The Boys

Jake and Ice chillin' on Saturday morn'

One Month Old, (not quite)

Jacob is now 1 month and one day old. He is amazing and challenging at the same time. He has been a great learning experience including for Isaiah.

Family has been a great support for us and as far as Jacob is concerned, more arms is better.

Not quite ready to play yet...

Brotherly love...

Isaiah loves his brother so far.

Isaiah told clearly explained the concept of jealousy and said he wasn't jealous.

Angie asked why Isaiah would be jealous and he said because of Jacob and he said he loves his brother.

Vintage Isaiah

This is Isaiah less than 1 year old when we lived in downtown. 

Auntie...

Ashley holds his Jacob in her arms, both are quite new to this. 

 

Granma's arms...

I'm sure Isaiah would agree that there is no arms like the spoiling arms of a grand mother. 

Our first outing...

Jacob prepares to go to the doctor for his first check-up. The outcome was good, so far he had gained 1/2 a pound, right on the mark for an infant his age. 

The scale of things to come...

This is jus the begining. I guess as Jacob grows I will nee two hands to hold his diaper. 

Goin' Home...

Angie, Isaiah, Jacob and I prepare to go home for the first time as a complete family. 

Jacob soothing himself after a meal. Isaiah gave Ruff Ruff to Jacob as a show of brotherly love. 

Angie and Jacob have a moment after a great meal. 

Jacob Turn 2 Weeks Old...

Jacob has brought even more joy to our family.

Isaiah so far accepts his brother, and says he loves his baby brother.

Baby Reyes II

Baby Reyes is coming soon...

Angie feels Great and she is doing well. Isaiah, Angie and I really want to see Baby Reyes II real soon. We are all awaiting the surprise of whether Baby Reyes is a boy or a girl.

Stay tuned, pictures will be coming soon...

Genny's Birthday..yay yay...

Today was my mother's forty something birthday, I actually know how old she is, but I don't want to embarass her by saying her age.

She woke up to the sounds of Isaiah saying "...happy birthday gramma." and some breakfast with flowers and devil's chocolate cake with french vanilla ice cream with strawberries.

Next we hung out and took her to late lunch at CPK, it was good. Still we needed a little sweetness in our lives and headed to Cold Stone's for some real dessert:

Reinaldo had, 1/2 banana ice cream 1/2 coffee topped with pineapple and strawberries.

Genny had, cheese cake ice cream with bananas and strawberries on a chocolate waffle cone.

Ashley had, 1/2 mint 1/2 chocolate ice cream, topped with M&M's

Angie and I had, banana ice cream topped with light almonds and strawberries.

Last but not least...

Isaiah had, chocolate ice cream topped with colored sprinkles, of course he was only interested in the colorful sprinkles.

There were no streamers or carne asada or fancy wrapped gifts but there was a lot of love between gramma, grandson, mother, daughter, son, daughter-in-law, husband love for my mom.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GENNY

Training day…

Today Isaiah and I decided to meet Angie in Downtown Los Angeles. We hopped on the train in Norwalk, the Green Line and headed west. We took the Blue Line north towards Los Angeles. We got off at Hope and 7^th and luckily and coincidentally met up with Angie upon arriving in downtown. We all headed to Macy’s, and bought some MAC for Angie, cause my baby gots to look good.

We parked our car in a spot that only charged 3 bucks for the whole day and in was a single level parking lot too, the perfect spot. We got the stroller and jumped on the Red Line subway to Union Station. We finished our ride there and walked over to the Gold Line and headed northeast towards Pasadena.

We had some lunch at the Cheesecake Factory but we didn’t have cheesecake, hmmm???. Next we walked around Colorado Blvd in the beautiful 70-degree temperature with a hint of a cool westerly wind. By this time Angie and I were getting tired but Isaiah seemed to have Energizer batteries.

It had been a day full of fun. I like to see Isaiah’s face light up when he sees a train. I like to hear him tell me that he wants to go on the train one more time. I like to see his little look of confusion when he sees something he has never seen before, even more, I like to explain things to him. Children are little sponges that are looking for answers to the world they are learning about.

I hope that Angie and I never stop teaching him new things; or encouraging him find new adventures, even in every day life such as train ride.
