First Christmas gift ever!

This is for our friend Derina...thanks for the great gift!

Santa visit at the San Diego Zoo

We went to Jungle Bells at the zoo and saw Santa.  It was great, no line and we got to take pictures on our own cameras.  Ana did great, she didn’t freak out at all.

Ana is sitting really well.

Christmas card photo shoot

Now that the Christmas cards are out and received here are some more pictures from the day we took pictures.  Ana had a good time in the sand.  Also just as a status update, Ana is practicing sitting up.  She is pretty good but loses her balance after a while.

Thanksgiving 2009

We had our friends Jason, Taryn, Brian, Lindsay and Derina over for Thanksgiving.  Everyone brought such great food.  Ana sat at the head of the table and got lots of love.

Ana's first go at solid food!

Gail’s 50th B-Day visit to San Diego

Mom, Dad and Nanny visited for the last part of the week for Mom’s 50th birthday celebration.  They rented a nice condo in Mission Beach on the water.  Had a great time.  Ana even got to spend the night with Granddad and Bena while we got to go out and have a nice dinner.

Your JV champ

November 8, 2009

Today Ana rolled over! it was a stomach to back roll. You should have heard Sara!

Gross-est entry ever…..

This morning Ana was in a good mood.  Sara was in a good mood.  Your JV champ was in a good mood.  Ana and I continue to be in a good mood.  Sara…slightly less so.

Here’s what happened:

Act 1:  Tom feeds Ana bottle of formula at ~8:30 AM while Sara sleeps.

Act 2:  Sara awakens and plays with Ana.  Sara holds Ana up in air with two hands and Ana projectile vomits directly on Sara’s face, and yes, into her mouth!  Tom is on couch watching in horror and disgust.

Act 3:  Tom wipes Sara’s face off with his shirt.  She is retching.  Ana is smiling.  Tom is trying not to smile.  Parents reading this are now smiling.

Good times.

Ana's best halloween ever!

Pumpkin Patch Time!

Today was Ana's first visit to the pumpkin patch. We went to Lakeside which is way in East County San Diego. We got to "pick" our own pumpkin, saw some sheep and an angry emu, went through a sort of corn maze. Got some great pictures.

Grandma Teresa's visit

Grandma Teresa and Uncle Chandler came for a visit for Tom and Teresa's birthday. We went to SeaWorld and had a good time. Teresa got to stay home with Ana for two days, it was hard for her to leave.

Aggies game

Ana went to her first football game, Aggies vs SDSU. Too bad the Aggies lost. We tailgated before and as you can see that was a bit too much for her.

Here are pics scanned from our photos of Ana at 3mos. Enjoy!

Happy Ana

Took some great pictures of Ana being happy, she is all smiles lately and glad that I actually got some good pictures.

Last night we took Ana to her first Padres game. It was a really nice night and she handled the noise well. Chandler was in town and it was a great game, but of course the Pads blew it in the ninth. Oh well, the Friday Friarworks was a good show.

I stayed home today with Ana, so our big field trip was a brief trip to the hair cutters, which she slept through. Oh well, her loss. Here are the new goodies I promised from our summer 2009 family vacation to Big Bear.
