NINE MONTHS OLD!!!

Who decided that time had to fly? It's already been nine months since Alegria's was born!!! It's been going way too fast!!! Today Alegria turned 9 months old and I just can't believe my eyes!

Since I don't have much to say for the beginning of the day, I'll just let the pictures do the talking...



For this next one, I WILL interject. You may remember that I mentioned Alegria is getting to the point where she does not like to pose for the camera anymore...well, at least not in a lying down position. I very rarely get any good shots of her anymore...many a times I get a shot of her back. In this one, I was lucky to get her smiling face in it because let me tell you...I feel like she is laughing at me the whole time she's moseying away!!! :)


Awww! I love how she's holding her little hands together in this one!

So a little while ago I decided to try to get a picture of her on the coffee table. It worked the first time I did it and she took a great shot! This time, however, she was not as fearful of the edge of the table and tried (successfully!) to shimmy herself off!!!


I love this picture I got of her before she took off! It almost reminds me of Elvis with the collar up like that! And boy, does she have a cute smile!!! :)


Here's a video of her shimmy. It actually almost looks like she's doing the break dancing "worm" move. :)




Today I also had a Primary Presidency meeting. It was nice! We met at the Primary President's house, where she fed us lunch and we discussed the upcoming June Primary activity. While we were there, I thought Alegria would take a nap because she hadn't napped much this morning, but it turns out that she was so intrigued by all of the unfamiliar toys and the new place that she was exploring the whole time!

Well, the meeting had gone well and I was in a good mood...until...I saw flashing lights behind me on my way home. Yes, the cop was after me. So I pulled over and he explained to me that I had been going 53 in a 35. No officer, really, I thought the speed limit was 53! (Dyslexia anyone?) Hehehe! :) Just kidding. The reason I was speeding (without knowing it, mind you), was that Alegria was starting to get sleepy and therefore fussy and crying, so I was singing at the top of my lungs to cheer her up and I kept looking at her through the baby mirror to see if she'd fall asleep. I was distracted and was not paying attention to the speed I was going. I have learned my lesson, though, because that is one expensive ticket! For every mile I was going over, I was fined $5, plus an additional $94 tax. Luckily, I get to take a Driving Safety Course (DSC) to dismiss the ticket and to avoid points on my license. So I don't have to pay the $184, but I still have to pay a $104 DSC fee. Phooey!

I called Cameron after I got home and Alegria was in her crib taking a nap. I was so upset I cried. I've never had a speeding ticket before. Cameron made me feel better, though. I love him so much! He's so great!

Well, now Abilehi and I are going to go straighten our hair and fold laundry.

Good night!

Jinxed!

So...yesterday I wrote about Alegria sleeping all through the night...well, I shouldn't have, because I jinxed it! She woke up at about 2 or 3, and then at 4:30. The first two times, I think she went to sleep after crying only a little bit. But at 4:30, she cried longer, and finally at about 5, I went to get her and nurse her. I fell asleep in the rocking chair as I nursed her and at about 6, I put her in her crib. She slept until about 7 again, which meant that her schedule was off.

*sigh* Oh well.

Once Alegria woke up, I took her pajamas off and let her run around in only her diaper. It's been getting warmer and warmer, and I wish I could run around in just underwear, too!

I've been reading the Twilight books and Alegria decided she wanted to join the club of Edward fans! :)

She's a fast reader! She barely started Eclipse today, and look at how far along she is already! :)

Here she is, playing with a blanket from a suitcase. See, the reason her clothes and blankets are in a suitcase is because I haven't bought her a dresser yet. We've been traveling so much and spending a lot on plane tickets, that I haven't wanted to invest in a dresser yet. And in any case, we've been living out of suitcases so much that until we're not traveling anymore, that's about as good a place as I have to keep her stuff.

I love the face she's making in this one! :)

Here we were later in the day in the office and Alegria was playing around with the straps of Great Great Grandpa Ben's saddle and lasso.

And then at one point, it got quiet behind me and I asked Abilehi, "Is the baby with you?" (Abilehi was getting ready to go to Family Home Evening), and she told me that no, "She's in her room!" And sure enough, I went to look and there Alegria was, contentedly "reading" her books! She's getting to be much more independent now and doesn't mind leaving me while she goes off on her own. I leave her room door open for her to feel free to do so. All of the outlets have covers and there's nothing breakable or dangerous in there, so I just go and check on her when she decides to go off on her own. :) She's adorable!

