The Sweetest Thing

At Rest

Exhausted from eating. Being a baby is tough work.

Lillian has discovered her fingers. Instead of listening for a cry to know she has risen from her slumber, I hear sucking.

At Play

Our Bundle of Joy

All packed up and ready to go. From the get go Lillian has become quite the traveler. At age 1 week on, Lillian has been to numerous restaurants, the zoo and Del Mar Race Track to enjoy Christmas lights, basking in the sun at Coronado Beach, Thanksgiving at Oma's, and sledding in snowy Tahoe.

Can't forget her accessories! Thanks Britt- love the headbands.

Already into dress ups. Soon it will be big house or little house with friends.

Our lil' angel!

Growing by the minute

In Preparation for the New Babe

People tell us to go out and do stuff now because once you start having kids it gets harder to do things as a couple. So, in taking their advice we have kept up a busy schedule enjoying one another's company by planning getaways for the day almost each weekend. These are a few places we've seen and been- some more frequent than others.

So What's New?

At the end of spring we moved from our hometown to sunny socal. We love our new home, but are going to grow out of our house soon! We are so proud to announce we are expecting our first little bundle of joy coming Thanksgiving. Much to be thankful for indeed!

How I spend my days off from work- living the resort life.

Welcome to the Montes Family Blog #2

So whatever happened to blog #1? Shortly after Sam and I were married, Sam started our first blog. I was so impressed! It even had pics and a video. Unfortunately, we were so infrequent in visiting it that we forgot the website. So round 2...here we go.
