Please don't set me down!

It was one of those days when Mariah didn't want to be put down, so I had to get creative.  I laid her on top of my baskets of laundry as I took them down to be washed.  

It only worked for a little while, and she was definitely not in the mood for a picture.

Mariah is getting Bigger! and Cuter, Believe it or Not!

These are actually Chantel's "Oobie's," but I think they are soooooo cute.  I want some for Mariah.   Grandpa Bud bought this cute outfit for our baby girl.  Doesn't she look cute?

Mariah is so pleasant--such a good baby.  She has started smiling a lot and laughing a little.  She is a very good baby. We love her soooooo much!  She also has this habit of sucking on her hand and choking on her fingers....

I don't know why but this picture reminds me of gangster Mariah.  I just love this little yellow hat.  It is so warm and soft.  These are also my fav pj's.   The tag says they are flame resistant.  Isn't Mariah cute?

We know when Mariah sleeps with her arms up like that she is truly out and will sleep for a few hours.  I love just having her sleep all over the house.  I like her presence!

This is my cute, pouty face.  Just this morning I was playing with Mariah, nibbling on her arm, and I guess I bit too hard because we got the pouty fact that could've turned into a cry.  But it was soooo cute!

Bean Burrito

I could eat a bean and cheese burrito everyday for a month and not get tired of them.  I absolutely love them, and I have since I was a lot younger!  They are my favorite.  

Working out with Mariah

I've had to learn to work out with my little Mariah.  It usually doesn't last very long--either I get tired, or she won't put up with it!  Yes, that is my laundry in the background!

I loved this--cried both times I watched it!

Mariah's Dad

Mariah has a wonderful Dad.  He is so much fun.  He is so good to her.  He plays with her.  He bathes her. He holds her hand.  He carries her, so Mommy's back gets a rest.  He rocks her to sleep and will even change her diaper (when asked!)...  Mariah and Mommy love her Daddy. 

Recruiting Video :)

Here is a short video that was run on TV the other day about Applied Signal Technology. It gives a brief intro to the kinds of things we do, if you're interested



If you know any hardware, software, or test engineers who are looking for a job, please send 'em my way :)

More on Mariah

Our little Mariah is doing so well.  I just got back from the Doctor for her 2 week check, and she is now 9 lbs 7 oz (in the 80th percentile) and she is now 21 and 3/4 inches (in the 90th percentile).  Her head size is in the 50th percentile.  The doctor was very pleased.  Mariah sleeps through the night and has won mine and Heber's hearts....  This is a picture of her sitting on my lap right now...

Mariah Update

The Heber Sheffield Family is doing well.  We are learning all about nursing, nap taking, fussiness, utter cuteness, tender cuddling, precious baby smells, love, pink, and the list goes on and on...  We are truly thankful to Heavenly Father for blessing us with this little baby girl.
