Sebastian's Birthday Party

Today we attended Sebastian's 2nd birthday party at Emerald Park in Weston... it was very fun...

Sebastian is the son of my good friend Jimena, who I met at a birthing class while I was pregnant with Olivia... We've been friends ever since and it's always wonderful to get together...

At the party, there was an entertainer that made all kinds of games for the kids and there was also a great kiddie park with swings and slides for all to play at... The party's theme was Mickey Mouse, which is always a kid's favorite and Olivia had a blast dancing and running around with other kids...

All in all a very good party.... Happy Birthday Sebastian!!!

Gaby is 12 weeks!

..another one of those "baby milestones" is here! 12 WEEKS!! wow!

It seems like it was yesterday that I was 12 weeks pregnant!... and now my little baby is almost 3 months.. how crazy is that!?!?

Well..she is as beautiful as ever and growing and thriving so well! I'm so happy with her, she manages to make me smile every day and just fills my heart with joy!

She is still sleeping in our room in her bassinet but we will be transitioning her to her crib within the next few days... I think it's time for her to have some independence! ;)

Gaby is such a happy baby, so active and engaged...she recently started showing some interest in grabbing toys that are dangled in front of her and she makes such great eye contact.. She also loves "playing" with Olivia, who makes her laugh every day..it's too cute! I hope I can see them interact even more in the months to come...

On October 16th (next Friday), she will get her ears pierced and finally look even cuter!!! I can't wait!!! Happy 12 weeks Gaby!!!

My new point and shoot

Time to cross off one of the items from my "wish list"... I finally bough a new point and shoot camera to add to my collection. I decided on the Canon Powershot SD780 IS and I absolutely LOVE it.. not only does it take great pictures but it also shoots videos in HD, which is an awesome feature...it was about $25o, which is not too bad!

Most of my pictures I will still take with my SLR Nikon D80, which remains my favorite camera, but this new point and shoot is great to have in my purse and take around with me... according to the online reviews it is the "slimmest" camera yet! Great, heh?

Update on my backache...

So I finally saw a doctor about my backache, which by the way, is a lot better today...
I went to "Florida Institute of Sports Medicine" to schedule an appointment and the lady at the front desk told me that there was a doctor available to see me right away, so I jumped at the opportunity..
I got x-rays and a quick assessment and was then told that there is NOTHING wrong with my back.... WHAT?? I mean.. YAY... but WHAT?? who can explain this pain then? I'm definitely not making it up... nor would I make it up!
... it turns out that my back looks "very nice" as the doctor put it and the only thing that COULD be wrong is the normal "wear and tear" from my daily activities (i.e. lifting babies all day long).. Ha!.. So I was given a support back brace and a pain patch (which I had already tried) and was prescribed physical therapy for 4 weeks...
Hopefully all of that will work and will be back to normal very soon! **fingers crossed**

My sister Claudia visits from Alabama...

She's obviously "home" sick since it hasn't even been two weeks since they moved to Alabama, and she is already here to visit! ha ha! way to go sis!

Well... in all honesty, she was only here because she took a trip to Mexico with her husband and they left out of Miami, so she took the opportunity to stop by our house a couple of times to see the girls and all!

It was great to see her... next time I'll see her in Alabama... (maybe!!?)
