Hanging out... Quality time

We had a great day with the Kangs on Sunday, April 30. We went to one of our favorite restaurants, P.F. Changs , and then just spent some time hanging out.

Little Zane is just as cute as ever!

Of course, Brianna was just as intrigued as ever with all the stuff going on around her. She is such a sponge taking in everything. If she ever gets too board, her bib says what she wants...

Here's a quick picture we took on Sunday, May 7, 2006. Our little angel...

It's a small world

When we were taking our birthing classes there was this couple that looked familiar, but we didn't think anything of it. Then after the last class, we find out that Diana is from Argentina and went to medical school at the same university as Bibi attended. We have tons of mutual friends and their son, Zane, was born 3 days after Brianna.

We are so excited about our new friendship with HP & Diana (check out their blog to the left). Brianna is also glad to have another friend.

First word at 2 months old

At less than 2 months old, Brianna said her first word!!

OK, so you might think this is just the "new parent" syndrome thinking that our baby is so advanced... which we have already heard from some friends that we told.

Of course she is just copying what we say to her, but isn't that what language is? A very complex system of associating shapes, sounds and meaning?

Anyway, what we were saying to her is " Ajó " (traditionally what they say to babies in Argentina to make them smile). Then one day she just started copying us.

There has been so much doubt by friends of ours, that we put it on video to prove what we are saying is true. So here you have the proof that Biranna is saying her first word at the age of 2 months.

Melt Your Heart pictures

Here are a bunch of the best pictures of little Brianna. She is just the most alive little firecracker you've ever seen. It's so much fun interacting with her so much now.

(I've downloaded higher quality of all these pictures. If you click on a picture then right click on the bigger picture you can save it to your computer.)

This is how she gets all bundled up to sleep. Taken on March 30, 26 days old.

I know I'm a flirt already... but my Daddy won't let me start dating till I'm 45 years old... That's a long wait considering I'm only 1 month & 5 days old right now.

This is Mommy's favorite picture of me so far... She says I'm just PERFECT!! This was my little outfit to celebrate my Daddy's birthday.

I got all dressed up on Monday, April 17, to go shopping with my Mommy. I was quite the hit at the mall...

I know I'm cute. I'm just waiting to go outside and showoff my new sundress...

Oh yea... Check out my shoes!! Man it's great living this life!! I eat, get cleaned up, get the cutest little outfits to wear, go look adorable for everyone, then eat again! Things couldn't be better!!

Happy Birthday Mommy

Friday, April 21, was Bibi's birthday and Brianna got dressed up fashionably for the occasion.



We went to Las Veags for the weekend to hear John Maxwell talk on Leadership. It was a great weekend. Grampa & Grammy met us there to be with Brianna while we were in meetings. It was a great time!

Brianna also stood on her own for the first time as a great Birthday gift to Mommy... :-)

Happy Easter

Brianna's first Easter was full of fun things.

Of course, the first thing was to dress up to match the Easter Bunny.



Then we went to an Easter Egg Hunt with our Argentine friends.

It was super fun and all the kids had a great time. Brianna was very intrigued by all her little friends that she will grow up with.

Jeremy's Birthday

Jeremy turned 31 today!! And Brianna got all dressed up special for the occasion.

The clothes look great... But the smile melts the heart!!!

We had a busy day after church. We had lunch with Grampa & Grandma Bieber where Grampa had a great time playing with his Great-granddaughter.



Then we got to see little Brycen McGill for the first time! We caught him during nap time, but enjoyed holding him all the same.

Jeremy & Wendy McGill were excited to see how much Brianna has grown since they saw her when she was 1 week old.

Later that afternoon we took Brianna to Saddleback Church for the first time. Their Saturday evening Easter service was such a blessing, as it always is when we attend. Rick Warren has a spectacular way of boiling down the basic truths of the Bible into practical, applicable concepts.

After the service and running some quick errands in Orange County, we were excited to meet up with Carl & Lenore Caldwell, some good friends of ours that have recently moved to Kansas City. They were back visitng friends and family, so we stopped in to see them.

It was a busy day, but full of the most important thing in life... time with family and friends...

And a GREAT birthday too!!!

Congrats to LeRoy & Lee-Ann

We'd like to send our deepest congratulations out to LeRoy & Lee-Ann Munetsi on the birth of their son Luhle Eli. In the picture below he is with their daughter Lenhle.



He was born a month early on February 25, 2006, weighing in at 6 lbs 4.5 oz and measuring 19 inches long. LeRoy was Jeremy's best childhood friend in Zimbabwe, and how lives with his gorgeous family in Johannesburg, South Africa. (See their web page to the right).

We know Luhle is going to be a life-long friend of Brianna's because they both are fans of the same awesome Argentine soccer team, Club Atletico River Plate.





Here is the most stylish model in South Africa, Lenhle...

2 Months old

Brianna Cherisse is 2 months old today!!

Time has just flown by and she is growing so fast! She is very responsive, smiling a lot and starting to coo.

Mommy got her all dressed up to celebrate her 2 month birthday!

She just loves the attention and put on a show for the camera.

This smile is why Daddy is already wrapped around her little finger...
