Art Walk

Stopping to smell the roses!

Bianca and Brody

We went with our friends, Jeff and Tina, and their son, Castor, to an art walk in Summerlin over the weekend. It was such a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun just checking out the different vendors' work. Of course, we couldn't help but stop in at a children's boutique in the area and pick up the CUTEST bikini for Bianca along with a matching coverup. We went back to Jeff and Tina's after the art walk and Biana and Castor got in some quality play time.

Bianca and I also had the opportunity to visit with, Jen, one of my friends from Alcon, and meet her son, Brody, over the weekend. He was such a big boy for being only 16 months old and a total cutie pie!

On the Move

Bianca started rolling all over the place this past week. I leave her in our room on the floor with her toys for a few minutes and come back to find her in a completely different spot. I have a feeling things are going to get much busier around here soon! She can sit up a little bit on her own now but, she prefers to stand (with someone's help, of course!) or roll around on her belly. She has also started blowing raspberries recently, which cracks us up. It is so amazing to watch her change on a daily basis!

4 Month Update

Future Husbands?

Bianca became 4 months old on April 6... boy, how time flies! We took her to the doctor last week for her check-up (and some yucky vaccines). She now weighs 13 lbs. 6 ounces (50% percentile) and was a little more than 24.25" (50% percentile). Her poor little head is now in the 10% percentile but, the doctor said not to worry, she just has a little head. He kept commenting on how happy and smart she was, which made us feel really good!

Farnoosh and Tanya, Mark's cousins, came to visit for a little while recently. We were all so happy to see them for the short time they were with us.

Bianca and I also had a playdate with Traci and the Usher boys recently. They are definitely breaking Bianca into their world of trucks, bikes, basketball, etc.... all the things that little boys like! The boys are all very sweet with Bianca and take good care of her. The twins were even able to hold her on their laps for a picture in their PJs before bedtime!

3 Month Pictures!

Jennifer Wilson did it again! She took some amazing pictures of Bianca when she was 3 months old and they can now be viewed at www.jenniferwilsonphoto.com/bianca . You may need to wait a minute or two for the slide show to load. Enjoy!

First Purse

Mark, Bianca, and I went shopping over the weekend. We went to check out a beautiful new outdoor mall, Towne Square, and we also did some shopping at Boca Park. Well, a baby girl needs a purse when she is out shopping, right? Thank goodness Uncle Jim and Aunt Chara sent her an adorable Louis Vuitton for Christmas. Okay, it is not an authentic Louis Vuitton but, don't tell Bianca that. She loves it! She hasn't quite figured out the purpose of the purse other than to chew on it yet though. Let's hope that it stays that way for a while!

Hanging Out with Family

Daddy time!

We were fortunate to have Bianca's Aunt Andrea and Uncle Alan come to visit us this past weekend all the way from New Jersey! We had lots of fun just hanging out, watching movies and the NCAA tournament, and eating lots of Mark's delicious cooking. Can't wait to see you guys again! Bianca asks that you please bring her two favorite cousins, Aidan and Atlee, with you next time!

Ladies in the Yellow Dresses - Stacey, Bianca and Heather

Bianca has had a busy past few days. She went with me to Mark's office to hang out while I had my teeth cleaned last Thursday. She had her picture taken with the Easter bunny on Friday followed by a b-b-q at the Ushers. On Saturday, Bianca finally got to meet baby Castor and she had lots of fun playing in his Exersaucer. She had so much fun that we decided to put the one that we had for her together at home. On Sunday we had a wonderful Easter including lots of yummy food and an Easter egg hunt with the Marnells and their friends and family. Phew! No wonder why Bianca has been sleeping so well lately!
