marley is 8 months old!

marley's first photo shoot

marley did a great job posing for her chirstmas pictures. we had a lot of fun making her laugh and watching her stand by herself for the the first time!!!!

p.s. don't mind my hand, i was ready to catch her just in case she tipped over...(i caught her 3 times already)

up close!

so, vic bought me a digital slr camera 3 years ago and i hardly used it... until now (i lost my other camera), so i've been reminding myself how to use it and of course marley is my model....

happy thanksgiving!

thanksgiving was a lot of fun! we celebrated with family friend and of course really good food!

Happy 7 months

Happy Monthly Birthday Marley!!!


She is growing up so fast and it is so much fun watching her explore her world through touch and of course her mouth. There are no signs of teeth, but she loves to bite on everything. Marley is also getting the hang of eating different foods: peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, rice cereal etc. Last night, she even rolled 4 times~ I tried to get it on video, but she got camera shy..

hard at work!

happy halloween!

we celebrated marley's first halloween with family and friends this week. it was jammed packed with parades, parties and of course candy.

6 months!

Hi Everyone!

I know it has been a long stretch of time since I've blogged. Marley, Victor and I are doing extremely well! We can't believe that Marley is 6 months, time sure does fly! Some Marley highlights: Eating baby food, enjoys sucking on her fingers and loves to have conversations!

rites of passage

we celebrated marley's baptism last week! we are truly thankful for everyone who has helped us raise our beautiful daughter in this intense world that we live in. marley's godparents: jaylyn & mark torres, cecilia reyes and juncar rubiano. i will post more pictures soon!

it's been awhile

hi everyone! ever since school started, it has been crazy. below are some highlights from the past couple of weeks...

our good friend mary is about to jump the broom in a couple of weeks! we celebrated by spending the day at a spa in napa, ate some great food and relaxed!



weeks later, we celebrated with her and jon at their wedding shower!


marley's bff (sorry thomas and cindy) maliyah is getting bigger and bigger! they just love hanging out with each other.


alyssa spent a couple of days with us. she had the opportunity to attend our yearly basketball camp facilitated by the golden state warriors. she also spent some quality time with marley. they just adored one another!

the next bj penn! marley weighed in a 14 lbs and 25 inches in length! she is developing well at 4 months!

marley loves her nina (spanish for god mama) jaylyn! we spent a couple of hours hanging out with her nina and catching up. marley showed nina jaylyn her affection by leaving a huge drool mark on nina jaylyn's arm~


marley has been adapting well at rock and she enjoys spending time with curt, sarah and erica. marley attended her first rock event--a huge thank you to the golden state warrior's for adopting another classroom and investing in the children and youth of visitacion valley! a couple of weeks ago the warrior's unveiled the reading and learning center at visitacion valley middle school, gave away backpacks and had al attles (hall of famer) speak to the young people.

visitors...

we are so happy to have alyssa join us this week! she is spending time at our basketball camp hosted and facilitated by the golden state warriors! marley just adores her older cousin and loves to just stare at alyssa. a huge thank you to tiffany for babysitting marley today! marley had so much fun with tiffany, thomas, leona and zay that she was knocked out after we gave her a bath!

the marley roll and conversation with her cousin!

new adventures!

being back at work has been a trip! it is wonderful to catch up with everyone and introduce marley to the entire community. most importantly, i want to thank: junacar, mark, tiffany and all of my karate students for babysitting and/or keeping her entertained. some highlights: our good friend mary is getting married in a couple of weeks and i got to hangout with her and her closest friends and family in sonoma! i have the best message ever! marley has been hanging out with her cousin maliyah, went to her first concert (curt yagi and the people standing behind him), has officially two BFF's (thomas and cindy), meeting more and more people AND has learned how to ROLL onto her tummy!!!! enjoy the photos and videos!

vic and i debated over and over again on whether or not to pierce marley's ears. after numerous conversations with mommies, we decided to do it. i highly recommend www.babypiercing.com!! margaret is extremely professional and has many years of experience. marley liked her a lot, even after she pierced her ears =)

busy week for marley

i guess marley is following after my footsteps! she had such a busy week: dress fitting, hanging out with ROCK kids, dinners, festivals etc...

the next female BJ Penn

as marley develops, we have noticed that she loves to use her legs to kick around... recently, i found her awake in her crib in a completely different position! watch, out for marley's rubber legs.

my first week back at work!

it was great to be back at work, sitting at my desk, seeing some of the ROCK kids and most importantly having marley right by my side in the office. pictures posted is how marley felt about going to work when we woke up at 6:30 am...
