Nearing 6 months old!

Hello

It's been crazy with the holidays and my 30th birthday this month. I'm in northern california for a couple of days. Just a quick trip for a friends surprise baby shower. It's a surprise for her and a surpsrise for us, since we just found out about it.

Mary's doing well. She's becoming more aware of her surroundings and gets separation anxiety now. Whenever I leave the room she cries. She can sit up well on her own now, but she's still figuring out how to crawl. She can use a high chair now and we've started feeding her rice cereal everyday. She can reach for and grab things pretty good now. And she doesn't like to go down for naps anymore.

We plan to visit back east and see Abuela and everyone in March around Eastertime. We even have an Easter dress for her and everything. Soon it will be Valentine's Day and I'd like to get some Valentine's pictures done for her 6 month birthday too.

Well it's been a while since my last post but I'll try and keep it up more often. Thanks for reading.

Mom and Mary Michelle

The New Year

Christmas and New Years have come and gone and now M&M is 5 months old. She laughs and giggles and responds to her name when you call her. Right now we just call her Mary because I think Mary Michelle might be a little long for her to respond to right now.

We saw the family for Chrsitmas and just stayed home for New Year's. Rich is back to work today too after getting 2 weeks off for family leave to spend time with M&M. I also turn 30 this month on the 22nd and we plan to go to Disneyland. A lot of friends are coming out including my mom and Peas. Diane and Peas will be flying in from Oregon and we're all going to go. Peas just turned 1 year old on the 3rd too so that'll be an extra present for her.

I bet before we know it we'll be celebrating Mary's 1st birthday. We plan to go to Disneyland again for that. (We got season passes so we hope to get use out of them.)

Keeping you updated, Mom
