Happy Birthday Mom

Happy Birthday Mom!

I wish you were here and we could all celebrate your birthday together. I know how much you would have enjoyed celebrating with your granddaughters.

I miss you! I miss you more than words could ever explain.

I love you and I love my little girl just like you loved me.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a very busy and FUN Memorial Day Weekend. Saturday we had Jay, Christi, Chris and Mary over with their kids. We had a great time. All of the kids played so nice together. Monday we went to the Turtle Back Zoo with Jay, Christi and their boys. Another great day. I'll post pictures from both below.

Here's a video of Genevieve talking to me Saturday Morning

From Saturday

Genevieve, Julia, & John

I think she really wanted some pizza

How cute is this? Lucas & Julia holding hands!

Pictures from the zoo

And I'll leave you with a few giggles from the most tickelish baby

Happy Birthday Brian!

Happy 35th Birthday Brian!
Here's Genevieve and the present she bought her Daddy.






Later she got hungry and snacked on her toes

Aquarium

We went to the boardwalk & aquarium today with John, Phyllis, Sierra, & Zach.
Genevieve really seemed to enjoy the aquarium.

Here she is posing as a seal


Zach, Sierra, & Genevieve

First time in the big stroller (Thanks Joanna & Chris)!

My favorite picture from this weekend

Bloated

Ever feel completely full and bloated after a big meal?
Does your belly feel like this?

Have you ever seen such a ridiculous belly?

Mother's Day

Today was my first Mother's Day. It's the first Mother's Day in seven years thta I have something to celebrate. It was a really nice day. We went to brunch at Genevieve's God Parent's house (Joanna & Chris). Genevieve made me a wall hanging at daycare on Friday and a card (see pics below). She (and Brian) got me a heart locket with all three of our birthstones inside. It's beautiful.


I hoped this Mother's Day would be a little easier than the last seven but I think it was actually harder. Not that I don't miss my Mom everyday but today I missed her more than ever. I kept thinking of how nice it would be for the three of us to celebrate today together. I'm sorry for my Mom and for Genevieve that they'll never get to get to know each other. And for whoever actually reads this, sorry to be a downer but I had to get that out.


This is what Genevieve made me in daycare. She was the only baby that didn't cry when they painted her feet.

She wanted to eat the box before giving it to me.

This is the locket, bad picture but you get the idea.

Uncle Joe & Aunt Rosanna

Hanna & Genevieve

Saturday was Hanna's first Communion.

Vizzle..opps I mean Genevieve posing for a caricature.

FIVE Months Old! (and 5 days)

Wow we have a five month old! Funny thing is we still don't feel like parents :-) I don't think that's a bad thing!

Everything was great at her 5 month dr visit.

She gained 1/2 a pound since last month, now 15 pounds (50th percentile) and grew 3/4 of an inch, now 25 3/4 inches (85 percentile).

Five Months Old

Four Months Old

Three Months Old

Two Months Old

One Month Old

And here's a picture of her sleeping the other night. Does this look comfortable?

All Dressed Up

Sierra's Communion was on Saturday. It was a great excuse to for Genevieve to wear a pretty dress. Sierra looked so beautiful like the little princess that she is. I'll post a picture when I get one from Phyllis. Unfortunately, I forgot to get a picture of Sierra and Genevieve together.

Here's G in her party dress complete with a little pink hairbow.


She's ready for a her close up


Almost ready to go to bed

She's not interested in food but she's figured out how to drink out of a cup!

A few random funny faces.



And we'll leave you with a BIG SMILE!
