Jibber Jabber & Baby Laughter

I just want to say first of all, being a mom is so fun and is so rewarding. Especially when you have moments like these...

Rebecca is such a talker now is sometimes cracks me up. She has quite the personality now. If she gets upset and she gets mad at me, for instance if I put her down and she wants to be held, she'll still let me "have it" even after I pick her up and she stops crying. She will sort of yell at me... it's pretty funny. Lately she has learned how to laugh and has really started to find her voice. Here is a clip of her laughing with daddy. It's quick but so cute.

Another new "trick" she learned is gargling her spit... I haven't gotten it on video yet but I will soon. She is also learning to roll over. She hasn't been able to roll all the way over on her tummy but she can get on her side. Here a few pictures I snapped really quick before she could realize I was taking them! They aren't as clear as I would like them to be but there priceless!

Snoozin' the day away...

The other day I finished feeding Rebecca and she fell asleep. I took a few pictures of her taking her snooze.

She was so adorable. I just couldn't help myself!

She's our little sleeping beauty


It's crazy how time flies. She is getting so big I can hardly believe it. I remember when she was brand new and couldn't even hold her head up. Now she is able to sit in my lap, I can hold her with one arm and she is talking and jabbering like there's no tomorrow.

Our New Addition, Rebecca Nicole

June 12, 2009 at 11:32 am, Rebecca Nicole Reyes became the newest member of our family. She weighed in at 7 lbs 9 oz and was 20 inch long. She is so much fun and is learning and growing so fast! She is an extra good eater and is starting to fill out... she has rolls on the inside or her legs and even has a little double chin! We just can't get enough of her.

When she was 1 week old, we had some newborn pictures taken of her. Here are a few of them for your enjoyment...

(I hand-stitched her little purple skirt...)

Today, we went for our usual morning walk and I took a picture of her in her little outfit... I couldn't help it, she's too much fun!

I spy 2 little rolls...

And last but not least, she has been a smiler since day 1 but in the past 1 1/2- 2 weeks she has been able to smile when being talked to etc... I finally was able to catch it on a short video clip today while I was in the middle of changing her clothes... enjoy everyone and I will try to blog again soon!

Maternity Pictures

So I had some Maternity pictures taken 2 weeks ago and here are just a few I wanted to share...

I went to see the doctor yesterday and he said I'm Dialated to at least 1 cm and I'm 70% effaced! He said I'll probley still be pregnant through this week but he thinks she'll probley come some time early next week or any day next week! Yay!!!

Hard to Say Good-Bye...

There's been a few changes happen recently... We finally moved from our 1-Bedroom apartment in Orem. I knew that it would be hard to leave but I wasn't able to fully comprehend HOW hard. Granted, we had a long tiring move the weekend before, but when we left the house for the final and last time after cleaning it, I bawled like a baby when I locked the door, drove home and even about 30 min. after I arrived!!! It was our very own first place and we had spent the first 3 years of our marriage there! Most couples would have moved at least once in that time, but not us. We grew so much together in that small space, had family come and spend the night with them all sprawled in our living room wherever they could find room and just had a lot of fun times. I felt like all the memories we made there would disappear as another "page" turned in our lives. Now, I know they really won't, but it was still hard to think otherwise. I guess we will just have to do the same with where we're living now! :)



In other news, my pregnancy is going really well and I feel great! I am starting to see the doctor every 2 weeks now. This last time they had to check my hemoglobin and so they had to prick my finger! I was so nervous about how bad it would hurt because I have never had to have my finger pricked before (that I can remember...) Of course it didn't hurt but it got me a little damp! :0 Rebecca has really become quite active now with stronger, more noticible kicks and pushes. I think she is beginning to tell me it's getting a little small in there for her! David and I can't wait to see her and hold her. It's getting so close!



Well, I still have yet to find the cord to my camera so I can upload my pictures! I have gotten a lot bigger! But until then, I will try to update more often.

Just another update

So, David and I found out we'll be having a little girl!!! Yay for girls! I can't seem to stay away from the baby department. They have so many cute things for little girls that I can already tell I'm "in for it". I felt her first kick January 15th and it was such a cool experience. That was the same day I had a Dr.'s appt. and he told me that I wasn't 17 weeks like I thought, that actually I was already half way at 20 weeks! My new due date is June 9th now. I can't believe time has already gone by so fast. In the next week I will be 3 month's away from my due date... crazy! Well, I had the chance to go to California to help out my sister Rach. She just had a baby girl of her own Feb. 3rd. He name is Scarlett Anne but I call her my baby doll. That's exactly what she is... she is such a sweet and easy-going baby.

Work has been busy and picking up. I've been working a good share of over-time and now I think it's starting to wear me out a little. I'm gonna have to cut back and tell myself I can't do it all and that's okay! :) David's been working a ton. He is such a hard worker and I love that about him.

Well, we decided to celebrate Valentine's Day more low-key this year and it turned out to be so nice! I went and bought a few things to make dinner and we ate at home. I had bought some stuff to make the table a little festive and it turned out really nice. I don't think we'll forget what we did for Valentine's day in '09. We couldn't even remember where we went to eat last year... I thought that was pretty pathetic.

Well, so far everything else has been pretty smooth and I guess I can say so far, so good in the Reyes' life/ home....

Playing Catch-Up

Wow! A lot has happened since the last time I posted. First things first... David and I found out we are expecting a baby on June 27th!!! It was a surprise but we are sooo excited and can't wait for him or her. We will find out if it is a boy or girl in about a month. We are pretty sure it is a girl... but you really never know.

We spent Christmas in California with my family and had a really fun time. It was busy and jam packed but nothing out of the ordinary. I took David to Casper's on our way back from the Oakland Temple and he is now in love. After Christmas, Jeff (my cousin), was married in the Fresno, CA Temple and that was really neat to be able to be there and witness that. We loved seeing Alex "Scoot"... it was hilarious. I will post the video we took of him and some other funny ones of Denny rockin' out to a Christmas "jam" and playing "enie meanie minie moe"... hecka funny.

David's Birthday was on January 6th and so we celebrated a little at my in-laws house. She made dinner which is always yummy food. On Sunday, some family friends came over and celebrated with us. I made a little cake and it all was eaten. They loved the frosting!

Now that all the holidays are over as well as a few birthdays, I am now focusing on my sister Rachel's baby shower. This last Saturday, I went to Pebbles in my pocket to get some things to make the invitations with... and what I came out with is really cute I think. I can't wait to send them out!

Well, I hope my next entry won't have to be soo much catch up as much as an update. I will try to get pictures up soon of my adventures!
