Happy Halloween....

More Halloween pictures to come. This picture was taken yesterday at my office. Daddy and Jaycee came to my work Halloween party.

She's is getting the hang of it........

Below are some of the latest walking videos of Jaycee. She is walking all over the place, she may still be a little wobbly, but doing great! If she falls she gets right back up and try's again. Enjoy! The first 3 are from Sunday the 26th and the last 2 are from today the 27th.

Zoo time...

Today Jaycee had a morning doctor's appointment. The appointment was just a check up to see how her iron level was. She was a little borderline last month and the doc wanted to recheck her. Happy to report her levels went up and she is doing great! I had them weigh her today also and she has almost gained a pound since last months visit. 17 pounds 16.10 ounces.

I decided to take the day off work and spend it with my family. The 3 of us went to the zoo. It was Jaycee's 1st time at the zoo and it had been years since either of us had been. It had really been many many years for Tavo. It was great fun and we are now members of the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, so we will be going through out the year.

FYI...Jaycee is getting really good at walking.

She can walk...........

Jaycee has really started walking a lot more and it's really cute. I thought I would share a couple clips we got of her tonight. Turn up your volume and listen to her giggle with the hiccups.

BTW........she was a big girl tonight and we finally got her to pick up small pieces of chicken and eat it all by herself. This is huge, maybe she will start to pick up other foods besides cheerios and eat like a big girl.

Way to go Jaycee, walking and eating like a big girl!!!! We love you!

Happy 10 Months Baby Girl!

Today our little princess is 10 months! I can't believe in two months she will already be a year old. Crazy to think of it that way. She is growing up way too fast! She has started walking. Not only with her lion friend, but all on her own! It's so cute to see her stand up and take little steps. Today she took as many as 6 steps at a time. She is still wobbly, but in no time she will be walking all over the casa. Good job Jaycee, mommy and daddy are so proud of you and love you mucho! Thanks for being such a good girl!

Yummy sweet potatoes! Look closely, you can see my two bottom teeth.

Walking pushing around the kitty food. Pretty soon she will know how to open the container and we will have to find a different spot for the kitty food. Up high, like a lot things around our casa :-)

Rubber Ducky your the one........you make bath time lots of fun!

Yummy cheerios........

Jaycee playing with her new kitchen. Thanks Daddy for putting it together.





One step...two steps.....three steps........

walking some more.......

Happy 2 Years Amor!

Yesterday was our 2 year wedding anniversary. I took the day off work and spent it just hanging out with Tavo and Jaycee. We had a really nice day! In the evening Jaycee went to visit Auntie Shelly and Uncle Shane so we could go and enjoy a nice dinner out. We did just that, thanks Shelly and Shane. We decided to go to the same restaurant as last year and make it a annual thing. So there we were again at Forever Fondue in La Jolla enjoying each others company and great conversation. Happy Anniversary Tavo. I'm blessed to have you as my husband and best friend! I LOVE YOU!

Tolerance

My boss sent me this video and I thought I would share. It's way too cute. It reminds me of our cat Shamu and Jaycee. I feel this is what Shamu deals with daily. Jaycee is always pulling or biting at his tail. She crawls after him all day long. He puts up with a lot from her. It's love!

Thirty....

Last Sunday October 4th was my sis's 30th birthday. I realize I'm alittle late on this birthday wish, but just haven't seemed to find time to blog lately. Jaycee and I did celebrate with her on Sunday. Tavo wasn't feeling that great, so he stayed home. We went over and visited for a few hours. I know I've said it before but it's so wonderful to have her back to do that with. Happy 30th birthday sis, we love you mucho! I'm so blessed to have such a beautiful and smart sister like you! Thanks for always listening and being such a great friend!

Creativeness

For my niece's birthday my sister made her a cake. The cake turned out awesome and I thought I would share with you all. It's totally a cake someone like me who can't bake would pay for. I have posted pictures in the past on how creative my sister can be when it comes to baking. I think she should really think about making a business out of it. She loves to bake and is really good at it. And tastes wonderful too! The cake she made was even a gluten free cake (my nephew is allergic to wheat) and was really tasty. You do GREAT work sis. We really enjoyed the cake……it was YUMMY!

Happy Birthday Belita!

The last birthday of the month is today.........Belita's birthday (actually also my great uncle Eldon's birthday who lives in Ohio). Today Belita is turning 49 and tomorrow we will be going to her casa for a nice birthday surprise. Happy Birthday Belita! Te Amo Mucho!

Another birthday girl......

Zerah Jane Carr is turning a year old. Last September 25th she came into the world weighing 8 pounds, 8 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. My sister had a home birth and Shane was able to deliver her. What a wonderful experience for them both. Unfortunately I missed the birth, wanting so bad to be there. Being pregnant at the time myself with Jaycee I had to stay home and work as much as I could knowing I would be taking off many months soon. This Saturday we will be celebrating Zerah's 1st birthday. My parents will arrive tomorrow to help celebrate. Happy 1st birthday little Miss Zerah. We love you and are so happy you are in SD now close to auntie, uncle and cousin Jaycee!

What a sweetie!
Big smiles with Sissy's hat. Too cute!


Recent picture of the cousins playing together. They are both pretty much the same size.


Smile!

Happy Birthday Estella!

Today (September 24th) Estella Louise Reifer is turning 3 years old! Wow, where did the time go! It's been such a joy watching Estella grow these last couple years. Estella is one of my best girlfriend's daughter. Soon Estella is going to be a big sister. Maria and Jake are having another baby the beginning of December. So exciting! Happy Birthday Miss Estella. We love you!

Cheese...........

The two princess, Jaycee and Estella.

Check me out.........

I forgot to include in my post last night that Jaycee has been standing on her own lately. She even stood and clapped a couple weeks ago. When she stands it's only for a couple seconds and I can never get a picture. Last weekend while at my sister's I got lucky. I was actually trying to get a picture of Zerah and Jaycee on this little bike together and Zerah took off and when she did it left Jaycee standing. Too cute! Can you tell she is really trying to balance?

9 Months

Today Jaycee is 9 months. Wow, another month has gone by and before we know it she will be a year old. She continues to grow and learn more everyday. She walks all around with her lion walker; before we know it she will be walking solo just like both of her cousins. She talks all the time now and I think loves to hear herself. Of course it's all.....Blah...Blah...Blah....Da Da Da...Da...Ma..Ma..Ma or Num Nums. Num Nums are cheerios, she really likes those. As soon as she sees the box she is saying num nums. It's too cute! She laughs a lot more now and smiles all the time. She is a fast crawler and into everything. She drinks her milk really well with Daddy while Mommy's at work. Even though we have introduced other foods to her for awhile now, she still struggles with eating sometimes. The last couple days she has been doing really well. Last night she ate two big bowls of vegetables and chicken. She still doesn't take anything chopped up, she wants it blended. The only chunks she will eat are cheerios. We continue to try new things all the time. Jaycee continues to grow and learn new things everyday. It's so exciting to watch her grow and learn. We are so in love with her and she is definitely our pride and joy!
What a cutie!
Loving her new car........I had to buy her one after riding in prima Ariana's. I was able to find it in good shape on craigslist..........gotta love craigslist. I found her lion walker on craigslist also.

Walking around the casa with my lion friend.

"If your happy and you know it, clap your hands."

Jaycee says, "I didn't do it".

Yummy cheerios.


Open wide for yummy carrots.
