Short post

Ditto the previous post.

Lia was eating her toes in the nude yesterday.

I like this pictue for some reason. Maybe its the hair? :)

Kate and Lia

I love any picture of the two of these together. Lia loves her Aunt Kate like no other.
This one is especially good if I do say so myself. :)

Some pictures :)

Last night Lia took a bath and her Daddy watched her. I think its cute how he's perched in the tub instead of sitting on the toilet or something a little more comfy. :)

Pretty girlie!

"Mom! I'm working like Dad! Please don't take pictures of us... we're working hard and we're stressed!"

Sort of how Lia and I look after a nap, only we're both a little more blinky. Kate took the picture a few days ago. :)

Bad picture, cute idea :)

Lia loves purses so I let her play with one of mine. Chris had the brilliant idea to use it as transportation. I wish this picture was a little clearer!

Tired Baby

Lia always takes an afternoon nap, and I generally join her for the tail-end. We curl up on the couch under a blanket and just sleep for a half hour-hour. This afternoon there's a bit of heat in the air, and I think it made us both sleepy. I woke up and Lia was curled up against me, and her back was sweaty from being such a little heat seeking missle (not entire relevent, but every morning when we wake up with Lia in our bed, she's shoved Chris and I towards one side of the bed and she's in the middle with probably about ten times the room she needs on her other side). Anyhow... I woke up and me moving woke her up. She blinked slowly, and tried heroically to keep her eyes open but they fluttered shut. I got up and she giggled and opened her eyes again. (another side note; she dreams now! She giggles in her sleep, its the most adorable thing ever). So I picked her up and put her on my lap while I watched TV for a few minutes. I slowly felt her little head rest heavier and heavier on my arm. She had fallen asleep sitting upright in my lap with her head tilted towards the side. I wish I had a picture. She woke up again, so I brought her into the computer room and put her in her bouncy chair so I could check my email and I looked over and she was asleep again!!

She finally woke up and began flinging herself around in her chair. :)

Dad's coming home!

So I posted pictures of Lia yesterday waiting for her Dadddy and these are pictures of her as she sees him getting out of his car.

Playing with a box. She had just gotten her adorable little coverall and slippers from Auntie Ems and was having a ball with the box.

She caught sight of her Daddy!


Look how happy!! :)

Waiting for Daddy...

We've started a new tradition. Every night (or the ones where I'm not rushing around) when Chris calls and says he's on his way home, Lia and I go sit by the door. Sometimes we'll chill on the porch, other times (like tonight), Lia sits right in the doorway while I read a book next to her. She sings and babbles to herself, plays with my sunglasses, nibbles on my purse... And then we see Daddy. You should see Lia's eyes light up. Today, she was so happy to see her Daddy that she started jumping as high as she could and giving garbled squeals of excitement.

Swinging!

I know its been a while since I posted but we've been busy! And I had a card full of pictures but for some reason, my camera decided to eat them- I think it was because I didn't format it properly...

This is how Lia always looks when she's swinging- she loves it. She sticks her tongue out to taste the air rushing past.

THE cutest baby ever...

What's wrong with this picture?

Yes, so I'm biased. But I don't care. :) Lia is the most adorable, sweet little person ever. I mean, LOOK AT HER!! Isn't she cunning beyond words? These pictures were taken during our few days of 90+ degree weather.

Seriously, isn't she just too cute for words? Her round chubby cheeks, her cute little mouth, her button nose?

Beach again. :)

Lia and her dad walking towards the water.

That water's totally the right color! That's exactly what it looks like in Santa Cruz!

...

Yeah, okay, so I 'embellished' it a little in photoshop. :)

Lia playing in sand for the first time.
