Happy EARLY Halloween!

Mommy was way too excited and had to take pictures of Katalia in her 1st halloween costume. Can you guess what she is?







"I'm going to sting you!"



Katalia chattin' with her tita T:

Later that afternoon, little girl went missing. She became brave enough to venture out into other rooms in the house (including closets). Mommy found her in the master bedroom closet playing with Daddy's ties.



After chasing the speedy gonzales, Mommy buckled Katalia into her new carseat (haha just kidding, try this at your own risk):

Little girl buckling herself in-



"I'm a big girl now!"



Video of Katalia with the giggles:

Another day of photos

Mommy had a little down time to take some photos of the little girl:







Katalia listening to daddy on the phone:

38 weeks!

Katalia & Mommy visited Daddy at work and enjoyed a wonderful "hospital" lunch. haha



Afterwards, Katalia insisted on having apple and prune juice.. of course while driving:

Video of Katalia giving fives:



Later that evening, Mommy & Daddy found the Real Madrid onesie (size 6 mths) that Auntie M bought Katalia. It made little girl look a little tomboy-ish so they decided to add an undershirt and a pair of jeans. Well that didn't make her look any better. So they finally added a bow and gave up. haha

"Cooper, that's my onesie you're wearing!"



Our happy "tomboy-looking" little girl:



the little soccer player:

Who does she learn these funny faces from?

Our silly little girl and her many faces (yes, mostly with her tongue sticking out):











Is it Cooper?



.. or Daddy?

37 weeks!

Katalia celebrated 37 weeks in a "gotta-wear-it-(first time) outfit-before-it-gets-any-smaller":

The goofy little girl:



The start of a roll..



.. rolling ..



.. almost there ..



.. all done!



"Rolling over makes you dizzy!"



Katalia checking out Daddy's Real Madrid soccer ball (yes, it needs air):





Why buy toys for your baby? (just kidding!)



Another of our goofy baby:

The very sunny park

Katalia and family decided to check out the park, but they didn't last very long. The sun was extremely bright putting little girl to sleep.

"It's a beautiful morning in this neighborhood.. a beautiful morning to SWING!"



"The sun is making me sleepy"



Later that evening, Katalia tried to teeth on her wagon wheels and cool off her gummies at the same time:

All we need is a corona lite tree

Katalia was excited to see lime on her lime tree this morning! Now if only they had a corona lite tree... Mommy & Daddy would trade the grapefruit tree any day.



Miss the "sleeping baby" pictures? Little girl napping:



"I'm not napping! I'm up!"



"What's the plan today?"



Later that evening, Katalia cooled off her gummies:



(still no teeth)



That night Katalia had fun taking a bite out of Mr. Whale and well, wearing whale pjs:

Mr. Pig or Grandparents?

Video of Katalia choosing between playing peek-a-boo with Grandma & Grandpa or with Mr. Pig:



Afterwards, Katalia perfected her splits:

Mommy's new toy - 1st attempt

Mommy was too lazy to read the manual (who has time to read a manual with a mobile baby anyway? haha).

Our little sunshine:



8 months and still no teeth:





Our little gymnast showing off her splits:



Cooper wanting "in" the photo shoot:

Happy Anniversary to Mommy & Daddy!

Mommy & Daddy celebrated their anniversary with Katalia in tow. They enjoyed a nice dinner that included kobe sliders and sushi! yum!



Afterwards, Daddy surprised Mommy with a gift.. can you guess?

Mommy & Daddy trying to take a family photo with the 2 kiddos:

"Daddy, who ya looking at?"



"Oh!... mr. camera"!

The growing baby

Katalia has perrr-fected her sippy cup abilities:



The attack of the toy bin:



".. i think i'll play with mr. hippo.."



".. nahh, on second thought, maybe the bugs..."



".. nah... how about the bin itself!"



"i didn't make a messy mess.. cooper did it!"



Video of Katalia making a messy mess:



--later that afternoon, the babysitter came by.. she just didn't know it.. :) --



until NOW :)

36 Weeks!

Katalia celebrated 36 weeks country style!

"I promise I won't roll over!"



"Scooby and I meet ear to ear!"







"Hmm, I think my jeans are too short"

She sits pretty...

Mama & Daddy are happy to see that Katalia sits pretty when watching her favorite show (Little Einsteins)...



.. well, until she see's the camera out.



"Daddy, watcha watchin'?"



"Mama, I don't like ESPN"



--Later that evening, Katalia had her 1st taste of wagon wheels--

"What's this"?



"mmm.. yummy!"

The Ballerina

Katalia was given two nicknames in her class. "Pumpkin" for being the smallest baby and "the ballerina" for cruising on her toes.



"Let's read the National Geographic magazine!"

Happy 8 months!

Mama & Daddy can't believe little girl is 8 months old! :( :)

"Hmm, let's see. What if I push this button?"



"What? It's not a toy?"



"Are you sure?"



"Can I play with the camera then?"



"I'll just play with the drawer instead!"
