Kandids

We have taken many good pictures of and with Audrina over the past 6 months, but for her 1/2 year birthday I wanted to have something more professional done. So we packed up and headed off to Kiddie Kandids, with the idea that if she lost it and didn't want pictures taken, we would give up and head home... no high expectations.

But she did pretty well. Actually the pictures show that she did better than she actually did.

Couldn't get all 3 of us to smile at the same time. When trying to make a baby smile its hard to remember to look at the correct place and smile yourself.

After this picture she had had enough and was not willing to take one with just her Papa Bear... so next time we'll have to start with him!

6 months!

It is so hard to believe that 6 months has already passed, but it also seems like we have had Audrina in our life forever!

Similar to last weeks 'nice hats'. But this week Audrina is wearing her old Italian man hat.
We spent Audrina's 6 month birthday at the pool! The pool down the street from us has recently been remodeled, and I think we will be spending a lot of time there in the next few years.

For her first time in the water, she did very well. She only fussed for a couple of seconds and then figured out how to splash, and enjoyed being walked around.





We can't wait to go back next week!

Cuteness

Just some pics of all of Audrina's cuteness from earlier this week.

Pampering

On Saturday Zach surprised me with a day for the 2 of us at the spa! Much needed and appreciated. He even had roses waiting for me at the salon. Gram and Gramp Howard watched Drina for a few hours and had a great time with her. Overall, it was a great day.

Nice hats!
Yes, that is a Starbucks wrapper she is trying to crawl to... hmmm she must be mine.
Success! (I know its bad but she was determined, and loved it)
Thanks for the help Papa!

Happy 4th of July!

We hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Fun!

No longer a 'contemporary sitting room'!

LOL!

5 months old, yesterday...

I haven't updated the blog in quite a while, so I decided just to post a bunch of pictures from the past couple of weeks.
Work has been super busy. Audrina is doing great, getting bigger and doing more things everyday.

Zach and I are still doing well with our food program, 35 and 20 pounds! I'm proud of us for sticking with it... only weeks and weeks and weeks to go! 5 months! Really?
Look how small Zs getting!

KT, James and Jax came over the other day.
Audrina wasn't sure about this.
Yep, still not sure. James on the other hand... loves to grab for Audrina.
Yep, Audrina's not having it.


Imitating the face on her baby.

Papa Bear loves to kiss on her neck, she's getting really good and putting up with it... she may even like it!
Sitting on the patio in the evening has become a ritual.
