Auntie Kellie lives in LA!

We were so excited to have another relative move closer to us and couldn't wait to greet her and soon to be Uncle Chris. We had so much fun. Here is a clip:

An Evening in Coronado...

... with the best picnic dinner ever! We had Mahi-mahi, salad, rice with curry sauce, homemade peach pie and a live band. It was a so divine, but the best part was being in Coronado with the family, some friends and having Julia prepare all the details.

Thanks Julia.

Curtis had a bit of a rough time and just after he fell asleep I decided we needed some pictures so here they are.

See what a good sport Curtis is,

and Jeremy too.

Meet Grace McKenna Walton

We were so excited to meet Grace at one day old. She was born August 24th at about 9:45am. She weighed in at 7 lbs 12 oz and 20 inches long. I'm amazed at how well the family is doing after just one day, especially Jamie. I'm sure Grace being as wonderful as she is, had something to do with it.
It was so sweet to see the Waltons calm and amazed by their new little girl. We are so proud of them. For further updates and more pictures of this gorgeous little girl, check out the Waltons blog.

And now a word from our sponsors...

Stephanie has been trying to get me to post on this thing for quite some time now, and I have finally caved in. Unfortunately I don't have anything interesting to say, however the good news is I have some cool videos:

Curtis stands!

and then...

Curtis rolls over!

Note: Curtis's first ever unassisted rollover was accomplished only seconds before the one you see here. We also plan to be there with camera ready for his first words, first Nobel Prize and first discovery of a new chemical element.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUTHIE!!!

Here is a short video in your celebration.

I hope you find me talking and trying to keep my cool entertaining.
We hope you have a Happy one!

A Day at the Parks

No, this is not a postcard. Julie, Janey, Curtis and I had a wonderful picnic at the Cove and on our walk we spotted these lovely ladies with their umbrellas. At first I thought they were umbrella hats, but they are just little umbrellas from the Dollar Tree store. Their good find turned into my favorite photo of the day. I was so excited when I spotted them I had to take a picture before talking with them.

These two lovely ladies were good enough to sport a baby sling I made in Fall of 2007. I must say you both look absolutely radiant with my sling. Oh, by the way Curtis HATES it. Apparently, he doesn't like Italian Smocking. Thanks ladies.After our fabulous afternoon at the cove we decided to extend our fun into the late hours of the evening (8pm) with Jeremy and head over to Balboa Park for a Movie in the Park. We watched Bye Bye Birdie. It was something I had been meaning to do for years. I was a fun, fun, fun day. And finally a photo with me in it to prove it.

It's a Janey Celebration!

On August ninth, we had a fabulous day with the our beloved friends and their new addition to the family. Meet Janey, at 6 weeks, celebrating her birth on the 28th of June, at 7 lbs. 1 oz. and reaching 18 inches long. This precious little girl is loved by all, but you could tell her heart is with her Momma. Way to go guys!

A Balancing Act

Here is some Father-Son Time around the house.

CODE BROWN!

During a routine diaper change, I realized that Curtis skipped his bath the previous day and knew that our evening was going to get busy. I decide mid-change that I would just start his bath then. I picked up the bare-bummed boy and headed over to start the bath. I got out his baby bath seat and placed him in it next to the tub to start the bath water. As soon as I set him down he pooped in it. I froze shocked at what could have happened and gathered my thoughts of how I could successfully clean up this mess and the boy without getting it all over me. I ran him under the faucet and then held him face out against my hip as I rinsed off the bath seat. I was almost done when I noticed he wasn't. He had gone all over my side. And no, not number one.

The 100th Percentile

For Curtis' whole life (2mths) people have been asking his age followed by the question of weight. Once they get the low down on him they make comments like, "Wooow, he is like in the 100th percentile!"
Well, come to find out at the Doctor's office today there is no 100th percentile, only 95 percentile, which he is for height and weight. This chubby like monster of joy weighted in at 14lbs 8oz on an empty stomach, with a height of 24 3/4 inches. However his head is only in the 70th percentile. But no worries there because I'm convinced that it just means he won't have a big head when all of his intelligence starts revealing itself to the world, making him a well rounded individual. Dr. M. even said he was very well rounded. It doesn't matter that he was just referring to his head shape.

Comical Bloody Murder

After the Dr. M's inspection of lil' Mr. Wonderful, we waited around to get our two month stabbing of diseases. I don't think Curtis quite new what was occuring. When the nurse walked in the room Curtis became very flirty and started chatting it up this the nurse as she was trying to give him some clear delicious liquid vaccine. He continued to chat it up and flirt even while she prepped the band aids. I thought for sure that there was going to be a date. But then things went horribly wrong as soon as she started stabbing him over and over. He shrieked bloody murder, also known as one continuous WWwwwwaaaaaahhh, and got super red in the face. I could tell he thought twice about how much he liked her after that. I hadn't seen or heard him cry like that since birth. He looked like a newborn again. I couldn't help but laugh a little. Right now he is in the recovery room sleeping off the battle wounds (His crib).
Oh and by the way, Curtis setup a Date but it's been postponed until he turns 4mths. I think he is hoping to be able to sit up by then in order to flirt properly.

For Your Sake and Our Sanity

As of two months ago another love of my life entered not only into this world, but into my family. I find myself constantly thinking "Oh how wondrous and precious this moment is... I'll never forget it." Only to find myself thinking five minutes later the same exact thing. So that is was this blog is mainly about. Our little family randomly recording life's little experiences from our point of view, without having to discern hard facts. Similar to today's News. Another reason is to allow extended family and friends in on our life haps. So feel free to comment away. But remember our bias opinion of how wonderfully fabulous our family is is in no way meant to discredit yours.

Another reason for this blog is I have next to me every single day a handsomely, hottie of a husband; along with this adorably, cute and precious little baby with hardly a photo to prove it. I achingly wish for a permanent photographer to digitally record our family moments for us, but with personal regret and justly anxious relatives, I have come to the realization that I'm going to need to hone in on my artistic skills and snap more than a few shots myself. I hope this blog does not disappoint.

Sad but True Confession:
I have never, yes I said never, printed a digital photo in my entire life. I have owned a digital camera since 2001. It was a 2.0 mega pixel.
And so with that confession the picture taking and printing marathon begins.
