Some pictures

Life is good in the Garza house! We are anxiously awaiting spring! We had a few nice days to get outside and Simon was SO HAPPY!! He kept saying "I'm happy, Momma!" Manuel is getting around really well. He crawls and pulls up on everything. He is pretty happy and easy going and is definitely a Momma's boy! He has 2 teeth on the bottom and is working on the top 4, but nothing yet. Simon loves to play with his train table, toy story friends and anything he isn't supposed to have! His current favorite game is hide and seek. He counts, 1...2...3....tag your it!! He plays the piano on a daily basis. Manny loves Simon and Simon does pretty good with him, but likes to pinch his cheeks a little too hard!

Simon turned 2 on September 22nd. He had an elmo party with a pinata and lots of cake and fun with family and friends. He loves to talk and sings his ABC's, Old McDonald, Itsty Bitsy Spider, Humpty Dumpty. He loves to wash the dishes.......especially when you don't want him to! He is very independent and recently started to use the potty....all on his own! He goes into the bathroom and undresses himself and makes himself go on his Elmo potty, it is very cute. However, I am not ready to potty train..........Manny pukes all over me, I don't need pee everywhere too!! He weighed in at 33lbs and is 3 feet tall!

Manny is just about 3 1/2 months old. He weighs 18 lbs 7 oz! HUGE! He is almost too big for the infant car seat! He started rolling over a few days ago, now that is all he wants to do. And he is starting to play with his toys. He loves Simon and will smile at anyone who talks to him. He jabbers too, but not as often because Simon never stops talking!!

Life is getting a little more fun and as soon as football season is done, I will get to have some control over things!!

A family of 4

Manuel Benjamin Garza was born June 19th, 4:48am at Holland Hospital. 9 lbs 5 oz and 21 in long. Healthy and so sweet! Simon is a great big brother, we are so proud of how well he is adjusting. I am SO grateful for family and friends who have been here everyday to help me transition into a Mom of 2. We give thanks everyday for our beautiful, healthy boys.

My big boy!! I am trying to imagine how our family is going to change in just a week or so! We are so excited, but I am a little nervous about Simon and how he will handle it all. He is such a happy kid and his big cheesy grin melts my heart! Life is good!
