Is it to keep others posted? To keep records of what goes on? To brag? Well, I guess its a combo of all. Although some days I'm tempted to blog about not-so-good stuff, to vent about things that are bothering me, etc... so I might take that approach every now and then. Who know, for now it's about GABE!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjIwlyUhFtZJF54mwO_oyY5cOrYIxwgJKkm5FBuvmyYX99Wt3PGJ2YpAu0hJqVUBclm0bmmzYs5YeIcO2SvOKT_n3DIekEba6XezTpiDSkRa32zaRIRh18IsAMtb8yt5_qbVyYiQpDbyI/s1600/IMG_0097.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjIwlyUhFtZJF54mwO_oyY5cOrYIxwgJKkm5FBuvmyYX99Wt3PGJ2YpAu0hJqVUBclm0bmmzYs5YeIcO2SvOKT_n3DIekEba6XezTpiDSkRa32zaRIRh18IsAMtb8yt5_qbVyYiQpDbyI/s320/IMG_0097.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Yesterday Gabe officially turned 15 months old. I would post all his stats but I don't have them! We are choosing not to vaccinate (please don't judge) so I didn't even think to make a well-check appointment. But, he is a big boy that loves to eat! Some of his favorite foods are bananas, waffles, toast, cheese, fruits, most of the common veggies (carrots, green beans, broccoli) and chicken nuggets. We laugh because he really is "all boy", just so much different than Olivia in his mannerisms. Olivia is very careful, clean and dainty and Gabe is not. He will grab handfuls of food and stuff them in his mouth, swallow them down without even bothering to chew! We often see whole pieces of food later on, if you know what I mean! He'll rub his dirty hands through his hair and pick in his ear...Olivia asks for a napkin at each meal and actually uses it! Even when she was little she was always a neat eater.<br />

</div></span><div style="text-align: left;">Gabe is also a man of few words. He says da-da, ma-ma, NO and babbles quite a bit but that is about it for language. He mastered walking at 14 months and I also weaned him about that same time. He loves to drink milk and water, that's pretty much all he's ever had. He absolutely adores Olivia, loves playing outside, bath time, and has learned to run away from us when he's playing with something he shouldn't have. He is our snuggler and gives absolutely the B-E-S-T hugs ever. They can turn a crummy day into gold in one second flat. Love them!</div><br />
As the months go by he is becoming more of a daddy's boy. He squeals with excitement when Koby comes home from work, its adorable.<br />

Olivia- "Somebody colored my eyes brown."<br />
Me- "Haha, yeah that's right. I can tell you who did it too."<br />
O- "Who?"<br />
Me- "God did it. He knew that was the perfect color for you."<br />
O- "Oh, I wish he would have colored them <span style="color: magenta;">PINK</span>!"<br />

He is an amazing baby boy and it is crazy that a year has already gone by. We started our celebration with a quick trip to Abilene to celebrate with both sets of grandparents. Unfortunately, Gabe had a little stomach bug and wound up being sick so it wasn't all that much fun for him.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The next weekend I made a cake and we had another little celebration on his real birthday. He was feeling much better and really got the hang of what to do with all that cake! For the record, that is the messiest my little boy has gotten while eating. I just don't do messy eating babies!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Gabe is such a charmer. He has the sweetest eyes, the most voluptuous lips (I love them), chubby little thighs and he is the BEST hugger/snuggler ever. He has always given the strongest, tightest hugs. It melts my heart! Just so I don't forget I'm going to note some things he is up to:</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">- cruises around and has taken a few steps at a time</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">- loves the remote control</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">- will usually try most foods and like them</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">- nurses 3 times a day</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">- sleeps for about 10-ish hours a night and takes a nap at some point during the day (poor second-borns don't get the luxury of a set daytime schedule!)</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">- has 7 teeth</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">- babbles alot but has only said da-da and momma a few times...not sure if he really "knows" them. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">- wears mostly 18 month clothes and size 4 diapers</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">- has a little pillow in his crib that he adores</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">- drinks whole milk from his sippy cup everyday</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

