Spring Break 2011

So so sorry for the lack of posts lately... been busy with school and life. And right this moment, I am in my philosophy class... but I have decided to give the people what they want... pictures!!

Spring Break was short and sweet. It included visiting family in Victoria, TX, the Texas State Aquarium and the beach in Corpus Cristi with my mom. Cube had a blast :]


There were entirely too many pics to upload but click here to get to my facebook album of Spring Break.

More updates coming soon!

1st Birthday

When he reached that magical number- 12 months- something magical happened. I magically won tickets on the radio to Sesame Street Live!!

He loved it!

His favorite was Oscar the Grouch

:D

For his actual first birthday, we went to Jim's :]

It was fun. He ate off the kids' menu for the first time (sandwich and fruit), and they gave him a free piece of cake. He loved it. <3

The birthday party itself happened the Firday before his Jim's meal- the Friday after Thanksgiving. It was at Peter Piper Pizza and the theme was Finding Nemo, because, as we all know, He frikkin loves Nemo. For 'tis his favourite. :] And did I mention, I made the best cupcake cake ever?

And not before long, he got to eat his first cupcake. THE WHOLE THING. He didn't nap that day either. It was pretty cute.

&& that was it. One year came and went. He's now a walking, talking, attitude-filled little ball of fun. He's experienced every holiday, every month, every season.. and now... he gets to go through it running and telling me about it. :]

Next chapter please...

11 month

Cube's First Halloween was wonderful. He was Nemo, since that's his favorite movie. We went to the San Antonio Zoo with my dad, his girlfriends kids(Gaby-15, Gabe-now 13, Kristy-10, Joaquin-5), & of course, Cube's Daddy was there. We all had tons of fun and watched a pretty cool puppet show. There were games and things too. Then we ran into a Nemo game. And Cube pointed at it and smiled, so we cut in front of the line and took a picture. (lol!) We were only there for a few hours and left because people were getting restless and you could tell the attractions were aimed at children up to around 5 or 6.


My Dad's girlfriend's children got here a little before Halloween while she flew to Guam to plan a funeral. She finally got to San Antonio on December 1st and Cube loves all of them. Gaby, the oldest, has babysat Cube an many occassions and I personally think he has a crush on her. She even gets him to take cute pictures!

Thanksgiving passed in his 11th month also, and Cube ate like a big boy with turkey and mahed potatoes and Mommy's famous green bean casserole. And of course, he loved it! 'Cause this little nugget loooooves food.

&& That's All Folks!

First Haircut!

Bye-bye curls! He got a haircut!

(oct. 3)

"You."

The aftermath-

:]

I didn't think it was possible, but he actually looks even cuter all clean cut.

9, 10, & 11 months

Soo.. kinda been super busy, but now that the semester is over and Christmas has passed, get ready for the super catch up post---

9 months

We're zoo members. :] His first time to the zoo was in September. We went with Maria and her son Pedro(2) and later met up with Brandy and Aurora(9 months). He loved it!

Hanging out with Aurora by the fishies- his favorite animal.

Takin' a dip in the baby pool

10 months

For my birthday, the whole family(grandparents, friends, and an aunt) went to a corn maize just outside of Hondo. It was super fun and Cube enjoyed being ouside and even touching a goat.

Letting his hair blow in the wind

10 months to be continued....

Moving

Sorry everyone for the lack of posts lately. School started the same week as the previous post happened and we just got settled in our new home.

Oh! and he's 9 months now. Actually, nine months and three weeks. He's losing weight- which is normal and he's still on the right track. And as of this past Friday, he weighed 18 lbs. 11 0z. Doc said he's perfect. :]

Yes you read right at first, a new home. We now have our own little 3 bedroom 2 bath house! It's very exciting and Cube loves it too. Besides the fact that scorpions are known to hang out the neighborhood(we've seen one and then sprayed everywhere), mijo really enjoys crawling around with supervision.
This past weekend my mom even came into town to help with some unpacking.


Cube liked the days activities :]

And when we unpacked his highchair and he saw it for the first time... he already knew what time it was:

Nom Nom Nom...

Catch Up Finally

As most of you already know, Cube's Tio Sean, my brother, passed away August 23rd.

It was in his sleep and the cause is still unknown.

As for mijo, he didn't know what was going on. That morning I packed him and I up and we were in Killeen by noon. We spent the week there until the viewing in San Antonio. The only thing the baby went to was Saturday's funeral. He was fine and loved seeing the family and getting tons of attention. He was the little ball of light in the middle of everyone's dark moods.

He loved his Tio, and now it's everyone's job to make sure he always knows him.

RIP SEAN
