Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we drove out to AZ to spend the holiday with Gus’ family (traveling pics to come later). Maiza had the most beautiful decorations and yummy cake pops for us. We had a nice dinner and the kids got to open 1 gift, and so did we. Mike and Maiza gave us a “new to you” camera. They had just bought a new one and gave us their old new one so we can have good pics of Taylor as he grows up the next few years! The pics here are still from the old camera, and new pics and Christmas day will be a while because we don’t have the cord to upload them yet, hopefully this week. We ate a really nice dinner, set off fireworks and visited long in to the night.  We had a really fun time and that night also marked the 1st night Taylor slept thru the night, WOO HOO!!!

Maiza had a kitchen tree (above), my new favorite thing!  It had all kitchen and food themed ornaments and the red garland is mini cupcake wrappers, so freaking cute!!!!

 

Duet

Tay loves to sing with me! 

Christmas Eve Eve

Thursday night we hosted a mini Christmas celebration with my side of the family before we left for AZ.  Grandad, Mom, Dad, Ray and family all came over for dinner and presents.  We had a fun time laughing and opening toys with the boys.  Ray texted me the other night and said I won for best Christmas present for Ryle, his new remote control car!  My Fav of the night was my new paci's for Tay, a little more Dallas love in the house!

 

Birthday Weekend

I had a really fun birthday weekend! Saturday we went to Becky's for her holiday baking party and taylor was all smiles for all the ladies! I prebaked my cookies so I could just hang out with the girls and came home with lots of yummy treats! Thank you Beck for a wonderful time!

 

After the baking party The 3 of us traveled up to Mike and Aprils so the boys could go to a rock show together and April and I could hang out with all the kiddos! Taylor and Kalea had the same jammies on so we had to have a photo shoot! We spent the night and Tay slept the longest he has ever slept - 6 hours! But we paid for it last night with him being awake for - 5 hours!!! We'll get this straight one day :)

 

Sunday we had a few people over to watch football and eat all those cookies! So it was my actualy birthday but we didn't do it up at all, just watched TV, talked, ate and played with the kids! Kaylee got to meet Taylor finally and she was in love with him! She even told her mom that she wanted a baby brother for Christmas :)

 

Thank you so much for all the Birthday love and a wonderful weekend!!!

Routines

Needless to say our daily routines have changed a LOT so here are some updates on the fun things happening int he Lombardo household!

The twins love to go to bed with me, they always sleep in Gus' spot until he gets there and this night they wouldn't leave, it was so funny!

That's right- a foot rub, LOVE IT!!!

Coffee dates with good friends, this morning we were hanging out with Shannon!

And this is how I get stuff done!  Tay loves his bouncer and I move it all over the house and he watches me do my chores.  This is Tay watching me blow dry my hair, singing silly songs of course!

Family Birthdays

We had a wonderful lunch with the entire family to celebrate all the December birthdays! What a shocker we went to Heroes and had some awesome food. Ryle was so excited to see Taylor and he says "he's my best friend!"

Bouncie Babies

Tay and Kalea love to hang out together, here they are bouncing away at Aprils last week after a shopping adventure with their moms!

Cell Phone Shots

Bless You Baby!

Day 1 a little sneeze comes outta my baby boy and after you hear this "ahhhhhh." We all giggled and commented on how cute his little coo was after his sneeze! Well 6 weeks later he is still doing it. Almost every time he sneezes he coos this super cute little "ahhh" after and I got it on video.  This was 2 weeks ago and it's about 30 seconds in but there is his little sneeze and "ahhhhhhhhh!"

And yes Jordan is cuddling with him in the playmat, and yes we lock her outta his room when he is in the crib, otherwise she would be in there laying with him for every nap!

The Bottle Throttle

Taylor had his 1st bottle this week!

When Tay goes to daycare in January he will have 3 bottles a day so we are slowly getting him used to the nipple. He did really well and throttled it in munites! The only problem was he is used to taking 30 minutes to eat and with the bottle he took 3 minutes so it kinda threw his schedule off a bit but we worked it out! Tonight my mom and dad are coming over to babysit while Gus and I head out to a Christmas party and he will get his 2nd try at it. Hopefully it goes just as well, I'm excited to have a night out!

And on a side note, thank goodness my boppy is big enough for 2 because Jordan loves to lay right next to brother when he is eating!  Here's me with both my little snuggle bugs!
