Easter Cake

Here is a picture of the Easter bunny cake I made for both the Garcia gathering and Thomas gathering.

What a day

Well, do you ever have those days when you know you shouldn't have gotten out of bed. Today has started out like that. I am hoping things will improve. I got up wih Manuk this moring and got a call from my boss. We have a semi crisis at work and I needed to get on it. I brought my computer into the living room so hat I could work because Manuk was not happy in my office or in the kitchen. Low and behold, Manuk doesn't fully understand the meaning on "no" (which, I guess at 8 months, what can you expect) and got his hands on the computer and erased a few emails of mine. Needless to say I did not react like I would have wanted to and lost my cool a bit. We had some stern words and both cried. I know that Manuk will not remember what happened because 20 minutes later he was curled up in my lap, but as a mother, I remember and feel bad because he doesn't really know any better. Oh well, live and learn.
I then have been dealing with Autopac and the mechanic about the car, so that's an ordeal in and of itself. Hopefully things will work out for the best.
Well, now I am going to try and get some work done, I just got Manuk down for a nap.
Talk to you soon. Betty, I will get some photo's up this afternoon.

Easter

Well, we had an awesome Easter weekend but as always there were a few kinks. First of all Jacko ended up getting a terrible alergic reaction to something, we still don't know what, and was covered in welts and hives al over his body. Poor guy, it made it hard for him to enjoy the festivities. We went to Jacko's families on Saturday night and had a great meal and time together. We had to say good buy to Tania who went back to Argentina on Sunday but it was great tohave her here and we hope she'll come back soon. We went to the Thomas' brunch on Sunday which was awesome. It was good to see everyone. We had a bit of a baby shower for Tracy and Blake and also a bit of a birthday cellbration for Grandpa. It was nice.
Now we are back to the real world and I am trying to clean up after a crazy weekend. I made a cute Easter cake (if I do say so myself), I will post a picture soon. Hope everyone had a good Easter with family and friends

Sleep over

Well Manuk had his first friend over for a sleep over on Friday. Ryden (Jamie Corbett's son) came over for a sleep over. They had a very good time together. I will have to upload a picture later, for some reason I can't do it now

The firsts are coming at lightning speed.

Well, after such an exciting day yesterday of the "first" time crawling, Manuk just had his first tooth break the skin. That explains the crankyness today. He was chewing on my hand, as he often does, and then OUCH!! He now has a little tip of his first tooth through the skin. How fun !!

MANUK CRAWLED !!!!!!!

Well, it happened. Tonight Manuk crawled for the first time. He first forward motion hands and knees crawl. He went about 6 or 7 steps until he got to the glass he was chasing down. He then crawled later on as well, what a smart boy !!! LOL

Another new "First"

Well, this is the first to top all firsts. Manuk, for the first time, pooped in the bathtub. I know, for many of you experienced parents out there, this is a common thing that you are surprised hasn't happened to me yet, but for me, this was an interesting thing. I can say that I am so glad that Jacko was home, being the good husband and father that he is, when I called him, he came right in and took care of it. Here's hoping this doesn't happen when it's just Manuk and I.
Be thankful that I didn't take and post pictures everyone, lol.

It's been a while

So it's been a few days since I've writen anything. It's just like the gym I think, if you get out of the habit, it takes a bit to get back into it.
Life is going really good, busy as heck but good. We had a good weekend of friends and family. We had 2 argentine families over for asado on Saturday and then on Sunday was a day of haircuts and pizza hut with Jacko's family. All in all, a good weekend. Now the week begins again , back to work but what awesome weather we are having. It is beautiful outside which makes life seem just a little happier, also the fact that I am writing this at 6:40 pm and it is bright outside still, got to love daylight savings.
Well,I am going to make more of an effort to write most everyday.
Signing off for now.

My life will ne ver be the same

Today I was working away getting stuff done, baking cookies (of course) for Kyle's churcvh fundraiser and working on a few things for my job and I had left Manuk is the living room to play for a bit. We bought a play pat so that he can grip better (as wel have hardwood) and then learn to crawl forwards. I kept peking in to check on him and when I went in to peek, he had moved himself over to the couch and was standing, yup, all y himself. I'm still not sure if he crawled or rolled to the couch but he managed to pull himself up and was standing there hanging out. This now means that this weekend I will be moving around our house and lifting a lot of things up off ground level. I am so proud of him. But life will be changing, that's for sure.