So, I'll begin with one that some of you may have already read. I'm not even sure how many people still read this blog but it's worth a shot.<br />
<br />
Our Dogs<br />
Family and Friends,<br />
<br />
<br />
When Koby and I were newly married about 10 years ago we decided that we missed our pets back home and we needed one of our own. We took the short trip to the Brazos Valley Animal Shelter and found Klowie in October of 2000. They approximated her age to be one year old and she had been at the shelter for a few weeks (read: her time was running out). She wasn't the cutest we saw that day, but there was something special about her. So we signed on the dotted line and welcomed our first "baby".<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSbTyu7lxDeGLcwIGmXJFxvMwEpLLh3Iy0AZc-KyshyItRRzJPmtBzQn23Bs9GbIH0Ii952D9yG47xi2-98w_lYI3Nk1AB_KhK872YS0duQ5Dvlz7WRLmgLTehfz_ERJ4teuBYvWrk0Hg/s1600/IMG_4434.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSbTyu7lxDeGLcwIGmXJFxvMwEpLLh3Iy0AZc-KyshyItRRzJPmtBzQn23Bs9GbIH0Ii952D9yG47xi2-98w_lYI3Nk1AB_KhK872YS0duQ5Dvlz7WRLmgLTehfz_ERJ4teuBYvWrk0Hg/s320/IMG_4434.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">A couple of years later we decided that Klowie was lonely and she needed a friend. We were driving through a neighborhood in College Station and saw a sign that read "Puppies $5" so we stopped. There was a litter of the cutest little fur balls you've ever seen. The family said that their dogs had accidentally bred...the mom was a lab/rot mix and the dad was full collie. Being the softies we are, we quickly spotted the runt of the litter and brought her home. Isabella joined our family in 2002.</div><br />

We are a busy family with two <strong>real</strong> babies that demand an incredible amount of our time and energy. We go for walks to the park and don't have enough hands to juggle kids, strollers, snacks AND leashes. Over the last few years the dogs have taken a permanent spot on the back burner. It is not something we are proud of, or something we expected to happen. It just has. The kicker is that we have learned that my dad is severely allergic to dogs, therefore my parents have rarely been able to come visit us and the kids. If they do, they have to stay at a hotel, which is costly. If they come over for a bit my dad has to sit outside. It has become an emotional burden/dilemma.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>If you are still with me, I'm writing all this to say that Koby and I have decided to attempt to find a new home(s) for our dogs. The simple act of typing this e-mail creates a pull in my heart. We want nothing more than for the dogs to be loved and appreciated so we are sending this message out to people we know are capable of those things. <br />
<br />
In short, would you or someone you know like a new friend?Irma and Kobyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16458503536357110569noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752263490495603199.post-51814952479375170872010-07-25T15:27:00.000-05:002010-07-25T15:27:54.198-05:00A date with my Girl<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I decided to take Olivia to watch Toy Story 3 today while Koby stayed home with Gabe. She is obsessed with TS2 so I just knew she would have a blast watching the new one, plus she's never been to the theater before so that would be fun too. We get there, and I ask for two tickets...its over $13.00 just for the two of us. What? I was confused. Turns out they are only showing the movie in 3D so they charge more. I pay the money anyway and get handed two pairs of HUGE 3D glasses. Really? How is my tiny girl supposed to wear and keep these on throughout the whole movie? I decide to give it a shot since we are already there and Olivia is pulling me towards the concessions. Long story short, we ended up leaving about 10 minutes later with our full drinks and popcorn in hand. Luckily, I got a refund on our tickets but I had a disappointed little girl. I really can't believe they don't have child size glasses if they are going to force you to watch a movie in 3D.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, we had some time on our hands and Livi said she wanted to go to Target. We enjoyed some girl time together, finished our movie popcorn and drinks and rolled out of the store with this! Not a bad trip if you ask me! It was really nice to spend time just the two of us. That has not happened in a while...about 6 months to be exact! :)</span><br />

