Danni's 5 Months Old!!

She's catching up to me!!!


Danni loves me... you can just tell!


She can roll around in her crib now... she likes to sleep on her tummy!

She still hasn't learned that it's not nice to throw gang signs. (I put her hat and blanket on her...)

Danni celebrated her 5 month birthday this week!!! We can't believe how fast she is growing!!!
She weighs 16 lbs 7 ounces now!! Way to grow, Danni!!! :)

This month she perfected her rolling, she began playing with toys, she grew teefs, and she has started sleeping a loooooong time (9-10 hours!) at night!!! We are all delighted with her progress!!!

No Kiddie Kandids for Me

The Princess beanie makes me look a little less scary... (my idea to put it on... not my parents'!)

Our Christmas cards will be late this year....

Mommy had a holiday portrait session scheduled for Saturday. Guess we'll be canceling that! Road Rash makes me look pretty tough, doesn't it?!

Disneyland!

Danni tried to talk Mommy into some ears. If it wasn't like 85 degrees in mid-November, she probably would have gotten them!


I loved riding the "Up & Down" ... we went on it 4 times.


All of the kids were STILL for this picture! Photographic proof!!

Daddy got fixed on Wednesday ... so while he was recuperating at home, Mommy took Danni and I to Disneyland! My friends and their mommies were there too! Since she was busy wrangling two kidlets by herself, Mommy didn't take 14 billion pictures like she usually does - these are from her camera. I had a GREAT time... we loved seeing all of the holiday lights ... and I LOVED the holiday 'It's a Small World' ... I have been singing Jingle Bells nonstop!!! :)

Road Trippin'

My devilish little smile (coupled with the anarchist laugh means I am up to no good!)


Sillies in the car...

Screaming... because the acoustics in the car are fantastic!

I can't wait until I am old enough to DRIVE!!! :)

Danni's Ventura Debut!!

Ahntee Suz made a gorgeous sparkly banner with Danni's real name on it!


Danni prepped for the party with some beauty sleep!


Papa and I hung out and had a drink before the guests arrived...

All pretty in her party dress....


Danni loves Papa...
Danni loves to stand...


Mommy and Danni...
My two favorite girlies!
They tried to tame my hair...


I found a cool car in the shed... We had to put it away because it kept tripping the old people.

I was the beer monitor.

Danni enjoying some lovin' from Auntie Elaine...

I'll have to teach her not to show her panties when she gets excited!

Daddy with his sister... and my sister.


Uncle Po, Aunt Kelly and the party girl...


If you look closely, you can see the teefs...


Danni HATED this... Ahntee and Mommy tried to pose her with her centerpiece roses.

Guess who partied HARD?!


Guess who ELSE partied HARD?!

Princess Gangster...

Papa and Ahntee Suz are ALMOST as proud of Danni as I am, so they decided to throw a party to introduce/show her off to her Ventura fans. The 'debut' was held in Santa Paula last weekend. The weather was perfect, the food was delicious, and all of the little PINK details were perfect!!! Danni was a perfect guest of honor ... she let all of her devoted fans love her up... and only managed to poop on her tights, not her party dress. :) I was a helpful party host myself... I spent the party delivering beers and sodas to the guests. And no one except Mommy saw me put a spoonful of gravel in the tri tip. :) It was a great party!

Catching up with Mama Vee

All of these toys... and I want to unpack and repack the baby wipes!

TREATS for Zashi!!

Danni gettin' some Mama Vee love!


Danni loves her hand sandwich AND her new toy from Mama Vee!

I LOVE going to visit Mama Vee's house! I always know she will have lots of new toys for me and tons of treats for me to nibble on! This visit was no exception!!! Thank you Mama Vee!

Teefs!!!

Yum.
YUM.
YUM!!
Teefs are fun!
Fingers are delicious too!

Danni is growing up WAY WAY WAY too fast!!! She grew her first two teefs (the bottom two!) while we were in Vegas!!! Prior to discovering her sharp little fangs, Mommy and Daddy thought that she had just been on a crazy wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night sleep schedule because of the time change! Boy, were they relieved that it was a temporary problem.... well... until her next set decides to sprout! We keep trying to get Danni to show her new pearly whites for the camera.... stay tuned!

Fun at the Children's Museum

I brought Danni a hard hat when we were working in the museum's mine...

I wore mine as well...


Loading the 'rocks' in the mine...

With the help of a pulley (and a seat belt!) you can pull yourself up while sitting on this seat!


Danni had FUN!

Moving giant pillows in the play structure... I hope the next kid didn't fall.

Typical day at the airport...

I dug the security checkpoint. Ran my suitcase through about 1000 times.


Happy little traveler!

Piloting the plane...


"I'm Drifing!"


Splashing with Daddy in the water table...


Coloring in the art area...


Need a lung?


The world's largest 'Operation' game. I was fascinated by the 'grabbers.'

Dancing in the nutrition area!

While we were in Vegas, we hit the Lied Children's Museum ... absolutely the bestest Children's Museum that we have EVER been to! They had tons of exhibits... all of which could have kept me entertained ALL day! I got to: make art projects, climb on some play structures, act grown-up in a miniature city (the airport security part was my fave!), splash in a water table, blow body-sized bubbles, sniff nasty smells in the 'grossology' section, and much more! I took a monster nap when I got done playing!!! I wish we lived in Vegas!!!
