Chauncey, lately...

Chauncey got a new job at Thermo Fisher Scientific (I hope I spelled that right). He's been working there for about a month. It's a really good job. I am so grateful for him and all that he does for our little family. He goes to school and works, both full- time. I don't know how he does it, but he never complains. I don't know how to put into words how thankful I am for his hard work. I just love him more and more each day... I am so thankful that we can be an eternal family. I cannot picture my life without him, or even remember what it was like before I met him. I love you sooo much, baby!

Here are some dating pics:
Te amo, mi amor! ;) Thank you for all that you do!! MUAH! (kiss)

My little princess...

Wow!! I am way behind with this blogging thing. I'm definitely not the best blogger around ;)
Anyway, I have to update a little bit about Lucia... She is trying really hard to crawl... super cute! She can't figure out how to crawl the "right way." Instead, she gets on her hands and knees and hops! I have to record her. I've been a bit lazy with my camera. It ran out of batteries! No excuse... I must get new batteries so I can capture these cute Lucia moments :).

I love her so much. She makes my day so much better. I wake up so tired each morning because I have to wake up with her in the middle of the night. But when she just starts jumping over me on the bed... I truly forget how tired I am and just enjoy her and all her new little things! I promise I will put up new pictures soon! In the mean time, I have some really cute pictures of our beautiful little girl!She just LOVES to smile at the camera. She could be crying, but as soon as I say "smile... a picture!" she looks at the camera and gives me a huge smile! So adorable!


I really love her eyes in this picture. She has beautiful long eye lashes and big blue eyes.

I think this picture is soooo cute! She fell asleep while mommy and daddy went skiing. She stayed with Jolene. Thank you!!
"I'm gonna getcha!!" She loves to hold her binky. She takes it out, plays with it for a little bit, and puts it back in her mouth!
Trying to crawl. This was the beginning! She is almost an expert now!

I love you my little princess!!

It's snowy outside!

Yesterday was a nice snowy day. Chauncey came home from school and work early, so we decided to take Lucia outside for a few minutes to play in the snow. That way we could also take some pictures of her in it (for scrapbooking... if I ever get to it)! She was so happy in the snow! I guess it felt good on her skin when the cold flakes touched her face. SO cuuuuute!

Here is a picture of her and daddy :
Here's one of her and mommy:We took a cute close-up of lil' Lucia,

and her over Chauncey's snow angel! (BTW- I tried turning the pic... sorry)

A New Obsession!

Lucia's newest obsession is.... taking a bath!! Every day Lucia takes a bath at around noon. Now's that she's sitting with little support, she's been enjoying her warm baths while playing with her toys and splashing water everywhere with her hands!! It's soooo cute to watch. Two days ago I noticed she would cry once I pulled her out. And I thought 'could she really be crying because she didn't want her bath to be over?' So, I decided to do a little experiment. Everytime I brought her closer to her bath tub, she would start laughing and smiling with excitement, also trying to reach into the water! When I took her away fromt the water... she began to cry again!!! Today, I put her down to get her bath ready, and when she saw me walk in with the bath tub, she started kicking and getting all excited! She was also doing this as I undressed her for her bath. Finally I sat her in her little tub, and she was HAPPY as can be! She absolutely loves her bath!!! Here's a pic of her enjoying her bath (she might not look like she's enjoying it, but she loves it!):

3 months old!!

Lucia's 3 months old!!!! She's such a sweet baby! She's smiling more each day and is reacting to the TV. We should probably watch less of it... I've got a couple of pictures of her at 3 months




It's getting cold, so mommy makes her wear big coats and stuff...

....annnnnd... one of her favorite things to do... READ!!! She's a smarty :)

This was her "I wonder who's watching" look. Up next is her "oh! it's you, mamma... can I help you?" little attitude:

And my favorite of all.... She thinks about what she reads!!!! Gotta love it!!! She enjoys reading,
just like her aunt Amelia :)

We love ours baby girl soooo much and enjoy learning about her and her cute little personality! She brings so much joy to our lives and feel so blessed to have her!!

Lucia and daddy

Here's a cute little video that shows how much Lucia loves her daddy... She's all smiles!!!



Here's a pic of Lucia taking a nap with daddy:

My First Blog

So... I've noticed that everyone has a blog, and I think it's a really nice way to keep in touch with family and friends everywhere! As you could have already imagined my first post will be about our new baby girl, Lucia (who knows... maybe all posts will be about her).
Today I was looking at some pictures of our new baby in the computer. She's grown sooooo much in the last two months!!! I don't think you realize how much your baby has grown until you see before and after pics. Here's a picture of her at the hospital, with daddy:

Now, here's a picture of her at one month:


Cute, huh??? So finally, here she is at her current age... Lucia at 2 months:

So you see... Lucia's getting older, bigger, and stronger. And we're enjoying every minute of it!!! She's so much fun! She loves to play with daddy when he gets home, and gets excited when she hears his voice. They both connect really well. We try to keep her awake from 7-10pm every day so that she can sleep most of the night. Almost that whole time Chauncey's playing with her and making baby noises at her, like "agaaa" or "gaaaa." It's hilarious and extremely cute.

Anyway, like I said, it's my first post and I promise to post more. But I think I'm done for now :).
