Happy Birthday Grandma and Horse Races

Today is Grandma's birthday. Happy Birthday Grandma. We miss you and hope you have a wonderful birthday! Sending lots of hugs and kisses your way!

Saturday we had a nice family day out at the del mar horse races. It was a beautiful sunny day! The races come to San Diego once a year and we usually go atleast once during the time they are here. Last year I was prego with Jaycee and we watched the Marley concert after the races. Each time we go it's always so crowded, but not this year. Atleast on the day we went. It was so nice! Jaycee was even able to get on the grass and crawl around. Jaycee had a good time watching all the horses. Silly us left home without the camera. We never forget the camera when we go places with Jaycee, don't know what we were thinking or not thinking I guess. We got a couple picture on my cell phone, not the greatest, but better than nothing.

I hope everyone is enjoying the nice Labor Day weekend. We have been enjoying ours!

Walking with the Lion.....

Jaycee is so cute right now (well really all the time)! Anyway I bought her this lion walker, which I found on craigslist. It was barely even used and the woman gave me a great deal on it. She loves it and walks all around the house with it. See videos below. Sorry for the sideways video, I can't figure out how to turn it around. Turn up the volume and listen to her talking while walking. Love her!

PS: I posted a couple days ago about Jaycee having a fever. She is doing much better now. She had the low grade fever for 3 days then she started to get a rash (all over her body). We took her to the doctor's yesterday and found out she had the Roseola Virus. Her first time being sick, no fun! She actually did really well while having the virus, just a little clingy and slept a lot. Glad we found out what it was and she should be feeling herself in a couple days. BTW.....Jaycee weighs 16.4 pounds now. Boy is she getting big!

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL......

With football season right around the corner, I thought these pictures of Jaycee were appropriate to share..........

Hi all

Just wanted to say hello and let everyone know we are alive and well. Things have just been really busy around the Perez household, but nothing that interesting to blog about.

Jaycee has been running a low grade fever the last two days. It got up to 101.3 but the tylenol is helping keep it under control. She went to bed tonight with no fever (of course she had tylenol about 3 hours before going to bed). We are keeping our fingers crossed that it stays away. So far she is sleeping better tonight than the last two days. She slept with us last night, our room is cooler than her's. It's been really hot here the last couple days. Our poor princess fighting the fever plus being really hot. Not fun!

Wicked

Sunday we went to a play for an early birthday celebration. Good friends of ours, Maria, Jake, Monica, Chris, Kike, Christy and Vanessa joined us. It was an awesome show. We had a fabulous time. It was the first time Tavo and I had ever been to a play. We really enjoyed it. Wish we had closer seats, next time we know to buy tickets right away and not to wait. Thanks Sani and Antwan for watching Jaycee and making it possible for us to go to the play. Monica thanks for the idea, I can't speak for everyone but I believe we all had a wonderful time!

After the play we all went out to dinner. Maria and Jake picked up Estella. Tavo and I picked up Jaycee and everyone joined us for dinner. Jaycee and Estella both did really well at dinner. We had a wonderful dinner at the Red Fox Room. Thanks again everyone for joining me for my early birthday celebration. I love you all! I took lots of pictures but they really didn't turn out that great. I usually give the camera to Tavo, he is much better at taking pictures. Don't know what I was thinking.

Happy 8 months Princess

This is going to be a short post since it's late and I really need to get to bed. Lots going on with my sister moving here this weekend. So exciting! I'm loving having my sister and her family here.

Can't believe another month as already gone by and Jaycee is 8 months now. Wow! She is crawling all over the place and getting into everything. Always chasing after her!

We love you princess, you are getting so big! Thanks for being such a good girl. Happy 8 months!

A couple silly pics of Jaycee

This is what Jaycee's hair looks like when you remove her ponytail. Wild hair!
Jaycee eating spinach, you would think she doesn't like it. But she does, this is just how she eats. She puts her fingers in her mouth almost after every bit.
Helping mommy with the laundry. What a cute little face! Love her!
Making silly faces at mommy and daddy!

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.......
Aidan and Jaycee. Aidan is a great big sis, she is always looking out for the babies.
Zerah is growing so fast, she is already eating big girl bits and LOVES them.

Our happy girl!

Zerah Jane happy as can be also!

The baby cousin playing, see all the toys for them to play with in the background but Jaycee chooses wipes and Zerah a water bottle. Silly babies.

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!
