Happy Halloween

Who is the cutest turtle that ever existed?




Ok mom, this is just cruel!

Earthquake

There was an Earthquake here last night at around 8:00 pm, magnitude 5.6. Its epicenter was only 7 miles from our home. We shook quite a bit but everything is fine. Elena had been asleep for the night for about 45 minutes already. She did not even wake up with the Earthquake. We were downstairs withe one of Mick's college buddies when it started and we both ran up to get her. Mom was a little freaked. Dad picked her up in case the aftershocks were bad...they weren't too bad. In the end, it was Dad's loud voice that woke her up.

But no damage, no one was harmed and pressure was released from the Earth which is good.

oh yeah....and Elena is never leaving our room. She will be 16 years old and still sleeping with us

Thanks for everyone's concerns

Week 14 Part 2

This week continued with more activities.

Here are some photos

I am hanging out in my diaper with my baby lion in my bumbo...so what?Mom, why am I wearing a hat indoors?
I may fall asleep, but that doesn't mean that I am done playing with my ball

On Saturday, my mom left me alone with Daddy for 5 whole hours in preparation for when she goes back to work. We did ok, even though I didn't nap nicely for daddy. My mom however didn't do so well. She called several times to check up on us. She is neurotic and a little bit of a control freak...but I can't blame her. I am so cute.

My parents took an infant CPR class so I am ready to eat solids. Good thing they took the class because I stick everything in my mouth now! I went to the class as well and everyone said that I behaved very well, even though I was soooo tired

We also went to the Acevedo Schiesel's household to celebrate Tia Mavy's birthday. good times were had by all...I always enjoy spending time with Baby Daniela.

Here I am with my Tia Hannah. If you look in the background, you can see everyone else hanging out
And here I am with Daddy, Tia Hannah and Baby Daniela.
Hope you all had a nice week

Talking

Another bad cell phone video. This time she is talking.


I will eventually post higher resolution videos, but right now she stops her tricks when she sees the video camera. Sadly, she is comfortable with the cell phone

Week 14 Part 1

I am not sure about this Bumbo. You sure it is safe?
Now that I am 3 months old, I am big enough to help make dinner. Here I am with the lasagna noodles
Get these lasagna noodles out of my sling!
The finished product, before baking...I am not allowed near hot things yet
If loving my lion so much is wrong, then I don't want to be right

I am 3 months old today

I am 3 months old today. Look how big I am
And look how cute I am when I sneezeHey mom, we almost done here?Ok, I will just relax while you finish
Oh, look a dress
Ok mom, seriously, this is ridiculous. Stop with the photoshoot already

Week 13

Hi everyone

I am going to be 3 months old soon (on Tuesday). Time sure is flying. It makes me tired to think of all I have learned in 3 short months

And this is what I look like after I am overtired, have had a screaming episode and then crash from sheer exhaustion. If you look closely, my face is tear-stained. I am really good at fighting naps and then getting pissed off about itEarly in the week, my mom went to have lunch with her boss (Max) and co-worker (Aymen). When they started talking science, i took a little nap just sitting there. I am just not ready yet to talk fitting routines...maybe next weekHere are me, my mom, max and aymen (& the laptop computer)I also went to a playgroup picnic on Saturday. There was one little girl that was a full month younger than me but about about a pound heavier. I am such a little peanut. Here I am in my sling...like a peanut in a shell
Lastly, I had a visit from the Jost Vuono family on Saturday. This photo was very hard to take because the boys were not cooperating. They would rather play than have their photo taken. it was nice of them to visit and they brought me a cool gift...a growth chart to keep track of how I grow through the years. That is all I have for this week. We will update again soon!

PS Happy Birthday Nona (It was on Friday, October 19th)

Laughing

Ignore mom's annoying voice and the quality of the video (it is from her cell phone). But she caught me laughing

Weeks11&12

Sorry we haven't been updating recently. Life is busy and all that.

We went to see Gram and Grandpa last week. I had fun (as long as I was fed and not overtired). I also got to see Great Grandma and teh Great Aunts and Uncles. Unfortunately, I do not have any photos of them. But here areteh photos I do have:




I am a big girl now sitting in my Bumbo

And a video of me playing with my lion while I get changed



I also laughed this week. Unfortunately, there was no video camera in sight. My mom is now following me around with a camera. It is annoying so I refuse to perform
