9 Month Pictures

Bianca's nine month pictures are now available to view at www.jenniferwilsonphoto.com/bianca . As always, thanks to Jen for more beautiful pictures of our little angel!

Walkin' Woman

Well, not quite yet by herself but, she loves to walk with this Leapfrog push toy (courtesy of her Mimi!) Sorry that some of the videos are sideways, I couldn't figure out how to turn them around. Go, Bianca, go!

Also, big news... Bianca cut her first tooth earlier this week! It is on the bottom right-hand side.

And from behind so you can see her cute little legs in motion...

Happy Birthday, Castor!

Castor turned one on Saturday and the Schoors had a party at their house to celebrate. While we were there Bianca had lots of fun. She played in the pool of balls with Riley, pulled around a bouquet of balloons, had an adorable pink balloon flower made for her, and received a big hug from Francesca. She was having such a good time that she wouldn't really look at the camera while we were taking pictures - too many distractions!

Riley is getting so big and SO cute!

Francesca loves to give Bianca hugs... it is really sweet!

Paper cups - yummy?

Happy Birthday, CJ!

Children's Discovery Museum

With temperatures still relatively high out here, Tina and I decided to take Bianca and CJ to the LIED Children's Discovery Museum. The kids had a lot of fun exploring in the desert oasis exhibit. They were also entertained watching some of the other exhibits that they were too little to participate in just yet like making ice cream, creating large bubbles, etc. It was definitely a nice break from the heat and something the kids should enjoy for years to come!

9 Month Update: Bianca now weighs 17.4 lbs (25% percentile) and is 28 inches long (55% percentile).

Behind door #2 is... a turtle!

Looking at the bats and birds hanging from the mobile above.

Our baby is getting sooo big!

Hi, Castor!

California Girl

Well, you had to figure that it wouldn't be long until we were back to CA again with so many of our friends and family members out there. Bianca had a fantastic time helping her Grandmom Zarin in the garden... actually "help" may not be the best word to describe what she did to some of the roses but, she had a great time and no one seemed to mind. She loved the cool weather and the ocean air! We were also really fortunate to spend time with my dear friend, Becky, who lives out in Virginia. She was in town with her boyfriend visiting some of his friends/family and we were able to coordinate our trips. This was the first time Bianca was able to meet her "Aunt" Becky and she loved her as much as we all do. In addition, Mark and I were able to go out together and leave the little munchkin with her grandparents over the course of the weekend, which is always such a blessing for the two of us. None of us can wait to head back out again!

Just a couple cute videos of our little munchkin in action... Enjoy!
