Just had to post this photo I took of Juliet this afternoon when she was giving her toys a cuddle. A few minutes before I came and got her from her cot, I could hear her loudly kissing them all with a "Mwah!"

Cutie!

Health woes
Oh what a week it's been. Last Wednesday Juliet fell sick yet again, sleeping a mammoth 20 hours out of 24. By the time I was able to get her to the doctor on Friday morning, she was tired, sooky, feverish and the sickest I've ever seen her. Yep - ANOTHER ear infection, and to top it off, tonsillitis as well. We're now on ear infection alert, and if she continues to have more over the next 1-2 months, we're off to an ear/nose/throat specialist.
She's feeling much better now her antibiotics have kicked in, and has got over her "I'm not feeling well so I'm going to throw a 24 hour tantrum" phase too, thank God. We're back to being gorgeous and happy again. Yay! She's now taking a few steps at a time, but not yet walking properly. We did notice last week that her balance was affected by her ear problems, so that's probably not helping too much.
The shoe obsession continues, and "Doo-ee" is her version of "Juliet" - to be repeated approx. 400 times a day. Very cute!
As for me - well, I think I can sometimes feel the baby start to move. It's so faint though. It may just be all that chocolate gurgling around my tummy...

Hurricane Juliet strikes again
"Did you not want me in this cupboard?"
As you can see from the PJs and dressing gown, the destruction starts early in our house.

Blog Kickoff!
Yes, I’m a bit slow getting on the blog bandwagon. But after a few failed attempts at maintaining a personal website, I thought it might be easier to just go with the prepackaged deal. Hopefully this way I won’t be quite so slack about updating. This blog is going to be mostly about us and Juliet (and Juliet’s sibling after h/she arrives). Nothing that arty, nothing that intellectual; just family news to update anyone who may be interested.
So to get things started, I’ll begin with a snapshot of what’s going on right now. Juliet’s almost 14 months old, and has started taking her first tentative steps. It feels as though we are always desperately wanting her to reach her next milestone, but then im
mediately missing the “little” baby she once was! She is definitely a toddler these days rather than a baby. She’s got about 13-14 words, many of which only we can understand. Fave word is “shoes”, rhyming with “books”. Very cute, which is just as well as it’s repeated about 64 times a day. Her appetite is quite alarmingly large. This of course fills me with immense pride, as if it’s a personal achievement of mine. Ah, to be a mum!

She does love all her soft toys, but noone comes even close to Brooster.
I’m now 15 weeks pregnant, and in disbelief as to how quickly this pregnancy is flying by. I’m so distracted with Juliet that sometimes I almost forget I’m pregnant. The thought of having a newborn in 5 months time is something that I would rather be in denial about however (I've come to REALLY value my sleep!!), so the distraction is quite welcome.
