Family Photos

Here are some Family photos that our friend Eric took for us! Gabe missed his nap so he was pretty tired but overall I think he did well. It was however difficult to get a picture with all three of us looking :-) We are very satisfied with how they came out though, Eric did a great job!!
Well Gabe is all over the place, he's been pulling up on the furniture for a few weeks and he's becoming a pro at moving along it, walking is just around the corner. He also cut two teeth, the first was on Jan. 3 and the second was on Jan. 7. With the exception of some interrupted sleep it didn't seem to bother him too much and actually I think it was the congestion that was causing him to wake up. I have also started the baby sign language, it will of course be awhile before he starts using it but it seems like he's starting to understand what some of them mean.

Gabe's First Christmas

I'm definitely a little delayed on getting some pictures up from Christmas. Gabe has been keeping me very busy. We really enjoyed his first Christmas, and he did very well opening his gifts! I think he was a little overwhelmed...not sure what to play with first. We had a very relaxed morning, EJ made breakfast and then Gabe took his morning nap. Once he woke up we opened presents and then headed to his mom's house for dinner. Here are a few of the pictures we took of him with his new toys!

And he's off......

Time to Babyproof!

Well Gabe has been getting up on all fours and rocking for over a month now but yesterday he actually moved forward a couple of times. My first thought was he's mobile now, I'm in trouble :-) , but it's so amazing to watch them grow and learn new things. Whats funny is I was watching him when he did it and I said.. Yay good job and he just looked at me and smiled but I don't think he had any idea what he just did!! So anyways I'm thinking I still have a couple weeks (maybe ) until he's really good at it, which hopefully by then the house will finally be put back together because babyproofing now would definitely be difficult. I was going to post a video however I ran out of tape so as soon as I transfer everything to a DVD I will try and catch him in the act!

That time of year!!!

Not much new is going on but I did do Gabe's Christmas pictures and I wanted to post some of them. I have some decorative Christmas boxes and decided to place him in one of them for some pictures and he loved it....it definitely wasn't hard to get a smile out of him :-) Hopefully this weekend we will be getting our Christmas tree, we are still not completely settled into our new house so it's a little difficult for me to decorate for the holidays so hopefully the tree will help.

okay this pic didn't come out very well but I loved the look on his face so I had to post it:-)

Happy Turkey Day!!

Wow it's been awhile since I've posted anything, things have definitely been hectic in the Garcia household. We moved into our new house about a week and a half ago....we had it completely renovated however it's not quite finished. As soon as it's complete I'll post some pics! We had a good Thanksgiving in VA with EJ's dad and Catherine, they enjoyed their time with Gabe! Gabe is doing great, about a month ago he started to get up on all fours and now he's rocking.....he's very determined to crawl - it's unbelievable how fast they grow. He's getting better at holding his balance while sitting, it won't be long before he's a pro. He loves to smile and laugh and is quite the flirt :-) I've attached a couple videos and just a few pics (haven't had much time to take any the past few weeks) The first video is of Gabe getting on all fours and the second is just a cute video of him at the park...we have been enjoying taking walks to the park which is right down the street from our new house

Here he is sitting by himself..such a big boy!

Playing at Grandpa and Grandma Garcia's

All smiles!!

My little duckling!!

Gabe had his 4 month check up the other day, he weighs 16 lbs - he's definitely not lacking!!! We just got back from NY and once again he did very well with the flight - I was a little nervous on the way up because I was by myself but it went well. While we were up there we took some pics of him in his costume...so cute!! I know he's not smiling but he wasn't cranky at all, I think he was just trying to figure out what he was wearing :-) Things are going very well except I'm battling a sinus infection (yuck) Today me and EJ have been married 2 yrs!!! The time has flown by - not sure yet how we are going to celebrate, we may hold off until I feel a little better. I don't think we we were able to celebrate last yr either because I had such bad morning sickness...so we have two to make up for LOL!
