Baby Belén Eliza Blankenfeld


We've had some crazy weeks lately but I have to post about my little Belén Eliza Blankenfeld. Belén Eliza Blankenfeld came into our lives on November 18 at 1:05 am at home into Daddy's arms! She was born on her great grandma's birthday (my Mom's Mom, Mary Newgent). She is so easy going and gets loved on by her brothers. Graham comes up and kisses her on the head all the time as does Preston! They love her so much! Preston can't quite get out Belén, so it sounds like Benny! Pretty cutesy!

Her first holiday was Thanksgiving and we went to the Blankenfeld's and got to see Natalie and Kenny and Tanner's parents and sisters. She pretty much slept through it, as she did on Christmas day! She is now 5 weeks old and gorgeous as ever! At Thanksgiving Preston and Graham loved seeing his cousins! Preston didn't even want to go home, so we let him stay the night with them and he did great from what Ba and Natalie told us! So glad he loves his cousins!
Tanner is now a realtor with Keller Williams officially today! He is super excited! They have great education for their realtors and the broker is amazing from what I've heard through the grapevine. He's busy with work and his continuing education. We are trying to get ready to get into a house by August, so Tanner has been working like a mad man trying to sell and lease homes so we have a good cushion for the house.

We just bought a 2006 Honda Odyssey Touring Van for our ever growing family and we love it! I've perfected the art of parking it in our crazy tight parking lot and only back-up when I'm leaving the apartment :) That was my Christmas present which I'm very grateful for!

Preston is in preschool and is talking so much now. It's amazing how fast they learn and how quick he is to copy what you say! He loves his preschool friends and is so excited to learn new things. He can have quite the attitude...but we love him and his shamyness.

Graham is our mischevious little man who can get away with anything when he shows his smile. He is so cutesy and loves clothes. He likes to grab clothes from his closet and bring them to me so I can put them on him. Sometimes he wears 2 shirts and a pair of pants, or a shirt and pants and shorts etc. His sense of style is amazing ;)
Belén sleeps and eats and is adorable and is growing so fast. I love watching her in her sleep as she smiles. It's so refreshing having another girl in our family! I can't wait for all the mother daughter moments we'll have together now and in the future!

There's an update of our family and hopefully I'll post more later :)
