Tiny people everywhere

Valencia was very excited to meet all her cousins. I don't think she had any idea how much fun they would be.

I don't want to go to bed

Valencia must be excited to see everyone tomorrow.

Xboxin'

Valencia played Xbox for the first time today with aunt Jenna. I'm sure she found the controller delicious.

Wrap it up

Today Valencia learned the art of gift wrapping. Then she finally got to meet her Uncle Michael who is down from South Dakota for a visit.

Art & Family

Today the Loveland Art museum was open so Valencia went with her Mama, it's no MOMA but still pretty good. Then it was off to Noni's to hang with Auntie Jenna and Cristobal.

Black Friday here we come

Actually Valencia and Michaela went to the art museum which was closed for thanksgiving. Good part Cia had a much needed nap in the car.

Eleanor the 2nd and 3rd

Valencia finally got to meet her Aunt Jenna who's in all the way from Hawaii. Thought thanksgiving dinner was delicious then was ready for Uncle Daniel to put her to bed.

Thanksgiving

Valencia's 1st T-Day was a blast. She helped make a pie, watched the parade and waited for everyone to arrive.

Beam me up, Grandma Mindy

Ok Grandma Mindy you can play with me in the command center but just to be clear, Abbot is Spock and I'm Captain Kirk.
Happy 65th anniversary Great Grandma and Grandfather

Where's the beef?

One of Valencia's favorite things to do in the evening is watch me make dinner. She sits in her bouncer and keeps an eye on everything that's going on. Next step teaching her how to do the dishes.

Give me that

Valencia really likes to go to Noni's in the morning. She enjoys getting in her car seat with a pacifier and her giraffe Stan. This morning she didn't wait to get in her seat before grabbing her pacifier.

Command Center

Valencia spent a lot of time in her command center today. She spins around and takes charge of the house. Mostly spinning to keep an eye on Abbot and taking charge by throwing things and making us pick them up.

Hangin' with the boys

Valencia had a play date with Charlie and Mason today. She had a blast and thought they were almost as much fun to play with as her feet.

Practice

Tastes like milk on a spoon

Holy crap you have a lot of hair

Tonight Valencia was just hanging with her posse, Jonah, Vesper, Hannah.

So warm and fuzzy

Thank you Gwen Stefani

This thing is delicious

At least it's something she's actually supposed to put in her mouth this time.

With a tip of the hat

After a ruff day at Noni's Valencia was really happy to see me. Or she just wanted to play with my hat, I'm not sure.

I can help

Christmas is coming early this year so we went over to Grandpa and Noni's to help get ready. We didn't get much done because we were all to distracted by Valencia and how cute she was in this little dress. Thanks Kirsta, Ryan, Riley, Addison and Giavanna. We have been waiting for Valencia to fit into the dress.

Hi Kim

Tonight Valencia hung out with some of Michaela's friends. I think Kim my have been a little excited to see her.

New tricks

Today Valencia learned how to take her socks off, with her mouth.

Hey watch this

I bet I can fit this whole thing in my mouth. Or atleast try.

Valencia Eleanor

Let's roll

Valencia usually likes to go for car rides. Since the time change she's been mad as heck on the ride home in the dark. Once she's back in the house she's all smiles again.

This is the life

After a fun day playing with Noni, Valencia relaxed with warm bath and some chill time in her favorite chair.

Sunday Sunday Sunday

Today we headed out to get supplies for Noni and Grandpa's house. Noni really wanted a jumper for Valencia. Grandpa said we don't need one of those she can just hang out on top of the fridge.

Cup of joe

Valencia had a hard time waking up this morning. But after a cup of coffee she had the energy to get dolled up and floss her gums in front of the mirror. She had to be at her best for her play date with Charlie.

Shiny happy people

Valencia is extra happy in the morning and from the look of it so is Michaela. Later Valencia chilled in her new knit cowboy boots from Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Larry. Then she practiced flashing some gang signs.
