Zoo with Friends

The first Friday I was off, Isaac and I went to the Houston Zoo with some great friends (old and new!) - Shannon, Maggie, Lilly, Meagan, Jagger, Judson, Stephanie, and Addison. This was my first "trip" without Sal and I was a little nervous. But Isaac did absolutely amazing. He slept on the way, had fun during the zoo, and slept home. It wasn't until he was with daddy did he have a melt down! Enjoy some of the pictures!

Getting ready to go inside!
(he ate Cherrio's the whole day!)

Mommy and Isaac - this was the first time he had french fries, and he loved them!

Watching the Goats

So tiny in the eagles nest.
He wasn't too happy, can you tell!?

Playing the piano...he actually pushed another kid out of the way so he could play...

time to learn how to share huh?!

I love this picture of him!

Isaac and Maggie watching the Ducks

Isaac LOVED the aquariums!
See Shannon and Lilly on the other side?

Jagger telling Isaac about that HUGE fish!

I love love love this picture too!

Stay at Home Mommies...

It's been almost a month since I started staying home with Isaac, I thought I would have so much time to do so many things. Boy was I wrong! I never knew staying home with Isaac would be so exhausting! I knew what mental exhaustion was but now I am everything exhausted! There are muscles in my back that are sore that I didn't even know I had. The second week I was home, I could hardly sleep because my back hurt so bad! I know I need to give us some time to get into a routine and stop being so hard on myself about why I didn't get to everything I wanted to. Have I cooked since I've been home, maybe twice eek! I wanted to cook more....so that is one of my goals this next week...if you have any fast easy recipes you want to share, leave a comment! Isaac usually takes a good nap around 4ish so I should be able to cook some easy meals!

So here is to all my stay at home mommy friends. I admire you more now then when I worked! You have a HARD job and at times a thankless job. Thank all of you for encouraging me! I am starting to get the hang of staying home with I-man! Oh and He's already insanely attached to me, I can't walk out of the room anymore without him freaking out....which is hilarious to me because for the first year of his life he was with Mary!

Way to go Stay at Home Mommies! You are the best!

So Cool!

Rockin Rollin

Grandma and Grandpa Zepeda gave Isaac this awesome Rock, Roll, Ride Trike for Christmas. It rocks, then you can transition it to ride (while mom or dad push) and then it becomes a trike! Isaac is really getting the hang of getting on and off the trike, and also rocking back and forth. He's so cute!

So Proud!He tries sooo hard to rock - that's why he looks goofy!

Helping Daddy...

We did a little DIY project this past weekend, we installed new/extra cabinets in some of our kitchen. (Huge thank you to my mom and dad and Kelsey and Shanelle!) Isaac decided to help out where he could :)

"Hey Dad, whatcha doin?"Pulling the fridge out.
He actually learned how to climb this step ladder by Sunday!Who needs toy's when you have boxes?!
Balancing the Fridge, who knew our floors were so uneven, it took 7 shims to make it level!

Isaac crawled in the cabinet to see how sturdy it is!Sal shut the door on him :)

He didn't realize he could squat down and crawl out the same way he went in...so Sal "rescued" him!

Dinner!

When Sal and I visit his mom and dad in Austin, we eat and eat and eat - yuuummm-oooo! His mom is an amazing cook and makes some of the yummiest food - food I wasn't raised on but my husband was. So of course, like any wife striving to make her husband happy, I wanted to make some of the food he was raised because I know he will like it (cuz lets be honest I haven't always made the best food *wink*). So I called my mom-in-law and she gave me the steps to make some spanish rice, yummy! And I did it, and it turned out almost as good as hers!! Sal and I actually fought over who got the last bite! I'm sure the more times I cook it the better it will get! Oh and I made enchilladas too!! Look at what I made!!!

Enchilladas and Rice - now you're hungry huh!?

Food isn't supposed to go in your hair? What?!

Today for lunch we had pizza :) Isaac has had bites of pizza before but today I cut up some little pieces and he went to town! Oh My Goodness! He rubbed it in his hair, on his face, and he was even "painting" with the tomato sauce on his tray...so funny! Enjoy the pictures!

Yummy Pizza!

Kindof Clean, but not really...

Oh My!

Yes that is pizza crust in his hair and pizza sauce on his forehead!

Rub-a-dub

Isaac's new thing is to splash like a crazy man during his bath. Here's how it goes, play, try to eat bubbles, play, bathe, wash hair, rinse hair, freak out, play some more and SPLASH! The whole floor usually ends up covered in water and I've usually gotten a good dousing too! The funny thing is that his hair is usually dry but once he starts splashing, the whole drying process has to start again. And he has a lot of hair! Anyways, enjoy the video, you'll see how excited he gets!
