If you have wondered where my Jenna Reese got her nose from, the answer lies right here:
Every now and then I so see a glimpse of CJ in her, but, otherwise I have two words for this little baby girl: Puro Rodriguez!

A girl after her Mama's own heart
Carmen notices things that I don't even realize, (which can be good and bad,lol) so when I was vacuuming one day and found the chairs in her room like this...
...I assumed Rube had put them there. But, nope. It was my Carmie. I put those little chairs on her table from time to time when i'm doing my vacuuming. I asked her why she put them up there like that she simply said, "because you were about to vacuum my room." So simple and yet so profound. LOL. She totally rox my sox.

Because Daddy's think it is funny to put bloomer's on the baby's head!
Rube changed JR and she came back with her bloomies on her noggin, she obviously didn't seem to mind.

Playing Some Serious Catch-Up
I have been very MIA here in blog land. I believe we had only one free weekend this month where we had no plans, no commitments, no place to be. 'Twas a great month, though:
1)Ruben ended another semester with all A's, just finished a mini-mester, and starts Summer I next week.(I hear so much about school I think right now we practically eat, drink, breathe it. Exhausting? Yes. Anxious for it to be done? Yes. Will it still be a good while until it is over? You betcha. But I digress...) Big Rube also completed his CNA certification and is set to start his new j-o-b next week at a nursing home that specializes in dementia patients.
2) CJ had her first ballet recital and it was A-dorable. McFarlin Auditorium was packed and I was super excited to see my crazy CJ get up there and do her thing. Seriously, watching 3 and 4 year olds perform is chilariously cute... And so it was a great run this year with the tap/ballet experience. This fall we are moving to the next activity, soccer. Woowoo!
3) Jenna Reese quickly went from perching on her knees to pulling herself up to a full stand-up position! She has now been standing with support for a few weeks now and will even sit down without using her hands to assist. The Jennster also prefers to feed herself mostly, the taste of baby food is slowly getting old I think. She can gum saltines and cheerios like nobody's business. Annnnd, she loves to clap! Give her a "yaaaay" and she thinks that is her cue to start her little round of applause. :) I swear it seems my JR is doing these things earlier than her sis, must check this out in the CJ baby book... hmmmm.

4) Work is the same. Grateful to have a job. Great schedule. Fun work peeps.
5) Team Rodriguez had a great Memorial Day holiday weekend. Very thankful for our Veterans and for our Soldiers that serve our country. We also made a trip down to SA for a family wedding. Although super humid/hot we enjoyed the company of loved ones and more than appreciated a mini-vacay. :)
Our only family pic the entire weekend, JR was def not feeling it!
6) And finally, my apologies, dear blog - I love to keep up with this as best as I can, and, believe me I am kicking myself when I don't. Most nights after all is said and done for the day, I really, really want to pick up the laptop and record our tidbits, but, apparently sometimes not enough to get down to the nitty gritty and just do it. Maybe I need a new outlook on this and not over think it. Like I do with some things. Argh!
