I've always loved when we finally got to put up our Christmas tree for the holidays. Because of this, I want to make this day special for Marcus and Logan too. So the week after Thanksgiving I go out and get some yummy Italian cookies from a local bakery and we set out to trim our tree. This year Mo actually helped a little and had a pretty good time. Logan didn't make it through until the tree was done but he had fun playing with Mo in the box that the tree is stored in.</div>

School has taken over my life. Add that to the fact that I have returned back to work full time and I am pretty short on time. Blogging has kind of fallen by the wayside.<br />
<br />
As has taken my monthly shots of Logan :( I can't believe it but in just a couple short weeks he will be 10 months old! Right now he is completely mobile and can get into anything. His favorite things to get into include the cat food (yuck!) and anything that has a light on it including the computer, the modem, cell phones, and remote controls. He can also climb the stairs all by himself so our house is once again gated. As far as solid foods go we are still pretty far behind. He was sick a couple weeks ago and wanted nothing to do with it. The past few days we are getting back to normal but he is still eating mostly pureed foods and only eats about twice a day. I'm just hoping he progresses enough to eat some of his birthday cake in 2.5 short months.<br />
<br />
Marcus is continuing to grow like a weed. And he is absorbing things like a sponge. He knows his numbers 1-10 (most of the time in order) and he knows quite a few colors (which he must point out all day long). He has also started to learn the names of shapes. The other day he walked up to me with a foam block and said triangle and he was right! Took me by surprise that is for sure. But with all this knowledge and vocabulary is the ever so wonderful "terrible twos." He has mastered the "I don't want" and "no." He has also decided that talking back is fun. And as happy as I am that he is polite and says please when he wants something, he has come to think that if he says please he automatically gets what he wants.<br />
<br />
On the home front, I have decided to eat only a plant based diet and try to live a vegan lifestyle as much as possible. It is going pretty well and I have found some really wonderful recipes to try out. We also just bought a second car and it has made life so much easier. It isn't anything fancy but it does its job and gets us around safely. Other than that we are just busy busy with day-to-day things. I promise I will try to keep updated through the holidays. In the mean time, here are some photos to hold you over:<br />

It's hard to believe. He is a champ at rolling everywhere. He will get himself all the way across the room if he sees something he wants. He sits up all on his own and really enjoys playing that way. No more laying down for him, which meant bye bye to the baby swing. He also loves to eat! His menu already consists of squash, carrots, green beans, sweet potatoes, prunes, bananas, apples, and cherries. He has even started to get mad if you don't give him bites fast enough. Recently he has started to push his butt up in the air and scoot forward with his front half on the floor. I have a feeling he will be crawling soon. Oy! Here are some shots from our mini photo shoot.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

We began trying out solids a little after Logan turned four months old. He has a serious problem with "happy spitting" which is just a nice term for the fact that he pukes all over himself and everyone else all day long. Marcus had the same problem and starting out on solids really helped the issue so we thought it may help out with Logan too. The only issue with that train of thought is the fact that Marcus loved to eat (and still does) but Logan had no interest. Whatsoever. Rice cereal = lots of dirty looks and some major puking. Oatmeal = dirty looks and spitting it all out. Sweet potatoes = REALLY dirty looks. So all in all the first 1.5 months of this did not go well. Then I remembered this little contraption we had called a SafeFeeder. You put solids in it and the baby kind of chews on it and the food comes out all mushed. So one morning I threw a banana in there to see how Logan would do. This is the reaction we got:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> That was about two weeks ago. Then all of a sudden, in the past five days, Logan decided he was ready to eat and he wanted everything he could get his hands on. Thursday and Friday he had half a jar of apples/cherries mix. (We had already tried apples earlier on and he wasn't a fan but I guess the cherries made it better.) And then Saturday he ate an entire jar of squash and then was pretty ticked that there wasn't anymore left. Sunday he ate an entire tub, the Gerber 1st Food tubs, of squash. So it took a couple months but Logan is a solid eating champ and he loves dinner time! Here is a picture of how excited he is while Mom is getting everything ready. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu3BbYx49njnIPMuGozKevkRltnzLMG6kt3qZkiXm3kIx1eyHFPU329IZhlfV3K62hzo9s7NZ73ZefCZbmA8bnach9x5BGqlNf-JL5XWJ-gnnupcgQe8K4JAb_kE_BXLGFj31mwy1ItL-I/s1600/DSCN1328.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu3BbYx49njnIPMuGozKevkRltnzLMG6kt3qZkiXm3kIx1eyHFPU329IZhlfV3K62hzo9s7NZ73ZefCZbmA8bnach9x5BGqlNf-JL5XWJ-gnnupcgQe8K4JAb_kE_BXLGFj31mwy1ItL-I/s320/DSCN1328.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div>NikGarciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09903315735333900287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733147546110216557.post-77095965305874307252011-07-30T09:48:00.000-04:002011-07-30T09:48:31.690-04:00A New Garcia<div style="text-align: center;">A few weeks ago we added a new member to the family. We decided that Mo could use a kitten, especially seeing as Gato is not the nicest cat in the world. We named him Neno because it is something Mo can say and it is the Spanish nickname for feline which works because Gato's name means cat in Spanish. The thing about kittens is that they get into everything and are extremely mischievous. I haven't had to deal with this craziness in quite a few years and I totally forgot about it.