He is 6 months old today and is such a great baby. Sure, I get frustrated at times but all in all he is a good baby. He is not sleeping consistently at night or during the day but somehow God gives us all the strength to keep going!<br />
I have no idea what his stats are, but he is a little over 20lbs, can sit up without a spot, has no teeth, LOVES to nurse, has the sweetest laugh, LOVES his big sister, doesn't crawl but has mastered the smear-face-on-the-ground-while-pushing-with-his-feet maneuver, does what looks like push-ups and last but not least makes our little family complete!!<br />

Life has been crazy around here. Today Gabriel is 4 months old so we went in for his well-check. No shots for this little one but we got the doctors seal of approval anyway. Even though they are not the same gender (it might be like comparing apples to oranges) I wanted to post stat comparisons from when <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Livi</span> was this age.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">He is 95th percentile on both height and weight! I love that he is so big and strong and feel extremely blessed to have two healthy little ones. Hopefully I won't jinx myself by sharing this but lately he has been sleeping about 7-<span class="goog-spellcheck-word">ish</span> hours at night and then most mornings he'll go back to sleep when I feed him. He hasn't developed a regular or predictable day schedule yet which kind of stinks, but if I'm getting semi-decent rest at night then I shouldn't complain.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Olivia has been doing really good lately too. It took her a couple of months to swallow reality after Gabe was born and then it hit her like a ton of bricks. She really lashed out and started throwing the worst fits and just was generally difficult. None of her tantrums were directed at Gabe and I never felt that she was angry with him, she just had to get it out of her system I guess. As of April, she is officially potty trained. She had only been wearing diapers at night for quite a while and then she started waking up dry for about 2 weeks so I quit buying them! She has only had a couple of small accidents. I'm loving having just Gabe in diapers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Until next time...</div>Irma and Kobyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16458503536357110569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752263490495603199.post-27826837618952980232010-03-24T16:52:00.000-05:002010-03-24T16:52:09.217-05:00This and ThatYikes! March has flown by and I didn't blog as often as I thought I would...<br />
<br />
Today Olivia woke up and wanted me to carry her to the living room. I already had the tv on and Handy Manny was on. While I was walking she hugged my neck real tight and said, "Aw, you're the best!". It was the sweetest thing!<br />
<br />
Gabe is growing so quickly. I guesstimated his weight at 15lbs. He is two months old and has no problems that I can think of. Thank you Jesus! He doesn't sleep through the night at all but has settled into a nice afternoon nap routine lately which is super nice b/c I get quiet, alone time for a little while. It helps me get through the day without going bonkers.<br />
<br />
Speaking of weight, I'm having trouble getting motivated to really tackle the baby weight. I've been walking here and there but nothing consistent. I've leveled out at about 150lbs (yes, I just posted my weight on the blog) and that is not anywhere close to where I want to be. I don't feel healthy or strong. I don't feel sick, but I just don't feel "right". Like I said, I'm just having problems with motivation. I printed out a couch to 5K program that looks like something that I could manage but I haven't started it. I keep trying to look for the <em>perfect</em> time to go but it never presents itself. Imagine that! There's always laundry and chores to be done, a child (or two) to be taken care of, duplex work to do, exhaustion bearing down on me, or the weather is unfavorable. A friend of mine has blogged every monday about her post-baby weight loss plan and has shared how many pounds she lost (or gained) until she recently reached her goal. I'm thinking about doing that but I don't know if I can get over myself enough to be that honest! I think it takes alot of guts to be that open and allow people to hold you accountable. Maybe that's what I need, accountability.<br />
<br />
This has been a random post so I'll wrap up with some pictures!<br />

Not that any of those things weren't worth mentioning, like Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years but I have to stop thinking that I need to "catch up" on the blog and just start from the present...otherwise I'll only continue to be overwhelmed and avoid blogging!<br />

