So, wow time has gone by really fast and a lot of changes have come upon our little growing family. Little Ariana Elizabeth joined the McRae family on August 19th. She is doing wonderful and is growing quickly. Juliana loves her new little sister. She loves to give her little hugs and kisses, as you can tell from a picture further down. Juliana also had her first birthday on August 30th. She had quite a good time opening presents and looking at all her cool birthday balloons. Juliana is now officially walking everywhere. She is already very good at disappearing from the room and making her mommy go looking for her. Things are very fun, but we are loving every minute.

So things have been going really well here. Juliana is just getting bigger and more active every day. Crawling is old hat now. Now, she is trying to pull herself up on anything that will stand still and some things that won't. She wants you to walk with her everywhere. The picture above and below is her Easter outfit. The one with the handkerchief on her head was her St. Patrick's Day outfit.

Getting a Better Look

Here are some cute pictures of her and a fun video of her last night. She is very ticklish, and as you can tell she enjoys eating. Well...she enjoys what she gets in her mouth. As you can tell, sometimes that's not much.

Growing Up Too Fast

Well, Juliana is now 6 months old and wanting to do everything. She has started to sit up on her own, which makes play time very "interesting." She still falls down a lot, but she's learning. She also has a little army crawl down. She can get where she's going even though it is a little slow. She is starting to sleep through the night now. Now that she is eating some more solids, she can sleep longer. She is generally a very happy baby, which is fun. She was sick for a while, which made for some interesting days, but now that is behind us and teething is ahead. Juliana sends her love to everyone. We miss you all very much.

I am so sorry that it has been forever since I have put up pictures. These are just a few. I will put some more up a little later. She is getting so big now. She can roll over from her tummy to her back. She is learning how to scoot along the floor. She pulls her legs up and pushes her body along. She is laughing and becoming much more interested in what is going on around her.
She is sick right now with a nasty cough, but I think she is on the mend. Anyway, more pictures will be coming, but I think these show just how big she is getting. She is such a happy baby. I couldn't ask for better.
