5 months old

Cami turned 5 months old yesterday! She is a sweetie - loves holding onto toys, loves her sister, daddy of course, and Rosco. She is sleeping through the night, takes 6 bottles a day (5 ounces each) and isn't eating food yet. She loves her jumperoo and excersaucer. She's very alert of her surroundings and an overall happy little thing. She takes lots of little short naps throughout the day and still loves the Bjorn. She sits in the BOB without the infant seat now, holds her head up, rolls all around and sits on her own a little, but usually needs me to prop her up.

Grace is at Disneyland today with Nana & Papa and their friends the Sarracino's and their grand-daughter Bella who is the same age as Grace. Cami and I did some damage at Nordstrom this morning :) Grace is my little angel lately. It took her awhile to adjust to Cami (she was mad at me & acting out somewhat), but she is definitely doing well now and the two girls already love eachother so much. Mike, my best friend Kristyn, and I have a 10k run next weekend in Dana Point so we're gearing up for that. Mike just returned from a trip to Vegas for work and we have a few upcoming trips to Palm Springs so it's a fun time around here....always busy :)

Baby B

Today we had a baby shower brunch for Julie at El Torito Grill in Newport to celebrate Baby B's upcoming arrival. Julie looks great and her little girl Olivia is going to be a great big sister! It was so fun catching-up with the girls. We used to hang out all the time 'pk' (pre-kids) but life with little ones keeps everyone busy these days and we don't get together as often as we'd like unfortunately. All of these girls have at least one little girl!! :) Gone are the 'ole party weekends....except for the occasional champagne brunch or playdates :) Can't wait to meet Baby B who is due to enter the world in late April, congrats Julie!

Rice Cereal

Last weekend, Grace and I tried to feed Cami rice cereal just for fun. This is how it went.... at first she looked interested:
Guess we'll be waiting a few weeks since she clearly was not as excited as Grace and I were about it.

Eminem

Grace and I were watching Rhianna and Eminem's grammy performance today on YouTube and Grace said "who's that?" pointing to Eminem. I said "that's Eminem". She said, "I love eating M&M's mommy!"

I'd like to be here right now....

Going thru old pics and found this - Lanai - Honeymoon, 2004. Ahhh, looks divine. It would be even better with Grace and Camryn :) Hopefully next year.

This was my favorite pic of Mike and I. Can I get the body & tan back please? ha ha.

4 Months Old

Cami is officially 4 months old! Our little newborn is disappearing on us but she is entering a wonderful stage. She holds her head up when we carry her now and coos & laughs. She's grabbing her toys and is getting more interactive with people. Still very smiley, Cami is a HUGE fan of the Baby Bjorn and loves to be held. She's about 17 lbs already!!! We just introduced the exersaucer and jumpy swing this week. She's still a bit small and wobbly for them, but enjoys standing-up right and exploring the toys with a little more freedom. A few more weeks and she'll probably be ready for the Jumperoo. Grace loooooooved her jumperoo :) We haven't introduced rice cereal yet because the doctor said to wait a few weeks since she's already sleeping thru the night, but that will be our next big adventure. Grace is a super big sister! Here's Grace with her bitty baby Ellie.....and Cami in the jumpy.
