I Can't Keep My Eyes Off Her!!

For 2 reasons: She's just too stinkin cute and she crawls at lightning speed. This girl pulls herself up on everything and surfs around the furniture like it's nothing! These next couple pics I thought were hilarious because she just sat there like "What do you want?" She must have relaxed on that boppy pillow with her bottle for like 20 minutes straight. She loves her feet right now too so she had to throw that up there for at least one of the pics.

It's no mystery that Janeta has enough hair for a couple babies combined but I had to throw this one in because her hair is literally pulled up like this half the time because I can't

keep it back any other way. This is the smile I'm always trying to capture and I seem to always miss it...so here it is...simply priceless.

Videos of Janeta

This video is of Janeta "prancing" down the hall. She cracks me up and continues to be so stinking cute!

This one is of Janeta playing with her activity center. She is so active and inquisitive right now. I love this stage!

Finally some Christmas Pics!

I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to post Christmas pictures but we have spent basically the last 3 weeks fighting off sickness. I started off going to the hospital with the stomach flu. I was then taking Janeta to the hospital 3 days later. Now Mateo is fighting bronchitis. I'm officially sick of me and my family being sick!! I actually felt somewhat okay on Christmas and loved every second of seeing my babies enjoy the true Christmas spirit though. Mateo waking up to find that Santa had left him a note. I guess the elf on the shelf that reported back to Santa on Christmas eve mentioned that he had been a good boy. He also realized that Santa drank the milk and ate 2 cookies but left a part of one...
So he figured he should probably finish the cookie for Santa.

Mateo checking out his stocking. You gotta love the snow monster from Rudolph.

Janeta opening her stocking. Santa had to give her a hello kitty rattle of course :)Who doesn't love a bike from Santa that is personalized with stickers?

Janeta opening her first present. I think all babies love ripping paper!

I love this pic because these are the presents that they hand-picked for each other. Janeta and mommy got a purse lol!

My baby girl playing with her wooden activity center from Santa. She loves this thing!

Rub a dub dub, One princess in a sink

Ok, because as you fellow bloggers know, when you upload pics they basically show up in backwards order so the bath pics are last. This first pic is Mateo just cracking up because Janeta crawled under her exosaucer to eat her cracker and just chilled there like that was exactly what an almost 7 month old girl was supposed to do. Janeta loves to grab anything within reach, especially faces. Her cousin Diego loves to make her smile and she in turn loves to grab his cheeks when he smiles!

I had posted pictures of Mateo when he woke up at this same age (6-7 months) and they do almost the exact same thing. Janeta will peer out and start a game of peekaboo and carry on a full conversation as if someone is on the recieving end of the communication. She just melts my heart.

Ok finally, the bath pics. I have officially switched Janeta to the sink because it's just the perfect size. I was just waiting on her ability to sit up well. I lover her chubs too!

Gotta love that head of hair. I can now put it in a ponytail!!

6 month stats!

Janeta is now 15 pounds 9 ounces and 26 1/2 inches long. She's crawling everywhere and still melts my heart each and every day. I can't believe I even doubted that I could love anyone as much as Mateo!

Here are the serious and happy faces from Janeta. Mateo shows me his serious face quite often now. We had such a good time in Big Bear and are SO looking forward to the holiday season!!

Superman, Kitty, and a Milestone

So Mateo had said he wanted to be every superhero in the book as well as an assortment of Star Wars characters so we were super excited when he LOVED his superman costume. He hasn't really wanted to take it off. He was spinning webs like a true superhero! Janeta enjoyed her kitty costume as well. We rehearsed before the big day so Mateo knew exactly what to say at each doorstep. Trick or Treat and Thankyou very much... As you can see from the picture below Janeta is enamoured by her big brother.


So just in the last couple weeks, Janeta has started to roll over both ways and now she is crawling. Well it's the commando scoot as I like to call it but she is completely mobile now! Here is a video of her latest milestone and Mateo in his undies (we still haven't mastered the whole potty training thing!!).

Yummy For My Tummy

So we decided to let Janeta try rice cereal. She got most of it on herself rather than in her mouth but it was sure cute to watch. Brother Mateo loved being my little helper and is always playing an active role in Janeta's care.

Because she already has 2 teeth coming in, chewing on the spoon was just the ticket!
What is this stuff and can someone get this crazy hair out of my eyes?

"Sister, do you want me to help you?"

Thumbs up mom! And it's off to the bath to clean up! I think I've used a whole bottle of baby shampoo on this girl's head!