We really enjoyed getting to spend time with her and I know Olivia will truly miss her prima being here to play with her. At first it was a little bit tough on both of them. Rosie was away from home and Livi wasn't used to sharing her toys, home or parents with another little girl. But, after a few weeks they really learned to play and get along (mostly) and pretty much behave like normal siblings.<br />
I'm not sure how or why Rosie started calling Livi "Piggy" but she did. Even at the airport when we were saying our goodbyes..."bye Piggy!" We will miss Rosie so very much and I know Livi will be asking for her soon. I know she's just in Delaware, but it seems a world away. Besos y abrasos Rosita!!!!<br />

However, I was looking through some pics of when I was pregnant with Olivia and realized that I've still got a ways to GROW. I get rediculously huge when I'm pregnant. Oh well, it's all worth it!<br />
<br />
I haven't updated about my mom's cancer in quite a while...<br />
She finished her first round of chemo a couple of weeks ago. The first round was supposed to take about 2 months...it took more like 3 1/2. Her cell counts had a lot of trouble rebounding and that caused the treatments to be delayed. For those that don't know or forgot, mom is a 1st grade teacher so she has had to stay home and has not been able to work. <br />
That all changed last week. She began her second round of chemo last week. This time she is going in once a week (on Thursdays) for 12 weeks. Since her shots are on Thursdays she is going back to work on Mon-Thurs and then "recovering" Friday, Sat. and Sunday. It's a grueling schedule and I'm worried about her being exposed to germy kids all day especially since her immune system is so compromised and even more so because of the terrible flu season approaching. Her doctor and her principal have strongly advised her to wear her mask. After she completes this cycle then they will evaluate if radiation is needed. Please keep praying!<br />
We will travel home for Thanksgiving and let mom rub my baby belly one last time since she won't be able to make it to College Station for the birth and we will not be going back to Abilene for Christmas. Super bummed about that...<br />
<br />

We went to two trunk or treat events, one at A&M Church of Christ and then the other at the church down the street in our neighborhood (which for some reason I can't remember what its called). Either way, the girls had a blast at both and I'm really glad that somebody thought to start the trend that is "trunk or treat"...it makes things much safer and I think the kids can enjoy themselves better.<br />
Enjoy!<br />

My birthday was last Thursday and I had an awesome day. It started out with some mall time in the morning followed by lunch with a good friend that I don't get to see very often. Then while Livi was napping I actually layed around on the couch and watched a movie and then it was time to get ready for a GNO in my honor. A few of my super-sweet friends took me out to eat a yummy dinner and treated me to some coffee-talk afterward. I didn't make it home until 11pm (yes, that is WAY late for me) and I walked in to find that Koby and Livi had baked me some strawberry cupcakes with strawberries and creme frosting! YUM.<br />

Yesterday we stayed home all evening but tonight we went to eat at the Cotton Patch and then made a quick trip to Walgreens. My plan is to slowly extend the amount of time she's in her panties...especially when we're at home. She gets so proud of herself when she goes in the potty that our praise seems to be doing the trick. We haven't had to deal with the dreaded #2 yet so I'm fully aware that we haven't conquered the hard part! :)<br /><br />In addition to this I have to brag that she also ate quite a bit of broccoli at dinner tonight with very little encouragement!<br /><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 255px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387828411977959330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUHk-RbcBkwcplJFwKF_BP4IhMqACAcw6NTCfTsLUMVpSKKDUjIeT4JrWwR0K2bPITJXwKlUrajWpOWD7xY1nFb2iCpi66Xtoaud0lOYM1OzOBKD2LbJVFglXBIL6glep4uiU-TW192VU/s320/IMG_2828.JPG" /> <p align="center"> <span style="font-size:85%;">This is a picture from the fair and livestock auction in Caldwell last Friday.

