Playdate!

Last week, Jayden finally got to meet his french friend, Scarlett. Scarlett was born in February in Vancouver, but went to France for 3 months with her mommy and was away while Jayden was born. Here are Scarlett and Jayden together:

By the way... Scarlett is now 8 months old, and weight 17 pounds. Jayden is
3 1/2 months old, and weighs 16 pounds. Anyone else see a problem with this??? Our son is a BEAST! :)

Smile for the camera!

He smiles, coos and squeals, especially first thing in the morning :)

Something rare- a pic of Jayden and MOMMY!

It seems like all the pics of Jayden we have are with his papi... well I finally made sure we got a few more with Jayden and his mommy! :)

Another grandparent visit!

This past weekend Jayden got to meet another set of grandparents, Jason's parents. They came up to Vancouver to meet Jayden and see one of Jason's football games.

Here are a few pics from the trip:'

Boys night out!!

Last Wednesday night, Nikki had to work at the gym and Jason had a dinner to go to with the offensive line. Since Jayden couldn't go to the gym, he instead got to hang out with the big boys, and had a boys night with the O-Line and his papi!

Needless to say, he was stylin and profiling for the occasion!

He was such a good boy- all the guys held him, Sherko (one of the guys) fed him his bottle and learned how to burp him, and of course the waitresses were all over him!

Unfortunately Jason forgot to have a picture taken with the whole o-line, but at least you can see how cute Jayden is here :)

For Tio Aaron

It's still a little big but here is your nephew sporting his RED SOX hat! He's totally chillin' here...

As you can see, he is a busy boy these days! :)

2 month update

Jayden Antonio is officially 2 months old! He had his first shots on Friday, 4 of them, and is such a strong and brave little boy! He barely cried at all! He also had his 2 month check up, and is a very healthy and strong baby. Here are the newest stats:

Weight: 14 pounds

Height: 24 inches (2 feet already?!?!?)

Head circumference: 42 cm 

He's a beast! I'll post new pics soon!

Jayden and his papi

Just had to post a pic I took yesterday. The house seemed quiet so I went to check on the boys... they were laying in bed and Jason was reading to Jayden. Champ was there too. Just the 3 boys hanging out! :) Do you think they love each other?

Happy Grandparents Day!!!

Sunday was Grandparents day, which worked out great, because my grandparents were in Vancouver visiting. So, Jayden got to meet his great-grandparents! They were more than a little excited to meet him, too! Here are a few pics:


Jayden with Babs:

Jayden especially liked to "talk" to Babs. Watch and see!

Hi from Jayden

It's been a few weeks, so I figured it was time for another Jayden update. Things are going well on our end, just getting bigger and bigger every day! Jayden will go for his 2 month shots on Sept. 12, so I will post a new weight and height update then. That afternoon, we have an appointment with the US Consulate so that we can get Jayden his US citizenship. It's so exciting that he'll be a dual citizen! :)

Here are some new pics...

Jayden and mommy again...
Jayden the beast, already almost too big for the baby bathtub! How do we get him to stop growing so fast?!?!?!?
After the bath, nice and happy and clean!

Jason and mini-Jason! In 3-6 month clothes already...someone forgot to tell him he's not even 2 months old yet!

Jayden's first playdate!

Jayden had his first playdate this week, with some of mommy's friends and their new babies. There were 3 other babies there- Logan is 10 weeks old, Haden is the same age as Jayden (born one day before Jayden!) and then Gwen is just 2 weeks old. Here are a few pics of the babies, they seemed to get along pretty well!

From left to right: Haden, Gwen, Jayden and Logan

Why does Jayden look as big as the 10 week old baby???? :)

Haden, born 7/11 and Jayden, born 7/12. Friends already!

Jayden update

Jayden is officially 6 weeks old tomorrow (Saturday). He is growing and growing every day! As of his checkup this week, our big boy weighs 11 pounds, 14 ounces (95th percentile!) and is almost 23" long (75th percentile).


