Our First.... LAUGH!

I thought this day would NEVER come. I have waited and waited for this day for so long. Her laugh is even cuter than I had ever imagined it. I know this is really not a biggie considering all babies do this eventually, but I could not WAIT to hear it! Last Thursday we were doing our normal morning routine playing together, I had her on my lap and was throwing a toy across the room for the dog and apparently Riley thought it was hilarious. She laughed for a good 5 minutes straight, like it had been built up in her for so long. Luckily after my sister and I realized what she was doing, we were able to catch the tail end of it on camera. Turns out, throughout the day we found a few new things that she also found pretty funny. It was so adorable, I almost cried. LOL. I LOVE this little girl!!

(Okay, so this isn't the first time she laughed, that video clip was too large to upload.. but this was pretty much right after)

Jake's Baptism

Yesterday was my nephew Jacob's Baptism. They had it at a really nice church in Bellflower, and immediately following a nice party in the backyard at my parent's house. Tons of fun, great food and great company. It's always nice to see family, and definitely get all these babies together because each time we do they are bigger and bigger. It's funny to look back and see the growth after each picture we take every 2-3 months starting when my sister, cousin and I were pregnant at the same time! All in all we had a blast, and Jake looked waaayyy cute in his outfit. My little man is growing up fast! We love you Jake!

(as usual, I snapped about 250 pictures, and couldn't choose just a few.. so enjoy!)

These two handsome boys are getting so big!

You Are My Sunshine

This little girl's smile can brighten the cloudiest days! She's so animated, I love her!

New Things

My little girl is growing so fast it's unbelievable! We upgraded in the bathtub to sitting up (she used to lay in the hammock). She's finally big enough for a jumper. It's so easy to make her smile just by talking to her. Of course, our favorite time of the day, bathtime, always brings a smile to our faces. She can give you a "high five" if you ask her to, and she also grabs your nose when you ask her where your nose is. She's "creeping" or 'pre-crawling' already, after just learning to hold herself up on her tummy just a few weeks ago. Also this week, after trying all the yummy fruits and veggies baby food has to offer, I thought she might like a little change and bought her some "meats". I bought her "chicken dinner in chicken broth" thinking it would be delicious compared to all the bland things she's used to eating.. and.. well, you can probably tell by her reaction that we will be sticking to the bland stuff from now on! :)

Hmm, what do I do with this??

No more chicken for me!!
