November already!

Oh my goodness! Can't believe it's already November! Where has the year gone!!!!? Yesterday was Halloween and it was Nicks 1st, he was a Texas Ranger baseball player. We pulled him around in his wagon. My mom and my sister and my cousins Gaby and Adrian and their mom also joined me nick and my hubby trick or treating. It was a great experiance taking our little one out trick or treating for the 1st time! And the weather was sooooo great!

Well we are preparing for our little boys baptism which I will go ahead and say the date now that the invites have gone out, Nov.6th , that's this coming Saturday. And we have everything just about set. I'm very excited about me and Julian taking our son along with his godparents to get baptized. It's gonna be such a special day!

And wow the day after his baptism my baby is turning 7months!! Slow down a little time!! But I enjoy him every second!! I know iv said this before but still to this day I can't get enough of him!! And this month he will also be celebrating his 1st thanksgiving!! Lots of 1sts =)

I finally got the family studio pictures. They came out wonderful. I need to make some time to scan them so I can post on FB, hope i have time tomorrow. These next couple days will be busy!

Growing so fast...

Iv been so busy keeping up with this precious little angel of mine!! He is 6.5 months now!! He loves to babble!! He does it all the time, while I'm driving and he is in the back seat, while he is getting a bath ect.. And I just mock his babble and he thinks it's hilarious! And I love when he showers me with kisses!

One if the many things that melts me is when he lays his head on my shoulder!! I think it's sooooo darn sweet!! I'm just pudding with my little boy!! And it cracks me up the way he is so little an acts like a big boy!! He thinks he can climb a mountain!!

So about 2 weeks ago we went to the pumpkin patch on his daddy birthday!! We got some really cute pictures!! That same day in the afternoon we also went to the state fair of Texas!! It was nicks first time! We rode the dart rail there and back, he was the entertainment! He was being silly an giggling and everyone thought it was so funny! He always gets slot of attention when we are out and about, he has a really great personality I think! He always gives everyone a toothy smile and then hides his face becase he gets shy.

So Friday after daddys birthday we threw him a surprise party, just our parents and siblings, but it was great! He was totally surprized!! Had some good food he got pretty awsome presents and we got to hang out with family.

Oh and just the other day Nick was playing in his crib I went to the kitchen for something real quick and then I heard him cry, the kind of cry when something not too good happens so I ran to his room thinking he probably fell on his face from sitting position and he got scared... I walk in his room and the booger had tried to stand from the crib rail!! He was stuck on his knees his hand on the top of the rail and I guess he got scared because he could figure out how to either get up all the way or get back down! Lol!!

Yesterday we went to take our first family pictures together! The session went great!! Of course I knew this fella loves taking pictures! He is used to me taking pics of him all the time! He loves the spotlight! He was flashing awsome smiles!! We also took pics of him in his baptism outfit. Which btw his baptism is really soon!! Don't want to say when yet because j already sent out the invites and don't wanna spoil it!!

I am really excited about it though! It's such a special day for us as his parents to take our angel to get baptized!! His outfit is brand new from Strausburgs Children, and he will use his daddys baptism shoes, which I just finished cleaning up yesterday, they were yellowish and Iv got to say I did a pretty good job cleaning them up! And those dirty little shoe laces I got really white! And he is also going to use this thing that looks like a front and back bib thing he is required to wear and it was his daddys too! (sigh) so adorable! So this weekend my sister in law and I have last minute things to buy! Oh and I don't think iv even mentions who his godparents will be! Julians sister Laura and his brother Jr. I know they will be great godparents to him!!

Oh boy I guess iv made this long enough lol, I guess next time I blog will probably be about how great the baptism was!! Yup it's that close!! Yay!!

Baby Nicolas is 6months today! 10/7/10

Updates on Nick, He is a little booger!! he wants to feel and play with everything and put everything in his mouth!! he especially loves paper! magazines, books ect. he likes the way it makes the crinkling noise. And he throws a fit when I dont let him chew on books and stuff. He has been sitting up on his own now for about two weeks! And my mom bought him a walker so now he plays in that too, he doesnt zoom fast yet but he is getting the hang of the fact that he cant get around in that thing. So time to cover the outlets!! He absolutly still enjoys being outdoors, sometimes he is fussy and we go sit out front and he loves it, or sometimes we go for walks. I was telling Julian he needs to hang up the hammock so we can chill on it, I think he would love it, we didnt put it out during he summer cuz it was way too hot to sit out there.

He has been doing very well eating solids the past 2 months, first cereal at 4 mo then i started fruits and veggies when he turned 5 months. Today the doc said I can also give him pureed meats. Cant wait to see how he reacts to meats. The past two weeks he got in the bad habit of waking during the night to eat! which he wasnt doing anymore. Today I asked the doc about that and he told me to let him cry it out a little and rock himself back to sleep because if not it will be a habit that will be more difficult to break once he gets older. So its going to be some tough few nights ahead of us to break him of this habit, he is like a little drunk! lol

Today at his doctors appt he weighed 17pds 10oz! and he is now 27.5 inches long! Since he was born he has gained 10 pds and 7.5 inches lol! My baby boy is so precious! He is also starting to give baby versions of kisses! he will grab our faces with both hands and open up his mouth and press it to our cheeks! He is also very cuddly now, he leans on my shoulder when I carry him, its soooo sweet! that boy just melts me!!!

