150+

The number of photos we took yesterday...

Xaris is 16 weeks old! What a fun girl. New faces, new sounds (she's becoming quite chatty).
She still prefers to be active, standing is better than sitting, sitting is better than laying down.
This week she's started to avoid napping...today was wonderful because she actually took a 2 hour nap! But I think that was the first one all week...a few days she really didn't nap at all, only 18 minutes once, until she finally conked out in the evening. I think I prefer her taking at least one good nap a day, just so I can accomplish a few things!

Here's a selection--some of the 150+ photos we took yesterday, while we enjoyed an afternoon at the Arboretum and then Central Market for the Hatch Chile Festival.

Chillaxed

Tummy time for our strong girl...take a look at her toned arms! HA!

Xaritas touches grass for the first time in her life

And then she promptly makes a pirate-face!

This stuff is fun!

Can you tell she's my daughter? We have the same "concentration" look...

Another of her faces...

Kisses!!

But she likes pulling off my glasses better than kisses.

Family photo

Daddy time. She looks like she's already got some attitude "Dad...you're such a nut!"

Looking at the Magnolia trees

Being a monkey

Watching the waterfall

She really wants to be able to stand on her own!

More kisses! What a wonderful day!
