Playing at daycare

Geraldine sent this short video to my phone today. Stasa's just staring at Blue and then gets so excited when she realizes there's someone there to crawl to.

Saturday Night

Stasa gets to play for about an hour after she eats before she goes to bed. I spent Saturday afternoon packing away her 6 month clothes and breaking out her fall/winter clothes, so she go to wear her first big girl PJs that night. Here are some pictures before bedtime.

She's "petting" her Booz Allen bear

This is her "I'm not doing anything. I promise" face.

Take 2 of the "angelic" face

Her newest toy, an old DirecTV remote


For some reason she loves chewing and biting her sleeves

36 Weeks Old

Lounging like the big girl that she is.

Having fun in her christening gown.

What, mom? I'm not doing anything. I promise.

Where did that cat go? I thought I just saw her!

Her new favorite thing - sticking her tongue out and blowing spit bubbles, just like a dog.


Hold on. Wait a minute. I'm not ready.

My First Redskins Game

I went to my first Redskins game on Sunday, Redskins vs. Rams at FedEx Field.

I'm still sleepy on my way to Aunt Peggy and Uncle Pat's house, but I'm dressed in layers of Redskins gear.

We parked in the Gray lot and then hiked over to the Green lot for some tailgating fun.

I sat with Uncle Dave, Daddy, Mommy and Crazy Uncie Matt

Tailgating was a lot of fun - I even got to eat some cheese.

Uncie Matt has a comfy lap.

I'm probably the cutest Redskins cheerleader.

I love Mommy's sunglasses, but she won't share!

We're heading up to our seats! Mommy says it's a loooooooong way up.

Once we got up to our seats, I ate and then went into a deep milk coma. I slept through the first 3 quarters of the game.

I finally woke up after the 4th quarter started.

Then I was ready to cheer!

Mommy and Uncle Dave kept me entertained.

This guy had the funniest jersey...I wonder what Snyder thinks of it?

I was not a happy camper on the ride home. I was tired and hungry and I gave Uncle Dave a headache with all of my screaming.

Goofing off on the weekend

I know, I know, I'm cute. Now tell me how much you love my outfit.

Little piggies playing with the big sows.

Stasa's crazy little belly button

Wrinkly little feets

BLAHHHHHHHH

My Fairy Godmothers

It's my baptism and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to.

Stasa was not a fan of her handmade christening gown. Booger. She does love her fairy godmothers, even though it doesn't appear that way in these pictures. She's already practicing her cute face for Godmother Jennifer's wedding.

35 Weeks Old

Happy 35 weeks, Stasa!

We spent a lot of time playing yesterday after we got home. Since it wasn't bath night, I put her in her pjs right away. She has a little bit of a runny nose, but we think it might be allergies since we've been sleeping with the windows open and both Tom and I are sneezing, too. It's just so nice to have fresh air coming in and I love hearing the birdies in the morning.

Here's the land shark in her "boat" with her little friend. All aboard!

Kisses from daddy make everything better.

Making baby candy corn!

What? I'm not doing anything.

Who needs actual toys when you have empty boxes?

Daddy! Daddy! I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed you!

I love my daddy!
