Karina is a sitting fool...

Karina is now sitting on her own very well, with a couple of head bonks on the floor, but she is easily consoled and still loves to sit. She's not so interested in moving around yet, but that will come soon enough. Her favorite things this week are cheerios and hording toys.


So cute in her strawberry hat...


Think she knows how cute she is?


Karina and Mamma cheering on the Red Sox at SafeCo Field.
Too bad they lost :(


Karina fell asleep in the 8th inning.


Karina and Alice playing. We took a fun Memorial Day
weekend trip to Mt. Baker with some friends.


Karina having breakfast with Brian.


Playing outside is so much fun!


"Don't I look cool in my sunglasses?"


"I can sit all by myself!"


"So many toys...and they are all in my lap :)"


"Daddy is the funniest man alive!"

7 months old

Karina is 7 months old! Time really flies. She is a very fun little girl! She rolled over from her back to her stomach and is almost sitting on her own. A very exciting development is that she now says "Mamma"! Just in time for Mother's Day!!


Karina's regular monthly picture on the couch in her capri pants :) The temperature got up to almost 80 today!!


She loves her squash and apples...


Karina's ready to cheer on her favorite team!



Karina loves to take naps with Daddy.

She loves her book...


Fun in her high chair.


More fun in the high chair.


Learning to sit in her chair


Playing with rings in her chair.


One duckie, two duckies...how many duckies does Karina like to have in the bath? As many as possible.


Mohawk baby


Ready for bed after a bath.


Karina with Daddy on the playground. Her first time on the slide!


Her first time on the swings! So much fun!


I don't think she was too sure about it, though.


Ready to give Mamma her Mother's Day card. What a sweet little girl.

6 months old!

Hard to believe she is 6 months old! Sorry we have been delinquent in posting. It has been a hectic month but now we are getting back into a routine. Shelly, Karina's nanny started. We are doing a nanny share with another couple who have a very cute and smiley 4 month old little girl. Karina has taken to Shelly very well, which makes it much easier to leave Karina for the day :)


Karina posing on her 6 month birthday! She is almost sitting on her own


Excited for a new baseball season because she does not know a season where the Red Sox are not the World Series Champions :)


Everything goes into her mouth these days...She has two teeth on the bottom and the upper teeth are on the verge of cutting.


Playing in her swing, enjoying the sunshine! We haven't had too much in the last week. They are even forecasting snow possibly next week! This was taken on Sat. Apr. 12th when it reached over 70!


Karina loves to try to catch the water pouring on her in the bath.


Relaxing on her back...and no we didn't put her hands like that. She does it on her own! The nurse in the doctor's office couldn't believe it last week, when Karina did it for her :)


Pushing up on her hands...not crawling yet, but that is a good thing :) Buys us a little more time to finish babyproofing and get in better shape to keep up with her :)


Karina's concerned look...she is a very introspective little girl...thinking about the world around her.


"You mean there is no more squash?!"


Bubbles, bubbles everywhere!


"I love to press buttons and make animal sounds come out of this toy!"


"Look at me and my friend Alice...Aren't we just too cute? Alice is trying to teach me to roll over"

5 months old!!!

Karina is 5 months old now!! Since we last blogged, she has started eating rice cereal, her Aunt Christie came to meet her, luckily in time to help out Marie who broke her right wrist the end of February and Ouma also came out to help out and has really been enjoying her visit with Karina. The other exciting news is that Karina grew her first tooth around 2 weeks ago!


So cute on her 5th month birthday!


So cool hanging out on the couch....


Stretching....this is what she does everytime she wakes up :)


Karina chillin' with Aunt Christie...


Asleep with her favorite rings in her hand...She has a strong grip!


Hanging out some more with Aunt Christie...


First time in her high chair and she loved it!


She didn't know who Ouma was at first, but it only took one day for her to warm up and give her lots of smiles...


Karina checking out Ouma.


Karina's first solid food!


Yummmm...rice cereal...


Blowing raspberries, her new favorite thing :)


Family photo :)


Karina's first ever "bites" of solid food. She was very anxious to try out her brand new tooth...
