Surgery & baby food

Well as most of you already know I had a gallstone attack last week which put me in the ER. So I have gallbladder surgery set for Sept. 2nd. I have things lined up for the kids but I'm still worried about the surgery. I hate the idea of going under general & a machine breathing for me. It's a scary thought & I'm trying very hard NOT to think about it.

As for the girls....

I go to register Nevy next week for pre pre-school. She is going 2 days a week (Tues & thurs) in the afternoon. She is soooo excited. Nothing new really going on with Nevy just her usual funny comments & weird games lol.

The twins are getting big! They will be 9 months on the 30th! Arianna is doing so much better. She talks up a storm with lots of "dada" "mama" & "baba" lol. Celi looks at her like "shut up already!" lol. Celi is crawling forward....when she wants to anyway. It's more of a drag you knees crawl but at least she's trying! Ari wants to move so bad. You see her little legs going so fast but she doesnt go any where lol. She'll get there soon!

The girls are now eating soilds 3 times a day. I've been making a lot of their baby food which is REALLY easy & saves soooo much money. I made 4 different kinds if baby food today & it only took me 20 mins. It will last about a week! I made Avocado yogurt (which is sooo good. even Nevy eats it!), Mango & peach with cinnamon, Peach & pear with cinnamon & Chicken with apples. Yep & it only took 20 mins!


As for me...

Jose missed me being a red-head (I actually have a lot of red in my hair naturally. It was a strawberry blonde-brown as a baby) So I let him pick out a color. It turned into a nice bright (yet still dark) red. Since I had highlights before I dyed it I get different shades of red in the light. I like it a lot & so does Jose ;)
I've also lost 17lbs in the last 8 weeks! Yay me!

Well thats it. Wish me luck with the surgery. I hope I can give another update before I go in b/c who knows when I'll have time after! Until next time.....unless Nevy decides to push buttons & flip my computer screen up side down again! lol

As the world goes by...

I know it's been like FOREVER lol but things have been nuts this last month! I've had a party pretty much everyday Sat & Sun this whole last month. Things are finally slowing down. So I thought I'd do a kiddie update!

Nevy- is her usual happy self. Still doing wonderful with the potty & no accidents. She is now starting to realize the difference between English & Spanish. Before she would count to 5 in English & 6-10 in Spanish lol. Now we have to ask her to do it all in one language. She is picking up on a lot more Spanish words. Though she has always understood Spanish (thanks to Daddy) she has never really "spoke" to many words but she is getting better now. She is going to be starting a Pre pre-school program in the fall (if I ever decided which one I want to put her in lol) & is soooo excited about "Sakool" lol.

Ari- is a force that can't be stopped lol. She is determind to catch up with Celi. She is sitting unsupported most of the time but still has slight tipping over issues lol. She can now pick herself up off the ground on her hands and knees. She isn't "rocking" yet but that is b/c her back isnt strong enough to hold her up long. The OT says she will be crawling in a few weeks. She is even starting to hold her bottle.....FINALLY! Lazy girl! The only bad thing is her throat muscles are not getting better & she is still having trouble with soilds. So we have to make a Dr.'s appt for a swallow study to see whats going on but other then that she is my happy girl.

Celi- is a dare devil! I swear she is going to give me a heart attack! She is starting to pull up on things now & instead of hanging on she lets go. She actually thinks its funny when she goes flying backwards & lands on a pillow....yeah the pillow is a must or my kid would crack her crazy head on the hard wood floors lol. Her favorite is to pull on your shrit to stand and then use your lap to jump on. Yeah I know she's weird lol. Celi is also crawling backwards. It's more of an army crawl but sometimes she gets on her knees & does it. I hope she learns forward soon b/c she is always backing up over Ari. :)


So thats it for the kids. They are all doing really good. I'm so blessed to have such good girls. :)

As for me I've lost 12lbs in the last 5 weeks which is AWESOME! Yay me! lol I'm dying to go back to work but I dont want to put the Twins in daycare. So for now I'm still a SAHM ;)
