huh... some pics, but don't make fun of me!!

I'm really having issues with this whole layout thing. I'm so computer-stupid!! Amazing that I did tech support as long as I did... haha. Anyway, here are some pics. Mostly I just had to get pics of her outfits. She has the CUTEST clothes!!

This is her eating... Lately she just smiles a lot and has a hard time concentrating on eating.

This is her in her bumbo and awesome pants. I wish I had pants like those. I'd wear them ALL the time and I probably wouldn't have friends....

This is Liliana and her daddy and her cute pink polka dot jumper. The bib just happened to match and I thought it was adorable!

Yes, she is standing. No, she's not gonna be any more bow-legged than normal babies. I love this dress on her. We didn't get a pic, but her bow slipped in front of her eyes and she looked like cyclops. HILARIOUS!!

This is the classic Liliana face. We have such a happy and giggly baby!!!

This is what Derek found when he went to check on her this morning. She's out of control. She sleeps just like her dad in that she's all over the place, and just like her mama in that she doesn't like bright lights in the morning.

Yet another cute outfit. Again, I wish I had clothes this cute. Her capris fit perfectly too!!

Mohawk. You know you wish you had one. Her hair is really curly when wet. Or when we go outside. The humidity makes it all fluffy. I think she might hate it one day, but I LOVE it!!!

I love this outfit too!!!! Most people never see her in the same thing twice, but this one might be the one she wears the most b/c I just think its so cute on her. She looks like a prisoner without the top tho. Hahaha. I also can't believe how huge she is in her bouncer now!!

Aw, my baby is already eating applesauce!! She made funny faces at first, but then she decided she liked it. We were SO excited to let her taste something new but forgot how messy babies are when they eat! She ended up needing a bath after...

That's right! She likes me a little.

Same capri outfit, minus the shoes. Soooo cute!!!

This Doesn't Make Sense....

Derek and I have been wondering why it is soooo easy to stay in bed in the morning, yet sooooo hard to GO to bed at night?? Liliana just sleeps whenever she wants. Usually all night tho. THAT is awesome.

We got our phone numbers changed today to Virginia numbers. We're pretty excited.

We had a great weekend. We went to the ward pancake breakfast on saturday morning and then went to get some pictures printed out to put in our frames. We FINALLY put some in our key rack but we felt like "grandpa" deserved an honorary place in one of our frames since he was part of our family for the last (almost) 3 years. Someday our kids might ask who he is... that's gonna be awkward. But I think it is a rite of passage as a parent to do things that your kids don't get and don't think are funny. We shall see. On sunday we had dinner with Brett and Donia Warren. Leave it to me to finally make a friend and her name would be Donia. Yes, its like Dawn-ya. Awkward? A little.

That's pretty much all I have to say. Sorry I'm not putting any pictures on here but I just don't have the patience to wait for them to upload tonight. Maybe I will tomorrow if I have some time.

Peace out homefrys!

EDIT:
I TOTALLY forgot something HUGE!!!!

I heard A MINUTE AND TWENTY-TWO SECONDS of a song from AFI's new album (due out in September) and I almost cried b/c it was so fantastically awesome. I mean... whoa. Life is sooooooo good when new music comes out to make my insides all squishy with glee.

Shots and Stuff...

We went to see the doc today for Liliana's 4 month appointment. She is well. She weighs 13 pounds 7 ounces, and is 24 inches long. In other words, she's huge. Lol. She also has a giant head. This doctor doesn't give me the percentiles... so I'll have to do some research on just how big her head is. The nurse said "Wow, your head is BIG!" I was insulted. Liliana just smiled. I just feel like I'm the only one who gets to comment on the size of her head. Ok, Derek too. But THE REST OF YOU better be nice to my baby doll. You're only allowed to tell her things like how beautiful she is, how much you love her, etc. etc. Hahaha. Don't mess with this mama bear, you will not win. She had to get two shots. They did them both at the same time. For once, Liliana actually cried. She had these huge elephant tears and it was sad. She pouted all the way home. In fact, I'll upload a picture of her still pouting when she was sleeping after we got home.

Let's see... what else is happening....

Oh, I have a friend or two!! Hahaha. I'm pretty stoked. I go to playgroup every week even tho my baby doesn't really play. She laughs and is a bad influence on other babies, but that's the extent of her "playing". I feel like it is important for her to be socialized too. Like a puppy. Hahaha. ANYWAYS, this past week I went to hang out with a friend and her daughters. It was sooo cute to see her girls doting over Liliana and it was also sooo nice to have someone to talk to that I actually have a lot in common with. I'm also making more friends at church.

Derek is enjoying his job, I think. He doesn't have anything bad to say about it. He's still amazed at how it feels to be treated like an adult and a person, and not just the bottom of the food chain like he's been at other jobs. He gets off early every Friday, so it seems like we have 3 day weekends every week! Someday we're going to take advantage of that and go to the beach... but it seems to always be sunny during the week and rainy on weekends.

Um... in other news, looks like there may be a time sometime in August that I will be able to go see Harry Potter. Lol. *sigh* That's just what happens when you have a baby. I refuse to be one of those people that takes a baby to a movie that isn't for kids. I'm all for taking kids to like... the latest Disney movie. Those are made for them (and people like me who wouldn't mind being a kid forever) but I don't think most movies are really child-appropriate. Even if I know Liliana would sleep the whole time anyway, think of all the germs in the theater!!! GROSS!!! Also, not that anyone really knows what I'm talking about, but Derek is the best husband in the world and bought me the latest album from one of my favorite bands, mewithoutYou. It's called "It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All A Dream! It's Alright" and I will let you know just how awesome it is when it gets here. (On a side note, I'm SO not impressed with the lack of an indie record store around here. There's no support of independent artists around our nation's capital. What's up with that, Obama?? It's crap, I tell you, crap.) Also, Davey Havok is no longer the hottest man on the planet. After 3 years and lots of fun, Derek has moved up to the top spot. And I know he realizes the severe penalty for growing gross scruffaluffagus on his face like Davey did.

Peace out homefrys!

I CAN Cook!!!

Fajitas!! Woo hoo!

A delicious combination of steak, orange bell pepper and onion.

It was delicious.

That's all.

Peace out homefrys!
