Just call me Suzie...

That's Suzie homemaker! I just finished making some new foods for Gabriel Lucas's. He will be starting with green beans or carrots. I also got squash to make, but didn't get to it tonight...maybe tomorrow night! Doesn't it look yummy? It tastes better than it looks...I tried it.

Sunday with dad...

Today was our 6 year anniversary, but those of you with kids know how that goes.... Anyway, today was also the first time that William got to feed Gabriel. Really the first time since he actually likes the food.
This afternoon we went to the mall. It was pretty busy for a recession! Here you can see the boys hanging out. As soon as I pointed the camera, Gabriel sported his smile...so funny! I caught part of the smile. They had fun and dealt with mom dragging them in and out of girly stores. Gotta train 'em right!

Mi lengua

Gabriel Lucas found his toungue a few weeks ago and he loves to stick it out. Here is our boy in a very common pose these days.
I just love this smirk we caught on camera. I had to share it. What a personality!

Gabriel Lucas's first solids...

Gabriel Lucas is going to be 6 months old on November 24th. He has been nearly 6 months on only mama's milk. But, the time has come for him to broaden his pallet. He has been expressing his interest in everything that mommy and daddy are eating. So, this morning Gabriel Lucas got his first solids, rice cereal. Here are a couple pictures.

He did pretty good. We tried to put the rest in a bottle and allow him to eat that way. He took more, but not all of it. More to come...

My New Toy...

Today, Gabriel Lucas got a new toy. He doesn't quite fit in it yet, but he will soon enough. You can see how he already loves it! It is a Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo...

Mops' Visit & Halloween

A little bit has happened between the last post and now. Mops came to visit Gabriel Lucas bearing gifts including Buddy (below). Buddy sings Old McDonald had a Farm..., counts his fingers, and asks questions about the animals he is holding. Gabriel Lucas loves Buddy!Gabriel Lucas has recently found his tongue. Here is a picture of what he likes to do...stick out his tongue. It's so funny. We call him our little lizard!

This picture is great! Mops and her boy stickin' his tongue out. Too bad Mops isn't sticking her tongue out. Now that would be funny!!!

Last week we had few cool days...cold for South Florida. In the morning, it was 53 when we left the house so I bundled up Gabriel Lucas in a jacket and put on his little hat. He was so adorable. But, I must say that I am glad it is not a regular occurence even though he looked so cute. That is a lot of clothes to put on one little boy! Of course, he was a trooper...even with the hat!

Now for Halloween...Gabriel Lucas was dressed like his daddy, a doctor. He had his scrubs on and a stethoscope around his neck. Very cute! Mommy's costume is not complete...a little further down the page....

Halloween at the office is a big deal. Major competition...this year our department did Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Here are a couple of pictures.

Drs. Arce in da house...

William was working from Saturday morning at 6:30 AM to today (Sunday) at 2:00 PM. So, today, Gabriel Lucas and I went down to Miami to see William. And since he fits into the scrub set that Lynna Runge gave him, I dressed him to match daddy. Here is our little guy all ready to go see his daddy.

And, here are both of my guys. Gabriel Lucas doesn't do much without his finger in his mouth!
