Smiles!

It's getting a tiny bit easier to capture a smile with the camera! Gee, I do love these smiles from our sweet baby girl :)

Excuse the mis-matched outfit...we were headed out for a walk and I thought she might need a sweater!

One might even assume this was a chubby baby! The camera really does add 10 pounds!

"Mama....these are toooooo big!" They sure are adorable though! Good thing we know babies grow! (Thank you for funding my fabulous new slippers, Auntie Melanie and Uncle Carlo!)

Sibling love :)

Having fun together already :)

'Naptime'

This was 'naptime' today...

Beautiful Blues

I can only hope Maliya's big blue eyes will stick around like her cousin Paige's beautiful blues!

So funny. Miss Maliya couldn't take her eyes off her Uncle Allan. In fact, she hardly blinked!

SURPRISE!

Surprise!!! Can you believe your eyes?

After nearly FOUR months, I'm baaaack. For those that have talked about it with me, you know that I was not planning to post anymore entries until I've 'caught up' with stuff that was missed...my hospitalization, the birth of our beautiful baby girl, and life since then. Well, as the days pass by, and more and more pictures are taken, I'm realizing if I don't at least continue on, I will likely never 'catch up', as their will be far too much to go back on! So, for now, I'll try and keep at least some normalcy/regularity to the blog, but I sure can't guarantee as many posts as pre-baby #2. Life is busy now! If I find myself with some 'extra' time, I'll start working on the past four months.

Enjoy!

"Wow, they are actually letting me sit next to Maliya!"
Pure adoration :)
Hahahahaha.
We love those babies :)

This is her Grandpa Jim pose :)

Maliya's starting to look rather bored :)

Lucas just loves his baby sister!

"Ok, I've had enough of this now!"

Already looking up to her big brother :)

Maliya's First Road Trip

I took Miss Maliya for her first road trip...just us girls! Our itinerary? To meet her Great Grandparents and my cousin Andrea's baby shower.

Meeting her Great-Grandpa Van den Broek.

Meeting her Great-Grandma Van den Broek.

This is Maliya's younger-older (2nd) cousin. Figure that one out!

Ok, I'll help you. Ella was due before Maliya, but she was born after Maliya.

Owen (also Maliya's 2nd cousin) wanted to get in on the action!

Park With Paige

We met Allan and Paige at the park for some bike riding! Paige and Lucas

Uncle Allan lending Lucas a hand!

Is that Barney?
