We're Back!

2010-06-03T09:48:00.000-07:00

So I've been a slacker, what can I say? Little Dani has been keeping us busy that's for sure! "Little" Pea is not so little anymore at 20 months. Summer is here and Dani has been taking full advantage by learning to swim at the Miami Shores pool. She has learned how to jump in the pool and loves it. Unfortunately she does not know how to swim yet so jumping in the pool + non-swimming kid = heart attack for Paul & Heather. Little Pipsqueak is learning though, and is getting pretty good at her version of the doggy paddle. She also liked being dunked in the water surprisingly.

I will be posting pics from the first part of the year shortly, so stay tuned!

Here are the latest pics of our little one! Dani had a great time at the pumpkin patch helping to pick out this year's jack-o-lantern candidates. Besides all of the birthday festivities, there was still time to go to the beach and watch lots of football games with mommy and daddy.

Dani's Birthday Party!

2009-09-26T19:58:00.000-07:00

Happy First Birthday Dani!

We can't believe our little girl is one year old already. Dani was a lucky baby and had 3 cakes - One at her daycare, one at home, and a third at her party on Saturday. Grandma Barbie and Debbie came into town for Dani's Bday. Lots of people came over to the house for Dani's birthday, and the kids had fun in the toddler playland. Thank you to everyone for all of the wonderful gifts and well wishes.

Dani's Birthday Party!

Dani Visits DC

2009-09-05T19:50:00.000-07:00

Heather and Dani flew to DC to see Auntie Rachel and Jake! We also took a 2 day trip down to Richmond for Carrie's Bridal Shower and to see Grandma Barbie and Auntie Debbie. It was so much fun seeing everyone, and I had so much fun playing with Jake!

Happy 11 Months Dani!

2009-08-24T19:14:00.000-07:00

Dani went to visit Uncle Renny and her cousins in Daytona and had a great time hanging out on the boat. Grandma Barbie also came to Miami to visit and will be back for Dani's one year birthday. All the time in the pool has made Dani love the water and she is happy when Grandma Lulu comes over for bathtime!

Our little princess is growing up very quickly. She has 2 teeth poking out of her bottom jaw trying to grow. Dani started day care last week and loves playing with the other kids. Seeing some of her friends walk has inspired Dani to walk more often! She's been practicing non stop and can walk across the room on her own, Go Dani Go!!

Only one more month till Dani's ONE YEAR BIRTHDAY!!

Happy 10 Months Dani!!

2009-07-24T05:37:00.000-07:00

Dani is crawling at full speed now and is able to traverse large distances extremely quickly without regard for her safety. She likes cars and steering wheels, so we may have a little Dannica Patrick on our hands. She is able to stand on her own for extended periods and is about to walk as well...God help us! No teeth yet, although all of her baby buds have a bunch of them.

Summer was in full swing in Miami, so along with the searing heat came a lot of time in the water! Dani had a great time at the beach with Mommy and also went to the Miami Shores water park several times with her cousins Nani and Boobie. The Masongsongs were able to go to much cooler weather when the whole clan went to Ann Arbor Michigan for cousin Patrick's baptism and birthday. Grandma Barbie also visited this month and took Dani to the Miami Children's museum.

We can't believe our baby is growing up so fast! Happy 10 months Dani, love Mommy & Daddy.

Trip to Ann Arbor

Happy 9 months Dani!

2009-06-24T05:58:00.000-07:00

It's hard to believe that our little pea is 9 months old today. Dani crawls around very quickly now and is able to "cruise" - walk around while holding onto the furniture. She is able to squat and stand on her own until she realizes she is standing. She is extremely vocal and we have a feeling she is going to be a little chatterbox. Last week she had her baptism, and we were lucky to have Paul's Uncle Carlos (who is a priest) in town to perform the ceremony. After the ceremony we had a HUGE BBQ at the house with tons of food, friends, and family. Who knew baptisms were so much fun?

Happy 9 Months old Dani!
Love Mommy & Daddy

Happy 7 Months Dani!

2009-04-24T08:26:00.000-07:00

Our little pipsqueak is getting so big! Dani is starting to get very mobile and is almost crawling 100%. She chases Kylie and Zoe around the house and likes to follow Mommy when she is doing her Fit TV routines. She has also become more vocal saying BLAH BLAH BLAH and enjoys making high pitched squeaks which hurt Mommy's ears. We can't believe time has flown so quickly as we are enjoying being parents so much.

Happy 7 months Dani! Love Mommy & Daddy.

Happy 5 Months Dani!

2009-02-24T08:11:00.000-08:00

Daddy's little girl is growing so fast! Pretty soon she'll start asking for an allowance. She's eating her peas and oatmeal and finally has started enjoying her bath. She also has started trying to eat her toys on her exersaucer. Dani had so much fun at Daddy's elementary school reunion picnic last weekend looking at the people and other kids play. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of our little squeaker!

Dani at 4 Months!

2009-02-19T18:24:00.000-08:00

Dani had a very exciting couple of months. First Auntie Rachel and Uncle Dan brought Jake to Miami for the first time from DC. Then, Auntie Joycie came with cousins Patrick and Betty from Michigan. Then Dani went to Mexico to see Aunt Anna get married and catch some rays. Finally Dani "ate" her first solid food! Daddy's girl is all grown up...

Click below for some selected pics of all of the fun!

Dani's first time eating!

2009-02-16T08:08:00.000-08:00

Dani had cereal for the first time last week. She enjoyed blowing bubbles with it more than eating it I think!

Dani's Daddy is a Slacker!

2009-02-03T18:28:00.000-08:00

Yes I know, blame the holidays, blame the economy... but Paul is definitely the biggest slacker in history. Sorry for the delay in posting these pics, now I am only one month behind in pics.

