Harajuku mini

Gwen Stefani has a line at Target for toddlers called Harajuku Mini.  My mom bought Daisy a Pajama piece, and I absolutely love it!  


I looked at the store and want to buy so many more pieces of her line!!!  Cute, right?!?!





Time for a bit of change

A month ago my hair was dark brown and long!  Then I bleached it, and then I cut it!!!  I've only had short hair once in my life (besides when I was a baby), but I love it!

Oven-crisped zucchini


One zucchini 
bread crumbs
parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
oil

I cut the zucchini into thin slices.  I mixed the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper in a bowl.  I didn't measure how much I used, I just kind of played it by ear.  

I dipped the slices in oil then lathered them in the crumb mix and placed them on a foil covered pan.  

I baked them at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.  

They turned out great!!!!

Stuffed Jalapeños

What a great snack!



10 Jalapeños, cut in half and deseeded
8 ozs soft cream cheese
A handful of mozzarella cheese
fresh cilantro, chopped
Parmesan cheese

After cutting and deseeding the jalapeños, we mixed the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and cilantro together.  We placed the jalapeños on a baking sheet covered with foil and spread the mix onto the cut jalapeños.  Next, we sprinkled Parmesan cheese on top of them and baked.

Bake at 425 for 15 minutes!!

So simple, and very delicious!

the big FIVE months old :)

So here she is, already 5 months old!  Wow, does time fly by, or what?! 



She is putting on some weight.  We haven't had her weight checked since last month, but she feels a lot heavier when I have to pick her up!  At 4 months, she was at 13.11 pounds.  

Daisy is getting a lot better at sitting up on her own.  Almost there!


She has gained an interest in standing up.  She usually gets a huge grin on her face.  



She has started rolling a lot.  At first, she was only really good at going from her stomach to her back, but now she has mastered both.  

She started laughing a lot!  It is the sweetest thing in the whole world.  It seriously melts my heart.  She gets really giggly around my niece (her cousin) Isabelle.  They love each other!


She loves playing with her toys, especially the ones with music.  


She sleeps in her crib now!  She used to sleep in her swing next to our bed, but we finally made the switch to her bed.  She does awesome in it.  I just lay her down at 8:30pm, put classical music on, and she is soon zonked out!  


She thinks her toe fuzz is hilarious! 


She is getting so adorable.  I love her with all my heart and I thank God everyday for a wonderful addition to my life.

Last night before Matt got home from work, Daisy and I were having fun with the photo booth application on my computer.  Here are my favorite shots:

Daisy's first Easter

We didn't do much today.  Daisy and I went to church with my parents in Denver.  She wore the same dress she wore to Kelly's wedding (compliments of Grandma Mitchell).  Everyone is church just adored her, but how can you not?!  

I didn't get her an Easter basket, but I did get her 3 small beanie boo toys. Here are all the pictures from today.  

She was singing when I took this

She gets lost in all the tulle!

Bear hugs for everyone!

So happy!
