Ella Turns One
Oh my heart. Ella Turns One. I’m not sure there’s much I can say but that I’m simultaneously proud and heart broken at the same time. Ever since she was born, it’s as if time just slips through my fingers no matter how hard I try to savor each moment. It’s been a crazy year but one that I will remember in so much detail for many years to come. Happy Birthday babe! You are so loved!
Happy Baby
We really are blessed with a happy baby. Sure, she goes through phases but in general, she’s pretty happy and especially the past couple of weeks.
Happy Easter
Look at that form! That glorious beagle form 😛 It’s Easter Sunday and we decided to take Dug out after church to his favorite park. It’s been a while since we’ve been here. It was an especially beautiful day with lots of dogs and daisies blooming. Happy Easter – He is risen!
Saturday
We spend our Saturday eating lunch at Bracero Cocina, walking around Liberty Station and being silly at home. What a great day it was.

Nine Months
Baby girl turned 9 months last week and in the 90% tile for weight, height and head size. She loves cheerio (so does Dug) and can feed herself an entire meal. She is showing no interest in crawling but stands well and starting to cruise. She might go straight to walking just like her Mama. She can clap, sing and wave on command. She can say mamamamum daaaddaaadaa and when she’s happy she’ll say naaanaaanaa. I thought I wanted her to freeze at 6 months but I think I want her to stay 9 months forever. Please baby girl, don’t grow up so fast.
Saturday Morning Fishy Date
Turns out if you go to the Birch Aquarium right when they open on Saturday, you can pretty much get the kelp tank all to yourself. Happy Saturday.
Big Bear Weekend
We headed up to Aaron’s sister’s cabin in Big Bear for a weekend with Aaron’s family. Doesn’t Ella look like the pink Nintendo ice climber?!?
Valentines Day
Growing up my dad would give me flowers on valentines day every year. I’m glad Ella will grow up the exact same way. Nothing fancy this year for vday since we just went out for Aaron’s birthday and wanted to spend the day with Ella. Oh how life has changed – for the better. 
xoxo
Happy 35th Birthday Aaron!
We got to head up to LA for a nice birthday dinner without the babe and drove around our old neighborhood for Aaron’s 35th birthday! It seemed like yesterday I was silly stringing him on his 23rd birthday!