Today I also mowed the lawn. I wasn't sure if it would still take me a long time to mow it, so I decided to try mowing the front during Alegria's morning nap and the back during Alegria's afternoon nap. Well, I thought Alegria was tired and put her down for a nap at 9:30. She cried for 30 minutes, though, and finally at 10, she was quiet. So at that point I went out to mow the lawn. I hadn't gone to do it while she was crying just in case after 30 minutes she still wasn't asleep. (30 minutes is my magic time for Alegria's crying before naps and picking her up.) Anyway. I was almost done mowing the front when I heard Alegria crying. It didn't sound like she was going to go back to sleep, so I finished mowing the front, showered, and then went to pick Alegria up.

The rest of the day, we played and read and sang and finally, at 2:30, Alegria was so exhausted that she slept really deeply...so deeply that two hours later I still hadn't heard a peep from her. I knew that she wouldn't go to sleep until late if she woke up past 4:30, so I went in and found her in the exact same position I had laid her in! She usually moves around a bit when she sleeps, so I got a picture of her, which woke her up (all part of my plan!). :)

I had been planning on mowing the rest of the lawn during Alegria's afternoon nap, but since I was so tired myself, I decided to just take a nap as well...only I ended up reading some more out of Eclipse.

The rest of the evening went well. Alegria ate her oatmeal and chicken noodle and then she had her bath. When I put her in bed, she went to sleep pretty fast. We'll see how the night goes!

I then mowed the back lawn, which only took me 20 minutes. Then I went and took a nice bubble bath while I read some more in my book. :)

At the end of the night, I talked to Cameron for a little bit. I just can't wait to see him on Wednesday!!! YAY!!!

Splendid Sunday

Today was a splendid Sunday! So many great things happened!

Alegria slept 10 full hours...all through the night! Had I gone to bed earlier last night, I would have reaped the benefits. :)

We got to Church a little early, too! That's twice in a row. We've got to continue doing that!

And (drum roll, please!), Alegria stayed content all through sacrament meeting and so there was no need for me to go out AT ALL to walk with her or nurse her! It was amazing! It was also ward conference so I was able to listen to the talks and the music and everything, all the while enjoying having our beautiful little girl at my side.

After Church, I was set apart for my calling as first counselor in the Primary. Even though I remained as the first counselor, because they changed everyone else in the Primary presidency, they had to set me apart all over again. As we waited for me to be called in, Alegria crawled around and pulled herself up on the chairs in the waiting area. As you can tell, she's pretty tired by this point. Once home, she took a two-hour nap. Abilehi and I had lunch after Alegria went to bed and then we followed suite. :)


After our naps, we all woke up and just enjoyed each other's company. A little before 5, Alegria and I dropped Abilehi off and she went with the Stake Relief Society president to a Young Single Adult (YSA) meeting in Temple, which is about 40 minutes away. Then Alegria and I returned home.

At home, I fed Alegria some chicken noodle baby food and some mixed berry and banana fruit. Even though she had a bib on, she managed to get her dress dirty, so for the rest of the evening as we played around, I had her in just a diaper. In this picture, she was quite happy that she was able to get my phone from me.


In this one she's asking me if she can call China. I told her no. :) Hahaha!


Alegria went to bed pretty easily tonight and then I stayed up and worked on uploading pictures while I waited for Abilehi to come home.

Once home, Abilehi told me about the Fireside she went to and we had some dinner.

Oh! I almost forgot! We decided that we would buy our plane tickets today, and sure enough, the tickets we originally wanted for Cameron to come home had skyrocketed $200 more, so we had to get him a flight to come home a day later. Cameron was pretty upset about that, but now his tickets are purchased and so are mine and Alegria's for when we leave with Cameron to go to Kentucky. YAY!!!

Toodaloo!!!

Modelicious!!!

Today has been a very busy day! Alegria and I went around the house dusting and then while Alegria napped from 9-10, I cleaned the bathrooms and then showered. Once Alegria was awake, she helped me pick out an outfit to wear and I finished getting ready.

