hi friends and family, It's been killing me that I couldn't post any new Valentina pictures but my computer's memory disk was full, I couldn't import any new pictures and as a consequence I couldn't erase any pictures off my camera's memory card and so it filled up, and then I couldn't take any more pictures

....er ah die...

but I finally went over to my dear friend Paty's house and she made sure I was backing up correctly to my external hard drive and now all is good again. BTW, it was just heartbreaking to trash over a year of pictures from my laptop--they're not really trashed, they're just on another hard drive but still, today was the the first time I opened my iphoto and it just didn't look the same with so many pictures missing.

....que triste...

Here are a few pictures from a couple weeks back.. Vale is getting so big, she's eating her hands and anything else she can get her hands on, she does little baby pushups, she laughs out loud at all the silly things we do for her, she loves to stand with assistance, she hates her car seat but loves her stroller, she's 14.5 lbs, size 3 diapers, she loves baths, she loathes when I don't feed her the exact moment she feels hunger, she loves bed time, she hates taking her pj's off, and she can't take her eyes off big people food, just two more months Valentina, soliiiiiiids! Ay I love her!!!
