5th anniversary trip

mr. valenzuela and i have officially been married for 5 years. i say "officially" b/c it seems like we have been attached at the hip for a lifetime...and i mean that in the best way possible! i was reminded this past week that when God looks at us, HE now sees one flesh. how cool is that? PRAISE GOD FOR MARRIAGE! I completely do not take it for granted that I have an amazing Godly husband who loves the LORD and loves me and peppy. i have been blessed and i attribute it to God for blessing me so!
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning." james 1:17
with that said, my baby decided to take us away to seattle for a 5 day trip in celebration of our love! we just couldnt leave pep out on this one! i will have a few entries over the next couple of days b/c there are so many pics i want to share...
quick update on pepita:
*she is a crawling champ! she acts like she has been doin it since birth. i love it! i love it! i love it! i very much like the interaction stage and this is just even more interaction for me! today we were playin on the floor and i was chasing after her and she was cackling and then we would roll around giggling! oh yes, so fun!
*when she is going for something she is not allowed to, we say: "isabelle faith! no! you may not touch that!" and she stops, sits down, waves her finger in the "no" fashion, smiles...and most the time continues on...whether that be to what we said no to or not! how can i not laugh??? i so need training on that one!
*she does "all done" in sign language
*she does not like baby food anymore
*she puked for the first time 2 weeks ago. all three of us got the flu (we all thought it was food poisoning b/c we all threw up within minutes of each other. poor peppy was sleeping in the midst of all her...yeah, yuck! she sure is a trooper though!
*she loves to be bounced in every way possible. whether if im runnin around with her, on my lap, or on the exercise ball
*on the trip, we were on a bus and este was sitting behind us. when i would say, 'where's daddy?" she would look for him and find him every time! yeah, she loves her daddy!
*she has gotten to be more cuddly within the past few weeks. with me anyway! she will nestle her face in me, lay her head down on my shoulder, and she even slept on me on the plane for over an hour. also on the bus! i love it!
that's all for now!
seattle pics to come:)
