It's pool season!!

We took the pool cover off for a day outside with the whole family. We have new bathings suits and toys all ready for Gage's first summer =] The pool was a little to chilly for his and my tatse so we were only in there for a little before we lowered the temp in the jacuzzi and hung out in there =]

On the move...

Gage is just about ready to start crawling. He's got the idea, now he just needs to figure out how to apply it! Right now he's in the "Army Crawl" stage, it's sooo cute! I take all the videos I can, whenever I can, because Im at work alot. I love to sit on my breaks and watch them on my camera... For some reason it makes me miss him less when I'm gone =)

Lately, I've been realizing how much I work and how little I get to see him while he's awake. It's starting to get to me a little. I remember my Mom being home with us all the time when we were kids and how great that felt to always have her there. I know Gage won't think twice about it, hopefully, but it's killing me to miss these precious moments with him. And i've recently came to terms with the fact that there's a chance I'll miss his first crawl, walk, and even words..

Every day I drive to work, I have to tell myself over and over again that I'm doing the right thing, i'm providing a life for him... A life where we wont struggle, where we can live in a safe neighborhood, and take family vacations (all of the things my parents gave to me). I've been reading "Chicken Soup For The Working Mom's Soul" and it's been a life-saver! It's good to know that every working Mom has this mental battle, not just me. Anyways, Here's a short video of his army crawl a picture of him sitting up all by himself! =)

Johnny Jump-up...

Grandma and Grandpa Richeson set up Gage's Johnny Jump-Up the other day. He seems to like it just fine. He doesnt quite jump, but he twirls around and makes goofy noises... Which is entertaining enough. =]

Easter Time..

We went and saw the Easter Bunny today at the mall. We got Gage a "My 1st Easter" outfit and Elise a new spring dress to wear. I was a little scared about how they would turn out, I must admit. Elise is shy about smiling sometimes because of her "windows" or missing front teeth, so I was almost sure she'd have her "stern" face she usually has for pictures. And Gage, Well, most tiny babies have a fear of 6-foot furry things, so I figured he would cry.


When We got there, both the kids before us in line were all dressed up and super excited... Until they saw Mr. Bunny. I have never heard children cry soo loud and hard. Bloody murder, I swear. I was sure it was going to rub off on Elise and Gage. Luckily, Elise was too busy rolling around on the ground in her brand new dress to notice and as long as Gage has his hand to naw on, he's set =]


Gage loved the Easter Bunny and because I take pictures of him almost every 5 seconds, he new exactly what to do when he saw the flash. And Elise felt so pretty in her dress she had a huge smile to match. SUCCESS!


Hope you like them! <3>

Hot Wheels..

Gage got a new ride today and he loves it!! Its a bouncer, walker, and activity center all in one. Way worth the money for these priceless smiles.

Movin on up..

At Gage's 4 Month Check up his Pediatrician said we should start experimenting with some solids, Introducing a new food flavor every week. It's not his primary source of nutrition, but we're getting him used to new tastes and getting him used to getting fed with a spoon. I took a video of his first time trying Organic Carrots. I think he actually liked it!

First Photo Shoot 01/2010

We took Gage to get his photos done while he was still relatively little. He's growing way too fast and it's getting harder and harder to remember what he was like when he was born..

Hope you like them!!! Love you all :)

Long overdue update...

Alright, so I know it's been a long time. I've just been so caught up in spending time with Gage that everything else seemed to have taken a back seat!! My maternity leave went by so fast, I feel like I should have another month or two to stay home... But I don't. I went back to work on the 15Th. Jimmy and I have it worked out to where I will work mornings, and he will work nights. this way, Gage is with at least one of us for majority of the day.


Changes with Gage: He laughs a ridiculous amount, all smiles. I have never seen a baby so happy. He thinks that he can talk, and he already has different tones to his voice... Sometimes stern (He can work his eyebrows) and sometimes super cheery and squealy..He puts everything that comes near his face into his mouth, and I must say he's got quite a grip on him :) You can see a couple of white spots on his lower gums where his teeth will soon be making their first appearance. His eyes stayed blue!! Gage is a 1/4 Filipino, with orangish hair, and blue eyes HAHA!

Here are some pictures of the last couple of months:



Cutest pants ever:

His favorite time is naked time, he HATES clothes (It may have been all that dressing up I made him do when he was first born ha ha):

His Bumbo seat, he LOVES this thing:

And the super cute sweater that Great-Great Auntie Barb made:

Everyone said not to blink, that children grow up way too fast.. And I, remembering how dreadfully lonnnggg 9 months was, figured they were exaggerating. But holy cow were they right! I can't even rap my my head around how big he is getting. I love my little man!!!
