Where do I begin?

February has been one of THOSE months.  You know, the kind that has flown by and you can barely even remember to brush your teeth in the mornings cuz you have so much to do.  This is why I have started stashing Monster lo-carb energy drinks and gum in my car/purse/trunk/diaper bag! I am not complaining, however, I feel very blessed.  My work schedule has changed a bit so that Greg, Dags, and I could start going to church.  My mom had a scare and was in the hospital for about a week, but she is out now, home, and doing well.  Nana's 80th bday was this month and we had a doozy of a celebration, full of fun and surprises.  I got to see my brother, Ray Valenz, the most handsome man in sideshow, perform with his troupe THE CIRCUS EMPORIUM ROADSHOW. My dear dear friend (83-43-1) is pregnant and so far her pregnancy is going well! If I may ask, for all those that pray, please pray that everything goes well and that this new sweet baby comes to meet us and join us on this journey we call LIFE. :)
 Then there was Valentine's day :)  The sweetest husband in the world got me some princess cut diamond earrings and I got him a Kindle touch.  Dagny is still the cutest, sweetest, and cuddliest baby I know and she is only 5 months old!  My mom got us a baby bullet and so far so good!! (More on Dagny's eating adventures later!)

February is almost over, and tomorrow is leap day.  This year I will leap for joy as a symbol for my gratefulness for my family, my friends, my health, all the love surrounding me, and for any trials that are thrown my way because no matter what happens (i believe everything happens for a reason) I have support.  I have these people who love me, who will help me, who will be there for me if ever I need these things.  To these precious people, and I hope you all know who you are, I offer the same to you.  I need you, and if ever you need me......I am here. 

OK, OK OK.......I can almost hear you guys saying, What?? No pictures? I "read"this blog simply for the pictures!!
I don't want you to feel jipped so I promise to be back soon with TONS of em.  I just wanted to let you know that i am still alive. :)

Adventures of Dagny

Every day, Dagny brings us joy!  She is a really good baby, and I am always hearing it from people to watch out cuz either 1) She is going to be a monster toddler or 2) The next baby is gonna be a handful.  Wutevs!!! I will be the best parent that I can be, loving, kind, and supportive and leave the rest in God's hands.


Dagny is pretty good during out photo shoots, however, we can quickly go to this----------->

 which is a pretty obvious sign that Dagny is done shooting for the time being!  I like how the drool is frozen in time, dangling from her precious little mouth. Haha, I'm sure she will love me for all the pics when she is older :)

Here is Dagny with  her daddy, getting ready for her bath.  She has not once had a problem getting baths.  From the very first bath, she sat there calmly, enjoying the view and the new experience.

 Not once has she cried! She splashes the water now and still looks around and smiles. 

 We dry her in her cute hooded towels, lather her up with baby lotion and baby oil so she stays nice and moisturized. 

But first, we take more pictures!!!!


And Dagny kindly indulges us with some cute poses :)

Sometimes Dagny is the spittin image of her Daddy! Like here. 

 And here!
But always a cute pie!!

 Help!!!! Somebody get me outta here!!

Thanks for reading my blog everybody! I'm glad I get to share Dagny with you all and I hope you enjoy her pics as much as I love snapping shots of her :)

Woah!

 I took this picture the other day with Dagny.....2012

and then I came across this picture from, like, 1982.....

Crazy, right? 

also, Dagny has discovered the joys of beans!! Yes--beans, beans, they're good for your heart, the more you eat, makes you less susceptible to colon cancer! Haha, I bet you thought i was gonna say "the more you fart"  But honestly, I could eat beans all day, everyday, and I do not have a problem with gas!  I attribute this to the fact that i was basically weaned from the breast straight to bean juice. (Thank you Nani).......but I digress.....Dagny is definitely a bean burrito baby!!
see?!!

 Love that Sweetie Pie!!!  I can hear her on the monitor right now, waking up in her crib.  She sings in the morning to get us to go in there! 
It is the best thing ever <3
