Mexico Part 1: Soraya

So let me preface the following post with saying that, I LOVE being an aunt. You might find that this is evidenced by the amount of photos I took of my new little niece. (And I chose to do the post on her first since I know there are a few anxious Grandpas and Grandmas out there!)

And now ladies and gentlemen...onto our featured presentation: Ms. Soraya Grace! 

She is such a beautiful baby! I wish my camera would have done better at capturing her LOVELY eyes!!! What a keeper!

 Hi, my name's Soraya and I look like my uncle David!







 Now, I interrupt this presentation for a quick mini-series. "Uncle Dan and Niece Soraya".

Turns out, Soraya is kind of fond of her uncle.
This face captures her admiration of him.
  But then, who wouldn't look at someone with a face like that...
Or that....
 

 I'll admit, she liked him more than me...
 Yep, Still with Uncle Dan!
 Sorry Joel and Kristi, he might have taught her a few things...



Now, back to our featured presentation!

Sleeping Beauty!
 She is already turning out to be mommy's helper!
 That or she likes staring at cupboards!
 I love watching the bond between mother and child...its precious!

 All prettied up for our date night! Just Joel & Kristi, Dan & I.....plus the princess!
 The boys really do a great job with her...
 ...Except when this little guy bumps things into her head!


 



 Crossing the border via foot. She was SO good while we stood in line!

 Long feet, long toes!
 
AND...in conclusion, my personal favorite....I think it captures her best!
So pretty!
 
Thanks for humoring your camera-friendly auntie little one! I sure loved being with you!!!
I pray you will grow up to realize that you really ARE a princess! Just like your names means! I know that your mommy and daddy are sure excited to tell you all about it!

    Of course this Grandma could never see enough pictures of her sweet grandbaby! Love the ones with Dan holding her because she looks so tiny in his large hands. She's such a good mixture of both her parents. Love my Soraya Grace.

    Thank God for digital cameras! I would have had to buy stock in Kodak. :)
