7, 8, and nearly 9!!!

Phew time really flies by! I wish I could say it has all been fun but unfortunately this summer brought very tough times for our entire family. My dad passed on August 8 after several years of fighting various illnesses. Everyday we miss him but know he is feeling weightless and free in Heaven watching us. 

He sang Arabella this song every time he saw her or I had him on the phone:

To the rhythm if Mona Lisa 

"Arabella, Arabella, Arabella.....

You a smella, you a smella, you a smella..."!

My dad could talk infant/toddler with the best of them. It would just light Arabella's smile right up. I wish they would have had more time here together- but we will make sure that she knows both of her grandpas through our actions and stories. 

So what's new these 3 months? Tosh and I went to napa with our friends kris and Lindsey to experience our first earthquake :) we had a great time and A got to spend some qt with her nana.

Before grandpas services with the doll that he gave her.

Arabella served as a baby model volunteer for a photography class. We got some good shots from it :)

A'a pals Lauren and nick took off to NYC - we miss them!

First trip to the zoo with Stephen and Stephanie!

Nothing cuter than naked baby before baths!

Arabella has started eating more textures and really just wants what is off of mom and dads plate now!
