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!

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!

3 months!

Well I finally figured out how to put the video clip on here...it's a couple weeks old but here is a quick clip of him rolling over. This past week he's become quite efficient at it, I place him on his play gym and next thing I know he's rolled and scooted completely off it.

He likes to help with the laundry!

All done Mommy!

Playing with Daddy!!

What a week!

Gabe had his first flight a couple weeks ago and he did very well!! When he wasn't nursing he slept....I was so proud of him. We all had a great time in NY, the weekend went by very fast though. Alot of my family was able to see Gabe for the first time which was nice. Nana and Papa bought Gabe a new toy which he loves...his play gym. This past week has been very exciting for Gabe, he was on his play gym and a rattle was lying next to him and he picked it up on his own and started shaking it (Daddy was very excited that he witnessed this before me :-) ) and then the other day he rolled over from his front to back so now he rolls both ways. It was very exciting but also made me realize how quickly they really do grow up, I can't believe he'll be 3months on Friday. I did capture it on video so as soon as I can figure out how to place a video clip on here I will post it!!

I had to put this picture on here...the look on Gabe's face is priceless. Great Grandpa apparently speaks Gabe's language very well, the two of them were going back and forth with each other! I think Gabe is telling him to pay attention to the camera :-)

He loves his play gym!!

His first Golf Cart ride

2 month check up

Gabe had his 2 month check up and he did very well...he weighed 12lbs and was 23 inches long. He had 4 shots (mommy cried more than he did) Daddy had to help with the shots because I don't do so well with those things, he cried for a few seconds and then stopped once EJ picked him up. He was a little fussy the rest of the day but that's only to be expected.
We are getting ready to take Gabe on his first trip to NY to see Nana & Papa and his Uncle too! I'm a little nervous about flying with him only because he tends to get fussy when we are not up walking him around (he gets bored quick just sitting on our laps :-) ) so it should be interesting to see how he does.
Well I finally put pics of the nursery up....little late. I still haven't finished putting some things on the wall but other than that it's complete!

Mommy's little Angel :-)

Gabe is 8 weeks

Wow we cant believe he is 8 weeks old now, time is really going by fast. Gabe is doing very well, he's approaching 12lbs. Not sleeping through the night yet but we "usually" get 2 - 4 hour stretches so I cant complain. Gabe is cooing and smiling alot, a couple weeks ago he actually rolled over from his front to his back!! He's such a joy and I'm so blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom.

He loves his Daddy & his bath time

Naked Time :-)

Can I help you?

Smile!!
