Gabriella 3 months old!

I just love this little girl!! It is crazy that she is already 3 months old! She is such a petite little thing (can even wear some new born outfits and a lot of her 0-3 months clothes are big on her still ), but she is FULL of personality and though we don't hear it a ton, she has a powerful set of lungs. :)

She is a super easy baby and such a little sweetheart


This cracked me up. She was sitting in the bumbo seat but her short little leggs barely touched the end of the bumbo seat let alone the floor...

beautiful sleeping princess!! Did I mention she is ALREADY sleeping through the night?! She usually sleeps 7-10 hrs. The only problem is she wants to go to bed earlier (no later than 9) so she wakes up earlier than I like but luckily she will nurse and go right back to sleep.


At the park. It was 81 degrees on Sunday when we were at the park at 5 p.m. I love it!




All of us swinging on the tire swing. Both the boys wanted to hold her hands at the same time but I finaly convinced them to hold on to the swing instead of her hands...


We can't get enough of her! She is so happy and cute. Here are some of the things she is now doing.
She loves to smile, giggle, squeal, coo and have little conversations with us. She loves the tub. She is now gripping and playing with little toys. Ben loves to interpret everything she says and does, and Landon is OBSESSED with holding her hands and now also her feet. Here is a conversation that I had with Ben the other day.
B-Gabriella is so cute huh mom I'm going to marry her when she gets big
M- Yes she is cute but you can't marry her, but you can marry someone like her
B- no I want to marry her
M-We don't marry our family it isn't right but I am sure you can marry someone just as cute as her
B- But then I won't be in the family anymore
M-Yes you will always be in our family
It is so funny to see how their little minds work. We are always having crazy conversations. I need to be better about writing them down. He cracks me up! Here are a few new pictures (sorry I am addicted to my Iphone an it is so easy to take pictures with it so my camera hasn't been getting its use... and the pixel isn't that great...)








The little dare devilI

Landon is quite the little thrill seeker. These are some of his latest favorites. He LOVES to swing the higher the better. Fernando will lift him as high as he can and let go (I am not strong enough) so I will give him under dogs by pushing him high enough to run underneath the swing. He just laughs and says 'again Mommy push me higher.' look at the pure joy on his face. I love it!


He is such a climber. You can't see this picture very well but picture a park play place and the tunnels that the kids climb through up in the air... this is him climbing on TOP. Just the other day Fernando took the kids to play. He watched Landon come down the slide and looked over at Ben really quick. When he looked back at Landon he wasn't there... he looked all over and wasn't seeing him then he looked up to find him CLIMBING ON TOP OF THE OUTSIDE of the big slide! By the time he got to him he had already reached the top and had slidden back down the slide! Talk about heart attack. But this is common for him. He is always climbing and jumping off high things... I seriously can't keep up with him!
He is so excited that he is finally BARELY tall enough to go on the rollercoaster. He LOVES IT! He laughs the entire time (that is exactly how I am on roller coaster - the bigger the better). I had to bribe Ben into riding and here Landon wanted to go again and again. At first Ben wouldn't go but once little brother went he couldn't be passed up by his little brother. Landon got off the ride and ran over to Ben and Daddy and said ' That was super awesome Ben and super fun!' We are in the 3rd row.




Here is another favorite. The Hippity Hop frog ride. It is a kids version of the zone drop. The ride takes the kids in the air and then drops them. This is the boys lifting their arms up so that so that the bar can go over them. He loves to stick his leggs straight out so that is more fun. Ben usually grips the bar tightly but he on the other tries to find the most thrilling way to ride the ride. I have myself to blame since I gave him the idea.


And to think that he just BARELY turned 3! Though he keeps us on our toes we sure do love this little guy (even if he is giving me a heart attack half the time.)

Our Princess is here!!

Gabriella Jean Nunez joined our family January 18,2010
After a 7 hr labor she was born at 5:03 a.m.
She was 6 lbs 3 oz and 18 inches
Here is her 1 day old

My sister in law Devan took her new born pictures at a month old. She is an amazing photographer! Thanks Devan your the best!

We took a trip to Utah when she was a month old and blessed her around blessed her out there. She wore my little sister Meagan's blessing dress for her blessing. This was so special to me since my Grandma Jake made this for her to be blessed in when she was really sick with cancer.(Crazy that she is now 15!) I love how angelic she looks.



so precious!


Her brothers absolutely LOVE her! They can't get enough of her! Landon has this total fetish wish always wanting to hold her hand and Ben thinks every little sound, gesture and smile she makes is the best! This picture caputures so well how it is around here, except that I didn't catch her smiling.


I know this update is a long time coming....I have been having camera troubles, internet problems and most of my pictures have been taken on my i phone lately so the pictures are horrible as far as resolution... but I promise to be better. We can't believe that she is already almost 3 months old.
