I am in East Lansing for the week and missing my baby like crazy. It is nice to have 'me' time, but I really wish I could give him a kiss goodnight! My dad was visiting this week and caught this picture of him. He just sent it to me tonight, and it made me smile and I had to share it! Thanks Dad, for the pick-me-up!

Baby book moment

Since I don't do the baby book thing, I thought I should put this on here, in hopes to preserve this memory!

Simon is using more and more words everyday, he even knows some animal sounds. When he 'reads' by himself, he makes the sounds of the animals he sees in the books, simply amazing to Benji and I! At 16 months, these are all his words:

ball
momma
dadda
nana
night night
annie
down
on
phone
hot
uh oh
eyes - points to eyes
nose - points to noes
mouth - points to mouth
ears - point to ears
yucky
caca
bye bye
no no no...
cookie
more
juice
hello
ana
riri
baby
turtle
all done
spoon
light
choo choo, w/arm motions!

Animal sounds
cow, cat, dog, monkey, horse, sheep, pig, duck

I think we got them all!

That's right. For those of you who don't know already, we are expecting our second baby in June 2010!! We are excited and I am anxious! Trying to imagine how life will be with two crazy Garza kids!! So far every thing is going well and baby is healthy. I'll keep you posted!

1st hair cut

Well, I am supposed to be praciticing, so I am not going to bother fixing the order of the photos, I think you can tell the before, during and after! He is so handsome!

Colorado trip

We had a TERRIBLE flight over, but once we were there, we had a great time. Here are some pics of what we did!

Ate with chop sticks









Our hosts, Carin and Juan


















Chilled on bacon at the mall











Caught fish at the childrens museum




We had an AWESOME flight home, but it will be awhile before I do that again!

'Tis the Season!

Simon met Santa! He didn't smile, but at least he wasn't crying! We are looking forward to all the fun with family and friends! Merry Christmas!

Grammy and Granpa visit

Grammy and Granpa came to visit!! I had fun entertaining them with all my funny tricks. I even got a few bites of pizza.

Thanksgiving was great, I had fun playing with all my cousins and friends.

Mom got a new camera so maybe she will get some good pics posted soon!

Hope everyone had a great holiday!