Grandpa Ken came to Miami to visit little Dani for the first time. He also put Paul to work on building a new deck he designed for us at the house. After much elbow grease, the deck came out great, and Paul is happy to be back behind a desk instead of doing manual labor. Thanks Grandpa Ken!

Auntie Joycie has been in Miami with cousins Betty and new cousin Patrick. We spent Grandma Lulu's birthday at her house with all FIVE GRANDKIDS together! Grandma Lulu wants more though, so get to work Joycie and Jessica! Heather and Paul are taking a break!

In other news, Auntie Rachel and Uncle Dan brought little Jake (one day younger than Dani) to Miami from DC. We all had a great Superbowl weekend and have many awesome pics, especially on the Beach.

Little traveller Dani is going to Maya Rivera, Mexico this weekend for Charlotte Ana's wedding. Only 4 months old and already a passport stamp! Grandma Barbie and Auntie Debbie are coming to help "babysit" and drink margaritas. Many awesome pics are sure to come...

Back to Work!

2008-11-17T09:41:00.001-08:00

Well Paul finally went back to work after spending 2 awesome weeks with his favorite girls Heather and Dani (and Kylie, Zoe, and Raja). It was so hard for Paul to leave his new beautiful baby. Well we all had lots of fun going on trips to Lincoln Road, Coral Gables, and Aventura Mall. Well if Dani develops a taste for shopping, we'll know why. Dani had her first Halloween and as you have seen was the perfect little pea.

Grandma Barbie visited again, and Grandma Lulu has been great coming by every week. Auntie Esther babysat for the first time as Paul and Heather went to the UM - Virginia Tech game. Paul won the bet and gets to dress Dani up in UM attire!! So much fun with our precious little pea in only 7 weeks!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Last weekend we went out for Paul's birthday. He looks great for 28 years old right??? ; - ) It was also Heather's first time out (drinking) in South Beach since New Year's.

Grandma Barbie sacrificed and had had the HARD job of watching Dani for the night. Here's a pic of the hot parents before their night on the town!

Welcome to the new Babymasongsong.com!

2008-10-21T07:07:00.000-07:00

We have migrated from Google Pages to Blogspot. We hope you like the changes, feel free to let us know what you think. We'll try this out for a while until something cooler comes along....

So Dani will be one month old this Friday! Seems hard to believe so much time has passed. Our little pea and mommy have been doing great. Grandma Barbie left today and we will all miss her very much (especially her roomate Kylie). She'll be back in two weeks though, we know it's hard for her to be away from DJ for too long. Grandma Lulu has been coming over and been happily giving Dani-poo baths every time. I think Grandma Lulu may enjoy the baths more than Dani!

Well Paul is going to take 2 weeks off to help Heather and spend some quality time with the family. I think we'll try and take Dani out to Lincoln Road for her first South Beach trip. We're sure that she'll be spending plenty of time on South Beach as she gets older.

Anyway, here is our birth announcement which many of you will be getting shortly...

Little Pea's Blog from the Belly (Thoughts from the womb)

2008-09-08T13:43:00.000-07:00

September 8, 2008 - I am now 37 weeks and full term! My lungs are fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb. I probably weigh around 6 1/3 pounds and measure a bit over 19 inches, head to heel. My mommy had a doctor's appointment last week, and she was told that I am head down and in the right position for birth. We were a little worried about Hurricane Ike, because it has been known for hurricanes to cause mommies to go into labor. I don't think I'm quite ready to be born during a hurricane, so I'm very happy that Ike missed us!

August 11, 2008 - I am now 33 weeks. My senses are continuing to develop, and I often hear my mommy and daddy talking to me. I especially start to move around a lot when I hear my daddy's voice talking to me through the belly. My skin has turned from red to pink, and I am starting to prepare for the outside world by storing iron in my liver. I am now about 12 inches long (crown to rump) and weigh around 4 pounds 8 oz.

July 20, 2008 - I am now 30 weeks old and about 15.7 inches long. I now weigh about 3 pounds and am about the size of a head of cabbage. My eyesight is continuing to develop, and I am now just cooking and growing in my mommy's belly. I have been moving around and kicking a lot lately. I especially like to move around at night when my mommy is relaxing and watching TV.
June 15, 2008 - I am now about 13 and 1/2 inches long and weigh about a pound and a half. I am now about the size of an average rutabaga. I am growing more hair, and you can actually discern the color and texture too. My baby fat is also starting to form a lot more. My lungs are developing rapidly, and my respiratory system is continuing to develop. I am becoming more aware of how I can move, and I am wiggling my fingers and toes!

May 18, 2008 - I am getting bigger and bigger. I am about 3 quarters of a pound and about 10 1/2 inches long. I am now about the length of a carrot. My eyebrows and eyelids are now fully developed, and soon I will be able show off my pretty eyes once I am born. Mommy is feeding me well, so I will definitely be filling out over the next few weeks, and fat layers will start to form throughout my body. These layers will eventually keep me nice and warm once I am outside of the womb.

May 5, 2008 - I am growing really quickly and am now the size of a tomato. I am now starting to hear. Daddy reads fairy tales to me at night and warns me about fraternity boys. Tonight I enjoyed a yummy whole weat pizza. I am definitely getting used to this.

March 31, 2008 - I can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and suck my thumb! I'm growing fast now and my mommy is feeding me really well. Daddy made me homemade chili last night and my mommy made me shrimp with mango tonight. Life is pretty good here in the belly.....

March 18, 2008 - Today I had my second ultrasound. I must be famous with all of the paparazzi already taking pics of me. I am growing fast and am now 5.6cm long. I can now make sucking movements too! I definitely do not like it when people push my mommy's belly as it makes me squirm.
