attention span

Classic 5 and under pics. All the cousins on the Beach in Florida on June 22nd, 2010 with Grandma and Poppa Dough. Yes, to some it was boring and to others it was torture. I'll let you discern which was which... hilarious!

4th of July

Grandma Mary had a great idea when we were little...
Draw a flag on a diaper and- voila- cutest 4th baby ever :-) Here is the daphne comparison

Guess who?? Yes, that's Kelly. I think it's safe to say that she has her daddy's eyes, but otherwise, she's all Kelly.

It was fun for all of us.

And now the only memories are these pictures... and the red and blue stains from sharpie on her inner thighs.

too bad they already picked the A-team

Daphne could have made a bad-ass Mr. T.



... well maybe not bad-ass... but she would have loved the *bling*.

the sand between our toes


Last week we had the chance to get to go to San Diego and it was Beautiful!

Daphne literally said "WOW!" and pointed at the ocean when she saw it!

And, this was her first experience getting to see, feel, touch, playwith, walk in... sand.




She loved the playing... but the walking... especially in wet sand... not so much!



But, we had a lovely time and can't wait to make it back there again... even if it is a few years before our next trip to San Diego- we will definitely go back.



Hopefully our next trip to the ocean, she'll willingly put her feet down...

daddy's day

Today is Bobby's Birthday... and we made a project.

Or, we ate daddy's project...

She literally drooled orange for 10 minutes afterwards- and I swear I didn't let her eat the markers!

But, I think that it provoked a smile, even with a little drool.

under new management

Ok, the silence on my end is unforgivable... but let's pretend like it is, ok? I am so sorry for no pics of our growing gal, life has been steady and a bit crazy, but it's calming down now, so hopefully I can share some Daphne more often.

As for the title- Daphne is now my new Boss. I am going to be home with her during the week and I can hardly wait. I have taken a job working every other weekend, and can't wait to get time with her.


The one thing I know she'll be at a disadvantage for is exposure to other kids... then I remember that she has 7 cousins in town... and I think we'll manage!

I just LOVE that Charlie is trying not to smile and Calum and Jack both know they are suppose to and do it now... crazy how they grow up, isn't it??


And, she has her four girlfriends (cousins) to keep her in check. I'll be reporting to work every morning around 6:30 am and checking out around 7:30 pm. Can't wait!

Top Heavy

Our girl is one and it is time for her 1 year stats. I know you have been anxiously awaiting them!

She is 86.5% for height at 30.5 inches,

24 lbs 8 oz for weight (90%),

And... wait for it... > 97 % for OFC (49 cm). In layman's terms- she has a huge head. But, that just means more face to kiss... right? :-) Just try to tell me you don't want to kiss that face! At least, for one time in her life she can be top heavy. Even her mother is jealous.
