A day at the Beach

Jaycee loves the beach! Who doesn't love the beach?!?!? She really enjoyed putting her feet in the sand, we took her last weekend just to do so. We went really late in the afternoon so it was too cold to get in the water. We all did put our feet in ofcourse and Jaycee enjoyed that also. Check out her smiles below......

Teething

Currently Jaycee is getting 4 new teeth all in a row on the top. YES, I said 4! WOW! She has been such a good girl. She is drooling a lot more and biting everything. She reaches and grabs for your hand just so she can bit down on it. Yesterday after she woke up from her nap we noticed she had used her crib as a teether. (My good friend Maria warned me this could happen). Thinking of Maria I had bought some crib rail protectors but they didn't work with Jaycee's crib. We are now on a search to find something so we don't have anymore little teeth marks on the crib.

I'm BACK!

It's been really busy around here in the Perez household. We had a nice visit from the Carr family. They all arrived late Thursday night (July 23rd) and left Wednesday evening (July 29th). Tavo and I really enjoyed every minute of the trip; we got to spend a lot of time with the kiddos. We watched the kids while my sis and bro-in-law searched for a new home. Even though it was stressful from them trying to find a new home with 4 kiddos and a dog, the trip was a success. They found a new home here in Sunny San Diego. They will start renting a house as soon as August 15th and the best part is they are only going to be about 10 - 15 minutes away. We are all so excited! Plus all the cousins get to grow up together and we won't be missing birthday's anymore. YEAH! My sis and Shane will be able to go out on date nights now and we can watch the kids. Plus if my sis ever needs anything I'm just a few minutes away. Such wonderful news, I just had to share with all. Check out some pictures below from our fun week.......

Pool time and good news!

We took Jaycee to the pool for the 1st time this weekend, she loved it! It was a really hot day and the pool felt great. The pool had a section with a little shade so we hung out in that area, which was good for Jaycee and felt good. Jaycee loved the water.

The whole weekend was really hot, it would have been nice to spend the whole time in the pool. Of course the heat is nothing like AZ where my sister and her family are right now. I think on Friday my sister told me it was 111. Soon my sister and her family will be back in SD. We got word last week that Shane is going to be transferred with his work. We are so excited; it gives the cousins a chance to grow up together and gives my sister and I a chance to hang out. September can't come soon enough.

This weekend the Carr family is coming for a visit. Shelly and Shane will be hunting for a new home in SD! And Tavo and I get to hang out with the kiddos; we are really looking forward to the time! It's been a really long time, Tavo hasn't seen everyone since January and it's been February for me. Way too long!

7 Months

Wow......another month as gone by and our little princess is now 7 months old. Can't hardly believe it.

Jaycee has started eating more solid foods besides the rice cereal. Actually she doesn't even really eat cereal too much anymore just the veggies and fruits. She has had squash, green beans, peas, carrots, bananas, apple sauce and sweet potatoes so far. She likes it all and is a really good eater. I can't seem to get the peas and green beans blended while in the blender so we have to buy the jar baby food and she likes that much better.

She is now:

sitting up on her own

crawling on her knees (no more army crawling)

gives besos (kisses)

pulls herself up on her own

she plays Peek-a-boo and it's really cute!

she is just starting to figure out how to wave

Check out the pictures below along with a couple videos.........

Giving out Besos......

Jaycee is doing so many cute things right now and one of them is giving out besos. Check out the cute pictures below of her giving Kayla besos.

Padres!

Last weekend we took Jaycee to her first baseball game. Jaycee did really well, she lasted almost the whole game. During the 8th inning she was done, she needed sleep and it was too loud at our seats for her to sleep. I had to walk around with her and let her sleep in her stroller. I watched the rest of the game on a screen, but that's okay. Go PADS, they beat LA! Daddy and Tio were SAD that their team lost. HAHAHA!

Gato update!

Gwendolyn is feeling much better. She has been eating and drinking really well. She is even jumping up on the couch now and walking all around the house. No more lethargic kitty, she is active again. You know she is back to her old self when she is mad when you brush her. She hasn't thrown up, which is great! Poor Gwen, only if we had known about the hyperthyroidism a long time ago. She is now on pill twice a day to control the hyperthyroidism. We will take her back to the vet in a couple weeks to check her blood and hopefully she will have gained some weight back. Thanks for all thoughts and prayers! Took the pictures below tonight.

Visitors

Last weekend Grandma and Grandpa came for a quick visit. We had a nice time and they were pretty impressed with all the new things Jaycee is learning. Thanks for visiting Grandma and Grandpa. Check out some pictures from their visit below.
