July 2015

July 3rd, listening to the music on a hot morning at the Blues Fest with Anma

On the dance floor with Dada


Cooling off in Anma and Pop-pop's hotel room. Thank you Anma and Pop-pop for getting a hotel right by the Blues Fest stages. It was great to watch the fireworks from the balcony but even better for escaping the heat!



July 7th, playtime!

July 11th, Mariela checking out her new magazine. Thank you G.G. and Baba, I'm not sure what Lela thinks is more fun, learning about all the animals or finding something in the mailbox addressed for her :)

Lela helping Luz to "smile" for the picture while they read with Dad.

July 12th, getting the highchair ready for Luz

Luz so excited to be a little bit higher and able to see what's going on.

July 13th, 1st family dinner with Luz joining us at the table. Luz is WAY happier now that she can sit by herself at the table and play.

1st time eating solid food. We gave her the traditional rice cereal mixed with breast milk 

July 15th, Mommy/daughter afternoon at the library waiting for the reptile man to show us all the reptiles he brought.

July18th, Mornings playing in the highchair while everyone gets ready for work and school have been a lot of fun too!

July 19th, 6 months old and full of smiles :)

Relaxing family morning checking out Westmorland Park

Lela having a lot of fun playing in the water at Westmoreland Nature Park
July 21st, did take too many feedings before Luz fully got into the act of eating. Yummy avocado.
Mariela's bathroom. Complete with a potty, sink, and hand dryer. I laughed when I realized she was using her "hand dryer" because Mariela HATES when we use a public bathroom and they have a hand dryer. She'll refuse to use it and instead insist on finding something in the diaper bag to wipe her hands on.  

July 29th, yogurt time!
