Rowe-union

Well this last weekend RAD-Mom's side of the family had a reunion. They call it a Roweunion since her Mom's side of the family are the Rowe's, get it?!! Anyhow, Mala Beba got to see her Great Grandma and Grandpa and Great Aunt's and Uncle's and Second Cousins as well. She had so much fun.
RAD-Mom decided to get her all dressed up and put her hair up in a faux-hawk, it was definatly cute! No one could believe how big Mala Beba is getting, and its true she grows so much everyday, its amazing to watch.


Here is a picture of some of the family, but unfortunately not everyone was present for this one but at least Grandma, Grandpa, and the Great Grandparents were in the picture with little Mala Beba! It was nice to be around family and Mala Beba didn't have a problem making her rounds among everyone. Mala Beba is at that stage of where she is reaching for everything, so we have to be aware when she is near our faces, especially, as Great Grandma found out!!!

By the end of the day Mala Beba was exhausted and it was time to go home for us, but we had fun and look forward to the next Rowe-union.

On another note, after RAD-Mom did Mala Beba's hair, we realized something, what do you think????

Mala Beba? or Jack-Jack?

which one is which?

A day of fun!

Today Mala Beba, RAD-mom and Aunt Cristina went out running errands and stopped by to see Uncle Haris' family. Ademira (Haris' mom) blessed Mala Beba with a Bosnian tradition to have old age, a sweet and nice life and to be healthy. Ema, Haris' sister, had Mala Beba laughing in her car seat on the way out, something RAD-mom and Design Dad have yet to accomplish. Looks like Ema will be hired full time to keep Mala Beba happy whenever we are getting ready to get in the car.

Mala Beba received a beautiful, fun, yellow dress from Ema and Ademira today. We can't wait to get it on her. Thank you Ema and Ademira for a wonderful Saturday visit! We will be over again soon, especially if there is a rhubarb pastry waiting for us!

4th of July at Rockaway Beach 08

Well we got to go to the Beach for the 4th of July. It was so much fun and so relaxing and Mala Beba's first visit to the beach, oh yeah and Taylor came along too. It was our first family vacation since Mala Beba was born and she did amazing! There was a swimming pool there so of course Mala Beba loved going swimming with Design Dad, she would just kick and splash and coo. I believe she is a natural, all I had to do was hold her head and she would float around with no help, until she found her thumb. That's another a thing, Mala Beba found her thumb this week, which is perfect timing since she is now sleeping in her crib.

RAD-Mom decided to let Mala Beba try some cotton candy this weekend and boy did someone love it! RAD-Mom only gave her a little bit, but Mala Beba sucked her finger of any cotton candy residue that might have been on there, it was very cute. We truely enjoyed our time at the beach and the relaxation we got from being away from home, it was nice to be around RAD-Mom's family as well, they helped out so much with Mala Beba and love her dearly. It was hard to leave the beach and the view we had, but we'll be back next year!

First Blog

Well this is my first shot at blogging, I figured this would be a good way to kind of keep a journal for ourselves while also sharing with our friends and family the things that are going on in our lives. Mala Beba is now 4 months old, its amazing how fast time flies by. She is getting so big, she is weighing in at just over 13 lbs and is now over 25 inches tall, she has grown 6 inches in 4 months, guess she takes after dad and not mom ;-).
Mala Beba has been a true blessing in our lives, she has made us slow down, but at the same time she keeps us so busy, I know that makes sense to everyone that has a kid. Rad-Mom and I look at eachother sometimes and ask, "What did we do before her? What was life like?" Its crazy how things in your life change when you are blessed with an angel. Over all she is a wonderful baby. She loves to smile and talk, and boy when she starts a talking she can go for like 20 minutes its so funny and cute. She has been laughing as well, Alicia is really good at getting her to laugh, while on the other hand, while I can get her to talk, its a real job for me to get her to laugh. She's a stubborn one at times (I say she gets it from Rad-Mom, but truth is, she gets it from both of us). She knows what she wants and if she doesn't get it she'll let you know.
This week we are headed to Rockaway Beach (Oregon Coast) for the 4th of July, it will be Mala Beba's first trip to the beach, we just hope the weather holds out.
Last week we took her swimming, she loved it, I'll have to post some pictures of that as soon as I get some transferred to the computer and get some from Rad-Mom's parents. She loved the pool, she kicked and splashed and talked, we had a great time with her.
Well I don't know how to end this so I'll just end it like this......
