8 Months!

My lil boy is already 8 months! I can't believe in 4 months he will be one! I better start thinking what I'm gonna do for his 1st birthday (it's a Brazilian tradition to celebrate 1st birthdays) cause time sure goes by so fast!

I love you my lil bird! You brought so much happiness to our lives and mamae is sure a better person now that I have you!

PS: Excuse us the tears and running nose. We're a lil down with a cold but getting better soon:)


Some body is not happy with this cold!

Family Photo Shoot: Rancho Cucamonga

I had a wonderful time capturing fun moments of this beautiful family. They not only look really good at the camera but they also know how to have fun together!
Thanks for allowing me to frame the warmth of your family as a unique piece of art!

Nicholas' 1st Christmas

After a fun and loud Christmas Eve with delicious food and silly games with friends we had our quiet and sweet Christmas morning!!! Nicholas had so much fun opening his gifts!

Going for the big one!

Gift from tia Hellen and tio Geann




Hubby surprised me with a camcorder! 








Not happy that Lakers lost

At night we were brave enough to leave our warm and cozy nest to see some Christmas light.








Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
Happy B-day Jesus!

Happy 6 months!

My baby is already 6 months old! Wonderful 6 months! Nicholas is just an adorable and sweet baby! He likes to smile a lot, loves eating bananas and rice crackers, is sitting up using one hand to support (some times without hands), jumps with joy when papai (dad) gets home, loves music, crabs everything he can and takes to his mouth, is very vocal, loves jogging with his mama (in his comfort BOB stroller), loves outdoors, gets very fussy when we don't get out of the house, is sleeping through the night, is still breastfed, loves being around people, doesn't like tummy time, wants to eat everything we eat, likes to be naked (I always have to take out his cute outfit), loves bath and bubble bath, gets fussy around 5pm, likes to put his blanket over his face to fall sleep, likes to have his socks halfway on his feet (just like his papai), melts our heart everyday, and bring joy to our lives that no words can explain. Nicholas Haruki is the best and cutest baby boy that we could ever have!!!! Thank you Lord!

Hiking with Nicholas

Hiking with Nicholas in Mammoth. It's in Portuguese but still worth to watch it even if you don't speak Portuguese.
