This is a picture of what we found on Friday after one of Lena's naps... She had pulled herself up and was standing in her crib ready to play. She is growing up so quickly, it is crazy! After she had pulled herself up Olga had me run downstairs and grab the camera before she sat down again. She ended up standing for a while and smiling at us. Now she even stands up to her music table and plays with it.

Asleep in Daddy's Chair

I put Lena in Randy's chair, just expecting to rock her a little and play but after a couple of rocks she started nodding off and falling asleep. She must've been SO tired because it is typically a lot harder than that to get her to sleep. Goes to show how comfortable daddy's chair must be!

More Sunglasses

This is Lena wearing the pair of sunglasses we bought when we were on our honey moon in the Bahamas. The white sand was so white that we couldn't see so we bought the cheapest pairs of sunglasses we could find... we later realized that they were childrens' sunglasses. :)

Getting Around

As I briefly mentioned in my previous post... Lena has started crawling around. She officially started crawling in March 10th, 2011. In all of her attempts at crawling in the previous days she always found herself falling from her hands and knees onto her tummy. Well, she found a solution to this problem by keeping one foot on the ground and one knee on the ground. :) It was quite commical to see and Randy would call it her "Quazi Motto" (not sure how to spell) crawl because that's who she looked like when she did it. :) She can now crawl with BOTH knees on the ground.

New Shoes, New Adventure

The shoes in the picture above have a story to tell. These were my very first pair or good running shoes. My brother Sam bought them for me when I was a freshman in high school. We had a plan to start running together. He took me to the Foot Locker in the Crossroads mall and bought us both a pair of good shoes. I think he spent like $100 on my shoes and inserts! The reason I have had them so long is that I never really adopted a consistent exercise schedule until my senior year in high school when I trained for my first spring triathlon. I'm also run several 5ks and a couple beginner triathlons in these shoes. They have served me well and I will always have fond memories of them. And now of course after having them for so long it has finally come time for me to get a new pair of shoes.
Here's a picture of my new pair of shoes. I am training for a half marathon and am hoping that they will serve me well on this new endeavor of mine. I'm sure it will be an adventure. :)
I just had to throw this picture in here because now that Lena has started crawling (first officially started on March 10th) she saw me taking pictures of my new shoes and had to come be included in the excitement.

Drunk Baby!

This picture of Lena is simply just too funny for me not too post. I caught her in mid-blink and it totally makes her look like a drunk baby. The crooked smile adds a little bit to it as well. :)

Who Doesn't Love Seeing Lena in Her Diaper?

Here's a cute picture of Randy playing with Lena, she loves to sit in his lap like that when his legs are crossed and he's so cute with her. She's in her diaper in this picture because we were trying out a new teething toy which consisted of putting a whole strawberry in a net and her chewing on it and getting all of the juices out... needless to say, we didn't want her getting strawberry all over her outfit. :) I still need to post a picture of her two teeth. They are so cute! :)
