All The Single Ladies

Juliann LOVES to dance. Anytime she hears music she starts to bob her head to the beat. If she's standing she'll sway from side to side as she moves her head. Just say the word dance and she'll bust a move, even if there's no music! It's the most adorable thing yet it is absolutely hysterical! Last night we had the radio on when we changed her into her night clothes and Beyonce's song, Single Ladies came on. She started dancing and we grabbed the camera. See our little dancer for your self!

Baptism

Juliann was baptized at Lexington Presbyterian Church on Sunday, January 11, 2009. A number of family and friends joined us for this special occasion. Jules was an absolute angel and in true form being the center of attention! It was evident she enjoyed when Dr. Klein walked her around the congregation because she was waving and smiling at everyone! I can't count the number of people who told us after church what a happy baby we had and how lucky we are to have her. The most memorable moment for us was when David, Jules and I had just joined Dr. Klein in front of the congregation and we bowed our heads to pray. Juliann noticed the bread on a table near us for Communion. Very loudly she said, "mmmmmm" because she loves all types of bread! It relaxed our nerves a little and we knew right then that she wasn't going to have any problems during her baptism. Enjoy the pictures below from this wonderful weekend!

First steps!

Juliann took her first solo steps on Friday evening! We were playing on the floor and she took 5 steps and fell towards me. We were so excited and surprised at the same time! We know it won't be long before those 5 steps become 50. Watch out world-here comes Jules!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! It's hard to believe 2008 is over-it was such a great year for our family. However, we know 2009 will be even better! We spent New Years Eve here at home with some friends. We all agreed that we're getting old because around 10 o'clock we were all ready for bed! We kept looking at the clock and willing midnight to hurry up so the ball would drop and we could go to sleep! :) Despite being tired, we had a great time and so did the babies! Juliann and Kendri happily played well past their own bedtimes and entertained the adults in the process. We hope everyone had a safe and happy New Years with their friends and family!
