Happy Valentine's Day!

Our Valentines day has been very relaxing. Our whole weekend has been relaxing actually. Jaycee had been under the weather most of the week and is still trying to get better, plus I haven't been feeling the greatest either. Jaycee's 1st runny nose :-(. We decided to make it a family weekend and not infect anyone else with our koodies. We have taken a lot of walks. Yesterday we took 3 and today so far we have taken 2. The weather has been beautiful and Jaycee LOVES to be outside.

Happy V day! Love Jaycee Renee...

JR's 1st haircut

Jaycee Renee had her 1st haircut today! I came home from work today and looked at my little princess and realized I've had enough of her hair in her face. She will NOT leave her hairbows in her at all anymore and the results of this is her long hair covering her eyes. With her long hair in her face it seemed she was having trouble trying to see and I didn't want that. I was sad to have her haircut, but I felt I didn't have much choice. Hopefully we can still put cute hairbows in her hair. She looks so much older with her cute bangs...check out before, during and after pics below.

La Jolla Shores

Cute pictures from two different trips to La Jolla shores. Daddy and Jaycee went one day while I was at work, he meet my sister, Shane and the kids. Then over the weekend the three of us went again. Jaycee loved running around on the grass chasing the birds (seagulls). It was so cute! She has so much energy.

A night of dancing

Saturday night we left our sleeping princess with Tavo's cousin, Cindy. We went out to dance it up for our friend Sani and her husband. We were celebrating Sani's birthday. It was the 1st time in I would have to say close to 3 years we had been out dancing. We had a great time! Of course I was really nervous, actually we both were about leaving. It was the first time we had left her with anyone that late at night and the 1st time we had left her with anyone besides my sister and my friend Sani. I did loosen up and we enjoyed ourselves. Even though we stayed out late, we still didn't close down the place like we normally would (pre-Jaycee). She slept the whole time while we were gone, which is great! She has a habit of waking up a lot. Last night she was in bed by 7:45pm and awake at 9:30pm, then again at 1:30am and again at 5am. I envy those that say their babies even younger than Jaycee sleep 7-9 hours. I think I could count on my fingers how many times Jaycee has slept longer than 7 hours and she is 13 months. One day we will get a full nights rest :-)

Some pictures from the night below...

Updates on the Princess

Well, today Jaycee is 13 months.......WOW is all I can really say! She's a busy little girl and changing everyday. Currently she has 3 new teeth coming in all at once. One on the bottom and two molars on the top. A total of 10 teeth now in that little mouth of hers. The last month or so she has been so much better about eating, YEAH! She is still really picky, but at least she is eating more things and even "sometimes" willing to try new things. I would have to say black olives and raisins are her #1 favorite right now.

She points to everything and loves to play peak-a-boo! When I come home from work she hears the garage and comes running. As soon as she sees me she covers her eyes and says "Boo", then comes running with a big hug. It's the cutest thing! Love her so much! I never want to come home to an empty home, it's the best greeting ever! She is also such a lover, she is always giving out hugs and kisses.

She has really been talking a lot more lately also. Saying all kinds of new words, some in Spanish and some in English. I'll try and list everything below, I hope I'm not leaving anything out:

Spanish words:
elbow - codo
nose - nariz
cheeks - cachete
eyes - ojos
bird - pájaro
frog - rana
bottle/cup - teta
water - agua
octopus - pulpo

Enlish words:
Momma
Dadda
No no no
baby
nite nite
down
hi
bye bye
poo poo
turtle
buddy (daddy is always calling her little toys her buddy)
toes
moo moo (for Shamu our cat)
gwenie (for Gwendolyn our cat)

Zoo Day!

Today we got up this morning and headed to the zoo. We met my sis and the kiddos. It was a beautiful morning and we enjoyed the time with family! I'm still so thankful my sister is so close and we are able to do fun stuff like the zoo together with our kids. Jaycee loves her cousins! Enjoy some pictures from today...







Can you tell that's uncle Tavo with Aidan. It was so cute, she was so excited to take a picture and wanted uncle Tavo to take it with her.

Jaycee too.

Size 4 & Michelle

I thought today being January 4th would be a good day to announce, I bought a size 4 pair of jeans this weekend! Wow, can't even remember the last time I wore a size "4". I even bought 3 tops and they were all size "small". I'm so excited about the new direction we are headed in and feel fabulous! Check out a picture below of the new healthy mommy and daddy........



Today is one of my good friends birthday....Happy Birthday Michelle! We love you and miss you! Can't believe this picture was taken over a year ago and that little turkey you are holding is so big now. Big birthday hugs to you! Wish we could be together to celebrate! Colorado is so far away.....or I guess you could say SD is so far away.
