Bye Bye Barrimirez's!

See you in September!

Berkeley with the Ramientos'

or Barramirez's?

After lunch, we went to Berkeley to do some shopping and check out the campus... Daddy loves to show off his school!The water bottle is taller than my head!

In front of Sather Gate with Ate Seyla!


We even ran into Uncle RJ in the parking lot! He loves Berkeley too!

Lunch at Merritt Bakery

Later that day, we had lunch at Merritt Bakery with the Ramirez/Barrientos', Grandma and Grandpa, Auntie Babes and Uncle Josh and Auntie Christina. Merritt Bakery is known for their Chicken and Waffles - an odd sounding combination, but very tasty and bad for you!

Me and Ate Seyla

Ate Seyla gave us some comic relief as we were waiting (forever!) for our food.
She told us all kinds of jokes!

Here's one that almost made Mommy choke:

Seyla: Knock Knock
Mommy: Who's There?
Seyla: Orange
Mommy: Orange Who?

Seyla: Knock Knock
Mommy: Who's There?
Seyla: Orange
Mommy: Orange Who?

Seyla: Knock Knock
Mommy: Who's There?
Seyla: Orange
Mommy: Orange Who?

Seyla: Knock Knock
Mommy: Who's There?
Seyla: Banana
Mommy: (cough) Banana Who?
Seyla: Banana you glad I didn't say "orange"?

****We also took a big group picture, but it was with Trae's camera - to be posted as soon as I get it!***

See you in September, Lola Syl!

Lola had an early flight on Sunday morning - we have this tradition of taking pictures on the couch before she leaves... usually she takes the red-eye and I'm wide awake at picture time... but this time, I was woken up... and as you can see...

I'M NOT A MORNING PERSON!

(just like Mommy and Daddy!)

I tried!

Lombard and In N Out

We finally made it out to the City to meet Ninang Trae, Uncle Fran and Ate Sey - we had planned to do a lot more, but did what we could in the time alloted (The parents went out later that night and Ate Seyla and I had a sleepover while Lola watched us!). We saw Lombard Street - the crooked street and ended up at In N Out later for dinner... It seemed like a surprise, but Daddy knew where we were going all along!

We were watching the Cable Car...

Walking down Lombard St.

My surprised face!

There's something called the ZOOM function... (oops, I forgot!)

Well Lookey what we have here!
Everyone does their best surprised faces!
(Tiyo Kev is not surprised!)

A late lunch at Uncle Ramil's.

The next day we planned to have brunch at Uncle Ramil's and have a whole day in the city with Uncle Francis, Ninang Trae and Ate Seyla.... but the guys had a little too much fun the night before, so we started later than expected... Lunch at 4, anyone?

People used to say I have Tiyo Kev's lips...

It looks like I have his eyes (in this picture, anyways!)

Lolo Frank watches me rock out on the piano!

I just wanna run around!

Lolo, Mommy and me!

Auntie Amie's mom, Lolo and Daddy.
I'm trying to take off Lolo's glasses... I'm quick!

Now I try to take off his hat!

I loved playing with the chimes!

Auntie Amie serenades me!

Milestone Birthday

On Friday, July 25, Grandma Lyn, Auntie Rose, Uncle Eric and Uncle Dennis celebrated their Milestone Birthdays - They turned 65, 60, 55 and 50 in the same year!

Giggling with Ate Seyla and Madisyn

Waiting patiently for my food.

Someone else is doing the kissing for once!

Group photo - Ate Jordyn, Ate Aisley, Ate Lauryn and Ate Seyla with me!

Funny Faces! I'm really grabbing on to Aisley's cheeks!


My family!



I want that phone!


Tiyo Kev was just holding me and next thing you know... I'm out like a light!


He decides this is the perfect opportunity to hold me and chug his beer.


Auntie Babes holds me so Tiyo Kev can dance!


Ison went around to everyone to take pictures....

... with a garage door opener!


Grandma and Daddy share a moment!


It's Lola's turn to hold me now.



Lola, Mommy and me!

I'm 14 months old!

Mommy makes me laugh and I show off my 7 teeth!

I scrunch my nose when I smile!

I'm a lion!

I'm a very active 14 month old! I love to move around and discover new things! I enjoy emptying bins, baskets and everything! I love to make people laugh by making silly noises (like barking like a dog... actually, I think I learn this in a few weeks). I love to have books read to me, but I normally don't have the patience to sit through the whole thing - I'll turn pages too early and I'll grab a new book for you to read me before you even finish the old one! I love to kiss people, strangers and mirrors. I love to eat meat! Yum! I'll never turn it down (except for when I'm sick!) I will say UP UP UP until you pick me up! Sometimes I'll say UP when I really mean DOWN. I love to say Mama and Dada over and over again - they're still interchangeable, but whatever - they know what I mean! I love to say BALL and run to it. I'll point at it if you ask me where it is ... you can hide it from me, but I'll always find it! I'll find my piggy if you ask me to also! I also learned how to say LOLA, but it sounds more like LAH LA - and I'll stick my tongue out when I say it! I can pick people's noses on demand, but Mommy's still trying to teach me how to put it in their mouths... I have a habit of waving my arm to and fro when I'm "running" (walking quickly). I'm not a big fan of shoes and socks, I'll always take them off - which is fine with Mommy, since she can't find walking shoes in my size anyways (she's a size 2, which is 3-6 months and most shoes that size don't have tracking on them... what 3-6 month old walks anyways?!?) I play hard to get - if you give me a lot of attention, I won't give you any.. but if you ignore me, I'll purse my lips together and hum (which means "You better kiss me now!!!). I'm an absolute joy and a beautiful baby girl - Mommy and Daddy can't stop staring at me... Every few days, Daddy talks about getting a shot gun to scare away my potential suitors...

Lots of Deliveries!

I love to climb things! Did Mommy tell you already?

I was super excited to see all these boxes I could climb on top of!

Bye Bye Ninang Jo and Auntie Syl!

We rushed from the Wharf to Union Square to say Bye to Ninang Jo, Auntie Syl and Auntie Tess before they left for Toronto. It was great seeing you again!

See you in September!
