Where'd my baby go??

Wowzer!! Well November definitely was our month and a great month it was!!! My wonderful husband and us received some great news after great news!! First of all Vagner is now a step closer to starting college which is a huge step. Also, my husband got a GREAT new job. Something that literally just fell in our laps thanks to great family members who keep us in their thoughts. This is something that we have been praying for for a long time. His job includes benefits and everything. (No one really understands the importance of that until you have gone for a long time without insurance for their family!) I am so happy and proud of my husband!!!
(My very own Bob the Builder)
I am still so grateful everyday that Heavenly Father made it possible and wanted us so badly to be together!! Anyway November was definitely a month to give thanks!

Now to answer the question to this post... Where'd my baby go? There are two answers, first look at my baby girl!!!! She is all grown up!! She's not my baby girl anymore :(
I love to just watch her play and see those little wheels in her head start to turn. Her little giggle is absolutely priceless!! She still absolutely ADORES her papai (daddy) and now cries everytime he has to leave for work. I know she is going to grow up with so many of his wonderful qualities and I am so grateful!!! She has even wanted to start drinking "chimarrao" (the staple to Vagner's culture hahahaha). Oh brother what am I going to do. She is just so curious! She wouldn't stop hounding Vagner until he let her try some of it. And of course Vagner is a sucker for those puppy eyes. Such a proud daddy :/
And... to answer the second part of the question, well actually.... I think that the picture can explain it better........



Yep that's right IN MY BELLY!!! Baby Soares number 2 is on its way and we couldn't be happier!!! I am not very far along, only 8 weeks, but if you think about it that's already two months!!! It sounds so good to say that! I have been quite naseous the last few weeks but I just keeping saying to myself this too shall pass! My poor husband and daughter have been very patient with me because a woozy and irritated pregnant person is really not someone that's fun to be around, but I try. I think Vagner really gets the brunt of it, but that's why I love him so much!!
Well thats all of our news for this month! I know I kinda rambled, but that's what you get!!

Halloween @ our cave!

I seriously love this time of year, including Halloween. Since this was officially Vagner and Andelyn's first Halloween to dress up we decided to go as a family of cavemen. We didn't really have anywhere to go besides our ward party, but it was fun anyway. Hope everyone had as much fun as we did. Vagner sure had a blast. (I think he especially enjoyed the "trunk or treat" part) I love my caveman and little pebbles :)

Birthday Bash!!!

Well... a lot has been going on lately and I finally feel like its starting to wind down. First of all our "baby" just turned one year old and I still can't believe it!


Its kind of a bitter sweet for me.. bitter because my baby isn't my baby any more and is just growing up too fast and of course sweet because of all the fun wonderful memories that we have had with her this last year. She is our greatest blessing!!! Andelyn had her 12 month appointment this week and the poor thing knew exactly what was going to happen the second we got into the dr's office, poor thing. Despite her screaming and crying, she is a very healthy girl! She is now 30inches long in the 80% percentile and 21 lbs 10 oz in the 50% percentile. She is really close to walking and will take about five steps by herself until she realizes she is done. She loves playing and laughing and of course is still into everything! But we still love her even more every day!



We have always said that we want our children to love their culture and know where they came from, so we have decided to do all we can to keep with Brazilian and American traditions. Including the huge one year birthday party. I know some people think that we are crazy, but to us its important and tradition . We decided to have a huge brazilian birthday bash for Andelyn. It turned out great! We had a lot of fun with many friends and family.




Andelyn had so much fun too which made it all worth it.


95% of our guests came in their brazilian attire which made it even better! Everything was in green, yellow, or blue.
I made the cake and was quite proud of it!!!


I almost felt like I was back at home in Brazil (just without our good brazilian friends, but we had quite a few there).


Thank you to all those especially my grandparents and friends who helped out so much for the party I know it was a lot of work, but it was also a lot of fun. So THANKS!! And of course thanks to my wonderful husband who is so great and always supports me even in my crazy ideas!(even though this one was kind of your fault :) )

PARABENS ANDELYN WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

lil' miss snaggle tooth!

okay okay I know, I am horrible at keeping up with my blog, so I will try to share a few highlights within the last few months. First of all... Andelyn just had her nine month check up! I can't believe how fast she is growing! She is now 18 lbs. 13 oz in the 50% and 28 3/4 inches in the 75%. She is now our little vampire! At 7 months she got her first tooth. We are definitely not your "average" family so of course Andelyn can't be either, her first tooth wasn't your normal bottom front, oh no it was her top left side tooth, then her bottom front teeth came in and now her top right side tooth. Too bad its not Halloween :) Zoom in on those teeth! Its hilarious!


