The Many Names of Juno

Juno's Mommy and I are both huge on nicknames. We have dozens for each other, and it looks like the wee girl is headed for the same fate. Poor kid will be so confused the first day of school when the teacher calls out "Juno" at this rate. Since we both tend to use the various nicknames at random, here's a little cheat-sheet for you.

Junebug (hence, the title of the blog)

Jujubee

Shnoo

Milkface

Baby Juju

Junebug all set for yoga.

I expect the list to grow as she gets older. Feel free to come up with your own special name(s) for the Junebug. It might help her to have aliases should she choose a life as a secret agent or something equally awesome.

Some "Firsts"

Man, for being a baby the Shnoo sure has been busy. Check out some of her "firsts" from the last seven months.

First time crawling. Girlie can move it!

First Halloween.

First time on the swings. Wwwhhhheeeeeee!

First time in a pub and pounding a Guiness.


Um, is this her first time rolling over? Or holding up her head? We'll just say it is.

First shower with Mommy.

First trip to the beach. Also, first time topless sunbathing.

First bath. The stern face and fist crack me up. This girl means business.

Juno's First Months

Here is a sampling of photos over the last seven months of Juno's life. I think I have these more or less in chronological order. The growth and change that has taken place is a miracle if you think about it. It wasn't that long ago that she couldn't hold up her head, and now she crawls, plays and entertains everyone around her. She brings such joy to this world already!

Swingin' with Daddy.

The wee one rocking her loungewear. Auntie Judi's quilt provides a comfy place to rest.

The family hangs out post-bath.

Kickin' it with Auntie Molly in Tahoe.

Is there anything better than snuggling with Mommy? I would venture to say "No."

One month old snuggled up with a gift from Auntie Calies.

Resting comfortably with Mommy. So alert and aware for such a tiny one.

Meeting Papa at 3 days old.

The newborn babe.

Welcome: The Innaugural Post

Hello Juno Fans!

This is Auntie Christen, happily writing the first of what we hope will be many wonderful posts about Juno Constance Fleetfoot. Juno's Mommy and I will be updating this site with pictures, milestones, and stories about everyone's favorite baby girl. We're new to this whole co-blogging thing, so bear with us as we work out technical difficulties and get into a groove.

I am honored that Juno's Mommy is letting me be part of this. I suspect she's placating me so I don't share any stories of Mommy's wild youth, but that's cool.