Nefilinda and Fernando arrived at about 11:30. They had taken a wrong turn because of the rain, which had impeded their vision, and they were a little later arriving than they'd anticipated. That was okay, though. :) When they arrived, we spent a little time getting Alegria acquainted with both of them and then I left Alegria with Nefilinda so that I could finish washing the morning's dishes. Once Alegria was warmed up to Nefilinda and Fernando, Fernando took out his camera and began taking pictures of Alegria. He had asked if he could take pictures of Alegria to promote his photography business, so that is why they had driven the two hours to come. I, of course, being the photo maniac that I am, acquiesced and was happy that Alegria did so well during most of the photo taking!

After taking a few pictures, we all hopped in my car and went to the Copperas Cove Public Library, where Abilehi was working today from 8:30-5. We came bearing Dairy Queen blizzards and spent a fun little while there. We got to see the break room where Abilehi eats her meals when she stays at work for lunch or dinner, and then Abilehi took us on a small tour of the Children's Library (where she is the Children's Specialist). :) I got a few cute pictures of Alegria there!


After the library, we stopped by Burger King on our way home and got some lunch. As soon as we got home, though, I put Alegria down for a nap. She was exhausted! That was fine, though. Fernando got to take a nap on the couch and I got to sweep and mop the floors. Nefilinda read a little bit and then she and I chit-chatted. After two hours, Alegria woke up from her nap. I got her dressed and we were ready to go again!

We were on our way to the City Park, when I realized that the Rabbit Fest was going on there. So we turned back around and it so happened that we passed by an Elementary School on the way and there was a park behind the school. We had originally wanted to take a few pictures at the Rabbit Fest, but it had been raining a lot earlier so we skipped out on that option. But Fernando still wanted to get some outside shots, so we did what we could there at the park. Most of the play area was wet, so we had limited resources, but we did what we could and Alegria was surprisingly cooperative...for the most part. During one take, Fernando wanted her to crawl towards him, but she was too intrigued by the pebbles on the ground and kept wanting to eat them! So we finally nixed that and went on to try something else. Finally, we left.

As we were leaving, Fernando saw a patch of wildflowers on the side of the road and decided to take a few pictures of Alegria there. She didn't like that. So after a few attempts, we left.

Once home, I undressed Alegria (she had gotten mud on her sandals and her short bottoms were a little wet. Then I had Abilehi feed her some fruit while I began making dinner.

Oh, dinner! Abilehi requested Chicken Parmesan. I'd never made that dish before, so I had looked up a recipe online. It ended up being pretty easy. Next time, though, I need to put sauce on the pasta as well. The sauce on the chicken wasn't enough to soak the noodles. Oh well. It was fine. Abilehi's and Nefilinda's friend Sadie was with us and she kept commenting that they were good...so I believed her. :)

Finally, it was time for dessert. I was most anxious for dessert. I had made a Caramel Cream Brownie Truffle. It sure was yummy!!! :) Here are a couple of pictures!


After dessert I excused myself and said goodbye to Abilehi and Sadie, who were going to go meet up with a group of friends from Institute to hang out and watch a movie. Then I went to nurse Alegria. Not long after, Nefilinda came and knocked at the door to let me know that she and Fernando were going to be leaving, so I came out to say goodbye to them.

Once everyone was gone, it was so quiet in the house. It was almost freaky how quiet it was! The weird thing is, that it's like that every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday night when Abilehi is at FHE, Institute, or work. I guess the fact that there had been so many people around today just made the silence that much more audible.

Anyway. I nursed Alegria until she didn't want to anymore and then I took her a bath. Yesterday was her bath night, but because we'd been at the park and it was all wet, Alegria had gotten mud on her legs, hands, and arms, and even though we'd washed her hands, if it had been me to get dirty like that, I know I would have enjoyed a bath. So that's what we did.

After her bath, we watched a video of Cameron talking to Alegria and wishing her a goodnight. We then read a book (Guess How Much I Love You), said prayer, and then I played Cameron's songs for Alegria.

Now, when I lay Alegria down in her crib, she has recently been getting right back up on her knees and sitting up, then "talking" until she falls asleep. Today she was so exhausted that she stayed down on her tummy and went to bed pretty fast! So much activity today! That did it!

Well, once Alegria was asleep, it was then time for me to do the usual clean up. I brought her toys in from the trunk of the car (we'd taken them with us to take pictures with them possibly). I loaded the dishwasher. I cleaned the counters, the table, the stove, and the floors, and I put away everything that was out of place. I also took out the trash. Phew!

