8 Months/Christmas/New Year

Well it has been some pretty busy couple of weeks. After Thanksgiving Julian came down with what his pediatrician swore were the chicken pox. Although they were a mild case I am not truly convinced that they were the chicken pox. He was a normal little guy, continuing to play, laugh and learn. He had very little episodes of itchiness, a runny nose and one fever during this whole ordeal that started half way through his "mild case of the chicken pox". Then as I was starting to see him get cleared he then got another cold. I do not know what is up with my little guy as he tends to get a cold every month. The saddest part to this cold is that he had it right during Christmas with fevers and all. He still has his cough and some runny nose now but it is starting to clear up (or I hope it is). So I have been busy caring for this cute boy. But we did get a break in between illnesses to visit Santa at the mall.


In the week after visiting Santa, Ismael started to feel sick. He too was sick over Christmas with fevers and body aches. I do not know what exactly got into Ismaels system but he is just too getting over what ever he had. So I have been out of the house only to go to work then come home to care for my two boys, its been tough trying to stay sane and not catch anything. Finally on New Years we got to go out briefly to go get our Disney Passes before our tickets expired. Now with the rain again I do not know when we will be out and about the town. But I am determined this year to make lots of memories. Getting out and exploring cool things around California and why not even out of state. For the moment enjoy our few Christmas memories.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Happy Thanksgiving

This year was Julian's first Thanksgiving and mommys first time cooking and hosting thanksgiving dinner. Daddy was a big help as he cared for Julian while mom prepared the dishes. At times I was a bit nervous thinking dinner would be way late or that I would burn something and there wouldnt be any dinner at all. But it was a success with just one burn on my hand that I referr to as my "Thanksgiving Badge". Hope everyone had a geat Thanksgiving with their loved ones. I know we did, Enjoy the pictures :)

7 Months

Another month went by... really? Well we have been having some fun, trying to squeeze it in when mom and dad are both off work and there are no gigs/band practices to attend. We went again to Knott's and will be going more often now since we have season passes. Julian got to ride on his first ride attraction. He also got to play a game and won a prize.






We went to Disneyland, Julian's first time. He loves the theme song to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. When ever it comes on he stops what he is doing and looks over to the television and with full attention. When we are in the car and he begins to get fussy, I put on the song on my phone and he calms down. So of course we had to take him to Disneyland to meet Mickey. He reached out for Mickeys nose and could not stop looking at him. I like how he is not afraid of these huge characters that we get near (hopefully it stays that way).







He is such a good boy when we are outdoors. He enjoys people watching, lights and trees. For some reason he stopped being a fan of the car rides. He does well when the ride lasts about 10 minutes. Anything longer than that he cries until the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse song comes on.

6 Months

It's been a lovable, learning, exciting, exhausting (at times), and fun 6 months since Julian arrived. My doctor asked me if I still did not want to make a return, and my answer is NO. I am deeply in love with my little man, not a second goes by that I do not think of him. Ismael believes the same too. Julian is now getting his third tooth and has been a good boy about it. He is such an explorer. He reaches out for toys, food, paper, books but rarely does he reach out for people. Don't get me wrong, he's also a people person. He does not mind getting passed around from one family member/friend to another. He LOVES food, He is willing to try everything. He started with rice cereal and now eats pureed vegetables, fruits and meats. He's also tasted chicken soup and of course chocolate and lollipops thanks to his Godmother, and he loved it. He enjoys his jumper and walker. Rolls over more often and pushes himself up but yet has to figure out how to scoot around. Oh and he babbles and babbles and babbles, boy I hope he is more of a talker than his mom.

We baptized Julian last month and his Godmother flew in from Kansas for the special day and Ismael's brother is Julian's Godfather. He was a good boy throughout the 1 hour ceremony, did not cry at all.

For his 6th month, we went to get pictures taken since I did not get them when he was a newborn. I figured it was time to do so. He was a great sport, smiles the whole time.

Have a Safe and Happy Halloween

5 Months

WOW!! Time is sure flying by. Julian is growing lots, at times I forget that I am holding a baby that is 5 months old and not an 8 month old. He wants everything in his hands then in his mouth. He loves his jumper and likes rolling around in his walker. No long trips this month and we stayed away from Knott's but we hung out with lots of family.

This is a short post as we have not been feeling well. Julian is coming out of a cold, while dad and mommy are feeling a little under the weather. Also mom is keeping busy with the little man, full time work, household chores and planning Julian's baptism. Well enjoy the pictures :)
