Excuse me, I have a question??

Giving Daddy a kiss before he heads off to school

Hanging out on a Saturday afternoon.....

Photos from this week...Mommy's been a bad blogger

Hey, this spoon feels pretty good on my gums....

I'm just so stinkin' happy!!!

I'd like to tell you Charlotte is "signing" the word for "Cheese"...but she's actually continuing to practice her clapping!

The weather turned a bit colder (for Portland) again this week...figures that our miniature Iris's decided to pop out and make their appearance this week.

Look What My Daddy Made This Afternoon....

How cool is this??? Victor made his own handmade "Tanks" cards for his three wargaming buddies (James, Garland & Ken) that sent him the coolest gift....An on-line gift certificate for his favorite on-line wargaming supply store. Victor purchased everything on his own...just asked me to get one of my Close To My Heart alphabets out for him to stamp the word "Tanks"....Too cool!

Happy Friday Night Stamp-n-Chat

Another fun Friday night at the Cina house! Mommy had 3 friends over and they had fun stamping cards. We even had a surprise visit from Grandma & Grandpa for a little while. I was a good girl and went to bed by 9:15pm....I'm gonna sleep in until at least 7:30am tomorrow!!!

Relay For Life of Forest Grove.....

My friend Mary & I attended the Forest Grove Relay For Life event tonight. Mary came over before hand to hang out with Charlotte for a little while.

They had cool cupcakes at the event. Purple ribbons - the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life ribbon color. I had to bring a couple home for Victor!

Happy Valentine's Day

WOW -- my Valentine's Days keep getting better & better! Check out what Victor & Charlotte made me for Valetine's Day 2007! Apparently they went to JoAnn's and bought all the supplies and then assembled my cards & present one afternoon while I was at work. Thank you Victor & Charlie! I love you two!!! ~ Kathy

Happy Birthday Daddy & Mommy Last Week!

Today is my daddy's 38th birthday! Mommy & I took him out to dinner and then came home and sang Happy Birthday!














Last Thursday was my mommy's birthday! She got lots of cool gifts! Check out what my Aunt Kellie, Uncle Tim and cousins Jack & Kaylie sent her.....cool....something new for me to chew on (NOT)!























Isn't my daddy the best..he helped me make mommy a hand made Birthday card!
















This is pretty cool....mommy discovered a new on-line photo place that is right here in Portland. It's not new, but NEW to mommy....isn't this 12"x12" photo of me GREAT!























Here I am just hanging out and having fun on my magic carpet.
















Friday night we ran a few errands and stopped by the Chocolate Crop at Scrapbook Attack to say hi to Doralisa & Sam too! I think I have a future in the scrapbooking world! I'm already working behind the counter! Well actually I was just trying to pull the pen out of Sam's hair!

Check ME out....I'm nine months old today!

We went to Babies-R-Us this afternoon to get my photos taken....Mommy & Daddy still can't believe I'm already 9 months old!!! He-he...I'll be walking SOON!

Mommy & Daddy had a Great Time Saturday Night!

Mommy didn't take her camera, but here's a picture at dinner....boy, they had a great time! Thanks you guys for treating my mom & dad out to a wonderful dinner!

Oh, did I mention there were gifts too?? Check out what Suz & DL made for my mommy..too cool!!! It makes turning (30-something) for he 8th year much easier!

Just Hangin' Out on a Monday Afternoon......

Fun on Superbowl Sunday -- Yeah COLTS!!!

We had a good time this afternoon watching the Colts beat Da Bears! The game just ended about 30 minutes ago....Charlotte slept thru part of it and then woke up to see the ending.

She also got her first baby biscuit today......glad Victor was home....she kinda ate it too quickly and we learned what NOT to do with a biscuit. At least we didn't have to give her another bath this afternoon.

Catching up.......

Here are Victor & Charlotte yesterday....the Baby Sign Language class registration ended up being a big-old mess (we didn't get contacted when they changed the class to 10:30am - Kathy was NOT happy)!!! So we are gonna do it all on our own! There is a great PBS show called "Signing Time" on Sunday's @7am that we've been taping and practicing signs.
Here's Charlotte enjoying more water!!! She loves drinking from her sippy cup.
