Melia's Blessing Day

Okay first off I took Melia's dress off of her before the pics were taken because she was so squirmy and I just had to. But we will have pics of her in her dress tomorrow!! It is such a beautiful dress and she looked so sweet in it. Steve gave Melia a beautiful blessing and I guess while was Melia was grabbing the Bishop's coat and touching his face. I guess it was hard for him not to laugh. She is just so curious and Steve was calling her a monkey...not during the blessing...b/c she always has to be hanging from something...a vine...necklace...you name it. Thank you so much for her wonderful blessing, Steve, and we can't wait to see you in a week.

Just an update

Well we weren't going to say anything to anyone in case it didn't happen but we are pretty confident now...thanks to cats. We decided that instead of looking for land to buy we would try to find an affordable house to buy in this area. We found a beautiful home in a gorgeous neighborhood only to hear that someone had already put an offer on it. We were so bummed but today we hear back that they withdrew it b/c the Homeowners Association says you can only have 2 cats and she has 3 so b/c of the cat we are now in there! So we put an offer in today so let's see what happens! We are totally excited and can't wait to hear back. We will keep you updated. Also...I was in our apartment gym super early this morning and this total weirdo of a lady that we see around here was walking on the treadmill. She had Mtv blasting and was walking like she was on a catwalk...she shouldn't be walking that. So she would all of a sudden do these weird arm dance moves almost knocking me off of the machine I was on next to her. The best part...she stops the treadmill and drops it like it's hot...Libby you know what I am saying! She did this over and over and then did some other crazy things you shouldn't be doing on a treadmill. Anyway...thought I would share that with you. Hope everyone is having a good week!!

Granddad and Melia

I love these pictures of Melia and Steve. This was the first time he met little Melia and they have loved getting to know each other. Thank you so much for coming to San Antonio!!

Family Week-end

Nana and Granddad came in last Thursday night and Jeni, Newbs and Natalie came in Friday. We had had so much fun! Melia had her blessing on Sunday and Steve gave her the most beautiful blessing. I don't have any pics of her in her blessing dress but I will! We went swiimg a few times and just hung out and let the babies play. Natalie is so adorable and Melia had fun bouncing off the wall next to her. Hey Jeni you should get Nat a jumper...she totally loved Melia's. Nana and Granddad leave tomorrow and we will be so sad. :( I have a ton of pics but here are a few to hold you over!

Why can't I hear her?

So even though our apartment is small I sometimes use the monitor during the day so I don't miss her talking to herself and cooing at the butterflies on her wall. Well it had been awhile since she had gone down for her nap so I crept in there to find her playing with her monitor. Somehow she unplugged it and was gnawing on it! She makes me laugh!

Today at the Target I was playing with a retractable walking stick and swinging it around and it shot out of the sleeve and flew about 30 feet FAST almost spearing a little mexican girl! Robyn and I almost starting laughing so hard that we knew that we would get busted. So we ran to the next isle so nobody would see who did it... Next time I wont miss. !!! JUST KIDDING, no but seriously I won't!

No food for me!

Melia loves her highchair...just not to eat in.
She will even wipe her mouth...pretending she ate her food.
Want to play with my toys, Mommy?
NO! I will not eat that gross rice cereal mush!

Hanging with Daddy

Here is Melia hanging out with her Daddy just chillin. She loves to just stare at him and try to figure out what he is doing...usually being silly.

Wanna Ride?

Yo, Pops! You wanna ride?
Seriously, I am not going to wait all day!
Cruising in the Jeep!!

Trying to walk

feet play

Watch your hair!

Here is a pic of Melia in her new fav place to be...either behind my head or Daddy's. She loves to pull at my hair and squeal with delight as I cry in pain! She has a strong grip. But she loves it...she tries to pull at Daddy's hair but he keeps shaving it so she is really just giving him a scalp scratch! I want everyone to read Dan's racing blog about his race last night. He did AWESOME! I seriously almost threw up at the end of it b/c I ran so hard to the finish and was yelling so hard. He broke away and was ahead of everyone and was sprinting to the finish. It was so exciting and he totally motivates me to train hard! I won't say more b/c you should read about it from him. But I just want to say that I think that was the best I have seen him do. He was looking so strong out there. Melia and I are so proud!!!

The Spurs

Well its about time we posted something about this, and I don't know why I am doing it now, or even at all but we live in San Antonio and as most of you know the Spurs recently won the NBA championship for the fourth time. I just thought it would be interesting to know that people driving around still over a month later have their back windows in their cars painted up and they are still flying those window flags. So today's poll question is ... "How long should you wait to take down your teams flag and clean your windows? "

The Little Gym

We have been taking Melia to The Little Gym on Thursdays for the last 3 weeks. Her cousin Nash started going when he was 5 months and I was so hoping S.A. would have one! She is in the Bugs class and she is the youngest and smallest in the class but she loves it. She loves watching the older babies and she even has made a few friends. A little 9 month old crawled up to her last week and Melia was so happy. She was smiling and she was touching her face. Luckily the little girl didn't have hair b/c it would have been pulled on by Peanut. I love The LIttle Gym. I think it totally helps little ones with their strength and coordination. She loves to do rolls down the little triangle mat. She starts on her back then just log rolls slowly down. Maybe she will be a gymnast like her mommy?!

Melia's new love

Melia LOVES water bottles now. She loves to watch us drink from one while reaching up trying to grab it. I took these pics at Dan's last race. I told her it was too big for her to play with but obviously I was wrong. This was the sunset as we drive home from the race last Thursday. It was a fun race and we always love watching Daddy on his bike!

Babies R Us Rules!!

I have discovered Babies R Us and I love it! I have never been to one before being that there was only Wal Mart in Hilo for me to shop at for Melia! So I bought a few outfits for her and I thought I would post some pics of a few of them. I love dressing up my little girl!

Happy Fourth of July!!!

We are out and about today enjoying the 4th! Here is a pic of Melia in her parade vehicle. It is a Jeep.

Just some pics

These pics were taken a week or so ago but I thought I would share them with everyone. She loves to suck on as many fingers as she can fit in her tiny mouth...well she likes to suck on amything she can get her hands on actually! I can't believe it has been 4 months since she was born!
