Fifi Ona

Soooo,  things have been crazy around here lately!!  I feel like I'm running a part time bed and breakfast as well (if coffee constitutes breakfast) from all the visitors we've had lately.  Our friend Ann Vierkorn and her daughter Mia (who is a twin and will be 2 on August 14th) came for a little visit.  Ann is currently prego with baby #3 (Jon Jr- due Sept 9th) and since they will be done having little ones after him and they know he's a boy, she so graciously gave Fiona all of Mia's clothes that don't fit anymore!  This girl has got some clothes!!!!!! Let me tell ya!  It was amazing visiting with Annie, as she is one of my very best friends in the world and I LOVE HER and miss her dearly.  We didn't get any pictures of the girls together because Mia is quite shy these days and I didn't want to make her uncomfortable, but it was a very nice visit.  Here are some of the pictures of Fiona in her newly acquired wardrobe courtesy of Mia Grace.  First is a super cute bathrobe that everyone seems to think she looks like a prize fighter in.  Second is a little hippy outfit and contrary to the look on her face, we really like this outfit :)  Had to document the pouty face-- it's a classic. 

Right after that, our friends Paul and Martha DeSante from MN came for a visit as well.  They were on their way to Erie and decided to stay the night with us for a night.  This was equally as amazing because they are also dear friends of ours that we rarely get to see these days.  Fiona was quite enamoured with both of them, which does not surprise me because they are two of the nicest people I've ever met in my life.  Truly good people!! 

We also recently took Fiona for her first shopping outing.  She slept through the majority of the trip, but we did buy her these amazing shades at Janie and Jack.  I could not resist them.  What I also could not resist were the teeny tiny bathing suits, but Dave R was the voice of reason and would not allow me to get one just yet.  Next summer......  but they were SOOOO CUTE!!!!   We settled for a nice sundress... pics to follow, as she hasn't worn it yet.    Here are some pics of her in her shades from that day.  The first is in her stroller, and the second was her totally passed out when I first took her out of the carseat when we got back home.  Too funny!!



As I said in the last post, Fiona is just really coming out of her shell.  We can see that  she's so much more vocal and alert these days.  You can see her interacting with her toys in a more alert and purposeful way.  Here's a video of her in her swing and you can see that she's totally enthralled with the mobile and the mirror above now.  She smiles and talks to herself in it all the time now, which is adorable. 

Here's a video of her during tummy time.  It's basically a small miracle that I got this video because let's just say Fiona is no longer a fan of tummy time.  We usually have a window of about oh 5-35 seconds before she completely loses her mind.  You can see that she's getting close to rolling over at times.

Well, that's the latest with the Rs!!!  :)
