Reading a book

Just reading a book with Dad although I am more interested in Dad's face than the book.

I fell asleep during tummy time watching tv.

Here I am asleep with dad again.

Uncle Dylan came to visit me last week.

Mom got out the stuffed butterfly dad bought me and I love it. I am learning how to touch things and the neck on the butterfly is soooo soft.

Just talking away and getting a little agitated because I am sure nobody is listening to me right now.

I am watching the new Tinkerbell movie daddy bought me. I really like all the bright colors and sparkles.

Just showing off my jean dress. I have so many outfits I have to try and wear them all before I outgrow them.

She is tired but won't sleep so I stuck her in her swing hoping that would help, but it didn't. She is getting so big. She is 12 weeks old now and probably around 13lbs. I guess our parents weren't lying when they said we grew up so fast. I now have a greater understanding.

Halloween

All dressed up for Halloween with no where to go. She was so cute in her costume but still too little to trick or treat. Aunt Victoria brought us some candy though. We didn't get to carve our pumpkin either, but maybe next year.

Just wearing the sweatsuit that Aunt Victoria bought me. Could I look any cuter?

Just sittin pretty.

Butterfly

She loves to watch the butterflies that spin above her papasan swing. It is so fun to watch her.

The Girls

Great Grandma, Grandma and Great Aunt Kim came to visit us.
It is almost a generational picture of the women but we are missing
about 4 of us. It was a nice weekend to have them visit.

So Happy

I was telling her how pretty she was and by the looks on her face I think she enjoyed hearing that. I am sure that is the Leo in her. Doesn't it just make you want to smile?

Sleepy time

Grandpa Dino came to visit. When she wasn't eating she spent the whole day sleeping on Grandpa's belly. I think Grandpa spent some of that time sleeping too.

Daddy fell asleep with Ivy after work. Mom got a little break to take a bath.

Daddy and Ivy

We were so busy taking pictures of everyone else with Ivy that we forgot to get some with Dad. Look their hair matches.

The beautiful flowers that were sent from the office girls after Ivy was born

Uncle Dylan

Little uncle Dylan holding his new niece.

What a doll

Isn't she so pretty? She looks like a baby doll.

Toes spread wide

Look at those tiny litttle feet. My cousin asked if her toes spread wide and later that night she was spreading her toes; so we took a picture to send him.

Grandpa

Grandpa Dino is holding her. He is comparing how big is hand is compared to her. He is pretty excited to be a grandpa.

First day home

Here she is all dolled up and ready to go home from the hospital. What a prescious and tiny little thing.

Birthday

August 13th 2008. Our little Ivy Jewel has come into our world at 7lbs and 2 oz. We have been waiting for this day for a long time. She is so perfect.