He is so alert now, and loves to watch the mobile in his playpen and the waterfall in his crib. He also likes to sit and talk to his papi, cooing and drooling everywhere!

And in case you were wondering, he looks EXACTLY like his papi! Here they are, Jason and his mini-me:

Mommy, please stop flashing the camera in my face!

LOL, my little thug in his "Big Dog" hoodie (relax, grandpa, it's from Old Navy, so not too hard core! I promise his jeans will always be pulled up around his waist!)

Aaaannnnnddddd... we're rolling!

Just had to share some pics of Jayden rolling over from his tummy to his back. I think someone forgot to tell him that he isn't big enough to be doing this already! I also think he is going to be moving around quickly... we better get ready, cause once he starts moving, I don't think there will be any slowing him down!! :)

"Hey, I can't see anything in this position..."
"Ok, this is better...I can see a little now..."
"Wow my head is heavy! But I like looking around..."
"Hey wait, what's happening? Where am I going? Darn heavy head!"
"How did I end up on my back???" :)

1 month old today!

I guess everyone is right, time really does fly, because our little tiny baby is already a month old! He seems like he really does grow and change every day... on his 3 week birthday, he rolled over for the first time from his belly to his back... he recognizes his mommy and daddy now and is cooing and talking more than ever!

Look how much he has changed in the past month! He's already up to over 10 and a half pounds... going to be a big boy like his daddy!

Better late than never... he's here!

I know, I know, I've been gone for a while... but I have a really good reason, and his name is Jayden Antonio Jimenez!

Jayden was born (finally!) on July 12, 2008, at 2:30 pm. He was too big for his mommy, and had the cord wrapped around his neck, so he was born via c-section. He was born 9 pounds, 6.5 ounces, and 21 1/2 inches long- a big healthy boy!

Here are a few pics of Jayden right after he was born :


More pics to come!

Still pregnant...

Every email, phone call, text, smoke signal, etc... that I get, no matter from who, starts with something along the lines of:

"Have you dropped that kid yet?"
"Have you had the baby yet?"
"How are you feeling? In labor yet?"

Now I know that you all love us, and are super excited to meet Jayden (as are we) but NO I have not had the baby yet. I promise as soon as I do, I will let everyone know asap! :) I can't keep it a secret, I swear :)

In other news... as of this Friday I will be 39 weeks pregnant, so he could be here at any time! Hopefully soon!! :)

Jason and I had some maternity pics taken this past weekend, and as soon as we get the link, I'll post it here.

Hope to have an exciting announcement soon!

Tough day at the office!

First I have to say that I absolutely LOVE my job. I work in the best place in the world, and while it's tough sometimes, there are also amazing benefits...

For example, last week a group of my coworkers surprised me with a surprise baby shower one night after work at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. There were 14 of us, and unfortunately none of us brought a camera...but someone managed to take a pic of me with my gifts and balloons on my cell phone. The night was so nice, I got to visit with everyone, the food was great and of course they all bought me ridiculous amounts of gifts. Kim made the cutest little favors, and cupcakes from Cupcakes!! They did way too much!

Then yesterday the entire office- 70 people- got together to say goodbye and wish me good luck with the baby. My supervisor really did surprise me, as I was expecting it but wasn't sure when it was coming, and they completely caught me off guard. I was so confused when she opened the door and everyone was there! They had a huge cake and of course, more gifts, which were completely not necessary!!!

And then today was our department's staff appreciation day, and Joanne (my boss) took all 8 of us to lunch and then to get manicures and pedicures. If you've never been 9 months pregnant, fat, ready to pop, and swollen, you should know that pedicures are a gift from GOD!!! Here are a few pictures to show how tough of an afternoon I had...

Paraffin wax on my hands while I relax in the massage chair.

I'm on the end, with coworkers Kim next, then Rinki, and then Cindy at the other end.Getting my mani and pedi at the same time... pure bliss!
