Baby Trading Cards

Mila

Age: 6mo 1wk
Weight: 17lb 1oz
Hair: dark brown and sticks straight up

Likes: Grinning, Hot pink (since she was tiny anything that color catches her attention and makes her smile), mirrors, books, catching strangers attention, drinking water from a cup, binkies, grabbing and looking at her clothes before she gets dressed, sucking on her hands, making funny sounds, her brother, her feet and sucking on her toes, rolling, being swaddled

Dislikes: Falling asleep, being strapped into stroller...wants to see, be held, and wiggle

Traits: Fights sleep but wakes up happy, sometimes cries when she realizes she does not recognize who is holding or looking at her, prefers mom to cuddle her when she is really upset, wines and fake cries when she wants attention and makes a complete recovery when someone pays attention to her, hangs her mouth open when she is trying to figure something out.

Wishes she could: Touch everything!


Nolan
Age: 6mo 1wk
Weight: 16lb 9oz
Hair: Light brown/blond, a little fuzzy with lots of calics

Likes: Jumping up and down in his bouncer, watching TV (we fight him on that one though), his little monkey blanket, binkies, looking at and talking to his hands, standing, thinks its silly when you get him dressed, likes to drink water from cup also, being tickled, watching daddy cook, to laugh and giggle, spitting and blowing bubbles, loves kisses from momma on his cheek, his sister.

Dislikes: Having his nails clipped.

Traits: Ticklish, strong, knows what he wants, silly, pouts with his lip out when gearing up to be sad, cries hard when hungry, usually does not fight sleep but wakes up a little grumpy sometimes, thinks his daddy is the funniest person ever, he is a people watcher.

Wishes he could: Crawl

July 4th and Venti's new location!

July 4th was Mila and Nolan's 5 month birthday. The two little bambinos are really loving each other these days. We spent July 4th at Uncle Mario Venti's house in Beaver. After the Venti party we watched the Salem Riverfront from the Edgewater Park in West Salem.
Today Venti's Cafe moved to the new location and we had dinner with the Compton fam (we all fit now!). Uncle Dino and Leslie have been working their tails off to get the transition complete. The location is amazing and definitely has the space Venti's Cafe deserves! Please check it out if you can!
