On our way to recovery!

Half of the Garcia household has been under the weather the past couple weeks. While my mom and brother were here, we had to make our first trip to urgent care for Gabe, it was a friday evening and we didn't think it would be good to wait until Monday to take him to his pediatrician. Poor thing had bronchitis and an ear infection with the exception of how he was sleeping (and of course the coughing) you never would have known he was sick, he was still going like the energizer bunny. Shortly after my mom and brother left I came down with it (at least it waited for them to leave) it was rough but I'm feeling much better and we are very thankful that EJ didn't get it.

Some exciting news..Gabe's baptized!! Two weeks ago in front of our friends and family Pastor Bob baptized Gabe, it was a very exciting day for us. Everyday is a true reminder of this awesome gift that God gave us.




On Feb. 7, Gabe took 3 steps without assistance from us or furniture (I didn't witness it so I wasn't sure if I believed it really happened :-) but then a week later I saw him take a few steps! So I guess we are on our way to walking....he's just taking a few steps here and there, he's had a couple hard falls so I think he's a little nervous but he is becoming quite a pro at standing on his own for long periods of time.


I think we have the future Yankees pitcher living with us...he can really throw a ball - I was surprised at how far he can throw it. His favorite game is for us to roll the ball to him and then he throws it back to us, it's amazing how well he can throw in our direction too.
