Del Mar Fair

Last Sunday Jun 28th we took Jaycee to the Del Mar Fair. She did really well, when she was tired she took a nap in the BabyBjorn. We wanted to go this year so she could check out the animals. When we arrived we noticed most of the animal exhibits were closed, we did find one opened and Jaycee was able to feed and pet some of the animals. It was too cute. She was so excited, smiling and laughing the whole time. She would reach out and pet the goats.
Hi Mr. Goat!
Gonna poke you in the eye Mr. Goat!
Throwing her arms up with excitement!
Hi Daddy! (Daddy was taking the pictures).
It's hard to tell in the pic, but she has her mouth wide open. She was laughing so much at this goat.
Looks like this goat is giving out besos. Jaycee didn't mind.
Jaycee wants to help give the goat some food.
Gonna get your nose little goat.
Jaycee kept pulling this big goat's ear. Poor goat, he was a good sport about it.

Garage sale find

This weekend I found a great toy at a garage sale for just $5. It's in really good condition and it is regularly $50 in the stores. Jaycee loves it and looks so cute playing with it. She is such a big girl. I love finding good deals.

Prayers for Gwendolyn

Thursday night (June 25th) I noticed Gwen acting funny. Something wasn't right she was trying to walk and fell over twice like a drunk person. Then she threw up. Throwing up is something of the norm around here with the cats so I didn't really think too much of it. However I was worried about her falling over twice and having a hard time walking. Then she walked up the stairs and I thought she is okay, but followed her and when I picked her up I couldn't believe how light she was. I looked at Tavo and said, "Something is wrong with Gwendolyn". Then I noticed something weird around her butt and a smelly odor. She was looking really sad; I thought I should take her to the ER vet right now. After talking with my sister, I decided to wait it out till the morning. I showed up at the vet 15 minutes before they opened and they were able to fit me in because they had a no show appointment. Yeah for Gwen! After seeing the doctor, we found out Gwen had an anal abscess. Last time I took her to the vet she weighed 10.2 and Friday morning she only weighed 6.9 pounds. Ofcourse by this time I'm feeling really bad, how could I not notice she had lost that much weight. They took blood work and find out she has hyperthyroid. She is now on antibiotic and also taking medication for the thyroid. Poor Gwen. I hope she is going to be okay and isn't in any pain. She goes back to see the doc in 3 weeks. She is getting old and I don't want to see her in any pain. She isn't acting herself at all and I'm hoping she starts feeling better soon. I'm praying for her and hoping she isn't in pain.

In this picture Gwen looks sad to me........I took this picture today.

Party night

Saturday night Jaycee stayed up late, she was enjoying the party. Tavo, Jaycee and I went to our friends for an early evening BBQ. Jaycee was in a GREAT party mood. She wasn't fussy and was enjoying everyone around her. Around 9:30pm we decided it was time to go, Jaycee already in her PJs was ready and was fast asleep before we left. She was all tired out. It was way past her bedtime. We had lost track of time having a good time. Thanks for the great food and fun times guys. Check out some of the pictures below.

Happy Father's Day!

Today was a good day, I think Tavo enjoyed his 1st Father's Day. At least he said he did. We had our last softball game of the season in the morning and went out to brunch with friends after. Then everyone came to our house to hang out and play a game of poker. Been a really busy weekend, Jaycee had a party weekend. I'll have to post on the weekend fun later.

Happy 1st Father's Day Amor! You are a wonderful Father and Jaycee is so lucky getting to spend so much time with you. It's been such a wonderful experience for the both of you. Love you both!


Can you see her litte teeth?

Happy Half Birthday Princess!

Today Jaycee is 6 months old.......where does the time go! She has been doing some many new things.

Some of Jaycee's newest discoveries:

• how to blow raspberries with her mouth
• starting crawling
• laughs a lot more
• she bounces up and down when on your lap
• she has figured out that she has a right ear and hair, which she is always pulling
• kicks her little feet all the time
• lays on her side balancing on her elbow
• if you ask her for besos she will put her mouth up to your cheek, it's too cute

We love our little girl so much! She has so much personality and we love watching her grow everyday. The biggest highlight of my day is when I come home from work and see the big smile on her face, happy to see me.

Today we went and took her 6 month pictures and she looked so cute! Check out the picture of her cute little dress and other cute pictures of her below.....

Big girl in her Crib!

Our little princess is now sleeping on her own. She has been sleeping in her crib going on 8 or 9 nights now. Tavo and I can't remember which night it was she started sleeping the whole night without waking up and coming in our bed. She is usually asleep by 7pm and wakes up around 10pm or 10:30pm. I nurse her and she lays back down in her crib. She then wakes up again around 2am, nurses and goes back to sleep. Sometimes she will wake up around 5am, which is really rough when my alarm goes off at about 5:45am during the week. But most of the time she will sleep till 6 or 6:30am. I'll then get up and change her diaper and nurse her. If we are lucky she will even go back to sleep till 7:30 or 8am. We are so proud of her. I do miss having our little princess co-sleeping with us, but I think it's better all around. We all are sleeping better, even though I have to get up 2 or 3 times a night. We love you princess, you are such a good girl! Below is a picture of Jaycee's crib and pictures of her sleeping like a big girl!
