Mowing the Grass

I told Mateo to go mow the grass and here is his version... You gotta love that he's wearing his Christmas pajamas and his hair is out of control! By the way, it was 82 degrees today!

Guess Who's Walking?

So my little man has been walking holding onto our hands for months now. I just mentioned to my husband that I wondered if Mateo would be walking by his first birthday because he just seemed so uncomfortable walking without assistance. Well as if Mateo heard me say that...just this weekend he started to venture off around the house on his own. This video was taken tonight and I have a feeling he will be walking like a champ by April 4th! I guess I can kiss immobility goodbye!

What's Mateo Up To These Days?

Mateo loves stuffed animals and will give them hugs whenever they're near, but his favorite furry friend is his Mr. Bear rug.Mateo adores his cousin Joaquin and of course his Nana. She takes care of these little guys everyday! They paint, sing, play with nature, and take little naps together...remember those days? Another one of his favorite things to do right now is pull EVERYTHING out of drawers and cabinets! He does it with such concentration like he's doing a VERY important job! Now if I could only teach him how to put things BACK!

So here is Mateo in his play tent saying "dad" but I think we just got lucky!



Who knew a balloon could be so fun?

Diego's Birthday

We had our godson Diego's birthday at our house and the kids had a blast. My sister-in-law made clues for a pirate treasure hunt and here are some of the pics.

So here's the birthday boy Diego with his cousins and friends getting ready to look for the pirate treasure!

Here is one of the clues...

The pirates are searching feverishly for the next clue...

Finally the pinata!

The fierce candy grabbing!

This is Ariana, the ONLY female grandchild out of 8!

And this is me just observing the fun from afar!

Last, but not least is Mateo in his firehouse. He thought this was a perfectly good pirate hiding place!
