Practice

Michaela is heading back to work next week so we had a practice run this morning. 8:00am and Grandpa and Noni were ready to go. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our little Cia.

On the road again

Today Valencia imagined that she was traveling in a covered wagon with a few friends.

Hippies

Valencia also made friends with Finley. They were both rocking sweet harnesses.

Lots of babies

We had our 1st baby class tonight. It was fun to see everyone from the child birth classes we took now that all the babies are born. Valencia may have found her first boyfriend, Charlie.

Shopping & Lunch

After Valencia's fashion show we headed out to pick up a few things. Lovely afternoon in Boulder.

What are these and what should I do with them?

Valencia wanted to try on her new pony hair D&G kicks. It took her a while to decide where they fit best. She finally settled on her feet.

Wake up / go to sleep

Valencia makes very funny faces and movements when she is waking up. When she's asleep You can make all the funny faces and move her however you want and she won't wake up.

Weeeeeee

Today Valencia pretended to go down a slide. From the look on her face I'd say it was a fast one.

Welcome home Noni

Nice evening with Grandpa and Noni. Valencia enjoyed some harness free time.

book group

Michaela had book group tonight so I went along to do some shopping. They only had one Valencia left and so I snatched her up.

You can take the girl out of the harness

But you can't take the harness out of the girl

hungy hungry Valencia

Valencia must be going through a growth spurt today because she was eating like crazy. And after she eats she's extra happy.

I want my mommy

Abbot and I were on our own for a few hours today. The first 30 minutes were great, followed by two hours of an inconsolable Valencia. As soon as Michaela got home, let's just say her shirt says it all.

Good morning

Valencia is always happy first thing in the morning. In other news Abbot is getting real good at letting us know when she needs her diaper changed.

One armed bandit

Valencia was to the hip doc today and everything is looking good.

Dinner

I had the day off and we were having so much fun we didn't want to take the time to cook so we went out.

Produce day!!!!

Every Wednesday we get a bag of produce from a local organic farm. Today Valencia and Abbot helped wash it. Valencia really liked the purple veggies and Abbot thinks it's his all you can eat buffet.

Shoe hound

Valencia took a nap with some of her shoes today. Then went to see Dr. Tom. She has a special connection with him since he was the first person to see her back when she was the size of a poppy seed.

Growing up

In just the last few days Valencia has really started to understand the world around her. She can hear things, focus on us and other objects but still can't find her thumb.

Happy Birthday

Today Valencia got to spend the afternoon at Vespers 1st b-day and hang with her friend Jonah. It was perfect weather with just enough rain to keep it cool.
