I wear my sunglasses at night!

Thanks to Auntie Sandi for the cute Ray-Ban sunglasses she got me for Christmas, I love them! Good thing I live in L.A., I will get plenty of use out of them!!!

Christmas Day pictures

Christmas Day we celebrate with the Avilas.

First we went to my Nana Pat and Grandpa's, then later in the afternoon we went to Aunt Olivia's. I got mostly toys from this side of the family!

Here are some pics from that day...

I LOVE PRESENTS!

Opening presents is my new favorite thing to do!

Christmas Eve pictures

We celebrate with my mommy's side of the family on Christmas Eve. This year it was at my Auntie Laurie's house.

Everyone thought they'd have to wait until next year to watch me open presents since I am still so little, but I got right in there and tore that wrapping paper off (and ate some of it along the way too :))! It was so much fun!!!

I got some pretty cute clothes for Christmas from everyone on my mommy's side of the family! I even got a red wagon from my cousin Nick!!! I can't wait to go for walks in it this summer when it gets warm.

Baby's First Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Mexican Jumping Bean!!!

Here is our little 'jumping bean' enjoying her jumperoo! Two months ago she was a completely different baby in this jumperoo. She can reach and play with all the toys and activities.

Though she is still a little on the short side and needs the pillow underneath her!!!

Picture with Santa!

Happy Thursday!

Beat the bruins!

USC beat ucla this past weekend. Here are some pics from tailgating during the day!

We were able to meet up with our friends Karen and Eric from the NICU and their little girl Avalon and baby boy, Declan, who was Atiana's roommate for nearly 6 weeks! He was born one day after Atiana, on April 30th.

He is growing so much, just like Atiana!!! The two of them just stared at each other, some day they will know that they were each other's first friend. It was amazing to see how these two little fighters are thriving and doing so well. When Declan was born, he weighed OVER 10 LBS!!! Atiana weighed just a little over 3 lbs, 1/3 his size. Well, how things have changed!!! She now weighs over 16 lbs and Declan weighs 14!!! Crazy!!!

Oscar and Rueben were able to enjoy their first crosstown rivalry in person! Here they are before the game with Atiana. She loves her big cousins!

"Rollin' with Ati"

Happy Thanksgiving!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY EVERYONE!!!

We have soooo very much to be thankful for this year - Atiana is healthy and thriving! We got off to a rocky start, but Bobby and I have a lot to be thankful for this year - we have our baby girl! Thank you to everyone for your tremendous love and prayers the past 7 months, we are lucky to have such amazing family and friends!

Gobble Gobble,
Jackie

Tailgating with Time Warner

Here is a pic of Atiana with her daddy at the annual Time Warner tailgate. Ati had fun meeting all mom's co-workers and some of the Time Warner clients.

Atiana now weighs 16 lbs. 4 oz. and her favorite activity is jumping around in her jumperoo. She is getting over a pretty nasty cold this week and has been on the nebulizer since last Saturday. Hopefully things shape up as we will be out there tailgating once again on Saturday for the big game against UCLA.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

RUIN THE BRUINS!!!

The Newest Raiderette

The Raiders got just what they needed on Sunday - their newest good luck charm, Atiana! (EVEN THOUGH MOMMY LOOOOOOVES HER BRONCOS, she let Ati wear this outfit since it was a gift from Auntie Laurie) and who would've guessed it....the Raiders WON!!!

Pretty in Pink

On my way to Nana Jenny's surprise 80th birthday lunch!

At the Homecoming game...Beat the Farm!

Naptime with Dad!

Me and Dad take a sunday afternoon snooze.

Cousins!

Here I am with all my cousins before we went trick-or-treating.


From left to right: Rueben (bloody doctor), me (ladybug), Oscar (blind ref), Jayson (alien), Joseph (Batman), and Emerie (Ariel).

Ati-lantern

I had a blast trick-or-treating last night!!! Hope you all had a safe and spooky Halloween!

Happy Halloween!!!

Yesterday was my 6 month birthday! I cant believe how fast time has flown by. I now weigh 15 lbs!!!

I had to make a visit to urgent care to see what was going on with this bad cough of mine. They did a breathing treatment and sent me home with an inhaler. I feel better already! And that's a good thing because tomorrow is Halloween and I have some trick-or-treating to do!!! I am going to be a ladybug and my costume is all ready to go!

Stay safe out there and have a spooky Halloween!

My first gameday!!!

I went to my first of many tailgates and USC games this past weekend! I had so much fun. It was kind of cold and I came home a little sick, but it was all worth it!!!

Can you believe my mom and dad didn't take any pictures of me at the game though??? Here is one of me in my Mark Sanchez jersey getting ready to leave to meet up with everyone in the RV!

We'll get more pics next time, I'll be going back on November 14th when USC takes on Stanford and I will also get to meet all of my mom's co-workers at her annual Time Warner tailgate!

BOO to YOU!!!

Thanks to Emilio for creating this for us to send out for Halloween!

Yummmmm...rice cereal...

Last Friday I had a doctor's appointment to get my 6 month vaccines and I weighed in at 13 lbs. 4 oz and I was 23 inches long!!! My weight is now in the 56% percentile, but my height was just in the 18%, so I am still a little on the short side! (No surprise there, you've seen my mom & dad, right?!?)

The doctor also approved me to start on rice cereal, which should be a nice change as I've been drinking nothing but milk so far, so I'm excited to finally have a change in my life. I LOVE IT!!! I am still getting a little used to this whole spoon thing and make a huge mess of just about everything around me, but that's the fun part, right?

Oh, I forgot to mention on here that I got my ears pierced a few weeks ago. I cried a little, but it wasn't too bad. Small price to pay for beauty I guess!

See ya soon,
Atiana

Beat the Irish

We went to Vivian & Art's to watch the game yesterday and I finally got to meet the rest of my mom's sorority sisters and my "gamma cousins!"

We had a good time watching Notre Dame get spanked, but I was a little nervous there at the end!!!

Now it's time for my mom and dad to beat Uncle Tony in fantasy football...

Fight for Preemies!

Everyone, please take a moment to honor all the preemies born in this world! There is way too many of them! They are truly little fighters as we've all been witness to Atiana's challenges.

Please, give to the March of Dimes if you can and let's fight for these little miracles!

It's October!

Halloween is just around the corner! This past weekend my mom and dad tried to take me to the pumpkin patch, but I was taking such a good nap, they couldn't wake me up to take pictures! Oh well, maybe next week! Halloween is just a little more than 2 weeks away and I cannot wait to wear my ladybug costume! TRICK OR TREAT!!!!

Here is a picture of me wearing the outfit my Ninis (Auntie Jill) bought me for Halloween. Don't you like my "My 1st Halloween" bib? I really am just "too cute to scare!"

I'm a PC and I'm 5 months!

Yesterday I officially started day care. My mommy went back to work. It was a hard day for both of us, but we will get on a schedule and things will get better. I am already looking forward to the weekend so I can spend two whole days with her again!

Here I am on our laptop - maybe I am updating the blog, maybe I am checking my fantasy football score...LOL!!!

Have a great week everyone!

My first professional photo shoot

Last weekend my mom and dad took me to get my pictures taken. I was in a really good mood and made it easy on the photographer. My mom thinks that I didn't take one bad shot! Here are some pics from the day, enjoy!
