Super busy

**sigh**

I have been so busy and it still seems like a whole lot is not getting done. Moving is a huge undertaking. Not only do we have to pack our stuff {which is super hard with a toddler, elizabeth I admire you for doing it with a toddler and new baby!} but I also have to do stuff in the new place like paint and wait for a kitchen to be finished. I'm so excited to have a new kitchen, but I am growing impatient.

Ok, you can get a sneak peek at the kitchen....



Besides that, it's been alot of family time. Gabe was lucky enough to spend Wednesday and sunday with jorges family. He loves going over there and I love the break! At first I missed him, but now I appreciate the time alone first and then miss him. I'm not overwhelmed with missing him like I used to be. Does that make sense?






Of course we spent Sunday night at my moms for Sunday dinner. It was yummy pulled pork sandwhiches. Gabe preferred pretzels though. He's trying to get to one in the bottom picture. {Wow! He looks so old and grown up.}

I'm going to try and be better about blogging, I know I've said it in the past, but I'm really going to try this time. Have a great Monday!

Happy easter and so much more

I so wanted to post this last night. However, my sicky baby and hubby all wanted to go to bed together. *sigh* There was so much I wanted to do, but I gave in to my two men.



We began our Easter at breakfast with the Sanchez family. We always go to this diner that we call "the fake golden nugget". Poor gabe had been running a fever all day Saturday and didn't seem like he was feeling much better. Breakfast was yummy, but gabe didn't eat anything but a bite of toast. I was kinda worried about him. He has never run a fever like he had on Saturday and he was kinda getting a rash.

We went back to jorges parents house to get Easter baskets. Gabe loved his! It had golf clubs, a big ball and a train set. He has fallen in love with Thomas and begs me to watch choo-choo. He was super excited about the golf clubs and was even swinging at balls. He was so coordinated! I was impressed!







He also got an Easter wheelbarrow from my parents the night before. It was filled with m&ms (gabes fav), a sword, a sprinkler and a duck for the bath that he was super excited about. He also loved the wheelbarrow. I can't wait to take it to the new house so that he can load it with sticks and run around.





We spent the rest of the day at my aunt judys house. Gabe was a little out of it for most of the day. He did pick a few eggs with Samantha. And eventually he let most of the family pick him up and play with him.




On another note...
Some blogs do steppin' out Saturday. Well, finally I have worn something nice and I will do stepping out sunday.



Jeans: seven for all mankind (marshals!)
Shirt and shoes: Kohls
Sweater: the gap

I hope that everyone had a great Easter. (I almost forgot!) I did run gabe to the doctor today. He has roseola, a fever followed by a rash. Unfortunately, there's not any medicine that he can take, but it should be better in a few days.

Sleep

I want some! Things have sort of improved with nap time. Usually, I can hold gabe until he falls asleep then lay him on the couch. I don't know why, but he sleeps by himself longer when he's on the couch opposed to the pack n play. One day, he even fell asleep by himself on the couch! So exciting!



For awhile gabe has wanted Jorge to put him to sleep. Great news for me! However, somewhere along the line they were going to sleep together in our bed. It's sweet at the heart of it. Jorge said he loves the cuddle time that they have together. However, I am waiting to make sure gabe is asleep before I move him, so I'm staying up still. Then, he past two nights, gabe has been back in our bed early, like before midnight!

He has woken up screaming with no calming down the past two nights. I think he is getting some teeth. Actually, I know he is getting teeth but they really haven't bothered him in the past. Tonight, I think he will be getting some Tylenol so that I can get some sleep. I have had a migraine for the past two days so I really would like some sleep.




Even though he took a two hour nap yesterday, he was still so sleepy on the way home he couldn't help himself. He even fell asleep without his "da" or pacifier, which he was crying for.
