It's Spring!

Cristiano has no desire to crawl... just walk like his

Ate. They're already playing dress up.

We'll just need to keep an eye on Bella

to make sure she doesn't dress him up

in one of her old ballet outfits...

Bella took this pic outside our house over the

weekend. It was so beautiful outside. We're

all happliy sneezing now thanks to the

Oklahoma allergy season. But it's really great

to see the trees and tulips blooming.

A ride in the Escalade!

I didn't think this would happen so soon!

Bella took Cristiano out for a little ride down

the driveway (with a little help from dad

and mom of course). He's almost able

to sit up on his own... just a little weeble

wobble every now and then.

Weekend with la Familia...

A visit with Brandon and Kelsey

Bella LOVED her visit with Auntie to-be Kelsey

and the 2nd strongest man in the

world - Uncle Brandon. She didn't leave her side

for one minute (thanks Kels for letting her stick so

close to you...)

We had crab night with Brandon, Kelsey

and Bella's BFF Molly and family.

YUMM...

Cristiano and his entourage

Good night babies... after a long and

wonderful day!

Thank you Grandma for my Princess dress!

Julia and Bella at the park today... it was

a gorgeous day!

5 months old!!

5 months and growing strong! Shawn brought home

this outfit from his last trip.. way to go daddy!!

Latest accomplishements: DROOLING all over us

(no teeth yet but they're coming), turning over and

over.. and over, sings to himself, and loves to talk.

Playing with Bella and watching the newest

Barbie movie (Mariposa)!

I love to eat!!! (Oatmeal, Rice, Carrots,

Sweet Potatoes and Squash)... mom sneaks

in a smashed cherio into my mouth every

now and then.

My Artist

Bella's latest creation

She wants to be an artist when

she grows up...

Happy Valentines Day!!!

This Valentine's Day I decided to have

some pictures of the kids for Shawn... Bella did great, and

didn't tell daddy the surprise - Phew! For those of you

that don't know, Shawn's known what his Christmas

and birthday presents were before the holiday

because Bella gets so excited.

We love you daddy!!

My baby boy at 4 months!!

Shawn, as always, was as thoughtful as ever giving the kids

cards and chocolates for Valentines Day. I hope they

know and will remember how much he/we love them.

And I'm very much looking forward to my date night

with him...

4 Months Old!!!

Cristiano is 4 months old now and bursting out

of his newborn clothes. His next checkup with the doc

is on Friday and we'll know how much he weighs...

as well as get 5 more shots (poor baby). He's cooing

and loving to giggle... especially at Bella.

I love my Ate!

'Why can't I get these things into my mouth'

Cristiano is already using 'tools' (aka his

pant legs) to get at his feet. He almost got

his toe in his mouth over the weekend. Oh joy!

1st Day at the Park!

You probably can't tell by our 'heavy' attire that it

was a 75 degree day yesterday... We quickly shed

our pullovers and enjoyed an absolutely

beautiful day at the park!!! Needless to say

the kids went to bed early last night...

and so did I!

Bella climbing on the 'big' kid playground

'I love the swings'
Bella was kind enough to give me the 101
on how to make yourself go higher on the
swings without someone pushing you...
my little girl all grows up :)
