Roll Over Everyone!

I think Desi rolled over for the first time from her back to her tummy on August 10, 2008. She's starting to move...

Meeting Uncle Kieran

Desi met Uncle Kieran for the first time on August 10, 2008. Uncle Kieran was very excited to see her. Here's Uncle Kieran, Auntie Olivia, his girlfriend, and Desi.

A Visit from Auntie Angie

Auntie Angie came down to visit during the weekend of August 16, 2008. Auntie Charmaine, Uncle David, Auntie Ashli and Uncle Andre came over on Saturday to swim and hang out too. Auntie Alisa, Uncle Colin, Kayla, Kiana and Auntie Maria and Elizabeth came over on Sunday to swim also. What a weekend!

Playing with Auntie Charmaine.

Auntie Angie lathering Desi up with sunscreen.

All dolled up for the pool.

Auntie Ashli and Uncle David.
Chillin in the pool.

Learning to float on her back.
There's Mommy!
And the gang.

What a day!

But Mommy, Daddy and Auntie Angie still found energy to go out for a few hours.

There are the playmates... Kiana (notice the feet; she put herself in the seat), Elizabeth and Kayla.
Auntie Alisa, Kiana, Kayla and Uncle Colin.

Holding My Head Up

Hanging out with Daddy and practicing holding her head up.

Chill'n with Grandma

Grandma Price is staying with us for a while. Desi loves to hang out with her too.

Sleeping With Daddy

Desi loves to sleep on her Daddy. And her Daddy loves it too. Drool and all!

My First Swim - August 9, 2008

Desi hit the water in our pool for the first time with Daddy. She was hungry, so it was a short swim and she wasn't very happy. I think she likes the water though. If not, she better learn to love it... :)

Beijing Olympics- August 8, 2008

We got together with the family at Auntie Gracie and Uncle Kevin's house to watch the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games. UNBELIEVABLE. GO CHINA!

There's Nana, GungGung and Airee with the Olympic hats we got in China.
And there's Colin and Desi representing T&T!

My Little Gansta!

Our friends Shannon and Carmen came by to visit. Shannon had these miniature brass knuckles on his key chain. We couldn't resist trying them on.

Hanging Around

Some random pictures of Desi hanging out and showing off her cute outfits. She's growing like a weed!



Lying around with cousin Airee.
Sleeping beauty.

Daddy loves Rodbenders!

Nana's girl.

Check the hair.
Why is she always yawning with Daddy?
How cute. (I've got to save this pictures right side up before I load them next time.)

Visit with Aunt Kristen and Grace- July 23, 2008

We drove up to Ft. Myers to visit Aunt Kristen and Grace (Uncle Brandon was working) on Wednesday, July 23, 2008, with Airee, Nana and the Chea kids. It was Desi's first long car trip and she was GREAT!

Airee LOVED Grace's toy kitchen.

Desi started creeping on this trip. I didn't leave her lying in this direction. Mommy quickly learned that she can't leave Desi lying around any where anymore.

What a big girl!
There's everyone.

We even got to Sanibel beach. It was very hot. I thought my girl had passed out!

Thanks for a great day!

Trying to Sooth Desi

In our efforts to sooth Desi we resorted to the pacifier. Thank god for us in the long run, she didn't really like it, but we snapped this picture just before she spit it out.

Ticks, Ticks and More Ticks

On June 19th, we discovered ticks in the house. We had trimmed an avocado tree which apparently had a colony of ticks living in it. They infested the dog (my mother-in-law's dog) and started coming into the house (the dog sits by the sliding glass doors). New parent anxiety swept in and Desi and I were off to my parent's house. We were there for about 10 days. I slept on an air matress and Desi slept on top of me. Colin stayed home to take care of things. Although we missed Daddy, we had a great time!

Move over Airee... the new princess has arrived!

The Casey girls...

I moved the air matress to the living room. It as more comfortable to breastfeed on a couch then the floor in the room.
Auntie Liann helped babysit.

Desi slept in Nana and GungGung's bed.

And played with everyone.

She found her fingers!

Desi took baths by the kitchen sink.

We hung out with Nana.

And we even went to a church outing.
