more pics of Mothers day

Mother's Day Love

Lots of happenings since I last posted. I have a post ready to put up regarding having some great friends come through to visit and our trip to Philly. But here are some sweet Mother's day photos! For some reason blogger is giving me trouble with photo layouts so you'll have to turn your head to see some of these!

easter!!!!

Last weekend was so fun even though Maggie and I were under the weather. We would have taken more Easter pictures but Mags had a bit of an "issue" and ruined her pretty outfit. She loved her basket although she loved to eat the outside of the egg which i guess is best since she cant eat the inside candy yet. On another note, Maggie's latest thing is sticking out her tongue. She's obsessed! I think she think its like a smile but more. So if she greets you with sticking out her tongue, know that its her way of saying she really likes you!

Newness

Loving the outdoors

I am proud to announce that Maggie loves being outside. We have really enjoyed the weather lately-i will work in the yard and she will just sit on a big blanket and smile at people passing by. It's made yard work alot easier for me b/c i know she is enjoying being out there so much. Please stop by and see our new ferns which have cozied up our front porch. come sit and swing and drink ice tea.

The Street Weekend

Our favorite Streets came into town this weekend. No, not our favorite british band but Sara and Brian! Mojo was a happy man as the Streets are way into basketball. We had such a fun and relaxing weekend!!! We loved the weekend! Maggie LOVED Sara and Brian and missed them terribly but they are coming back soon!!! Thanks for coming!

Maggie "stats"

I forgot to mention Maggie's stats when she went to her 6 month check up, almost a month ago.
She weighed in at 16 lbs. 13.5 oz. and is 27 in.
She is eating baby food (but doesnt like peas) and is sitting up quite nicely!

4 generations of italians..well, Maggie's only a 1/4

R & R in CA

We just got back from a short but relaxing trip to sunny CA. A much needed rest awaited us plus Maggie got to meet special people that she hasn't met before like her Aunt Nikki and Great Grandma Emily! The first couple days all we did was sit by the pool, go for Maggie's first swims and rest. We ate one too many In and Out burgers and Mojo drove to find his fish tacos and rice and bean burritos. He was a happy man. Mags got to spend lots of time with her grandma those first days and hug on her Aunt Nikki and Uncle Spencer. After that, my sweet hubby surprised me by taking me up to Hollywood and letting me splurged on fun clothes from Melrose Ave. Sunday Night we went down to Laguna and ate yummy seafood and drank wine by the ocean. Monday we spent the day down at Huntington Beach, which is fast becoming one of my favorite spots when we go out there. Maggie loved the beach and we ate the best calamari of my life there! Then we went down to Laguna Beach to watch the sunset. We ran into one of Matt's high school buddies who told us about this little restaurant right on the sand near Newport Beach. You park across the highway and then take a shuttle to this little secluded spot down on the water. We got steak and swordfish and it was great! They had heaters on the deck and warm blankets to get cozy with-it's called the Beachcomber if you ever want a great date and are near there.
One of the best things though was Maggie spending time with her great grandma who is 93ish! So sweet! We came back to wonderful blossoms on the trees and hopefully spring is here to stay. Today Maggie is still adjusting to the time change and I'm spring cleaning and filling our house with tulips and daffodils!

We are ready for warmer weather!

So mommy and me had a bit of a fashion show today. She was so excited to buy me a swimsuit, we decided to try on a couple o my new warmer weather clothes! My mommy needs a vacation and so she's getting me ready for the beach! hopefully we can take a family break for the sun soon!

i'm cute

I actually went out in public with this outfit on....

So my mommy gets home from work, takes one look at me and says to daddy...."are you serious?" she thought maybe he was trying to be funny!
I went to a coffee house in this oufit! i kept telling my daddy that my shirt was backward and my pants and socks dont match but he just thought i was adorable! my mommy changed me immediately....

My cute hat finally fits!

I LOVE my johnny jump up!!!!

Ever since the holidays we've havent taken many photos. It's been such a busy time for us as I started my internship for graduate school. Here are a couple photos of when Maggie was my little date for a wedding.
