Arielle 4.5 months!!!

She's getting so big - laughing and giggling now. She's grabbing toys and re-acting to faces and her brother and very attatched to Mommy. She says, "Ma ma" when she wants Mommmy. She is shy of strangers and sometimes anyone other than Mommy - what a Mommy's girl! Mommy is soaking it in and loving up her little chubbi-ness!!

Just a couple more pics

I have taken a lot of pictures of my baby girl, this for a few reasons:

For one I know that she is growing so fast and I just don't want to miss anything because I know her baby-hood will be gone before I can blink. I also am trying to take pictures of all the cute adorable outfits she's wearing - she grows out of them so fast!

I try to take pictures of Nathanael whenever I can also but he doesn't have as many "cute" outfits yet - he's growing out of his 2ts and I haven't bought many new 3ts for him. He also tends (as boys do) to be quite messy often and I like for my children to look clean in at least the majority of their pictures. However - I have been able to take pictures of him just more recently..... despite the fake "shyness" he's had in the past - he now asks, "I want to say cheese mommy", meaning that he wants his picture taken and usually with his sister. He's realized that it's a way she is getting attention so he now wants to join in. So we may end up with more pictures of Nathanael now that he thinks it's a positive thing!! Yeah!



The above photo: This little dress and sweater was given to Arielle by a friend at church.

Mt. Rubido again - we like this trail!!

Mommy, Nathanael and Arielle walked (ummm - Arielle didn't walk - she was pushed in the stroller) to the 1/2 mile marker = a one mile walk. We left just as is began to rain. It was cloudy and we could see the dark clouds coming closer as the storm approached - but for us it was as fun as a sunny CA day! Glad we got our walk in because it rained for a couple days after that.

Park day

A few pictures from the other day at the park:


This one of Nathanael at bottom of the slide - sniffle - when his hair was longer.






Sling baby!





And one of my favorite most recent pictures of Arielle:

Some new pictures... look how big the children are!

Growing like, or rather, blossoming like little flowers in our garden!

Nathanael with his twin cousins Andrew and Layla.

A friend gave us this outfit for Arielle and it says "Fresh from the 'done bun' bakery" - thought that was funny since she really was a "done" bun - almost 42 weeks!



Arielle in her little sweater dress and my FAVORITE hat of hers:





This one of Nathanael and Arielle shows Nathanael's new shorter hair:



She's teething already!


Cute overalls! Thanks (my) Auntie!
