Annual picking of the collards

It has become an annual tradition that we pick the collards from my Dad's garden. Juliette had her first picking this year. Mom cooked them into wonderful Hoppin' Johns.

Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas to all! We had a very nice Christmas. We were in town and Santa for sure stopped to see Juliette. Juliette did get her picture taken with Santa as well this year. She went with Lily May Crosby. She did not cry at all and actually smiled for Santa. This year Juliette's favorite part of presents was unwrapping them. She really kind of got into tha with help from us.

Pre-Christmas dinner with Mendini's and Stovall's

We had a wonderful pre-Christmas dinner at Poogan's Porch with both sets of family. Juliette spent the evening with her Tessa, Doe, Mima and Papa.

Juliette's first picking of the Christmas tree

We went and picked out of Christmas tree. It just so happened that she was quite hungry when we arrived. She was as into her bottle to be honest as she was looking at the trees. Her Daddy is teaching her early how to get behind the wheel.

Juliette is in her first fashion show - well sort of...

The Lowcountry Smocking Guild had their annual fashion show. Juliette wore her Christmas dress smocked by her Tessa. We managed to make it down the aisle. Funny enough she rarely spits up. Well we arrive at the show with the dress on and she begins to spit up - not once, not twice but three times. The poor dress! We ran to the bathroom and just used some water to fix the dress. No one was able to notice. She was a little Princess letting the ladies look at her dress.

Juliette has a play date

Juliette had a wonderful afternoon with her three dear little friends Thomas, Ellison Ann, and Michael. Juliette had her first close encounter to a little boy and enjoyed playing. Michael is six months old so he wanted to touch her face and really play. Juliette was a little bit jealous having to watch Michael crawl around. She is now trying harder and harder to lift her little fanny and crawl. Thanks for a great afternoon Mom, Sally, Lee and Mrs. Davis.

Happy Four Months Old Juliette

Juliette is officially four months old today. She is now rolling on both sides and back to front and front to back.
