Just for FUN!!

Guess who is standing all by herself... well usually with the help of the coffee table/ottoman:)

We had a wonderful and much needed weekend away in Grand Lake a couple of weekends ago; we had a blast... we were heading out for a walk.


LOVING her new hat that Grandma Sadie made!

1st BIG GIRL bath!!! Mommy I'm way to big for those little baby bathtubs:):)
Man did we get hit with a spring snow on Wednesday! Geez... but it was beautiful the next day so Chris got home early and we went on an amazing walk... it was beautiful!!

diaper rash, tantrums & spring fever!

So the title of this entry says it all:)lol... in the Garcia house it's been all about Chris and I becoming doctors and trying to figure out how to get rid of the "worst case of diaper rash ever!!":)lol. Although we logically know it's probably not the worst reported case you would have thought that our daughter had the plague:)... we were so sad, concerned, literally in tears because we hated seeing her uncomfortable; brought me back to the ever so lovely suppository days! Anyway she is doing MUCH better and now Chris and I feel like healers, miracle workers if you will:)! In all seriousness it was just awful seeing her little bum so uncomfortable and so red but we made it and she's almost back to 100%. So that is the diaper rash story (ps for those wondering it was because she has started eating what we eat and she ate & loved spaghetti but sitting in the "tomato sauce poop" all night not good on the bum! )

Ok so now the tantrums, oh the tantrums. It is so difficult not to laugh how do you other moms do it!??? Oh gosh, anyway so were playing, rolling around, making each other laugh and then all of a sudden, "Oh sweetheart let mommy have that, let's not play with that (remote, cell phone, etc...)" WHAT I CAN'T PLAY WITH THAT????????!!!! WHY NOT!!!!!!! DROP FACE FIRST ON FLOOR AND CRY INTO CARPET AND LOOK UP PERIODICALLY TO MAKE SURE MOMMY IS WATCHING!!... Wow is all I could think of and of course not to laugh!! Oh boy here we are:) She is so stinking cute when she does it it's overwhelming. Now she does it when she's tired, cranky, wants something, really anything. Chris hadn't seen it so this past weekend he was like what the heck was that??:) Anyway our little sassy girl definitely has a personality!!:)

Spring fever speaks for itself; we are just OVER IT! It's funny because it's not as if we've had this horrific winter or anything it's just been very overcast and gloomy this year and we are not used to that at all. Also having a baby is definitely different as well. I want to be at the park, go outside, go to the pool... Aaah I'm so ready for Spring/Summer!!

So that's our house in a nutshell. Emma will be 10 months in a few days (unbelievable:), she is happy and doing great. Still rolling, scooting and reversing EVERYWHERE but not quite crawling. She is doing great standing (at coffee table, ottoman, etc...) but not pulling herself up quite yet and she has 6 almost 7 teeth!! Chris & I are doing well. I have succombed (sp?) to the "baby weight" until after I'm done breastfeeding because honestly my body is still not my own. I can feel my body holding onto weight; it's crazy. Staying home is great but definitely an adjustment and I guess big news in our family is that my Dad is officially moving to Colorado. He will be driving out of Irvine (with the help of my Mom & Sadie) next Friday the 19th!!! Crazy, I can't believe it we are so excited. Ok enough talking here are some recent pics of miss emma grace!:) Enjoy!
