My first video post

This is Vanessa doing the chicken dance at the Real Soccer game on July 3rd. Our pre-4th party. She loved the lights, hated the fireworks.
Um...video post taking ten years to load...

Vanessa's "newborn" pictures

Live and Learn. Next time I'll know to do these a lot earlier, like two weeks. She wasn't as cooperative at six weeks. They still turned out amazing though. These are the only ones we've seen so far, my cousin took them and is still working on the rest. Her website is littledreamerstudios.com. She is amazing.

Randomness and pictures of Vanessa

I loved this outfit. It's getting small now though. I can't believe she is already outgrowing her newborn clothes! Thanks Steph for the gift :)




Vanessa is a pretty good sleeper. She does still prefer her belly and she still sleeps with us at night sometimes, more for my own sanity than her lack of willingness to sleep in the crib. I really enjoy my sleep. But isn't it so cute when she takes naps with daddy?!

She smiles all the time and we absoutely love it. She even coos. I'll put a video up sometime. I have to learn how first :)

Fourth of July

She was very patriotic and did great hanging out at the parade all day!

Vanessa's Blessing

We blessed Vanessa at my parents home on Father's Day, June 21st. Jon gave an amazing blessing. He is such an amazing person. I love him more everyday. Vanessa is a really happy baby but for some reason, she was not happy this day. She is crying in all her pictures, except the one where we finally got her to sleep for a few minutes...thanks Matthew :) She hasn't had a day like that since so I don't know what it was. Maybe the dress was itchy...