Now, if you've ever been blessed with the opportunity to listen to Koby and I debate about this you'd know that I have been wanting to have this done for quite a while...Koby not so much.<br /><br />I'm not sure if there was anything specific that changed Koby's mind or if it was as simple as me saying, "Hey, we're going to the mall on Thursday after you get home from work to get Livi's ears pierced." Either way, she did great and was only upset for just a little bit. She loves to look in the mirror and talk about how pretty her earrings are!

We had a low-key weekend, partially by choice but mainly because it was raining all weekend and just spent some quality time visiting and catching up with each other. On Sunday evening, Koby's mom cooked up a yummy dinner (roast, potatoes, gravy, veggies, rolls...) and we had a birthday dinner complete with red velvet cake for Koby (his b-day is next week) and a Dora cake for Olivia.

Thanks for sticking with me!<br /><br />Today was the first day of Sonshine School up at the church so we were up and ready to go a little earlier than usual today. Really, it's not that early...school starts a 9am! Anyway, Olivia had a great time and only fussed for a couple of seconds when I dropped her off. She even gave her teacher a big hug when we were leaving to come home. She is becoming such a big girl. This is the best picture I could get of her this morning...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKrwRxglQx49pMIYWG8Ojs-l_i3olMJLdBGKPGdgnJP3qYUw-ia8Jd9o_veoARw4e6aUCscLC5FH1xr-8JY-IMukW7Kl-0wwxgNvR8M9t7qsq-Ue2RVJyoO0JswBa57oYxOEMl3ZzFmAE/s1600-h/IMG_2683.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379951902228999090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKrwRxglQx49pMIYWG8Ojs-l_i3olMJLdBGKPGdgnJP3qYUw-ia8Jd9o_veoARw4e6aUCscLC5FH1xr-8JY-IMukW7Kl-0wwxgNvR8M9t7qsq-Ue2RVJyoO0JswBa57oYxOEMl3ZzFmAE/s320/IMG_2683.JPG" /></a> Tomorrow we are heading off to Abilene to visit our parents and to celebrate Olivia's 2nd b-day (and Koby's 33rd). It'll be pretty low key, but I know that Bueno, LaPopular, homemade red velvet cake and some R&R will be included!Irma and Kobyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16458503536357110569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752263490495603199.post-83891918539619433842009-09-09T19:36:00.003-05:002009-09-09T19:39:18.565-05:00Wordless Wednesday...kind of<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKSaxM-t3Wzoc9UFRYizaHLyHLHi68UpV5IflQvbWYOsb_3iIF4WLL50BQEVFxqSlN7wbNmlTjrpvz6Vr5N-cVeqiDHzw5wM6XH8LJOu9sjL_LH_2rcznjHwYB6_blu5apWmRIJcVCrPc/s1600-h/IMG_2592.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379631673439809122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKSaxM-t3Wzoc9UFRYizaHLyHLHi68UpV5IflQvbWYOsb_3iIF4WLL50BQEVFxqSlN7wbNmlTjrpvz6Vr5N-cVeqiDHzw5wM6XH8LJOu9sjL_LH_2rcznjHwYB6_blu5apWmRIJcVCrPc/s320/IMG_2592.JPG" /></a><br /><div>If you still check in on this blog, please leave a comment.

She's doing much better today, not in a lot of pain, just tired and a little uncomfortable.<br />The doctor called this morning and confirmed that the tumors were cancerous, however, he could not be any more specific. He told my dad yesterday that they would send the tumors for testing and the results would be back in 2-3 days. So, when he called this morning I was really anxious to hear the results and a little impressed that the tests had come back so quickly. Instead, he said they needed to conduct further testing at their "other" lab in Dallas and that we wouldn't know those results until Monday or Tuesday of next week. <br />I'm trying to patient but it's really hard. I am not by nature a patient person. I'm trying to stay positive, but that's really hard too. Mom, on the other hand seems to be very peaceful and calm about everything. I know that is a huge blessing. Thanks for the prayers and words of encouragement and I'll update when I know more.Irma and Kobyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16458503536357110569noreply@blogger.com8