I wasn't always on the ball with Mo's because making the onesies would always slip my mind. This time around I found Sticky Bellies. They are stickers that you place on the babies outfit, making it so much easier to remember. Here are Logan's first 5 months of pictures:<br />

He has definitely followed in his brother's footsteps and is a big boy. At 5 months he is clocking in at almost 19 pounds and is wearing 6-9 month clothing. He just figured out how to roll over a couple days ago but since then he has mastered it. Every time I try to change his diaper he is all over the place and has figured out he can use this new skill to get to his toys. He can also sit up pretty well. He will fall forward after a little while but I totally expect he will be able to sit on his own by the end of this month.NikGarciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09903315735333900287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733147546110216557.post-44173975888824227332011-07-03T20:51:00.001-04:002011-07-03T20:52:14.859-04:00OopsSooo I'm a slacker. A busy slacker. I have started training for my first 5k race (with my mom at my side) so many of my other "projects" have fallen by the wayside. But, do not despair. I will have an update coming shortly.<br />
<br />
In a quick summary, Logan turned 5 months old a few days ago and is now the reigning rolling champ of the Garcia household. Marcus got all his hair chopped off and has finally mastered multiple word sentences. Oh, and now he calls me "Mom" instead of "Mama" or "Mommy" and I'm pretty sure I'm not too fond of this milestone seeing as it came on so early and unexpectedly. Lorenzo is working, working, working but he is in the running for a promotion! And I turn 25 tomorrow, have officially lost 24 pounds in the past 5 months, am able to run 3.1 miles in 40 minutes, and have finally decided Logan is old enough for me to return to school in the fall.<br />
<br />
Hopefully that little teaser will hold you over until I finish organizing all of our photos and get some time to give you the real dirt!NikGarciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09903315735333900287noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733147546110216557.post-81413572400079863812011-04-24T11:18:00.001-04:002011-04-24T11:20:49.006-04:00Mom and Mo TimeI have been making an effort to spend some one on one time with Marcus during Logan's longer nap times. This past week we planted some sunflower seeds and dyed eggs.<br />
<br />
The sunflower was a kit with a Mickey Mouse pot, dirt, and seeds. Mo wasn't quite sure what we were doing but once the seeds start to sprout I'm sure he will get a little more excited.<br />

Egg dying went much better than expected. He did get a little grabby with the dyes and was a little rough with the eggs but we just had some minor splattering. Mo's belly is still dyed a few different colors from that day.<br />

