Grandpa and Grandma Zavala came to visit Victoria in South Carolina for Thanksgiving.

Baby's first Thanksgiving - chillin' out on the couch after a yummy dinner, dessert and lots of football.

Enjoying the beautiful fall day with the grandparents.

Victoria loves fur - she looks like a little Russian baby.

Lunch time!

Bath time!

Focusing on the train.

Posing for the camera.

Victoria's favorite toy is the activity table.

Baby Got Skills

Victoria is busy learning and growing - here are some of her skills...

Balancing on the radio flyer, and honking the horn.

Victoria thought the radio flyer was so fun and loved being pushed. She has the biggest grin showing off her two teeth!

Victoria is learning that being on her tummy and army crawling isn't all that bad.

Showing off her two teeth.

Showing off her beauty pageant wave - elbow, elbow, wrist, wrist...

She LOVES to clap! And loves patty cake.

First Halloween

Victoria's first Halloween was a hit! And technically it was the first Halloween where we received trick or treaters and carved a pumpkin; lots of firsts for the Zavala family. Victoria is such a trooper - she let her mom dress her up in 3 different Halloween outfits.

Victoria was a little pink lamb for her Bouncing Babies Halloween party. Here she is demonstrating her skill of waving "hello" and "goodbye" to people.

She is mesmerized by bubbles!

Lamb together with a Monkey; one of Victoria's friends from the playgroup.

She wasn't a big fan of the sunflower costume; she kept pulling on the yellow petals and she couldn't see when they flopped in her face - But she still looked cute!



Another fellow and his family - JC, Cheri and Tyler Clark "Tigger" (8 months) - came over to attend our neighborhood party.

Dr. Mama and Dr. Victoria in her personlized scrubs.

A smiley Dr. Victoria after she tasted a lollipop for the first time!

Tyler and Victoria playing.

Naked baby alert!

You can see her one tooth and the other one coming in slowly.

We took a family trip to Chimney Rock State Park in NC. It's where they filmed the movie "Last of the Mohicans". It was a great view of the autum leaves.


Daddy carried Victoria all the way to the top of the mountain.

Nothing like an extra 30 pounds to make climbing a mountain fun!

Victoria was exhausted after all that climbing!