Cameron and I talked a bit, too. We've been trying for the last couple of weeks to plan travel for him here, for all three of us to Montana, and for all three of us back to Kentucky. Well, today we got a little discouraged because the prices are so high (especially to go to Montana with only a week's notice...courtesy of the Army and the big unknown of dates)! So now the latest is that we'll forego the Montana trip for now and Cameron will still come this Tuesday and stay for two weeks. That means he'll finally be able to know what it feels like to live in his own home for longer than a weekend! YAY!!! Alegria and I are so excited!!!

So...as I was sitting here writing, I received an email from Fernando...and he sent me three pictures of Alegria...and they are AWESOME!!! Take a look!!!

His pictures put my pictures to shame. Oh well. He's a professional. :) I can't wait to see what the rest of the pictures look like! Woo-hoo!!!

Well, I guess that's about it for today. I've already written a novel.

Have a great night!!!

Alegria is one cool kid!!!

Don't you agree?

She must take after her Aunt Abilehi!!! :)

Then again...maybe not! :)

HAHAHA! This first picture was actually taken two days ago. Yes, people! I turned my back for a second and Alegria had decided that the door stopper was a chew toy! And then today, she was crawling around in the dining room and found...let's see...a different yet same exact chew toy! Alegria's a riot! I just don't understand what's going on in her head for her to think that this is a chew toy or sucker. Well, actually, now that I think about it, this type of door stopper is springy, so every time it's touched, it "boings," so that makes it fun to play with and I can therefore see where she can think of it as a toy. My, oh my! :)

Let's see. Today was a pretty relaxed day. Abilehi had to go to work for a few hours in the morning, but then she came home and our new visiting teacher and friend, Pauline, stopped by with her youngest son, Jacob, and we visited for a while. Little Jacob is so cute and he was making Alegria smile and laugh! It was adorable!

After they left, Alegria went down for a nap and Abilehi and I just chilled. I uploaded pictures from Abilehi's phone to her computer and Abilehi checked her email. I also made a few phone calls concerning the Optima.

Alegria woke up a little after 3 and I'm so glad she did, because that gave me a chance to nurse her before heading out to run a few errands. Once she was fed, she was happy and Alegria happily let Abilehi change her diaper...and even when I waved and said "bye-bye!" to her, she just smiled and made no fuss about it! That was nice. :)

So I first went to City Hall, where I purchased biodegradable lawn bags to bag our grass clippings. It took a little longer than I thought because the receptionist kept getting a lot of phone calls. It wasn't too bad, though.

Next I went to the DMV, where I went to get the 1st lien holder on our Optima's title removed, since Cameron and I paid the car off and are the sole owners of it now. Also, my name was misspelled on the title, so I had to get that corrected. While I was there, the gentleman at the counter asked if I wanted to get my registration renewed as well, so I did, that way I didn't have to go back in a month.

Last of all, I went to the post office to return a package and have it shipped to Cameron in Kentucky. I picked up some 2-cent stamps as well.

Finally, I came home and Alegria was more than happy to see me. She and I played while Abilehi rested a bit.

Then I gave Alegria some baby chicken noodle dinner. At first Alegria didn't want anything to do with it. She did want the spoon I was feeding her with. I finally gave in to her and gave her the spoon I was using. I thought that was it and that her food would go to waste, but then I decided to try feeding Alegria with the spoon she was originally just playing with...and that worked! Alegria ate all of her chicken noodle! For dessert, Abilehi and I cut open a watermelon, cut it into cubes, and put it in Tupperware to have as a snack for the next few days. I gave Alegria some to try, but she didn't like it very much. I don't blame her. I did a poor job on picking a watermelon and it was not the sweetest. Oh well. Maybe another time!

After dinner, we all went to the office, where we played with Alegria's toys. While doing so, I put on the soundtrack to "The Phantom of the Opera" and sang along to a few of the tracks in my loudest voice. I kept singing towards Alegria and making my eyes wide and dramatic and she loved it! :) It was sure fun!!!

Finally, it was time for Alegria to go to bed, so I nursed her (boy, is THAT getting hard to do! She just wants to play!!!), then I gave her a bath. After her bath, we brushed her gums and read a book. Then I played two songs for her of Cameron singing to her and kissed her good night and laid her in her crib. It didn't take long for Alegria to drift off to dream land... :)

Once Alegria was in bed, Abilehi and I had some dinner, after which I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a couple of things.

