Good Morning, Sunshine!

She smiles so much in the morning when we finally get her after such a long night!

Around these parts, we go to bed early! We always try (keyword: try) to put Julip in her baby bed around 7:30 to 8:30. We get in bed around that time too, but we read, talk, and/or somehow end up watching youtube videos until 10 or later ha! Every morning I remind Dustin to "be extra quiet" as he's getting ready and while I'm making breakfast. He heads out the door for work and I anxiously wait for my morning sunshine!

She's so big and is starting to pull up!

What a beautiful baby girl!

It is such a gift every morning to hear my little bird chirping! I know she's happy, and it always brightens my day! She's my sunshine!

Yes. You're seeing correctly. She is standing. Standing.

She's learning that if she lets go of the railing, she falls down, down, down.

Since poor Dustin has to go to work before baby bird wakes up, I always let him go get her on the weekends. I think he enjoys it just as much, cause she's his sunshine too.

I went in this morning and she was freeing herself of clothing! Taking after her daddy already... :)

Speaking of her daddy, that is his stuffed raccoon who also went to Ole Miss with him! ha

This picture is so funny to me! She's got the "Michael Jordan determination face" with that tongue out! She was reaching for my camera!

A friend of ours was visiting recently and he said, "I don't know how you could have a bad day seeing this face all day!" And I thought about it... I don't really ever have bad days. With Dustin and this little girl around, my days are always full of sunshine!

So I was folding clothes in Julip's room, turned around, and she had pulled up completely all by herself! Oh my goodness! I didn't think this day would come so soon!

With all the love in the world,

the Jernigans, we three

p.s. We will be traveling soon, so... we'll be missing you all but lots of pictures to come soon! :)
