So tired...

Genevieve you were so tired tonight! You fell asleep nursing on my lap just like you use to when you were a baby. I just watched you sleep for the longest time, such a cutie. When you were a little baby (instead of the big baby you are now) I use to sing you a song that I would make up the words to a little different each time, but here is the general verse:

Sleepy time, say good night, to my little baby Genevieve
How I love you Genevieve, you are so special to Mommy
Now close your eyes and go to sleep, go to sleep for your Mommy
You won't be cranky, if you go to sleep, go nite nite baby girl

No song writing awards here, but it calmed you down!

USC Baby!

Today you looked so cute in your USC shirt and gray sweatpants. Daddy even had the same outfit on as you! The cooler weather lets us pull out some of your shirts you haven't got a chance to wear over the summer before you outgrow them. Looks like you are ready for some football!

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh

I love you Genevieve, I never take for granted looking down and seeing you hug my legs or you rush me when I come in the door after a day at work. You are so little and your heart is so big, I love you, I love you, I love you! 

New Balance Shoes

Today Grandma watched you and came home with a new pair of shoes! Grandma took you to the New Balance outlet and bought you a very nice and sturdy pair of tennis shoes. You can really move in those things!

Fun with Your One Class

Monday is when Grandma takes you to your Fun with Your One class at the City of Upland. After a few weeks there you are starting to get the hang of things. Grandma says you still don't like the part when you have to put your toys away. You are starting to like sitting the parachute and getting twirled around by all the moms and grandmas. Also you love bubbles! You even can say bubbles, what a smart baby!

Oak Glen with the Maynards

The Maynard family invited us to join them for a day of fun at Oak Glen. After a few false starts getting up there we met up with them at Oak Tree Farms and boy was it crowded! Who knew apples would draw such a large crowd! We looked around, ate, took photos and looked around some more. We had a good time and you wore both yourself and Mommy out. You looked so cute in your overalls walking around. In addition to be being cute they helped when you took a few soft tumbles on the dirt. You declared no harm no foul because you could brush the dirt right off and keep on moving (moving indeed!).

A Day in LA, Genevieve stays home with Daddy

Grandpa Gino and I went to LA today to do a tour on the Black Dahila. We took the metrolink out and had a good time looking around downtown LA. You meanwhile stayed with Daddy for the day. He took good care of you and you both came to pick me up from the metorlink station in the evening. I had a nice day relaxing but still missed my little Genevieve...
