10 months old

I am 10 months old today. I am crawling all over the house and I am getting quite fast. There is no stopping me now. I always want to be around my mom so I go look for her. I no longer military crawl since I learned how to super crawl. I still like to pick things up of the floor and put them in my mouth. I like to get into all the toy boxes, take toys out and scatter them all over the floor. I love playing with my sisters. They still love to play with me too. They think I am their doll. I am starting to use my voice more and scream when I want something. My mom is telling me that I need to use my words but they just dont come out yet. I prefer to scream and grunt. If my sister takes a toy from me, I scream at her and I will cry. I LOVE to eat! I eat practically everything that is put in front of me. I love regular food like brocolli, beans, potatoes, ground beef, soups, cereal, tortillas, rice, some fruit only, and all the baby food. I can eat and eat. My favorite drink is breast milk. I finally am taking swigs of diluted apple juice. I am a true youngest child because I still wont hold my own bottle. What for ha? My grandma still holds it for me so there is no need. I am still napping 3x a day and my night-time sleeping is finally improving. I have now started to sleep until 5 am every other night. My mom feeds me and puts me right back to bed and sometimes sleep until 8am. On the other days, I still wake up 2x a night but it is getting much better. Everyone really loves me and holds me all the time. They think I am great. I am a very happy baby.

Hanford Grandparents and Cousins

I still cant get over how lucky our kids are to have such an amazing family. They have great grandparents that truly care and love them. You just cant ask for anything more.

Party time

We were so lucky to have Dominic and Savannah over this weekend so they could come with us to an amazing birthday party. The kids had a blast. It was a carnival theme and they went all out! It was a great day.

Sailing

Little by little Robert and I are getting out without the kids. We had a great time today on a little sailing trip with the Nagpals. The weather was nice, the company was great and the food was tasty. Looking forward to more kid-free excapes :)

Karina 9 months old

I'm 9 months old today. I am a cute and cuddly little girl. I love to smile and laugh and play with my sisters. I can stand and play on my play table. I can move from one table to the next. I crawl on all 4's also. I still like to military crawl but I am able to switch back and forth. I LOVE to eat almost everything. The only thing I detest is formula. My mom has tried giving it to me a few times and I push her away. Only breast milk for me I say! I love beans, rice, tofu soup, chicken soup, cherrios, puffs, bannanas, fruit and bread. I sort of like baby food but not as much as the real thing. I still dont sleep very well at night and I still wake up once or twice. My mom doesnt like it. She thinks I should be sleeping through the night now, I still think I'm a baby. They have a playpen for me in their bathroom when I wake up at 3 am and dont want to go back to sleep. They should just make that my room :) My family loves me though, they are very happy to have me around. I make their day!

Pretty ladies

Ok, I love the women in my life. Whether they are my kids, my mom, family members or friends, they are all wonderful. I am so blessed to be surrounded by strong beautiful women. We had our little 4th of July photo shoot today with the girls and my mom, they are so pretty.

Abue in bouncer

We had a bouncer at our house for the weekend so the girls got a lot of outdoor time these last few days. It was so fun. The best part was that my mom (Abue) got in with the girls and jumped away. Pretty cool to be able to do that at 60! What kid can say their grandma played in a bouncer with them? Ha ha.
