Grace Eva Poeschl | Ladera Ranch, CA

Ashleey’s 18th Birthday | Corona, CA

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEEY !!!

Today was special for a couple of reasons:

  1. Ashleey is able to vote
  2. She is able to buy lottery tickets and actually WIN the money
  3. She can enlist in the Military
  4. She can vote
  5. She can be tried in the courts as an adult (not a real benefit…)
  6. She can drive
  7. She got a car  :)

She looked so excited when everyone piled out of the house to the driveway where she was presented her new classic Cadillac Coupe de Ville.  She stood stunned and after hugging her mom, she repeated “This is my car !!” over and over.  She was truly surprised, happy and thankful.  Enjoy your new ride Ashleey !

Gracie in Glasses | Ladera Ranch, CA

I asked Heather to go get the mail but she had Grace in her arms…  and it is sunny out today… so what else do you do?  You grab the little pink sunglasses that are laying in the diaper bag and slap them on your unsuspecting daughter…..  I almost wet myself :)  She was so cute it was funny.

So I am sitting in a meeting…

When I get an email from Heather. It included a photo that made me laugh out loud. Grace has been smiling at me for a couple days now and I am glad that Heather was able to snag this great moment!

Another Bathtime

Here are some more bathtime photos.  Cute little chicken bathrobe that has Grace embroidered on the back. Thanks Anita!  Grace just loves getting a bath! She gets so relaxed.  The only part she doesn’t like is getting out and drying off.  We enjoy it all.  She has this little cooing noise that she makes that sounds like a light cry, it’s just so cute.  We recorded it earlier today and I will post it up here when I get a chance.  If you would like to order any prints (MOM) head on over here!

Grace’s First Bath | Ladera Ranch

So, a little more than 22 days ago, Grace was born.  We just got done giving her her fist bath where she sat in water.  It is not to say that this is her FIRST bath EVER, just the first in a tub :)  Mom was worried that she would freak out so we planned to have everything right there, easily accessible in order to limit the torture on baby.  Suprisingly, she was completely calm and serene in the water and surrounded by little bubbles, non of which came from her :)  She was even calm enough to allow me to snap some shots of her in her towel…  don’t worry, there will be MANY more photos like this as time goes by.

Baby Names - BabyNamey.com Name Badge Ticker
We are supposed to head over to the pediatrician today for her first checkup since her birth.  She has been such a good and manageable baby, except when she likes to be alert from midnight to 4 AM :)  She is actually alert RIGHT NOW and when she is awake like this, she spends tons of time just looking at whoever is holding her.  I know I am biased but my daughter is the most beautiful thing I have seen.
