Swingin'

Mariana was 8 months old on April 12. She is now able to crawl on her belly backward and in circles, but is still working on the forward motion. We anticipate that will come any day! Boy, is she a "talker"! Her Daddy says she could talk the ears off a donkey and truth be told, she will talk to just about anyone willing to listen. She loves to tell us stories, as she babbles from the moment she wakes up until the moment she returns to sleep! Her favorite word is still "Da Da"!

Her new favorite activity is swinging! She squeals and laughs as the breeze blows in her face! She is such fun baby and she continues to bring joy to us each and every day! What a blessing she is!!

Mariana's First Easter

The Easter Bunny came to visit our house and Mariana was thrilled to find the basket full of Easter grass come Sunday morning. She just might have been more pleased with the basket and the grass than the gifts inside...but isn't that the joy of this age! Here you will also find a picture of Mari in her Easter dress. We had a beautiful, warm and sunny Easter day in Asheville, NC!

Go Heels!

Mariana is a HUGE Tarheels fan, just like her Mommy and Daddy! Here she is cheering on her favorite team during March Madness! Thanks to the Hoyle Family, Mari can cheer on the Heels in fashion! As you can see she has grown into that t-shirt quite well. We're pretty sure she can even say "Ty" in support of her two favorite players.
