the happiest of birthdays

becoming a mom = best gift ever
i had a fabulous day with my two favorite people
i mean, look at this face,
does it get any cuter?
(it's the bubble blowing face)
sushi lunch has become a birthday tradition
it was delicious
32 years old
this is going to be an amazing year
asha, sporting her
pink tutu from auntie heidi,
trying out the bumbo
if asha ever has a need of a
native american name
it could be "lamb covers her head"
the cutest little face
i think i may have already posted
this one ... i must really love it!
don't you just want to squeeze those
arms and legs??
this is how we hang on sunday morningsjust kickin back with her legs crossedasha's exciting and new talent is blowing bubbles.
we have lots of pictures of her performing
this marvelous act, but they all look like she's about to ralph.

we thought this picture was hilarious
her left arm looks so posed!
can't you just hear deb saying
"alright...now gently rest your left hand on your knee
and your right hand on your belly...ok, perfect"

drumroll please ....

this little beauty
weighs: 14.05 lbs
is 24 1/2 in. long
and heroically received her
immunizations without shedding a tear
hooray!
she still prefers the jig
to all the other dance moves she knows
but, most of all, she likes to show
off her perfect little thighs and her
rolling skills
she has fallen in love with this little
lamby (always in the crook of her arm:)
we think it was the secret to her
immunization success!

and we continue to fall
more and more in love with her!

four glorious months

lookin good in maddie's swimming suit!
the twins
she recently realized that she likes to sit
up on her own
don't you just want to kiss those lips?!
after a good nap, she is all smiles
it's the greatest sight in the world

while i work a four hour shift on friday nights
jon takes asha on little dates
last friday they took a walk to the museum and had a photo shoot
the pictures turned out beautifully
she sure loves her dad


i am in love with her little furrowed brow

4 months already?
she has her checkup tomorrow
can't wait to see how much this little hooligan has grown

¡veni, veni, canta conmigo!

copa america
argentina advances
asha's sweet jersey from the dibb's
one sweet night

asha finally met her
argentine 'abuelos' here in north carolina
the quintero family

sister quintero had to explain to her that
she was just a little too young for mate
we ate choripan, drank mate,
and enjoyed some argentine fútbol
with great friends

some of my favorites ...


featuring our makeshift mobile
(it's tied to our ceiling fan!)

but this is really what she's been up to ...

so close!
