Another Happy Birthday!

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to Alejandro! His birthday was yesterday! He is such an amazing and wonderful husband and a great and loving Dad! We hope that you have a great birthday week! Thank you for everything you do for us and hope that you have a great year! We love you!

Happy 1st Birthday Ana Bella

On September 14th we celebrate Ana Bella's first birthday! I can't believe a year has gone by! She is SO MUCH FUN! Ana Bella is full of personality and definitely keeps us on our toes! She is doing so much and I feel like she learns something new every day! We can't wait to see what the next year holds! Here are some pictures from her big day!

Hope you have a minute....or two

So it has been a while since I have posted anything! Here are some pictures of what Ana Bella has been up to lately.....


My baby isn't a baby any more!
Walking around and showing off the new shoes
We went to walk the Big Dam Bridge
And to the Zoo
After bath time

Being silly...she makes so many faces

Playing Peek-a-Boo

Shout out to Aunt LeAnn

Big girl PJs

We used this moses basket a lot when Ana Bella was born, but once she started rolling over we stopped using it....she has now started climbing in and out of it and watching cartoons!!

Go Hogs Go

She loves to play under her highchair and the Jumperoo

Watching The Incredibles in her basket! She also loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Handy Manny

Watching TV w/Uncle Grant

Trying on Uncle Grant's Rookie of the Year belt

Even though we didn't go to the game...we still supported the Hogs!!
And decided to get Ana Bella's ears pierced!

She did so good. I cried more than she did!! They are so cute!

Trying to get a picture where you can see the ear rings!

Best I could do!!!

More pictures to come next week after Ana Bella's 1st Birthday!!!

July 2008

July has been a busy month! I feel like Ana Bella has gone from 0 to 60 in 2 seconds! She is a super crawler, is pulling up, feeding herself and talking all the time! She is so much fun, but quite a handful! I just love watching her discover new things! Here are a few pictures from the last month!


Just hanging out
Self feeding

Happy 4th of July (I couldn't get her to look at me, she's a bit hard headed like that)
Going for a swim at Lake DeGray. Todd and Grant got Ana Bella her mode of transportation for the weekend!!

Hello.....is anyone out there???

Adventures in Self Feeding....she LOVED the spaghetti!!! Maybe she just LOVED playing with it!

I just love this picutre!!!

One of her favorite places to pull up!!

9 Months Old!!

Ana Bella turned nine months on the 14th! I can't believe how fast it has gone by! She is starting to act and look like a little girl instead of a baby! Kind of sad, but this age is so much fun! We went today for Ana Bella's nine month check up and it went great! Here are a few stats on her:
-she weighs 19 lbs
-she is 27 inches long
-she started crawling last week and is already a pro!
-she can say her d's, m's, b's, g's and working on t's
-she is pulling to her knees, but not standing up yet
-she will go to anyone that wants to hold her and is a big flirt with the guys!
-she has 2 teeth on the bottom and seems to be working on a few more
-she loves the water! every time I have to get her out of the bath she throws the biggest fit and she loves swimming in the pool!
We are having so much fun watching her discover new things and developing her little personality!

Doing the splits! Maybe she will be a gymnast??
Fake crying!
This is what happens when we go to Todd's house!
Not wanting to sleep in the pack and play!
