Lunch in Old Town Pasadena

No more leftovers for us. We went out and had lunch at the Cheesecake factory today to enjoy some non Thanksgiving food. Yum Yum. Tamara has really become a great photographer. Take a look at her shots.

Then she turned the camera around and took some self portraits.

Then I took the camera back.

Thanksgiving Day

Another great Thanksgiving at the Munoz residence. I think I will stick with this new turkey recipe because it came out fabulous. It was very juicy and had loads of flavor. Dont ask for the recipe Grandpa Bob.

Julianna loves bread!

Happy Birthday Alec!

We spent the afternoon celebrating Alec's 1st birthday. The party was fabulous and the kids had lots of fun. Tamara even raised her hand and volunteered to be part of the bubbles show. I was amazed.

Wedding

We had a wedding to go to today and no babysitter for Julianna. So we took her along. This little girl was great. She hung out for a few hours and then at 7:30 fell asleep in my sling. She slept until the next morning. Thank you for letting us enjoy ourselves Julianna!

Dinner at Zucca

Since Robert has been coming home so late, we decided to meet him half way to have dinner. He chose the restaurant Zucca which surprised me because its not a kid restaurant. Its a little fancy and we were going on a Friday night. So we got there with our kids in tow and recieved the stares as we were seated by the hostess. What they didnt know was that our kids are used to going out to dinners and know how to behave. We had a very nice dinner and on our way out, the people next to us asked "Are your kids always this good". Hey, what can I say.

What are you guys doing to me?!

8 months old Today!

So Julianna is now 8 months old. She is growing so fast, its unbelievable. The cliche is true, time flies. So what is happening with Julianna now?

1) Teething bad... she can't close her mouth because it hurts, so she keeps her mouth open with her tongue sticking out. The saliva just pours out. Poor thing. Her gums are red and painful, but no teeth yet.

2) Teething is making her VERY needy. She wants to be in your arms all the time. The moment you put her down, she starts to wail.

3) Not napping well, probably because of the teething. She has gone 6 hours straight AWAKE!! AHHH! Lets hope this is just due to the teething.

4) Has been waking up once a night between 3-4 am. I dont like it. I hope this ends soon. Plus she wakes up too early....6am. No no no no no no!

5) Would rather stand than crawl. Taking steps with hand or furniture support. I think she will be an early walker.

6) Has gone through all the veggies and fruits. Has tried and liked meat products.

Happy 8 month birthday Julianna!

Me and my happy baby

Look what I can do. I will be walking before you know it.

Cant forget big sister. Here is her "monitos" getting ready for dinner.
