Vanessa's Graduation

Sweet Sleeping Siblings

Zara's Wedding

Christian and I ventured out for the first time after Juliana's birth to attend Zara's wedding.  Zara was one of my first and favorite drill team girls - all grown up!  Gig and Grandad watched Juliana (6 weeks) and Allen at home.

 Debs!

Cesar's Graduation

We're so excited and proud of Cesar at his high school graduation!  

It was wonderful to see him walk the stage!

Love this picture of the Baez men!

Juliana - 1 month

Notes from Juliana's first month:

-6/5 first social smile to me!
-making a funny face
-in 3 months clothes
-lots of baby noises
-6/7 went to work with Mommy
-kisses from Allen
-sleeping 3 hours at a time
-lots of outings!
-Allen calls Juliana "sweetie-heart"
-Allen sings a song to her when she cries "Juli -AH-na, Juli- AH-na, Juli-AH-na, its - oh- kay"

Funny story - after only a couple of days home from the hospital.  I had Juliana laying on my bed while I was in the bathroom.  Allen was sitting next to her, and I was talking to them both.  Allen was commenting on what long hair she has.  We had been hearing this alot, so it seemed pretty normal for him to be talking about it.  I agreed with him.  Then he comments that she will probably need a haircut soon.  I made a non-committal response like, "oh, you think so?"  Then I hear, "so, can I?"  I rush in to see Allen holding scissors very near Juliana's head.  I screamed.  I think I scared Allen more than he scared me.  So glad he asked first!