So we bought his big boy carseat last week, he hasnt out grown his infant carrier just yet, but we had gift cards from Babies r us that I thought we should invest in the carseat before I spent it on random stuff there. I have been doing alot of research anyway on carseats, Im all about the saftey! I also read reviews and I let nick sit in the ones at the store to see how he feels in them lol. We ended up getting the Saftey 1st "Air Protect" I read it was one of the saftest seats out there at the moment. Its also very cute! I am a big Graco fan! our infant carrier is Graco and so was his swing that we ended up returning because he didnt use it much and his high chair is also Graco and his Crib. But once again saftey is very important to me thats why we went with Saftey 1st! 

Oh I also forgot to mention we took Nick to his first Oktoberfest in Addison this year! It was lots of fun! The reason I enjoy taking him is because I have been going there since I was 3! And the Munich Evergreen band is friends with my aunt so they have seen me and my sis and my Cousin Sammy grow up!

And on Oct 14th is Julians birthday, also very special because its going to be his first birthday as a daddy, well last year Nick was in my belly at this time. So we still have to go shopping for daddys present from me and Nick.

Well I think thats about it for now, I will have to put up some new pictures for this post probably tomorrow, thats what I always say and it takes me longer than that lol!

Dallas Market 2010

So the last few days have been crazy, Dallas Bridal Market was sept 11-14 sucked having to work 3 full days away from Nicolas! But good thing there won't be another market til March it April. The cool thing is that I got to see my friend Lindsey and her baby bump! She is due in January, she is gonna have a little girl! And also I got to see some ppl we work with from New York. Angela s hilarious and j had a blast with Nicole!! Lots of chit chatting went on lol! And also saw more ppl we work with from Mori Lee in Florida. Marco and Maria who we discovered are from Equador which is cool cuz my sis is 1/2 equadorian lol! I pik on her about it cuz I'm a full Mexican!
Anyways, but things are back to Normal with market over. I'm back home full time with baby which I love to be!! Today hubby was home with us, and it was such a relaxing day, thank u hubby for doing some yard work today! Our lawn looks great!
I'm looking forward to tomorrow because we are going to take Nicolas to his first Oktoberfest! Plus free admission for everyone! Whoo hoo!

Happy 5month birthdy baby Nick!!!

My baby boy is 5months today, we had a pretty good morning...until after he woke from his 1st morning nap at 10:30!! Wow!! I had never seen him cry like that and it lasted an hour!! I rocked him, gave him a chilled teether, offered him milk, put orajel on his top gums because I thought his top teeth were bugging him. Everything would only quiet him for a few seconds!! I had already prepared myself to handle him like this all day, I put him down on his play mat to see if I could distract him with toys and it worked!! He totally chilled out and was back to his normal babbly, happy, smiley self!! Crazy!!

So this month he doesn't need a check up. But I weighed him here at home and he weighs 17 or 18 Pds (hard to tell it's an adult scale). Last month he was 15.4. And he is now 27 inches long, he grew one inch since last month.

This month he gets to start eating veggies! Going shopping for some veggies later today to cook for him =) he continues to drink 4oz of milk, but I think he might start needing 6oz soon because he seems to finishe the 4really fast and he keeps sucking at the bottle.

I think u mentioned in a previous post that he loves water! I know babies don't really need water, but doc said if it's a hot day and we are out ad about I can give him up to 4oz a day. And he actually likes to drink from the water bottle like mommy. He will fuss if I don't let him, so we had to get him a started zippy cup!

He loves to sit up and play, he can't sit on his own yet but he is almost there! He continues to love to play with our dog Scottie. He loves it! If he sits on our laps while at the dinner table he loves to grab anything he can get a hold of! Everything is a toy to him so we have to be careful! My mom says he is growing up so fast and he is such a smart baby doing things at such a young age.

Well that's all we have been up to today so far! I will post a 5mo pic when I take one later today, we r still in our pj's lol!

End of the 3day weekend

So the 3day labor day weekend is coming to an end, we hung out with grandparents and aunts and uncles from both sides of the family. Everyone needs their Weekly and somtimes daily dose of Nick.

And tomorrow Nick will be 5months! So I will update y'all tomorrow on his lengh and weight and a few cute new things Nick has been up to!

Finally working on this

Canton

Ok so I know its been a while but I finally got the time to do some updating! Nicolas will be 5 months on tuesday Sept. 7th! What a big boy! This Labor day weekend so far...On saturday we went shopping and bought Nick some converse shoes( he is a perfect size 2 but we got him 3 so he can grow a little) and a cute little Gap sweater and a hoodie! Good sales this weekend by the way. And today Sunday, we went to Canton (1st Monday flea market sort of thing). Tovar Grandparents joined us, also uncle alex(julians lil bro) and Aunt Laura (julians sis) and her husband Chris. We had a good time. After we were done we went to Carmona's Mex restaurant and let me tell you we had to walk out of that place! BAD service, it was hot in there, waiter took forever to bring chips and salsa, and then we never got our drinks, so after 30 min we were all a bunch of Pissed of hungry Mexicans lol!! We left and went to another restaurant( also Mex) and we got WAY better service! Now we are exhausted, feels good to be home, I hoped in my pj's Nick ate and is taking a nap, and daddy is here on the couch with me watching tv with Scottie(our mini Schnauzer). I guess thats all for now, Im gonna hopefully finish uploading some pics.
