family pictures!

Op 6 mei hebben wij onze allereerste familiefoto's gemaakt! Met een, al zeg ik het zelf, prachtig eindresultaat... jaja, ik ben een trotse mama!


On May 6th we had our very first family pictures taken! And, if I may say so myself, they turned out beautifully! ... yeah, I'm a proud mama!

here's a selection...

Mayfest, Graduation and visiting siblings!

a note from Ariana's desk...

I'm three and a half months and I can roll from my tummy to my back when I really try! I can stand up with help cause my legs are really strong! I love to giggle when mommy tickles me or kisses me in my neck! I don't really like to take naps in my crib, I know I should... but I like to fall asleep on mommy's shoulder! :o)
 
This week was eventful! My cousin Chris graduated from Jenks Highschool and my big brother Ricky and sister Brittany visited from Dallas! Then There was Tulsa's annual International Mayfest (I think the international part was probably Camilla and Mommy representing Norway and the Netherlands!) We also went to the Dilly Deli, a yummy sandwich restaurant in the heart of Tulsa's Downtown Blue Dome District!

here are some pictures mommy took, have fun!

visiting with our neighbour Miss Phillys....
she thinks I'm the cats pyama's!
(I think that means that I'm stinkin' cute!)
 
in my business... I'm a mogul!
good job!

 

the good kind of pride

I'm mesmerized! Obviously biased I think my little Ariana is the most precious and pretty little baby girl I've ever seen! and she's ours!
 When innocent bystanders stop me with 'ooh she's so pretty!' and 'awhh, what a beauty!' with a proud smile and an momentously  unabashed " I KNOW RIGHT!?'
 I wish you could all see the smiles I get when I talk to her, the giggles that started yesterday when I kiss her in her neck! She's the most precious blessing I could have imagined... and no, I don't get anything done in the house because... yes, I stare at her all day long!