And for most of them, it was the first time they could meet Logan. We all met at my grandparents's house for some games and dinner. In attendance were my grandparents, my dad (Tim), my stepmother (Bev), my little brother (JJ), Aunt Trish, Aunt Tracy, cousins Alyssa and Carter, Uncle Terry, Uncle Todd, and Uncle Trevor on leave from the Navy. My sister and nephew came out with us.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Before getting there we stopped at an Easter egg hunt for the boys. It had to be held indoors due to the rain and so it was pretty crowded but the boys seemed to have a good time collecting eggs.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Well Mo is no different and right now LOVES shoes. It doesn't matter who they belong to or what they look like, he wants to wear them. Just this week Mo figured out how to get his own crocs on his feet, which is a pretty big deal because those things can be a pain. </span></span><br />

Usually we will kick the soccer ball around, play with his trucks, blow bubbles, or take walks. Lately Marcus wants to play with the sidewalk chalk. He isn't usually a fan of coloring but he seems to really like the fact he is allowed to draw on whatever he wants outdoors.<br />

</div> Last but not least is Mo's love of books, which to those that know me is probably not surprising. We now have to read a story before both nap and bed time. And he has an entire collection of Disney books downstairs that he browses through during the day.<br />
<br />
My current obsession with Marcus is teaching him manners. He knows how to say please and thank you but doesn't quite get exactly when to say them. So now when he asks for something, we remind him to say "peas." And when we give him something, we remind him to say "tankoo." We will work on you're welcome and excuse me once he gets these down. Some people spend time on colors and numbers at this age but I think there is plenty of time for that. People with good manners are few and far between lately and I think it is disrespectful and rude. My child will not be that way if I can help it.<br />

He also loves to stare at Mo, makes him smile every time. His new favorite place to nap is his swing and will occasionally hang out in the bouncy chair. He really isn't a fan of his car seat or the sun but here is a picture we got of him hanging outside with Mo and I yesterday.NikGarciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09903315735333900287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733147546110216557.post-69087280252162743892011-04-13T08:57:00.000-04:002011-04-13T08:57:20.425-04:00Still Waiting for the Sleep Through the NightLorenzo and I are running pretty low on our reserves of sleep around here. It is expected with a 9 week old. The part that is killing us is with Mo. Eight days ago we successfully weaned Mo from his pacifier. It was actually a pretty painless experience overall and he is doing exceptionally well without it. But in the past few weeks he has become afraid of the dark, refusing to sleep unless his bedroom light is on. He is also continually waking up anywhere between 3 and 5 and will only go back to sleep if someone sits in his room with him. It happens so often that Lorenzo has moved an air mattress into Mo's room so he can actually get some semblance of sleep. I'm not even sure where to start to begin fixing this problem. Mo has always, and I mean every morning for the past two years, woken up crying. No playing quietly, no yelling for momma and daddy, just wailing like someone is pinching him. I would consider the cry it out method but then the only person that can sleep through that is Logan. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Logan's sleep schedule is all over the place but he is getting there. He has had quite a few 5-6 hour stretches and the night before last actually had his first 7.5 hour stretch of sleep. The only problem with that is he goes down between 7 and 8pm. I don't go to bed until 11. After his first stretch of sleep he will usually only go down for about two hours at a time. This has had me getting up every night around 2, 4, 6, and up for the day by 7:30. We have also moved Logan out of his cradle and into the pack n play. He is a real wiggle worm and that thing was rocking all over the place. I feel much safer with him in the sturdier bed.<br />

I figure if I can stick with it, we will have an amazing thing to look back on to remember the times that our little ones were still little. The plan is to write whenever something new or exciting happens but to be honest who knows if I will have the time. Logan will be 9 weeks old tomorrow and Mo is almost 23 months. It seems like just last week we celebrated Mo's first birthday and Logan was only a thought. Day to day life with two under two is hectic to say the least and stressful on many occasion but there always those moments that make it all worth it. Today it happened as I was feeding little man. He was looking at me while gulping down his bottle. He grabbed one of my fingers in each hand and then tried to smile. Milk was running right out of his mouth. At that moment I actually felt my love grow. I'm sure there will be 10 more moments like this with both my boys today and thats what makes the craziness of it all worth it.NikGarciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09903315735333900287noreply@blogger.com0
