Just like Carmen

Valencia kinda has a thing for shoes. Every morning she crawls into the closet and plays with my shoes. Lucky for us she gets lots of hand me downs from her friend Chloe.

Spoon

Most of the time Valencia is a great eater. Sometimes she just wants to play with the spoon.

Fetch

Since Abbot isn't a big fan of doing anything other then eating and sleeping. I decided to teach Valencia how to fetch. She's great at going and getting the ball but we have some work to do on the bringing it back part.

Tea Party

Today Valencia had a tea party with her friend Chloe. She was also a big help baby proofing our bedroom. Now while we're getting ready for work in the morning she a can crawl all over the place.

Charlie time

Today Valencia had a play date with Charlie. They had a great time.

Daydreaming

Looking out the window and wondering what the world tastes like.

Upgrade

Valencia is getting bigger and her feet are starting to hang off the end of her car seat. Since her new one is big enough to support Auntie Jenna were thinking it will last longer then her old one.

Book Group

Valencia played pass the baby at book group tonight. Here she is with Nancy

Happy Birthday Grandpa

Warm ups

Looks like she will be crawling very soon. For now we can just enjoy her getting in the starting position. As soon as the gun goes off she rocks back and forth then falls to her belly.

I'm so excited

When Valencia woke up this morning she was so exited she through her hands in the air. Noni is coming home today!!!!!

Hanging with Mama

Valencia spent the entire day with her Mama. No work, just play

I'm a good helper

After crawling into the closet this morning to pick out what we should wear today Valencia was off to work with Mama. She was a hit with the girls and gave Mama a "hand" with her work at the "spine" doc.

Day off

Thursday's are the best

She's getting so big

Crawling all over the house, waving bye bye, standing in her crib. I guess it was just a matter of time before she started reading her own bedtime story

Valentine's Day

Valencia's 1st Valentine's day was very entertaining. She got her 1st Valentine from Aunt Shirley, it was delicious like most things. Crawled up in and around the base of her command center. Mama gave her one of her favorite books from when she was little, The animals who changed their colors. Thank you EBay. Then she stood up on her own in her crib, thus having it changed to the lower position. I wonder what will happen tomorrow.

Grandma's got this

Valencia stayed home and played with Grandma today. She had a blast playing, sleeping and eating lots. Grandma read her some stories and showed her how to check her baby "O" with a flash light to see how her teeth are coming in, just like we do to Valencia.
