Roll over!

Today at church, Juliet was being fussy and Tim took her to the back of the chapel to try to help her calm down. He laid her on her blanket on the floor to let her play and she did something simply magical: she rolled over from her back to her tummy . . . and then she tooted. That last part isn't terribly magical, but after Tim put her back onto her back she proceeded to roll over again. She rolled over a total of five times! And I didn't see any of them :(

We are still in the process of packing. We've got about four bags for the DI and we've taken three out to the trash. It's all been very therapeutic.

4 months old!

Last Sunday Juliet turned 4 months, which meant that on Tuesday we got to take her to her checkup to get her shots and everything. We learned that she weighs 11 lbs 10 oz (11th percentile) and is 25 inches long (77 percentile). The doctor said she is perfectly fine and that she's a tall, skinny baby. Well, when the doctor started checking things like her eyes and ears Juliet just started FREAKING out! She screamed like nothing I had ever heard before, except for maybe when she got her 2 month shots. We finally got her to calm down and then the nurses came in to give her the shots. Once again, she screamed and cried and we finally got her to calm down. Because of the recall on infant Tylenol we needed to go back to Wal Mart and get her some off-brand stuff. Of course it's out everywhere so Tim finally talks to someone in the pharmacy who says we can give her children's stuff and then gives us the right quantity to give her. I guess the Walgreens brand works okay but this whole week has been terrible for her :( Her sleeping schedule is way off and she's been so much more fussy. I'm still hoping that the sleep she's missed out on will be caught up eventually.

Another neat thing we get to do now that she's 4 months old is feed her rice cereal! I've been waiting forever to feed her cereal so that I could see if it helps her sleep longer. We've given it to her a couple of times but I don't think she quite loves it. I think it's too slow for her to eat with a spoon instead of breastfeeding. But we'll keep working on it and hopefully she'll get the hang of it :)

Eating Feeties :)

She loves to eat her feet! I'm always surprised when I pick her up and her socks are wet hahaha. She's so flexible!

David Archuleta

Last December David Archuleta came to Rexburg but we didn't get tickets fast enough to go to his concert. He came again this month to do another concert but we weren't going to go because now we have a 4 month old who probably wouldn't enjoy it :) I was a little disappointed but then I saw that he was doing a book signing at Deseret Book. Me, Tim, Mark and Whitney went and stood in line for about an hour and a half to see David and it was totally worth it.

The Places We've Lived

Our first apartment together :) Tim found it about 3 weeks before we got married and a week before we were leaving for Christmas break so it was really lucky. It was a HUGE basement apartment, but a little creepy so we moved down the street to the....

Yellow House! Mark and Whitney helped us get this apartment and we loved it. We loved living in the same house as our friends and it was such a great location. Then we got pregnant and moved down two houses to the....

Red House! This has been our favorite apartment so far and such a great place to start our little family.

My Birthday and Camping

This year Tim made my birthday amazing! It started at midnight when I opened the present from my mom that I had been waiting 2 months to open! She sent it up with a friend in April and told me not to open it until my birthday, which was torture. But, I was a good daughter and waited :) Then we went to bed and I woke up twice with Juliet and after the second time it was 5:45 and I was too excited to wait anymore! So I woke him up and he was nice enough to let me open my presents. And I LOVED the present Tim made me. He made me a picture collage of our life together from the first place we met, to our first kiss, to our wonderful Juliet. It was perfect :)

That night our ward was having a campout up in Island park and there was a lodge type place that had bedrooms for those of us with babies. We had a fun time and Juliet didn't do too bad being away from home. The next day we went to Mesa Falls on the way home and looked at the water falls. It was a little cold, but Juliet fell asleep the rest of the way home which was awesome. It was a lot of fun doing something different for my birthday :)

I changed her diaper before going inside and while Dawna was holding her I realized that I had put her pants on backwards!

Tim is totally working that Baby Bjorn
