree and be done with college. He is taking digital photography, an appalachian music course, a course about national parks and a history course. I think that he will have a lot of fun in his classes. I'll admit that I'm kind of jealous of him. (not the studying and homework part though!)

I'm starting to work more in the next few weeks. I've only worked two days since Julia was born. In September I think I am working about 6 days. I have 3 days lined up for October so far. I'm so glad that I don't have to leave Julia every day! I missed her terribly the last time that I worked. While it is fun to be around adults and do something that I love, it is still so hard to be away from Julia. I don't know how full time working moms do it-I guess they do it because they have to. I'm so very thankful for my wonderfully flexible job!

Well, hopefully I'll be able to keep up with my blog a little bit better in the next few weeks.

One Month

Dear Julia,


Mommy and Daddy cannot believe that you have been on the outside for one month already! We are so thankful for you and want you to know that we love you everyday. Watching you grow and change has been so amazing. You are getting so strong and developing such a sweet personality. You love to cuddle with Mommy and sleep on Daddy's chest. We often find you sleeping on your left side-just like Mommy sleeps! You like to hear Daddy sing and play guitar and you love the music from your mobile.

You are sleeping 3 hours at a time during the night. You eat 3 ounces of formula every two to three hours. You are sure to let us know when you are hungry by forcefully ejecting your binky from your mouth and letting out a wail! Thankfully Mommy is always ready with a bottle close by. We wouldn't want you to cry more than necessary. We are looking forward to watching you grow and know that you have a lot in store for us.

We are so glad that God gave us you. We love you everyday Little Panda Bear.

-Mommy and Daddy


You weigh 7 pounds today
