A Sneak Peek at my Three Month Glamour Shots

This was mommy and daddy's favorite.


I had to be sure to work in all my new moves. Both the photographer and I get tickled when I try my rolling over trick. Mom, on the other hand, was a little nervous.


Check out the one-armed tummy time!!


Make sure you get my good side.


Got to be sure to get a wide shot of the dress. Fashion was courtesy of some of mom's ESL students from last year.


Wow!! I'm sitting up already!!



Well, not really. It's amazing what a boppy and mom's cleverly hidden hands can do.

More Backyard Fun (He-He-He!!)


Paddy cake, paddy cake baker's man...bake me a cake as fast as you can


Roll it, flatten it, mark it with a 'B'


Put it in the oven for baby and me!!

A Little Leisurely Reading




Now that the worst of summer is behind us, dad and I can take in the backyard scenery and read the Chron.


Wow, there is a lot of heavy stuff that is going on in the world...the Iraq War, the Jena 6, Britney Spears


I'm so overwhelmed!!


Hold me dad!!


Whew, thank goodness for the Sunday funnies.

Labor Day Weekend (Three Days Off YEAH!!)


The best part about the kick off to the weekend is catching some extra zzz's with dad.



Then, we have a nice leisurely breakfast. Who needs flowers on the table when you can have a baby centerpiece?


Mom went to an Indymedia meeting on Saturday. I put on my 'serious journalist' face in the hopes she would take me along.



When that didn't work, I BEGGED!!!


Finally, I resorted to my downtrodden baby look.


I think she finally caved when I reminded her that I was on the radio after all since before I was even born.


When we got home that afternoon, we dove right in to the last couple chapters of Harry Potter. I laughed, I cried, I peed my pants!! (Oh wait, I do that all the time anyway).




Grandma Arriaga baked a cake and we got to celebrate dad's birthday.



She also brought me this very cute dress from her recent trip to San Francisco.


It wasn't even my birthday!!



I did, however, have a little bit of a hard time believing dad was only 7 years old.



Then again, he is like a big kid!!


Finally, I got to meet Ken. As you can see, he is a man with a definite point of view


I guess you're never too young to start your file with the FBI.

America's Next Top Baby Model

My first month shots were a little rough, I was hungry and there was just no chemistry between the photographer and I.


Nonetheless I did my best to still look adorable and 'work it'.


This one is my personal favorite.


By two months though, as you can see, I really have this modeling thing down.


The wardrobe for this shoot is courtesy of Aunt Dar, Uncle Pat, Erin and Molly.


I really like this Anne Geddes interpretation (I asked about one of those bee getups, but they said it was at the cleaners).


My Playbaby centerfold shot


Mom and dad 'awed' at these last two, so I'm guessing these are high on their list of faves.

How I Keep My Girlish Figure


I start my workout by swatting at some of the rattles in my gym.


It's always hard to decide between the butterfly and the sunflower.


Next I practice rolling over.


Won't be long now before I am successful in my quest.


Naturally I take a break to suck on my fingers.


After that it is some 'tummy time'...


also known as 'baby cobra' in yoga circles.


For my cool down, it's 15 minutes in the swing.


I really work up a sweat after all of that (or I spit up, or have a diaper blowout), so one of my personal trainers (AKA...mom and dad) puts me in some new threads.

Meeting Aunt Beth (Week of August 6th)


Aunt Beth stopped by to chill for a few days on her way to San Diego.


Aunt Beth is into fashion, so I thought I would impress her with my gangsta' flower look.


Mom, dad, and I also wanted to wow her with our own boardwalk.


We checked out some stingrays.


Mom was a wuss when it came to feeding them.


Aunt Beth was not.


We walked up and down the Kemah Boarwalk and milled through the crowd.


We also did the Starbucks thing.


Mom, as you can see, had decaf.
