Johnny O and Stevie B

Stevie B

Johnny O

Some back round:

Stevie B and Johnny O are both freestyle singers from the 80s/ early 90s.

This past week 3 babies were born: Marsel Oscar on Tues., Giada Rae and Faith Ann both on Thurs. The girls to differnent parents. So Friday night Joel and I were getting into bed, and we were talking about the babies this week. I was telling him all the names. So that led into what we would name our next child. So at first, you might be thinking that this would be a serious conversation. But anything that Joel and I talk about while were going to bed, usually is anything but serious. So Joel is telling me what he thinks for names. Joel would like to give our next child the middle name Tiberius, after James Tiberius Kirk. (William Shatner in Star Trek.) So that's were he goes with names. I said that I liked the name Lucas. That was one of the names that we thought about for Adrian when we were trying to come up with his name. So being that it was some time around midnight, and we were both pretty tired, things only got silly from there. Joel and I both like freestyle music. We've gone to a couple of concerts. At one we saw, Johnny O. (Sings Dream Boy/ Dream Girl with Cynthia). I really like Stevie B. (Party Your Body, Spring Love). But we haven't seen him. So Joel says we could name our twins, yes twins, Stevie B Lucas Perez and Johnny O Tiberius Perez. Please note how we said it would be boys. I've come to terms that I'll be the only girl in my house. Besides it seems as if Joel's family only makes boys. How we got the twins, I dunno know. There are twins in my family, but good lordy, no, I don't want twins! So back to the names. This continued until Joel fell asleep. And when I say fell asleep, I mean he said something and just as soon as he stopped talking, that's it, he was asleep.

So heaven help our future kids.

Rubber ducky you're the one, Rubber ducky you're lots of fun...

Took these a couple of days ago. And he was holding still enough for me to take some pictures. He's all over the place now. His tub is the shape of a duck and it quacks when you squeeze the beak. Marsel wants to take a bath with him, but we don't have a bath tub. So sometimes Marsel comes and sits with us, while Adrian is in his tub.

Sick and two owwwees...

Adrian has another cold. It comes with the territory of day care. I was thinking that he wasn't feeling so wonderful on Saturday night, but it didn't last the whole weekend. Monday I was home with both boys. We went to the park with Kate and I thought it was back. He started coughing, and was touching his right ear. We were keeping on eye on him. So on Thursday I didn't work, so I kept him home me. I ended up taking him to the doctor's. And I found out that he has an ear infection in both ears. Poor kid. He had ear infections in Dec. At that appointment I asked the doctor if it was likely that he would have many ear infections if I did when I was little. I had them all the time, according to my mom. The doctor said that it was possible if he inherited the shape of my ear canal.

It's awful when your children are sick. And most of the time there isn't much you can do to help them. I felt bad for the little piglet this morning. I was nursing him and I could tell that he needed to cough, but he was too hungry to let go.

Hoping he can get over it quickly.

New Toys...

Feeling like a little kid today. Joel got me a new lap top today. He got a good deal at Circuit City, they're going out of business. So if you want something you better go quick. He said things were flying off the shelves. In fact he went back w/ my mom so she could get one too.
I've been wanting one for awhile. When he got home he said "OK, Happy Valentine's, cause this is it." I was and am, excited about it. And I guess it's good that he gave it to me now, because it's pretty likely that he won't be here for Valentine's Day. It looks like he has to go to North Carolina for work.
Anyway, I just wanted to share how excited I was.

Love em!

It was a good day.

Kevin Jones and Chrissy. (The 3 of us went to high school together.)

Poor Megan. Taboo was kickin her butt.

Joel was telling a story about Chirssy. I was laughing soooo hard. I won't get into what it was, cause I don't want you to get mad Chris. But it was funny. I thought so anyway.

This is when the server brought the dessert and told the resturant that I was 35. I'm 29.

Kate, Megan and Chrissy

My birthday was great. I had lunch with a friend of mine, Jerry. Then I had to work. It wasn't bad though. They had a cake for me. Chrissy was already at the house when I got home. And Joel had gotten me a cake, the the one above. On Saturday morning, Joel made breakfast. Later Chris, Kate, and Meg met Kevin for lunch. We haven't seen him in about 10 years. Later we took a nap. That's always good. Then we went to dinner. After dinner we came home and played Taboo. So funny. Oh and I had 2 more cakes, one from my mom and one from Kate. It was a wonderful birthday!
Sorry I'm writing such short sentences. My stomach is growling and that's all I can think about. So I'm trying to get this on as fast as I can. :)

The Big Count Down

Tomorrow's my birthday. Gonna be 29. My last year of being in "my twenties". A little sad, but also glad that I've made it this far. And in the grand scheme, it's not that far. I'm happy to have what I have at 29 that some people don't have 49. :)
Chrissy (one of my bf's) will be here tomorrow night. And we're gonna have dinner on Saturday,- Joel, my mama, Chrissy, Kate (my other bf), and her sis Megan. I'm looking forward to it.
I'm sure I'll have some pics to post.

8 months

His new face.

The elusive top teeth. A 3rd tooth on the top left has already broken the skin and the one on the other side is right behind. But every time we try to lift up his lip to see, he quickly claps his lips closed. Stinker.

Black and whites always look nice, plus it hides all the food that was on his clothes.

Yesterday Adrian turned 8 months old. He's getting better at sitting up, and crawling. But it's all when it suits him. He has 4 teeth and 2 more making their way. He's a wonderfully happy baby. Joel and I trying to enjoy him as he is now, not wanting to rush anything. B/c he won't be like this tomorrow. We were talking about how big he is now, from when we brought him home. But then there are times that I can see how small he is. I was giving him a bath in his ducky tub, (I'll have to get pictures with Joel's help. The kid is all over the place in the tub.) and he was sitting up and I realized how little he was. He really is a lot of fun.

A few...

I like this one of Marsel.

Bro's.

This was last night. He's out.

A little playing. Lazy playing, but playing non the less.

Adrian feeding himself.

And here's one of his piano playing skills.
