The back is the same design as the front but it doesn't have a picture and it says "Happy New Year, Feliz Ano Nuevo."

Pigtales, fish and love

Cali's First Pigtales... Isn't she cute?
Look at that perfect baby skin
Fish Love... After $50 worth of fish we finally have 4 fish that have stayed alive for more than a week so we have decided that it is time to name the fish. We are now taking name suggestions, please leave comments with your ideas.
I got a new flash for my camera and I was practicing on Dave... this was after he told me to stop with the flash.

They are so sweet... I love them so much.

How could i forget

She was so chubby... Is that 7 chins? and those legs

Only in America

Santa arrives in a Boeing 747...

And Cali still doesn't like him...

Longest weekend EVER

We took Cali to her 12 month appointment last week.
She weighs 21lbs 7oz (75%) and is 31 inches (97%). She got 5 shots! It was horrible because Dave made me hold her while she got her shots.
Unfortunately Cali got the flu shot and of course it made her sick. She woke up Saturday morning with 101 degree fever. She has never been sick.
She didn't nap at all on Saturday and didn't sleep well. She woke up at 6:45am on Sunday (she never wakes up that early). And she just got crankier. I gave her a bath that afternoon and she finally napped for about an hour, but after her nap it was all down hill. She couldn't fall asleep and when she did she should would sleep for an hour and wake up and cry for 2. We didn't go to sleep until 4am Monday morning. It was the longest night EVER. And of course Dave slept through the entire thing. He had no idea the night we had until I told him the next morning. She finally cut her fever and slept in until 11am. It was awful!
And what's an update without a picture.

YAY!!!!

I just got the best email!
They are reprinting our Christmas cards for FREE!! Woohooo!!!!!!!!!
Won't get them until next week but I'm okay with that!

I've kept you guys waiting long enough

I was so excited to get home today because our Christmas cards were waiting on the door step. So I rush in to open the package and well it turns out that somehow I messed up the order and they didn't turn out right. But they were so expensive that I'm going to have to send them out that way, which makes me really sad because I worked so hard on them. Oh well... But on to better things like the pictures we took when we were at Dave's Dads.
Please don't print these pictures they will turn out bad wait for the CDs to come in the mail... I will be mailing them out with our ruined Christmas Card, this weekend.

I think this is the cutest picture

It's HERE!

20x24 Canvas of Cali! I LOVE IT! It was a difficult decision deciding on a picture but I always kept coming back to this one so one night I just went for it and ordered it.

It's only the 3/4 inch canvas but I wasn't sure how much I would like it and I wanted to save some money. But next time I'm for sure getting the 1.5 inch


What do you think? Worth the money?

Family Pics

Well we were planning on having our family pictures done at the beach but because of the weather we had to cancel our session and continue to Plan B.
Here are a few of the outtakes...

The water is FREEZING cold!

Just in case you were wondering

We do brush Cali's hair... The reason her hair looked messy in the new pictures is because her headband kept moving and she kept trying to take it off.

Fun Saturday Afternoon

We took Cali to Sea World for the first time.. She enjoyed looking at the fish and Manatees
We didn't go to any of the shows because Cali can't sit still for more than 30 seconds. But we did go to the Sting Ray petting pond and she wanted to jump right in.

Saturday Mornings

How is it almost Thanksgiving!?

I will be sending Christmas Cards out within the next two weeks... I will also be including Cali's one-year-old pictures so if I don't have your address please let me know. Here's a sneak peak of her pictures.

So sad...

Look at how little our little monkey was... the other "baby" in the picture is my mom's doll. They brought her to the hospital when I had Cali and that doll was pass around all the nurses wanted to hold it and show it off to the other nurses.
She used to always pucker her lips it was so precious

Look at all that dark crazy hair
I miss my tiny little baby
More memories to come.

CAKE? WHAT? NO?

What's this?

This looks fun!

What the heck is this?

I don't like this! Why are you torturing me like this?

It's official Cali does not like icing!
