Christmas tree shopping

Today we took peanut to the Christmas tree lot and shopped for a Christmas tree. It was cold and the perfect day to do it since it felt like a Christmasy day (I know that's not really a word but work with me people!) Anyway, he seemed to be very curious looking around at all the big trees and he really didn't know what to think about it all! He reached out to touch the tree and he yanked his hand back quickly because he had never felt the prickly trees before. It was the cutest thing!!

1st Thanksgiving

Peanut experienced his first Thanksgiving, and he seemed to enjoy the day. We had my parents bring his high chair to my aunts house so that he could sit at the table like a big boy. The picture above is him at the table, and he seemed to be enjoying himself as you can see. Overall, he was great considering the lack of sleep that he had that day. Then we had to go to Gilbert's family Thanksgiving, so I had to take the baby home to let him have a nap and then go join the festivities. He was not a happy camper for the rest of the night! But I guess that's just babies!

Baby food.....

Peanut is finally eating baby food! It was such a proud day for us! I started him on carrots and he seemed to really like those a lot! The next food he tried was bananas and he seems a little unsure of those, but overall he seems to enjoy the new foods a lot!! The other good news is that he has 2 teeth! They are showing their little white tips through the gums! It's so cute! I can't wait to share what his next foods are!!

Peanut is 6 months old!

Hey everyone, today Peanut is 6 months old! I CANNOT believe it! Time has just flown by so fast it's scary! He is just growing and growing so too fast it's almost making me sad. Anyway, we had a little BBQ at my house for his 6 month birthday, again cheesy I know, but you know what...I don't care because it was a special day for us all! I even bought a cake from Publix and cut it in half and had them put Happy 1/2 Birthday on it! lol Peanut had one taste of the icing and of course he was trying to get his hand in the cake for more, but he was already not wanting to go to sleep, so I figured sugar was not a good thing! lol Now he's out like a light until it's time to eat again!

Peanut's 1st Halloween (2008)

Well Nicolas celebrated his 1st Halloween tonight, and he was so cute! I couldn't believe how good he was despite the fact that he was tired! He even had a little song for his trick or treating..."Trick or treat smell P's feet give him Similac to eat...." lol Cheesy I know, but these are moments I'll never get back! We took him to my mom's house and she actually gave him a can of Similac for his little trick or treat pumpkin...too funny! Anyway, after we went to her house, my family all went to dinner, and it was late and Peanut just say in his stroller and talked to us all the whole time!

So much has changed!

Wow! I have not written in awhile, so I have a lot of updates!! Peanut aka Monkey is 5 months old already!! I cannot even believe it!! He is doing so much, rolling over onto his stomach, which he hated before....and I mean HATED!! Now he loves it! He went to his Dr's appt. a few weeks ago for his shots and a skin check...the Dr. said that he is 27 1/2 inches long, which she said was in the 90 percentile for height! Which means that he's tall right now! I just laughed at that because Gilbert and I already joke about how we want him to play sports and help us retire early! haha
We recently started him on rice cereal so that he'll sleep better through the night because he was waking up in the night time acting all hungry, so we decided to give it a try and it seems to be working out really well. He's still talking more than ever...and I mean talking!! He jabbers in the car all the time especially when we are traveling to my mom's house (which is about a half hour drive), he loves to chat with me in the mornings!
I also started back to school, and got a new job finally. Not by choice on that one though, as you all see the market tanking...so is our savings since I have not been working, so I got a job. It's at a law firm in Orlando which is what I wanted, but I am away from Peanut when I am working, but the plus is, they are flexible with school, and my schedule, plus I get Wednesday's off work!! So that is more time for me to spend with the little guy!!
I am going to try to do a better job at posting regularly, so that I won't have to write so much as once, but we all see how far that's gotten me, so I promise that I'll try to work on that!! Until next time....

3 Months Old!

I cannot believe how quickly time has flown by for us! Nicolas is 3 months old today (technically). He looks much older than he is, but that's okay because he's probably going to play football...we call him our little linebacker. haha He is already wearing some clothes in 6 months...can you believe that?! Gilbert and I can't! He is starting to roll over one way...not sure if that's ahead of schedule or behind, but we don't care because he acts smart to us!

Also, I ask for your prayers for my friend Barbie's newest addition (Allison...Peanuts girlfriend). She is in the hospital right now for bacteria in her blood...I know that everything is going to be okay, but prayers always help. I'll keep you posted on what happens with little Allie.