When I got home, Abilehi had cleaned up and the kitchen was ready for me to make some brownies...YUM! Tomorrow Nefilinda and Fernando are coming over and I'm making a Caramel Cream Brownie Trifle for dessert!

I did talk to Cameron a few times today. Earlier today, they had an after-action review, which is pretty much the guys letting the ones in charge know what they thought of the training phase. Cameron said that it went on for an hour over what it should have because a few of the guys kept having to make comments on every single little thing. Needless to say, he was annoyed at being there longer than necessary. I talked to Cameron a few other times while he was busy washing up some gear that he has to turn in. I also talked to Cameron right before he went to bed. We're both very excited to see each other next week! YAY!!!

So even though it was a relaxed day, it was also kind of busy and I'm glad that bed time is finally here!

Good night!

Babes in Boxes

This morning I emptied out another box from the garage. Alegria found the box interesting! :) Not interesting enough, though...she didn't climb in it or anything. I'm sure that will come a little later!

Later on today, Alegria and I attended a baby shower. It was pretty fun and we got to hang out with a few sisters and their children. Actually, two husbands were there, too, and they participated in some of the games. One of the games we played was sculpting babies out of play-doh. The mother got to choose which one she liked best...and that was mine! I had sculpted a crawling baby and she liked it the best. She also said it reminded her of Franklin the Turtle. (I made it from green play-doh!) Alegria did really well. I thought she would be clingy and fussy (since it was past her bedtime), but she was crawling around, exploring her new surroundings, and just having a grand old time! Also, since there were some light refreshments there, I gave her some fruit. She did NOT like the honeydew melon, but she did like the cantaloupe. I had to start tearing off small chunks of the cantaloupe because she began biting off large pieces and I don't think she's quite ready for such large pieces yet! Here she is playing with a musical book.

After the baby shower, Alegria and I came home. I nursed her and got her ready for bed and she was pretty much OUT right away!

As for Cameron and our travel plans, they keep changing. Earlier today, Cameron told me that he'd drive or fly down after graduation and then a day later we'd fly to Montana, but then tonight, after looking at the prices for plane tickets, we're going to try to go to Montana the last week of May instead. Tomorrow we're supposed to know dates FOR SURE, so I'm excited to finally know what our summer will look like!!! :)

Well, that's it for now! Good night!!!

Ready for Volleyball!!!

Today was volleyball day at church, so I decided to dress Alegria a little sporty casual. She kept taking her cute little hat and flip flops off, but I was able to get a couple of cute shots while Alegria "walked" with Abilehi's assistance. :) These pictures, mind you, were later on in the day. At church, Alegria was content for only a few minutes in the nursery while I played volleyball and then she wanted nothing to do with being away from me, so I tried having her on the sidelines. She did not like that either and at first just cried and then tried crawling out to me! So it ended up being a "watch everyone else play volleyball" day. It was fine, though. I got to talk to the ladies (we were fewer in number today) and it got Alegria and me out of the house. :) We're hoping to take a poll on Sunday on what day works better for everyone else so that we can have a better turnout. With more ladies, I'm sure we could switch off having someone watch the kids...yes, that is a requirement. At one point, the older (but still young) kids ended up writing on the chalkboard with crayons!



What else happened today? Other than going grocery shopping, nothing much. It was Alegria's bath night, so that was an enjoyable time, and Abilehi went to Institute, so I was left by my lonesome at home after Alegria was in bed. I had dinner, checked my email, and tried figuring out this Blogger thing. It's different from my MSN Live Space, so I'm having to get used to it. I hope I can get the hang of it because I sure don't want to keep being frustrated with posting. It's supposed to be a fun time, writing down all of my memories and events that happen!

On another note, Cameron's doing really well in Kentucky. I received a phone call from him early this morning. They were evaluated the last time they went out into the field and this morning they had to sign off on those evaluations. Well, when Cameron went to look for his evaluation (they were stacked in alphabetical order), he couldn't find his. So, he asked the major in charge where his was, that he couldn't find it, and the major told him to hold on. Then he took it out from a separate stack...and it turns out that Cameron's was in a different pile because he's in the top 20% of his class and he made the Commandant's List!!! (That's the equivalent of the Dean's or President's List at a college or university.) On his evaluation, it reads, "Exceeds All Expectations." I'm so very proud of him! All of the sacrifice of being apart has been worth it because he did really well! We also know the Lord had a hand in this...in helping Cameron to focus and at the same time caring for us as we've been apart. :)

Well, I guess that's about it for now. Ciao!

