Getting Ready for Christmas


Take a look at all of our Christmas preparation. It certainly is fun to have 2 little people to help us prepare for the holiday. It's so sweet to see the two of them interact as we develop our family traditions. Adriana is so loving and takes great pride in helping to get Cristian ready for all of the various activities. She watches out for him and is taking very seriously her charge to show him the ropes and teach him how to play. She sits next to him and listens to him babble, she talks right back as if she could understand his every word. He's lucky to have such a doting little sister.

We went to the Farmer's Market and picked out our Christmas tree. The man at the lot remembered us from last year and wished Cristian a happy first Christmas. Adriana was very surprised when we got out of the car at home to see that we had actually brought the tree home with us. She was jumping up and down saying "Christmas Tree! Christmas Tree!" Later we went to the Holidazzle parade down town with Derrick, Melissa & Allison. It's such fun to see the girls play together. This was definitely a weekend to remember.

The Animal Book.

Adriana loves her little brother Cristian so much that cannot wait to read him a bed story.

Ain't he sweet?

He's really getting quite photogenic, wouldn't you say?


He's even starting to get chatty...maybe someday he'll be just as chatty as his big sister!

The Mobile


Great-Grandma & Grandpa Brown gave Cristian a mobile to help stimulate his brain. The mobile rotates, plays music and also projects lights in the shape of stars and moons onto the canopy. Cristian is facinated by the movement and the lights. Before the mobile he wouldn't lay in his crib awake, now he will stay in there laughing away for almost an hour! The mobile was also a hit with Adriana. She even got in the crib with him so she too could enjoy it from the best angle. Aren't they just the cutest pair?

Bautiso de Cristian Miguel







Septiembre 27, 2008

El dia del bautiso comenzo llendo a la misa y escuchando a mi abuela cantar. Luego que la misa termino procedimos a bautizarme y fue mi turno para cantar...y cante bien duro! Despues comimos una cena fabulosa con mis padrinos, Angel & Michelle, mi tia Katrina, mi tio Grant, mis abuelos Blonigan y mi hermana mayor. Leche para unos y pasticho para los demas. Mi hermana se comio la flor mas grande de encima de la torta y se lleno la cara de crema pastelera azul.





Cristian's first roadtrip



We hit the road to Kansas City last weekend to visit G&G Brown (a.k.a. J & J Brown) and the Jay Brown family. Cristian met lots of new family members, his Great-grandparents, Jay and Teri Brown, Jerry III, Brandi & Cienna, Jennifer and, of course, Husker. It was quite a relaxing time to wake up in the same house as 4 grandparents!
