Caroline and Juliette--Our little miracles: June 2009

It's hard to believe that on Thursday the girls will officially be 6 months old!! Last year at this time I had just found out I was pregnant, was about 6 weeks along and had no clue there was 2 beautiful girls to come bless our world. I am sure I don"t have to tell any one out there how fast time has gone by.

Juliette is my little inch worm this month. Once she figured out how to roll over onto her tummy from her back we find her rolling over a lot. At night I put her on her back and when I check on her she is either on her side or on her belly. The cutest thing is when she has her butt up in the air. I call her an inch worm because she gets on her belly and scoots around. In some of the pics you will notice her little cheeks are so red, well it's from rubbing her cheeks on the blanket. She also manages to move herself all over her crib and ends up in the corner. Also, just the other day she discovered she has a tongue and is loving to show all of us. Since this is new I have not got a pic of it yet, but it is hilarious!! I should have one for the next post.

Caroline is nosy Rosey right now. She loves to see what is going on in the room at all times. You can not lie her flat to eat, she must sit up like a big girl and keep up with all the action. She can also roll over from back to tummy, but is not as big a fan of it as J is. She has become quite fond of her feet though as you can see in one of her pics. She continues to look bigger than J. She was taken to see the Dr the other day and was 14 lbs. Jules did not see the doctor because at that time she was not sick.

Caroline was sick at the beginning of the last week and is just now starting to get better. Juliette is just now getting it and is fighting the worst of it. Runny nose, low grade fever, cough...makes it very hard for them to sleep at night (and mommy and daddy too). It breaks our hearts to see them sick and they are not fans of bulb syringes and nasal spray. Doc said it is a virus so it has to run it's course. Caroline did require some albuterol syrup to help open up her little airways and help her breath. better. It has seemed to help with the congestion in her chest. I hope Juliette's doesn't get as bad. If so we will take her to see the doc too. Otherwise they have their 6 month check up on the 30th and we will get their height and weight then.

As far as keeping up with this blog I have decided to try posting once a month from now on around this time. Since the 11th of each month is when they get older then I figured that would be a good time. I try to let everyone know via facebook and email that it has been updated as well. I bring this up because I have had several people tell me recently that I need to add more pics of the girls. I love to share pics and info with everyone and I am glad so many people find the time to look at it to watch the girls progress. Many of you have been there from the beginning and we really appreciate all the love and support we have received. There is just so much going on and it does get time consuming so I hope you all can understand. Hopefully, this will keep people from being disappointed and/or wasting time by checking the blog everyday. I know you all have busy lives too. Have a good rest of June and we will see ya in July.