Shots...OUCH!!!

Today Alegria turned 38 weeks old!!! I can't believe how fast time has gone by! With each day she becomes more and more strong-willed. It's getting so difficult to get a good picture of her every week, even when I try to take them as soon as she wakes up and is fed! I was lucky to get these three and as you can see, in one she has her hand in front of her face. That one would have been so cute with that big smile of hers!



Today the main thing that happened was that Alegria had an appointment to get her 6-month shots. Yes, she's almost 9 months old and she's barely getting her 6-month shots. I blame all the travel. Anyway. At the doctor's office, the ladies at the front desk kept talking to Alegria and telling her how cute she is. They just loved her!

We finally went back to a room and it was a fun baby room! The walls were decorated with wall art of the Cat in the Hat, the Wild Things, and the Very Hungry Caterpillar. Whoever painted those walls did an awesome job!

Well, the nurse took Alegria's vitals and growth assessment. She weighed 18 pounds, 9.75 ounces (50th percentile), was 28 inchess tall (75th percentile), and her head circumference was 44 cm/17 inches (50th percentile). When the doctor came in, she said Alegria was right on track! :) So we're very happy about that. After speaking with our new doctor (I really liked her, by the way!), the nurse came back in to give Alegria her shots. This was the part I was dreading. For her other shots, Cameron has always been the one to hold her while she gets vaccinated, so I was not looking forward to having to do that. Alegria needed 7 vaccinations. Luckily those 7 were combined into only 3 actual shots. She got two in her right leg and one in her left leg. I had to hold Alegria's arms and torso down while the nurse held Alegria's legs. Unfortunatley, the nurse had forgotten to get bandaids out prior to giving the first shot, so after the first shot, she rummaged around and so I had to hear Alegria's crying for longer than I had hoped. Needless to say, I teared up as well. :'( Finally the ordeal was over. As we waited for the nurse to come back with Alegria's shot record, Alegria actually stopped crying and was just playing with my keys. I thought I'd need to nurse her to get her to forget the shots, but I didn't.

On the way home, Alegria fell asleep. I don't blame her. Not only was she drugged up (yes, I gave her some baby Tylenol before she got the shots), but it was also her nap time. As soon as we got home, I nursed her and put her to bed. She slept for 2 hours. :)

When Alegria woke up from her nap, she was in a much better mood! I was so glad! So we played and listened to music and had Abilehi take a couple of pictures. :) It was a pleasant afternoon. :) And when Alegria went to bed, I couldn't help but be proud of her. She did such a great job at the doctor's office today! :)

The evening sky was beautiful! Abilehi pointed it out to me and we got a couple of pictures. This is my favorite. :)


Then later on, I got to talk to Cameron again. I had already let him know how the doctor's appointment had gone and we discussed travel plans a little more. I wish the Army would be better at giving the men dates so they can make plans and buy plane tickets! By the time they tell us the dates of Cameron's next training schools, the prices will have skyrocketed, I'm sure!!!

Anyway.

Cameron had picked up his uniform from the tailor's earlier today and he sent me a picture that he took on his phone. I just LOVE the way he looks in his dress blues!!! So classy!!! :) I only wish that I could be at graduation with him so I can see him in his dress blues in person! I would be the proudest woman there, to be with the handsomest officer there!!! :)

Well, that's about it for today. Good bye!!!

Quiet day at home...

As the entry title states, it was a quiet day at home. Alegria and I played and just hung out. When Abilehi came home was when the fun started! Hahaha! It was hot, so I took Alegria's capri pants off...and then put them on her head! It looks like she's wearing a bandana!

Here she's taking a walk with Abilehi...

I love that little grin of hers!!! So CUTE!!!

Here I'm holding Alegria on my hip and trying to get a closeup of the pants on her head...


No matter what she's wearing, Alegria always looks cute!!! :)



While Abilehi got ready for FHE, Alegria played with a few toys of hers on the edge of the tub.

There's that grin of hers!!! It brings out her chubby cheeks! :)



And here Abilehi is "throwing" Alegria up in the air. Alegria thoroughly enjoyed that!!!

Well, that was about it for today. Nothing too exciting! :)

Good night!

Thanks for visiting...come back soon for updates!
