What a way to start off the new year

I am so mad!!! Jovani wakes up this morning to eat and I turn on the tv to watch Spongebob Squarepants and I read the scroll at the bottom of the page that says Time Warner Cable customers will be losing 19 channels!!!! Are you serious?! How can they do that?! What am I suppose to watch at 4am when Jovani wakes up to eat? No more Roseanne?? No more Fresh Prince or Home Improvement? I look forward to Nick at Night. And what about VH1? The season finale of Real Chance of Love is next Sunday and I cant watch it! So I call TWC and wouldn't you know it, the numbers are disconnected! After calling a bazillion times theres a message about how MTV wants more money and TWC doest wanna pay up and blah blah blah All I want is my Nick at night and VH1 FIX IT!

Christmas Edition

Santas little helper got caught sleeping on the job

Christmas came and went and I thought it would feel like Christmas to me but when the day actually got here but it didnt. It was nice outside, I would say about 74ish but a bit muggy. We went over the Montejanos house for Christmas dinner which consisted of a turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls, basically a Thanksgiving dinner and it came out good. Then we played Mario Kart on the Wii and OMG it is so fun! My little sister and I used to have so much fun playing it on Nintendo 64 and playing it on the Wii and so much more fun. Its tricky using a motion sensored remote. Now I want to get it. Jovani had fun playing with Stacys daughter Hendrix. Shes so cute and loving. When Jovani was sleeping in his car seat she would go rock him lol

playing around with the camera

After, we had to make another stop to visit Freds grandmother. Jovani got a pretty bracelet from his great granmother. It fits him a little big so we have to take it to get resized.There I asked Freds cousin Claudua if she would do us the honor of baptizing Jovani. She was so happy she cried tears of joy. Im gald we picked her because she is so loving with Jovani and just overall a beautiful person inside and out. So we're planning on baptizing him in Chicago when we go back in July.
When we got home we went straight to bed. Jovani didnt get to open his gifts til the next day. He didnt get a lot consiering he is so small theres nothing he can really play with yet. But here are some pics.
" I cant wait to open my presents mom!"

"Thats not what I wanted!!!!!"
"Well, that kinda looks cool."
"All right, here comes the good stuff"

"Parental assembly required? Aw man"

"Its ok I guess"

"I think I like my cow better"

Lets give this a try...

I have no idea how to work this, give me some time and hopefully I won't forget I have a blog and I'll learn to use it. Rachel Camp gave me this idea, thanks girl. I don't have myspace anymore, so maybe this will work out for me to put up pictures and videos to share with you all.
An update on us, Fred picked up second class and has gotten so motivated that he's decided to go to med school. Yep, that means the rest of our lives in the Navy. Times are rough, so having a military life right now isn't so bad besides the fact that we live so far away from everyone. Its a steady job that puts food on the table and gets us what we need and Im thankful for it. So give Fred about 10 years and you can start calling him Doc Menchaca...and I'll be in the background sitting in my Mercedes waiving hello =] In the mean time Freds getting everything ready to get into IDC school which is basically a mini doctor. Since he just picked up rank, he has to wait two years to enroll into that school and right now he's getting his prerequisites out of the way.
As for me, um, Im still me only a mom now. Sometimes it feels like Im not a mom, like Im babysitting for one of my sisters or something. Then comes those 4 am feedings and Jovani is still here, so yeah, its true, hes mine and Im definitely a mom. Once January comes Im going to get on the right track and drop some Lbs. I lost all of my 17 pounds of baby fat I gained but I want to lose more. Living on base has its perks, a free gym that I will be going to. So next time my family sees me I'll look like I did when I was in high school, hopefully =P
Jovani is seven weeks today! He has gotten so big so fast. He went from this

to this

Big difference huh? He smiles so much and in the middle of the night I'll hear him laugh and talk to himself, he's so cute. He loves to stretch and eat, but most of all poop lol
Well, Christmas is two days away and it doesn't feel like Christmas at all. I have to say, that I've become very home sick =[ now more then ever. I miss my family and friends and its not the same without them. Not to mention the good 'ol below zero weather Im missing out on. I hate Texas. Its 40 out here right now which gives me at least some kind of comfort I guess. But I did put up my tree, I added some ribbon but I haven't even gotten a star yet. Whoops, Ill wait til everything is on sale.

And a pic of Jovani to end this blog.
