23 weeks ...today

 22 weeks, still giggling at her sister, still chewing on her toes, still killing me with those blue eyes

we've started going to bed a little earlier and it seems to really be working for her

she is back to sleeping 3 hours at a time at night, but we're functioning well with that!

 Papa got a little scrap carpet out for her to lay on. She rolls a lot when we are in Nebraska or on carpet, but not so much on the wood floor at our house. She didn't waste any time on this carpet, even though it is just a little scrap :)

 her haircut didn't take away her curls! They only got curlier as the day went on!

 sister love

 Juni asked me to get out my measuring tape so she could measure her towers :)

 she's just so cute! ;)

this girl too!!

5 months, 22 weeks, vaca catch-up

first the pics from my new fancy phone...

 Before we left for NE I tried fish-tailing Juni's ponytail. It kind of worked. :)

 5 months

Favorites include putting her toes in her mouth, squealing just to hear the fun sound, and giggling while watching her big sister dance

 pre wedding painting event that we were VERY late to b/c of course nothing wedding ever goes as planned

 Juni was the first to catch the awful pukey bug we all ended up getting on our "vacation" home

 pretty bride on her pretty day

 I just can't get enough of this sweet, sweet babe

 I think she looks JUST like her papa in this picture

 Juni got her very first haircut in Nebraska!

 Here she is helping Papa to blow up her new bouncy Giraffe

 schucking corn with Olivia and Grandma

 Mama was 3rd to get the bug. Although I am SO thankful it didn't hit me until the day AFTER the wedding, we only had two days of family time this trip, and I was sick through both of them. Ugh.

 Cookie time with sprinkles

 Dusting party

 Genevieve and her favorite toy, baby Scratch

 Little princess wiped out from playing and still recovering from that icky bug

 family of four

 My sweet Juniper Opal had to go under general anesthesia for some dental work. I was so happy to have my sweet girl back in my arms when it was all over. It took her the full day to recover, but the next morning she was bounced back and ready for action.

 happy and active :)

tired girl

and I did occasionally have the camera with...

 my little big girl

 watching fireworks

 these two are going to get into some trouble together ;)

 cousins!

 It was so nice to have a little time here and there with just Juni and Mama

 cousin time

 playing in Grandma's big yard with more cousins! Hooray!

 22 weeks and getting so strong! She's had a couple of stranger danger moments when she couldn't see Mama or Papa, but overall she seems to be pretty agreeable with people. She is loving any stand-up/bouncer toy she can get her feet into.

 Poppers, snakes, and smoke bombs were a hit. She isn't too sure about sparklers.

I

I was afraid she would spend her whole 4th of July here, but she did get out of the bathroom, a little, and even had some moments where she should have been in the bathroom, but wasn't ;) Another trip home survived!!
...and a couple from Papa's phone

 fun at the zoo! can you tell she actually WANTED her picture taken this time?!?!

 dancing with my girls

 back home, swinging in the breeze
