Meet: BOB

I've always pictured Anaya with a little bob.

But, since her hair didn't start growing till she was 16 months,
patiently I had to wait.

FINALLY at 2 years and 4 months...

"It's cute", says Anaya.

Making sure everyone notices her new haircut.

let it be

It's so hilarious, Anaya will start randomly singing Beatles songs. We never teach her the lyrics to any songs. She just picks them up herself.
Before bed she decided to perform 'Let it Be' for me.

Do we have an entertainer on our hands?

Me and My Papa

The plus side of Morgan having to be at work at 6am is he arrives home each day around 2:30 (that is if he doesn't have to work over-time). This is also the changing of shifts around here. Morgan and Anaya go on little adventures while I work from home. Just these last couple of weeks they have gone to the farm, the park, the zoo and prehistoric pets.

Anaya loves her Papa time!

The Santa Ana Zoo

OC Centennial Farm

Oh! my gosh... a baby!

Weeee... Park time!

we heart this new band...

we hear a request for 'weekend' daily from Anaya.

What's crazy is she knows more words than Morgan and I do.
My next mission: record her singing along.

the filming in this clip is pretty bad.

Wish it was Josh filming away. It would have been amazing.

needing some magic...

As soon as Anaya cleared the 72 hour quarantine period of strep throat, showed improvement in her eyes and no fever for 5 days were else to go but 'the happiest place on earth', Disneyland! Some of you would shutter to think we went after a month of sickness. But, we needed this so bad! Since we got in free through a friend's father it was a very casual trip. Being a local, yes that is possible. We took Anaya to Disneyland before but she was only 3 & 6 months. So, this was the first true Disney adventure for her.

Walking through the gates we were immediately greeted by Alice and the Made Hatter. They were dancing and singing, gleaming children surrounded them. Anaya held me tight. Our day of magic begins.

special moments...

- 1st ride, Finding Nemo aka. submarine. Anaya was in awhh! her favorite was the whales. The best was when she saw the crab out the window looked at me and said, 'like at dim sum'. God, I love this girl.

- loved taking her onto the Jungle Cruise. My dad's favorite.

- after a surprisingly yummy lunch we hoped on the train and just lounged. We absorbed the park from a distance. Anaya was intrigued with the secret tunnel of dinosaurs. Who knew this still existed!

- Meeting Mickey for the 1st time. I thought she was going to freak out since this has been the reaction with almost every character. But once she got face to face with him she was smittened. I was shocked. Anaya was quick to give him kisses and kept saying how nice Mickey is. She didn't mine being 2 inches away from his face. it was very sweet.

this is the ONLY picture we have. You can't really see the gleam in her eyes. But, of course their professional photographer took quite a few and was able to capture the moment,
ChEcK It OuT

-The look of amazement as the parade went down Main Street. She could of watched this for hours. Her favorite was the Lion King float.

Beatle Mania

Beatle love. still going strong.

china-doll

In process of making my very 1st doll for Anaya.

It's just taking a bit to complete.

Anaya came up to me the other day and said, 'can I have my doll when I'm six?'.

Morgan thought it was funny to teach her that. ha-ha.
