Redneck Rain Gauge

We have been getting so much rain the past few weeks, the pool is so full and so are the wedding jars that we have hanging in the front of the house. This is our rain gauge for now it actually works pretty good. Sorry Texas we will try and send some your way!

Fun With Hats In Florida

I call the first hat her Zac Brown hat, as in the country singer with the big lumberjack beard. He always has his knit skully on when he is on tv. The cow hat I just had to get when I saw it before she was born, I guess she grew a bit faster than I thought... I got my baby cow I always wanted and she was cuter than I thought she could be.

Tummy Time

Julia is growing so fast, she loves all her toys and really enjoys getting her picture taken and smiling. Can you find Chester in this picture?

Playing Dress Up

Julia and Grammie played dress up today, her head is almost big enough now for her bows. She has also been drooling a lot and chewing on everything, I think her gums hurt maybe there is a tooth in the near future.

3 Months???

This is what you get when you buy your 3 month old baby 3 month PJ's... guess she is ready for a flood with her short legs on her clothes. Julia had a doctor's appointment today and she weighed 15.5 lbs, like a lady said in Target the other day "she looks healthy..." nice way of saying chubby I guess. Her Grammie is going to get a good work out while she is here.

It's Hard Being A Baby

Shade Baby

Texas Ranger Fan

Julia's aunt Jacie got her some Rangers jersey's that I didn't think would fit her for at least a few more months... she has some growing room, I hope they make it through the season! We really want to get some tickets for a game that the Rangers come to play the Rays, we are pretty close to Tampa so it is for sure on our to do list while we are here.

Water Baby

Emily came to visit and take care of Julia while we headed back to work. We also had some relaxation in the new pool. Julia really likes to swim and wearing her swimming suit. She also has discovered her tongue... so where she normally would be smiling so sweet in pictures, she now sticks her tongue out as far as she can. She also laughs really hard for like 10 minutes straight.

Julia's Rough Day With Daddy

Today Julia and Jared got to hang out while I went to work, I don't even think that Julia even knew that I was gone. I got to come home at lunch and she was sound asleep. It helped to put my mind at ease and not worry about her as much as I was when I was at work. I knew she was in good hands with her Daddy. First day done and many to come. Thanks to everyone for your kind words.

First Day Away

Tomorrow I have to go back to work for the first time since Julia was born. The good news is that Jared will be home with her so I know she will be in good hands. It will be the longest that I will be away from her since she was in the hospital. I have no idea what my feelings will be in the morning, but I am hoping that I will be able to see the road with tears in my eyes so I will not be late for my first day. It is crazy to think that in just short of 3 months how much love you can have for this little baby girl, that pretty much eats, poops, sleeps, and now smiles at you for no reason at all. I will miss you Julia Grace, be good for your daddy.
