A Play Date with Friends!

We went on a playdate and visited with our friend Charlie! Amaya looks so tired because she wasn't really into napping that day but I think she enjoyed herself nonetheless.

First time on the Swings!

On a sunny day last week, we decided to take Amaya and the doggies to the local park. I got over my germ fears and set her on the swings and watched Amaya scream and smile with delight. Her hair looked so funny, since it has been growing longer these days it was flying everywhere. I love catching her "firsts" on camera to share with everyone.

Amaya loves daddy's hats and his iphone

Here are a few pictures I took of Amaya wearing my beanie. She also has it in her head that my iPhone is something that needs to be chewed on.

Amaya gets her first taste of puffs

Amaya is eating solids about twice a day now, and I have been bugging Tiffany for me to let her try some finger foods. So far we have given her apple slices and pear slices, and for the most part she just sucks all the juice out of them and then gets mad when you take away the warm gooey mess she left behind. Well the other day I was finishing up giving her some squash and decided to let her try some of the puffs. The puffs came courtesy of Aunt Crystal. She made a few faces, but eventually started to grab at them and shove her hand into her mouth so she could get to them.

Sunday Morning Smiles...

Today was a really rainy cold morning so instead of rushing to get ready to do the various tasks we try to accomplish on the weekends, we just enjoyed family time today. I took these pictures a few minutes after she got up from her morning nap. It's so hard to describe how happy this little girl makes me. Her smiles just make me instantly feel better. If I could bottle it up I would....



I'm looking at you looking at me.....








Funny little girl.

A New Toy

Amaya's pink music table came in and we set it up for her to play with. She seems interested in it and would prefer to stand and play instead of sitting down!

but I think that Amaya is officially too big for this bouncy chair!

8 months Today!

8 months today! I would stop and cry but since Amaya takes that opportunity to try to break out the front door I won't ;)

Our lovebug is doing really good. She just ate pears for the first time and after a few weird faces decided she really liked it. The transition to the bed is getting easier! The last few nights she slept in until 5 and 6 am! I think the sleep strike is over, thank goodness. I think it was a slow process of me letting her soothe herself with her lovie and having the patience to let her drift back off to sleep. Sure we have to listen to her say "MMMMBBAAAAAHHHHHHHH" but that's ok maybe she is trying to explain to her lovie that they both have to go back to sleep!

This month are goals are to get to that Gymboree class, regularly attend our mom's group and storytime and to convince Daddy that we should try out swim class!
