Juliette is Sleeping Next To Me
It is 3:35 am and tomorrow we pack out cart for the 100th time and head out to Columbia and Grandmother;s house. I leave you there and go to Starbacks where I sit and work for hours and hours. I always look forward to coming home to you. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray...I know how corny this is...but please don't take my sunshine away.
As much as I crave the special quality of pregnancy and birth and another golden girl just like you. I HAVE YOU and I can barely contain the joy of that fact. I have my Juliette to call mine, for a time.
There is NOTHING, NOTHING like having Juliette here by my side. You are SO, SO cute. I love your little hands, your little feet, your little mouth and pillowy cheeks. I love you powerfully and completely.

Juliette's Wound is Healing
The fall last week left a red scab on her forehead. It looks so much better today. She is walking more and more without holding on to anything. We predict that she will be walking around with good balance by the time we move to our new house at the end of June.
Juliette has more hair than ever. It is fluffy and soft. Juliette is turning into a real beauty. We have a very cute, very pretty, very smart baby! We are very grateful.
She is eating EVERYTHING but food, that is paper, plastic, fabric, leather.
We are still trying to get her to eat solid food. I hope she turns a corner soon.
Juliette is pointing to things and trying, trying, trying to call things something.
Not comprehensible, but Juliette is trying to speak.
To walk, to talk, to eat solid food.

Juliette Fell
Juliette fell and hit her head on the concrete floor of the balcony. She has had a red series of scabs on her forehead for two days now. I cried harder than she did when she fell on the concrete.
Learning to walk it hard work. The logistics are complex. Juliette is trying to master then all.
Juliette has a new house. We closed last night! Juliette went to the closing, scratches and scrapes and all.
Juliette will probably fall again and again...until she learns to walk.

Juliette is Walking!
That's right she takes a few steps without holding onto ANYTHING OR ANYONE!
She walks and she talks.
Today she said "Bird!" and pointed to the light blue, spring sky overhead.
She is teething on everything that fits into her mouth.
She also had a bad fall today on the patio and has six or seven red scratches on her forehead. I cried after it happened.
She can also safely lower herself safely down from the bed onto the floor. Another milestone, the site of a bad fall a few weeks ago.
My wee-wee, my whittle-whittle, my wheaty, my sweety...my Juliette!

Juliette spent time at the Botanical Gardens in Rockville. She tried walking on the soft, green grass and fell several times. She enjoyed the sunshine and the warm weather. I lost my watch of less than one-year. I am devastated. I went back to the Gardens later, I left Juliette at home, and I walked around, re-traced our footsteps for over an hour and found NOTHING. I will call the lost and found office tomorrow.
We had Brunch with the bus ladies on Saturday, from 11:00 AM to 3:12. Juliette played with Miles, Carol's dog for most of the day. Carol is selling her house, no mor bus lady brunches at Even Star Court. This is our fifth year of brunches and baby showers. Kristin, Ellen, Carol, Donna, Michelle, and Meagan. Our lives have changed dramatically since we all met on the #310, the Columbia to Baltimore line. We rode together, twice a day for five-years. We rode through five good years. Very good years. Single, unmarried days for me, to engagement, to wedding, to pregnancy and baby. Newlywed days for Kristin, then first baby, second baby. Working days before retirement and an empty nest for Carol, to selling the house after 25-years. Ellen newlywed days and trying, trying and trying to conceive. Donna from two daughters at home to an empty nest. Meagan through graduate school and parents illness. Michelle from health to sickness.
