Rubber Ducky You’re the One!
Julianna loves and I mean LOVES having a bath! We have two favorite water toys already her rubber ducky and her pink sponge fish we call "Wanda"; a tribute to one of mom's favorite movies. Our tub fits conveniently over our kitchen sink making bath time easy for mom too!
Baby Photo Comparison
Since Julianna was born everyone has talked about how much she looks like Eric. I thought I would share our baby photos with you so you can determine just how much she really looks like papa. I think she is 90% Eric and 10% me.

Julianna’s First Playmates
Julianna came home from the hospital with two instant friends. Our Boston Terriers, Frannie and Lulu, welcomed her with lots of licks and snuggles. When I came across an infant T-shirt sporting a sweet Boston Terrier I knew it had to be purchased for Julianna. Here they pose together for pictures -- it should seem obvious that they all LOVE the camera and the color pink!

- I can’t believe they are sitting this close and are remaining calm — treats must be close by
-
- Sit, Lulu, Sit — good dog!

A dress, a blanket and a bassinet
This weekend Eric and I took Julianna for her very first road trip. We went to see Grandma Callicutt at her house for the very first time. While visiting we took some time to look through some of the treasures that have been kept through the years. Much to my surprise we found a handmade dress given to me by my great aunt Joyce at my baby shower and a beautiful and oh-so-soft blanket that was made for me by my aunt Gladys. Needless to say I just had to see what Julianna would look like in my sweet, little dress that has survived for 37 years without any stains or damage.
I took some pictures with the blanket and my bassinet as well.

Eric loves to lift Julianna in the air, watch her expressions and listen to her giggle and coo. It's a sweet time they share together almost every evening!
Julianna’s Ribbon Collection
Grandma Annie made a bundle of hair ribbons for me and brought them all the way from Houston! Though it will be a few months before I have enough hair to wear them a girl can never start accessorizing too early! Thanks Grandma Annie! The sheep ribbon holder looks totally cool in my room! Check it out!
Grandpa Steve and Grandma Annie Come to Visit
Grandpa Steve and Grandma Clay flew all the way from Houston to come meet me this weekend. It was so wonderful to get to spend four days with them. On Saturday Great Uncle Herman drove over from Greensboro to see his sister Annie and to meet me. Grandma Callicutt also came over from Asheboro! We had burgers and dogs on the grill and finished it all off with a hot-from-the-oven peach cobbler and vanilla ice cream! We can't wait for Steve and Annie to come back again! Thanks for keeping me while mommy and daddy went out for a nice dinner!
Our Family Photos
The first photos of our now family of three have been taken! So sweet -- seems like we waited forever for our little girl to arrive!
