Jovany in aw....he didn't know what to think.....

Thanks Mami and Papi....this was so much fun!!!

This was Jovany's first theater experience. We all went with Mary and Jovy's buddy Isaac. We all had so much fun. I think Jimmy and I were a little too into the show being that we new all the words.

Busy Jovany!

Wow! These birds eat more than I do.....

Look at the concentration!!! I am really into this...

I enjoy playing in the sand with my Papi and cousins.

It's so much fun to play with the water!

Helping Papi with gardening. I love to help!

Our Gordito!!!

Goofing off with Mami...we like to sing the "Green Frog" song...

Sunday brunch with the familia....Tia Conchy, Tita, Tito and Tia Chachi


Fat Boy II

Much attitude people!!!!!

That's just a taste of what we are dealing with over here....and for those of you who don't get the Fat Boy II joke.....Jimmy's nickname as a kid was Fat Boy b/c he would kill for food...literally. We might have to invest in some locks for the pantry and fridge b-4 we hit the teenage years.

Our most recent trip on an airplane....Jovy has a fascination with planes, trains and automobiles...He was so excited this trip. He would point to the air and clap with excitement.

Here's Jovany and Gabriella teaching Macey a thing or two....the word No! is being used very loosely lately.

March Madness!

Hello everyone!!!







I know it's been a while.....just really busy. We all were sick battling bad colds and now Jovany's going through a major growth spurt! He's stretching upwards, loosing his baby fat and teeth are coming in like crazy! This child continues to amaze us with his appetite.





He's getting into everything lately, so we've had to lay down the law a little bit around the Tovar house. He's such a curious little boy and he's fearless. I turned my head for one second the other day and he had climbed up on to the kitchen table.





I am glad to say that Jovany takes after his Mommy! Daddy tried to skip brushing teeth one night (Mommy was at Zumba class) and Jovany refused to go into his room. He waited by the sink in the bathroom pointing to his spiderman toothbrush. Sorry Daddy....only one cochino in the house!







Here are some pictures of Jovany with his buddy Gabriella at Gymboree for the first time. They had a good time climbing, playing and dancing. It was what I like to call "organized chaos!" There was a lot going on in that gym, but Jovany enjoyed it all especially the climbing and singing.









One new thing to report.....Jovany is now potty training and we've had a couple successes. It helps that "Tita" reads tons of books to get Jovy and Gabby to stay on their seats for a while. Although # 2 on the potty has not happened yet for Jovany , #1 has happened a few times (one time standing up and wetting the floor...oops). We owe it all to "Tita" as she makes potty time so exciting especially when they wave bye bye to the pee pee and ka ki going down the toilet.





Until next time everyone!!!

Happy 2008!!

Happy New Year everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday!




So much to update you on...Tia Erika, Tio Ram and Max spent their first "Florida Christmas" with us this year. They were amazed that you can celebrate the Christmas season in the patio with shorts LOL!!




The boys had a blast at the Aquarium, Zoo, parks and just running around the house. It was great to see them interacting and playing nicely. Max learned to eat his snacks quick or Jovany will eat them all! Jovany learned that sneakers can sometimes prevent you from sliding down the slide correctly (bump, bump). They both learned how special it is to have cousins and they really bonded over the 10 days. The house seemed so quiet when they left and the first morning, Jovany went looking for Max only to find an empty room :(




Jovany has made many developmental explosions lately. We are now experiencing teething as 4 teeth are coming in at the same time, making a grand total of 6 teeth in his mouth. Let's just say that he's a little grumpy and is BITING everything including Mami, Papi and Tata (Abuelita). Thank God he has spared his BFF Gabby from the biting. With that being said, our 15 month old has visited the "time-out" wall a few times for various reasons including banging the wine glasses to make a harmonious sound and slapping Mami in the face etc. This little guy has a very strong personality and likes to push his limits. His determination is no joke....on New Years Day, he decided to bungee jump (minus the bungee cord) from his crib because he didn't want to take a nap. He gave Mami and Papi a heart attack when we found him standing by the door. So, as hard as it was to realize that our little baby no longer needed a crib anymore, we bought him a toddler bed. Although it worries Mami that he can roam around his room at night, he seems to have adjusted well.




Jovany has also developed an obsession with his belly button. He walks around the house with his finger in his belly button (a lot like Al Bundy) and he's always lifting up Mami and Daddy's shirt to look for our belly buttons. Our little Montessori baby is doing amazing with simple puzzles and with some encouragement cleans up his toys before bedtime. He understands and follows simple commands and is such a helper around the house. He loves to dance and lately has been doing a Stevie Wonder sway thing with his head. Tata has recently introduced him to Play Dough. He loves the texture and sorts them on his tray. Another new discovery is drinking from a straw. He loves it! Until next time....
