Balboa Park

In an effort to make the most out of my final days of maternity leave we have been trying to do something fun everyday and take advantage of living in San Diego where it is 70 degrees out in the middle of January.  So, we took Sloane to Balboa Park.  
 We began by having a picnic near the botanical gardens.

 Then we took a stroll through the park and visited the artisans at Spanish Village.  
Such a lovely day!

Wow! Four months has flown by!

I can't believe its been four months...its actually been four and a half months!  I just hung her 4-month picture in her nursery today and I just can't believe how time really does fly!
Here is Sloane's 4 month picture...and it suits her perfectly...she is such a smiley happy baby right now and we are having so much fun with her!  It seems like everyday she has a new skill.  
She is now...
...grabbing her feet...and sometimes putting them into her mouth...
...doing tummy time like a champ...and rolling over...
...grabbing and holding things...which always end up in her mouth!
 She loves Sophie the giraffe so much...she even likes to dress like her!
Slowly beginning the path to sitting up on her own in her Bumbo seat!
So...her eyes are still bright blue and the doc says they will stay light...
...but still a waiting game to know the final color.
Its such a fun time and she is such a fun gal...here are a few more current pics:

Sloane's First Christmas 2013



 Christmas began with Christmas Eve dinner at Mimi and Grandpa's House.  

Nonna and Papa came too!

 Falling asleep with Mimi.
 Grandpa made Nonna and Papa a beautiful mosaic for their Borrego house.

 Here is our  little elf on Christmas morning!


 Grandpa made Sloane a mosaic of her name for Christmas! 


 First Christmas as a family of 3!

 All tuckered out from opening presents!

 Next...we went over to Nonna and Papa's to celebrate some more and have Christmas dinner.
 Spending time with cousins, Erika and Ben.
 Pretty tree and LOTS of presents!
 I wonder what's inside?

 Another nap was needed after all the excitement!


Merry Christmas!
