Nana Wendy & Zaida

Nalaina's mom came to town and was with us for a week over her spring break.  She was here with us for Opening Day and Easter and we got to go to Disneyland, too.

Zaida had a great time with Nana Wendy and can't wait until she comes back to see her again.

By the way, if you're wondering why these pictures are all so small when past posts have had the bigger sizes, I think it has to do with the plug-in issues I mentioned in the last post.  As soon as I can get it figured out, I'll come back and fix these so they're easier to look at.

Lots of “firsts”

It's been long, long time since we've updated the blog (again) and a lot has happened since then, as you might suspect. Zaida is more than four months old now and she's smiling and laughing pretty easily, which is a lot of fun.

She's also begun to roll over, which has made diaper changing a little bit more difficult, since she wants to roll out of the changing table.  She can scoot herself backwards and in circles pretty well, and we're not sure but we think we saw her crawl forward the other day, which we are definitely NOT ready for!

We've been feeding her rice cereal for the past couple of weeks, and she's starting to get used to it (we think).  Nalaina's much better at feeding her than I am, probably because she's more patient than me.  But Zaida likes her high chair, making that task a little easier.  

In other news, Zaida's become an old pro at going to baseball games (three and counting) and Disneyland (at least twice, but it might be more) and she's done great in both places.  We took her to Opening Day at Angel Stadium, and she fell fast asleep in the second inning and was out for the rest of the night.  Here are a couple pics from that.

At Disneyland, she lasted the whole day and did very well.

So those are the latest happenings in our world. 

One more thing.  If you've tried to look at pictures on the Harpers Nest Photos link, you may have noticed that it looks like the pictures are all gone.  They are still there, but for some reason the little thumbnails aren't showing up.  I think it has something to do with our Flickr plug-in, but I'm not sure.  Anyway, you can click on the little grey boxes or view the slideshow to see all the latest pictures.  Or you can go straight to our Flickr page here.  Sorry for the confusion, but we'll get it fixed as soon as we can.
