February (Maverick is 6 Months)

 Maverick is the happiest baby. He never cries...unless we are trying to put him to sleep in his own bed at night. :) His naps are now regular (finally) and he takes them in his crib without any trouble, but he still spends most of the night in our bed nursing. He is starting to scoot--mostly backwards, but he will scoot forwards on occasion as well. He is experimenting with more foods and popped his 2 bottom teeth. He is so chubby and in the 90th percentile for height and weight. He has great baby hair. When he was a newborn it grew in the sweetest little swirl in the front and now his cowlicks make it look like he has a faux-hawk...it grows straight up on top and is short on the sides. Fits his personality perfectly.









 He ADORES his big sissy and she loves him so much. She wants to snuggle him and take care of him. She is really helpful, but can be a little too wild and rough.
 Wild man!
 I mean, look at these BUNS!!!!
 He loves his grandma and grandpa and has a special bond with his "Bomp" who we all think he resembles.
 My babies doing "skin to skin" (a term that Liliana learned when I was pregnant and always wants to do it.)


 Rolls!!
 Daddy's little Bolts fans
 Maverick's play group babies (we have play group every Wednesday). Mav is on the far left.:

Bomp and Lila building "condomillions" (condominiums), one of her favorite pastimes.

Liliana takes cheer leading and gymnastics at our health club. Here she is ready for gymnastics. She looked so cute but had a fit about how tight the outfit was and hasn't worn it since. She is VERY sensitive to how clothes fit her and freaks out about the slightest discomfort. As she says, "I have sensories. I am very sensitive."

 My little diva at the Discovery Museum
 Getting dolled up at the salon...conditioning treatment and trim...
 Best grandparents/babysitters EVER! It is so amazing to get pictures like this from your family when you are out on a date.
 Oysters in San Francisco during our family "stay-cation". We got a hotel room down by the wharf and did all of the touristy kid things all day and watched movies and had dessert in bed at night. A perfect trip for Liliana Rose.
 The Oakland Zoo with Paxton...


 Liliana posing on our deck during a weekend family trip to Monterey. We had a great time at the aquarium and exploring the town. It was a really special trip.
Valentine's Day!! We had heart shaped pancakes for breakfast, Liliana had a V-day party at school to which she wore her special dress that she designed and picked the material for and Grandma sewed, and at night we made heart shaped pizza and used the heart shaped serving dish that Liliana made for Adam as his Valentine's Day gift.
