Grandma Comes to Town

My mom came to visit us this past week. It was so much fun to see her again and to show her around our new town we now call home. Marisa definetly enjoyed the extra attention and we both had no complaints on being spoiled! We hit several good malls and restaurants, went to the park, and basically laughed a lot and enjoyed each others company. We miss you already Grandma!

Grandma's favorite picture!

Being funny as always!

Miss Curiosity! Always wants to know what is going on.

Being Marisa! Waving her arms and being noisy!

Marisa loved Curious George that Grandma bought her!

We love you Grandma!

Happy Halloween!

We celebrated our first Halloween with Marisa last night. She was the cutest little Tigger! She fell asleep early into the night because she didn't take good naps in the day, but she was able to trick-or-treat at a few homes. Also, my mom came in the day before Halloween to visit us for about a week. We love having Grandma here!

6 month check-up

It's that time again! We went to the doctor's this morning and here is the update!

Weight: 15 pounds 10 1/2 ounces 49 percentile
Height: 26 1/4 inches 74 percentile
Head: 17 1/4 inches 76 percentile

Her head and weight went down on the chart since last visit but no concern there obviously. She is still healthy and happy!
The doctor was amazed that she was already commando crawling. He said I have an advanced little girl and congratulated me! I couldn't help but be proud of Marisa! =o)

Also, Marisa recently has started pulling this new face at random times. I don't know why she does it! I was able to get a picture of her doing it. I almost pee my pants everytime I look at this picture. What is she doing???

Lastly, yesterday I finished eating a box of Nerds and when I was done Marisa wanted the box. So I gave it to her thinking that in a few seconds I will take it away from her. But within seconds I had already forgotton. So....while I was turning off the TV and putting clothes away....she ate the flaps of the box!!!

I freaked out of course and put my finger in her mouth so I can feel for it and get it out but I was too late. Right when I took my finger out, she looked at me...and then swallowed. Oh geez!

I've been tagged!

I've been tagged, so here it goes!

The rules: Player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves, At the end of the post, player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and posts a comment letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read our blog for the rules.

1. I am totally OCD about my house. Everything has to be exactly in its place. I can tell if someone moves an item an inch to the left or right or whatever. It drives me crazy! I like to have a nice house with nice things and I basically like to have my house look like a display from a store. I don't know what I am going to do when I have several kids!

2. Speaking of stores, I am obsessed with Pottery Barn! I must admit, there are a few things that I can't get myself to buy because I think they are overpriced so I love to find a room I like from a PB catalog and copy it exactly by buying look-a-likes from Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, Bombay, etc. But there are definetly a few things from Pottery Barn that I HAVE to buy. Some things just can't be replaced.

3. I am also obsessed with Oprah! haha I know, wierd. I just wish I had her job!

4. Anyone that really knows me knows that I am addicted to juice. I literally crave it. I have to have it! I wake up wanting juice, I need juice with every meal, and even when I wake up in the middle of the night, I WANT JUICE! Tim says that all his hard earned money goes to juice but he loves milk just as much as I love juice, so we are even. =o)

5. Have any of you watched a movie and wished you had some of the powers/abilities that some of the characters have? Well, I have! For example, when I watched Catwoman, with Halle Barry, I really wished I could have her kick butt powers. When I watched Oceans 11, I wished I could be amazingly sneaking and clever like all those boys! When I read and watched Harry Potter, I wished I was wizard so I can do magic! And the lists goes on and on....haha.

6. And lastly, like most girls, I love shopping! If money weren't an issue I would seriously shop every single day of my life. That is one happy life! haha

Ok, I now tag...Megan Hilton, Kelsi Rose, Steph Rich, Kari Call, Sara Hart, and Emily Nelson. Have fun!

Yeah for Veggies!

Marisa has successfully completed all of her vegetables! Now I just have to make sure she eats her greens for the rest of her life. Tricky...

My sweetie eating Sweet Potatoes!

Happy 6 months!

Happy 6 month birthday Marisa!! This morning dad and I were in awe that we are parents of an absolute beautiful 6 month old baby girl! We LOVE you with all our hearts! MUAH!

Green Beans

Marisa's face after eating green beans for the first time. According to the face, she is either fully satisfied or she wants to puke. And I just want to eat up her cheeks!
