Super Squeal

Stella, Sullivan & Emerson with Afton
Karina is obsessed with the baby and she loves uncle Justin too
Justin thought Afton needed to look more gangster
This dress is so cute on her that whenever she's wearing it she just makes the sweetest expressions

I know that other babies do these things, but I'm sorry, every new thing Afton does is an absolute revelation to me - she's the most precious angel of adorable cuteness that's ever happened. I can't even stand this new squealing talking thing she's been up to - it's just too awesome. I will post video as evidence. Other than that she's still really super grumpy about tummy time, but she's getting stronger as we struggle through it and I think she'll be sitting up on her own in a matter of weeks. We are doing good (despite the fact that I'm feeling sick) and it's been a super fun month that started with the whole May clan in town for a big Disneyland adventure which was seriously too fun. Afton was really cute with the family and all her super rad cousins. October is especially cool because we have loads of May family birthdays and one King one as well. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Ethan, Sullivan, Emerson, Cheryll, Joyce!! We love you to the max!

Giggles from heaven

Seriously can anyone argue that this noise is not one of the best things about life on earth? Justin dropped his napkin on Afton last night just to be dorky and she loved it. Now you guys can see why I spend all my time in pursuit of this adorable laughter. Enjoy!

THE FOLDED EAR - we have to flap it back into place at least twice a day!







DCT=Dream Come True! It really was to have a whole week off and take our first family road trip up to Northern Cali. We had an amazing time with Rand and Joyce in Walnut Creek where we went over to Napa for a day which was beautiful and we even got to spend some time with Courtney which was super fun - she filmed the below video of Afton on the baby bjorn attack. Focus on the baby and not my extra chin that came with that baby. Rand and Joyce have been updating their house for the last year and it looks incredible, the kitchen is insane, I'm in love with it - and the food that comes out of it! Afton was in full show off mode, she gave us her first giggles right there in the kitchen with Grandpa holding her and me dancing in front of her like I do many mornings after my workout. She thought it was too funny and now I'm obsessed with trying to make her laugh because it's the best sound that's ever happened. Mid-week Justin went down to Big Sur with all his pals and had the best surf trip yet - amazing conditions, and he loves his new longboard and wet-suit. Afton and I took off to visit Uncle Reid and Aunt Gabi in Saratoga. I have hardly seen these guys over the years, but being with them again was like heaven! We had TOO MUCH FUN! It was just so great to be back in the house where I have so many childhood memories from Marilla Drive, but what I didn't remember was that they have the most AMAZING mid-century furniture ever! I was FREAKING on this stuff, I took lots of pictures of it so let me know if you want me to send them to you- there's a peek of it with the picture of Reid and Gabi on the couch- it's so cute the way they watch TV like that in evenings. I swear when you spend time with people like Reid and Gabi it just makes you want to be a better person. Reid told me so many fun stories about my Dad I didn't even know including some great old pictures and even video from 1956! So rad. We went to Santa Cruz and took this beautiful hike in the hills around Saratoga. It was Reid's idea to use the hanky since I didn't bring a hat and I think it looks too cute for words, but you make your own assessment based on these pictures. cutestbabyever.com.........we love her!

Farrah Photo Shoot!

My sweet sweet friend Farrah who's been coming over all the way from LA on the reg ever since this little one was born to save my life with socializing (and the occasional trip to Target or batch of laundry - she's an angel) came over the other day when Afton was being particularly adorable and we did a full on Afton photo shoot. Is it just me, or is this baby so cute it should seriously be illegal??

Big Girls Don't Cry

Happy news! The new acid reflux medication Afton is taking is really making a difference! Afton has been a much happier baby this last week. I swear she grew 3 inches in the last few days! One of her pairs of 3-6 month pajamas don't fit - it's insane! I have to edit her closet because there are loads of cute little things that no longer fit this big gorgeous girl. As you can see above, she still knows how to put an adorable outfit together. How cute is that corduroy skirt with the over-all straps?!! Of course it's impossible to keep the straps up, but it's too cute for words. We went on a shopping spree on Saturday because I sold a swatch on ebay and got $100. Old Navy was having a super sale of 50% off clearance stuff - we bought her about 15 things - at least 7 of which cost less than $2!! UNREAL! The funny thing is that she's already fitting the 6-9 month stuff and it's seriously just so fun to get her dressed - which as previously mentioned we do a lot because she likes to pooh outside her diaper whenever possible. The other day we were just about to leave and she did a SUPER POOPER - there was pooh all the way up her back and into her armpit! She's been into sucking on things lately- and sometimes as illustrated below she likes to just make a sucking face even when she's not sucking on anything - it's pretty cute. She also has this obsession with her Pops right now- no matter how sad she is when Justin looks at her she's in heaven. She loves the spot between us as the dinner table and she just sits looking at her Dad the whole time waiting for him to look at her - and then she smiles and giggles and it's seriously the best thing ever. Here's some fun pictures of our big beautiful baby and a few video's to make you smile.

Good Morning Sunshine!

My mornings have been blessed lately with the cutest smiles ever - as soon as I hear a stir I walk into the nursery and look what I get (check out the video below)! The most adorable smiling baby that's ever happened. Afton is growing like crazy- she's already 14 lbs and once again at the very top (96-97%) for all her measurements. She's totally grown out of her 0-3 months stuff and it's so much fun to get her dressed everyday - 4 times a day (she has a way of shooting pooh really far outside her diaper). She also is really getting into toys- I got her these really cool little rattle monsters that have rad prints and stuff - it's so hard to find baby toys that are made with super cool style so I was really excited when I saw these guys, and as you can see from how she's gripping onto one of them during her morning nap she likes em too! Here's some of the latest for you all!

Smiles for MILES!

I seriously can't get anything done right now because what if I miss one of these heart melting smiles?! It's the most adorable thing that's ever happened (and yes, she spends a lot of time in this bouncer....and yes, it's the best $18 I've ever spent). See for yourself...........
