Time

I don't like it. The passage of time.

No matter how hard I try to hold on, it seems to vanish.

I had a baby 3 months ago. 3 months. Thrrr-eeee.

This baby is growing up rapidisimo, and I don't like it.

Here he is today.

I'm so enamored with this little guy. 

I had a feeling it was going to be bad before I had him,

everyone told me so.  But I never expected it to be this bad.

Seriously.

This is what I see when I greet him in the morning.

You see how he looks at me?

We are super happy with this little man.  He has a very laid back personality.  When he cries it's more of a "talk" than a cry, as if he were trying to negotiate.  He gives smiles away easily and coos, babbles, and even laughs.  I love it.  And he is sleeping through the night.  Really, I couldn't ask for anything more.

And though I've slacked in posting, I've tried to keep up with picture taking.  The problem is that the two don't go together very well, because when you finally decide to post you have hundreds of pictures to choose from.  So I've picked just a few from the things that have happened in the past 5-6 weeks.

Little Mike at 2 Months

 

Elena turns 5!

She went with Grandma and Raquel to see Puss in Boots, ate at RR, and had a day filled with presents. 

Mike has discovered the swap meet, which according to him is better than any thrift store/garage sale/craigslist deal.  He spent the weeks leading up to her birthday collecting presents, so on her birthday rather than having her open them all at once, we had her open 1 present every hour.

This worked out so well, we might just implement this for all their birthdays/Christmases.

She was excited about every present.  Actually played with every present.  And it made the entire day special.