Over the fourth we went to Centerville for our annual breakfast and parade with our family and last minute decided to go to Wyoming. It was a lot of fun! And of course the Weber State Fireworks. I absolutely love being with my husband and baby girl! I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world!!!

I wish that these pictures did justice to show Andelyn's personality. But there are a few things that you can see for sure...she loves to smile, loves her daddy, is happy as a bug because is finally crawling and standing up, she is just the sweetest thing, and so much more. She loves to scream and talk in her own little language, she claps and says "YAY", immitates you when you cough she says mamae (which means mommy and i'm sure she has no idea what she is saying.) We got her to even say papai (daddy) the other day. She is just so much fun and brings so much happiness into our lives!


Well I hope that'll catch us up for a little bit :)

Viva Las Vegas!!!

This last week my family decided that they were going to take a family trip to Vegas and then to San Diego. Vagner and I decided that we wanted to go but would only be able to go to Vegas. We had so much fun! I always get so excited to show new things to Vagner! He is so fun to surprise almost just like a little kid.
When we got there we took Andelyn swimming for the first time. She looked so stinkin' cute in her new little swimming suit, however, she wasn't so excited about it and definitely wouldn't let us take a picture, so this is the best we could do :) We did get her in the pool and she wasn't loving it at first. She had to make sure that she was holding our thumbs and I tell you what, that little 6 month old has a death grip! By the end she started kicking her little feet and Vagner almost got a little smile out of her.
That night we went to Freemont Street and it was something exciting for Vagner and Andelyn. We had woken Andelyn up at 6am to feed her so that we could be ready by 7 am. My mom rode with us in our car and Andelyn is not use to having someone in the back with her so it was all fun for her. Anyway, she didn't want to miss a thing that WHOLE day. She took only three little cat naps of 30 minutes or less and didn't settle down until midnight that night. She was so fascinated by all the lights and loved watching all the groups of different people. It was fun to see her so happy!
The next day my family went on to San Diego and Vagner and Andelyn and I stayed in Vegas for one more day. We decided to go to the wax museum and just hit all the big hotels on the strip.

We put Andelyn in the stroller and I kid you not, she giggled the whole time we were on the strip. It was so funny because every time a new group of people passed us she would just start laughing, and I don't mean a little giggle, I mean an all out kick your feet and arms pure laugh, she was smiling the whole time, it was so fun to just watch her. She is the happiest little baby! She did so good in the car too! We were nervous about that, but on the way home she slept just about the whole way and didn't even think about fussing until we got to Layton (pretty good for such a little one for such a long time)
......AND all of a sudden, my baby LOVES her binki!!! I have no idea what happened! She started to cry when she was tired one of the days and my parents said "just give her a binki," I confidently told them both you can try but she doesn't like it. Well she sure proved me wrong! She started sucking that binki like it was nobody's business and has loved it ever since. After all that hard work and NOW she starts wanting a binki?? Who knows. I honestly tried so hard since she was born, but I guess Andelyn had her own agenda. Hey whatever makes the little one happy :) I know this was kind of a long blog, it was just such a fun time to be with my family that I had to blog about it. But in the end I think it was Andelyn who had the most fun :)

Spring has Sprung??









Well there's not a whole lot of news, so I just thought that I would just post some new pics. We went down to temple square this week to see all the tulips, even though it was freezing cold, the flowers were still gorgeous. Andelyn sure seemed to like the flowers. It was a fun family outing with grandma and grandpa :)

Time Flies When You're Changing Diapers!!!







I can't believe that it has already been almost 4 months since our little one was born!! Time seriously flies!! She is so sweet and so much fun. We (or should i say "I") finally bit the bullet and put her in her crib, it has been a whole week and to our surprise she has peacefully slept through the night each night. Woohoo!!! I can't beleive how big she gets so fast she is so much fun and absolutely full of smiles. Grandma says it's because she is half Brazilian. We have taken so many pictures of her that we can't even count, but I just thought that I would put a few of our favorites.
