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.

Work in progress

Sleeping and playing with toes

Hey everyone, I still need to add some pics to the blog, but Im too lazy to turn on the computer and mess with pics. But I'm hoping to get it done this coming week! So Nicolas discovered his feet about 2weeks ago and is always grabbing them. Today he started trying to put them in his mouth it's hilarious! I have one pic where he was napping and he was grabbing his feet! I can't believe how much he has grown physically and mentally, he is such a smart and funny baby. Like when he coughs for attention, and now he grabs at things on the table, and he is a pro at rolling over now! He thinks playing with daddies beard is funny. He is very ticklish! And continues to yell for fun, last nite at a restaurant and this morning at church before mass started lol! Julian was like stick something in his mouth lol!! Oh and today I saw a diaper I saved from the hospital and I'm like omg it's sooo tiny!! Like I can't believe he was that tiny (tear).

4th Month so far..

At 4 mo Check up

He is now 4 months, he did have a 4 month check up and he got 2 shots again! But this time he was a tough boy! He didnt cry!! It seemed like he didnt even feel the shots, I was a little weirded out. But I guess its good because I dont feel so bad for him.
He loves to smile and babble, he likes to yell for fun lol!! He just keeps getting funner and funner. Doc said I could start him on baby cereal! He doesnt seem to mind it much. He really likes playing in his high chair. He also likes playing with daddies beard!! I guess the scratchiness makes him giggle, actually daddy is always being silly and makes him smile and giggle. He has begun to notice Scottie. He reaches for him when he sees him near and Scottie nudges his little hand playing with him, its so adorable!!
He only poops once maybe twice a day, he still eats every 3 hours during the day and only like twice at night. He sleeps anywhere from 6-9 hours, sometimes he figits for about 2 hours around 5 am. like he kinda wants to wake up but he stays asleep. He takes about 3 naps during the day, lasting about 1 hour and one of those naps he sleeps 3 hours after playing for a long time.
He wakes up a happy baby never fussy. Unless he hasnt gotten enough sleep he fusses a little and I give him his pacey and he goes back to sleep. And by the way those pacifiers they give them at the hospital, they get addicted to them, so if you already have a certain pacey in mind take it with you to the hospital and let them know you have one already. I didnt think abou that. But its okay he looks adorable with his hospital pacey!

This month we celebrated my 24th birthday and our 4 yr wedding anniversary!! It was great to have baby with us on a such a special day! This time last year I was about 5 wks preggers and didnt know it yet. I found out the day after my birthday!! Crazy huh?

Also we have signed up for a Baptisim class we need to take in order to baptize him. But we have to wait 3 months because apparently we wernt members of this church anymore and yet we got married there 4 yrs ago! Anyhoo, his God- Mother will be Julians sister laura, and the God-Father Julians brother Jr. They are both very excited about it!! I cant wait to baptize him, it will be such a special day!!

3rd Month

So the 3rd month, there is more to it than pooping, eating and sleeping. He plays with toys while on his back and I put him on his tummy one day and he didnt hate it so much anymore!! And he could lift his head very well now and used his arms to raise his chest off the floor. He started to try rolling over but he needed a little help. There was no doctor appointment this month. He likes being in his bouncer, and he now reaches for the little animals that hang infront of him. He also has one of those little play gyms, and he also reaches for the toys hanging above him. It comes with a little mirror which he loves looking in! And when I put him on his tummy he looks at all the colors on the play mat. I have also read to him since he was a newborn. He loves books with big pictures and lots of colors. When we are at a store he loves looking around and captures everything. I think he is going to be a smart boy! He already is a pretty smart baby. Also since month 2 he started sucking on his hands, we thought he was teething. This month he also started grabbing his feet, its soooo cute when I see him do that! And he likes sitting up when ppl hold him, he doesnt like it much when people hold him and make him lie down lol!
