Ayla Photo Shoot

My girlfriend Ellen asked if Ayla was the smiliest baby ever... Ha!
That's what the girls at daycare say, but we pay them to say that LOL.

My doll baby...

Xmas Decorating




We got our tree today and I also put up our outside lights, after a little bit of catch up with our neighbors. We're still getting back on schedule from the trip back east.
Once Bob put the lights on the tree, it only took me 2 movies to finish decorating it: Christmas Vacation and Love Actually. You know (side thought), we finally watched Four Christmases last night, after several people telling me that this movie reminds them of us. I appreciate that someone finally tried to capture what our holidays can be like in a movie, even if it was a caricature. Although I'd be lying if I didn't admit that Bob and I had almost broken up a couple times after driving to and fro x amount of holidays all across Pgh. And I'm still amazed how strong our relationship is after "40 Thanksgivings" (4 Thanksgivings x 10 years) but i digress... It was a funny movie and I'm glad that we can laugh about BOTH our families (if we couldn't I'd probably cry)
Anyway here are a couple snaps from today's holiday events:
Picking out the tree...


Ayla is already enthralled with the movie "Christmas Vacation"... Good girl! I'm serious she sat like this for at least 5 mins before I decided to pick up my phone!


Glowing!


Topped! Bob puts on the final touch.


'tis the season!!!! Xo everyone

Random update

Get your Ayla fill while I still sort pictures from our Pgh trip. We got home safe and on time, but poor Bob had to turn around and immediately get back on a plane for a business trip!

A picture from Dana's visit in Oct that she just shared


Picture for Daddy while he was away


Ayla helped me do laundry the other night


Kitty gets worried that Ayla has also now taken over his play toy (the laundry basket) he comes to investigate

Spooky Kooky Spider

Ayla's Grammy bought a spider costume for her this Halloween, unfortunately it arrived after she had left for daycare Halloween party. We dressed her as a leopard kitty (previous pics). So we decided to have her wear the spider on Sunday (actual Halloween). I think the costume arriving late may have been a blessing in disguise because it was so big and unwieldy on her that she only wore it for about 1 hour at our neighbor's party. It's definitely a costume for a baby who can already stand - we'll definitely get better use out of it next year!!

more pictures on Flickr (see side panel)
One other thing of note is that it's sooo obvious that Ayla is Bob's daughter and sometimes when I put her face right next to mine the only resemblence is the color of our eyes. While going through her spider pics I noticed a recurring face that  seemed familiar and at first I even thought of my brother Kenny, but then I realized I had seen it before in my baby pictures. Bob has said that we have the same facial expressions LOL

See Ayla at 6 mo compared to my 6 mo baby portrait

Anyway, Ayla seemed to enjoy the shipping box more. It was like a baby ball pit

Friday night in Campbell

We found out Ayla likes balloons...

YouTube Video

I'd also like to show what we are up against here in Cali... To explain to our daughters, this is NOT normal... This limo drove down the main drag in Campbell Friday evening. These girls can't be older than 10. They had plastic champagne flutes, and were yelling "it's my birthday!!" OMG

Gabby

My niece, Gabriella, recently broke her leg (cast came off last week that's how far behind I am on posts!). We all wondered how the cast might slow this wild spirit down... The answer is: it didn't. See for yourself, video captured at local Bocce court last Sat where we celebrated Kenny's bday

4 months and 7lbs later

Ayla now weighs 13lbs 4oz and is in the 50th percentile for all her measurements. But if you just focused on her chin, I'm sure she would be in the 95th percentile (she has quite the double chin!!!)
But what Ayla really cared about was the tissue paper on the table...
