Rianna was not super thrilled to be on Santa's lap, but I think he's already forgiven her. (=

Play Time

Happy Halloween

Isn't she the cutest Minnie Mouse?

Rianna's 1st Meal

So cool! On Rianna's 6 month birthday, we celebrated by intoducing her to the world of solid foods. She really loved it! Sal and I did too. We could hardly wait to give her something other than a bottle. It was a little messy, but not terrible. I'm sure the big mess will come when she'll insist on holding the spoon herself. I hope you enjoy the pics.

Rianna's Baptism

Okay, I'm finally posting Rianna's Baptism photos...3 months later. The day went well, minus one small hiccup....Father Ben was a "no show". Luckily for us, there was another priest on hand and he did the ceremony for us. After church we went back to the house for a little fun.

Bath Time

She loves her baths!!

5 Months Old

Video Clip

Enjoy short video of our little Munchkin.

4 Months old

Our little princess is four months old. We just had her checkup and she weighed in at 16 lbs. 14.5 oz. Might as well call it an even 17 lbs., which puts her in the 97th percentile. She is 25.5" long. She is a big girl.

She is doing well and is very healthy, however we have discovered that she is allergic to dairy. Poor baby. As a result, I have cut all forms of dairy and soy out of my diet. This has been a challenge for sure. I can't even have food that has been prepared with butter. The hope is that she will outgrow this allergy within the next 6 months. I sure hope she does. The doctor told me that her ethnicity works in her favor..interesting.

Miss Rianna has mastered a plethora of new tricks. She now giggles, coos, grabs her toes and puts anything and everything in her mouth. She is on the verge of rolling over. I'm sure that will happen within the next few days. She'll stand and take baby steps with a little help from Mom and Dad.

Happy 3rd Month Birthday Rianna!!!

Such an angel! ;)

12 weeks and already the boss (=

So our little one will be 12 weeks old on the 5th. How can 12 weeks have gone by already? I can hardly believe it.

She has changed so much in such a small amount of time. Her little personality is really starting to show itself. She knows what she likes and what she doesn't like. She loves to be talked to, she likes her baths and most of all she likes to be held...ALL of the time. She doesn't care to be alone when she is awake and isn't too keen on car rides. Go figure...I thought all babies love the car. I guess I was wrong.

I went back to work yesterday. Not the greatest feeling to leave her, but she is in great hands with her Grandma Yolanda. We are very fortunate not to have to place her in a daycare facility.

Her last doctor appointment was about a week ago and she weighed 14lbs. 9oz. I'm sure she'll be over 16 pounds by her 4 month checkup. She eats like a champ.

Here are a few more pics.
