Battle Wounds

Juliet had a very busy weekend with lots of visiting and spent some time enjoying the weather.  Friday was Grandpa's birthday and so we went over to his house for a BBQ.  Grandpa made beer can chicken on the BBQ and it was moist and delicious.  Grandpa got lots of presents, 90% of which related to planes or flying.

Juliet is happy to see dad when he gets home from work.

On Saturday, we had brunch with Grandma and then went over to Chrissy and Trevor's place for dinner and had a BBQ on the deck.  I'm not complaining about the fact that we had BBQ again...we've lived in a condo with no outside space and no BBQ for 8 years, so we absolutely love going over to friends'/families' places for BBQ.  I think it's half the reason we want a house!

So cute!

On Sunday we had a nice visit from Juliet's Aunt Paula and her friend Adam. 

And in the afternoon, we went down to the waterfront and to the Distillery District and had a nice Sunday stroll.  It was so hot and humid, we didn't want Juliet to stay out too long.  I had a yummy gelato and wished I could have given her some!  Oh well, she'll experience gelato eventually.








And now for the sad news...Juliet got her first set of shots today.  She got two needles - one in both thighs.  She cried right after she got the needles.  She cried like I have never heard her cry before.  The nurse told me to nurse (lol) to soothe her, but Juliet was too worked up to even try.  I just held her and tried to comfort her by "shushing" in her ear and that seemed to work and she quieted down within a few minutes.  They warned us that she could get a fever and be cranky, but she actually seems pretty normal now.

Juliet shows off her battle wounds - notice the circular band-aids on her upper thighs :(  I think she sort of looks like Leo in this picture.
