Fathers Day

IMG_9497


Fathers Day was great. T said she was gonna let me sleep in, so come 6am when AK pushed me and said "i want yogurt" i told him, "go tell your mother, im still sleeping", which im sure confused him as that was a first.

we had breakfast at the house and then went for a walk around the neighborhood park,

later, joe, paul mona and anita dropped by to say hi on thier way back to d town.

earlier that week gina, my dad and my grandma stopped in to see baby m and gina dropped off some flowers. Her fathers day card said,


"these flowers are for baby m. tell her to get used to it, pretty girls always get flowers"

Week 3

Three weeks

IMG_9478





Baby is 3 weeks old. things are good. we are loving the faboulous meals that people are bringing by and feel blessed. Do you know what a care calendar is? neither did i until this pregnancy. Basically people sign up on a day and bring you food. I have never seen this thing but i know it exists. a freind of ours put it together and emailed it to those that expressed interest in bringing food by.

We cant wait to return he favor and are getting tons of great ideas for meals.

ak and i are staying busy we try to stay out of the house as much as we can.

ak likes waterplay. we do it alot. did you know that suncreen is now available in a spraycan, you just spray it on like paint.

i bought ak these swim slippers from target. I bought him the girls version because the boys version is impossible for him to put them on. the girls however is easy. He can do it himself.




i gave ak a haircut. this was the first time he let me use the clippers, but then i ran out of battery, so then i charged it and did it again, but he ran out of patience so he has a mohawk of sorts, im gonna try to shave it off, not sure if hell let me, he told me after the last session, "i dont like haircuts" so its not looking too good.

waiting out the storm

Baby's umbilical cord stump came off yesterday and so you know what that means....
TUMMY TIME!

T related an interesting piece of info...

We only do tummy time because of SIDS. Infants sleep on thier backs now and because of this we need the TT. Before, they didnt have to do tummy time b/c they did it everytime they woke up!

This baby is strong. strong neck. stronger than AK was. Don't tell him i told you that.

One Week Old

DSC_0001


AK marked baby m's one week birthday today with some cake from Tia Gina. Gina prepared a wonderful italian dish made up of stuff i cant pronounce along with a big brother cake for AK. Chocolate. his favorite. You will also notice the contribution from my father in this picture. thats frozen turkey in that glad bag. from thanksgiving? new years? i dunno. We picked lettuce from our garden to make a salad. bueno!

ak likes to call out his favorites. its really cute when he does. He has his fave parks, foods, and music.

DSC_0017

we have been using the cake to get him to eat dinner recently. he has become quite picky and I have had about enough of it and tried the whole, eat this or nothing! but then he wakes me up at 5 in the morning saying he's hungry!!! arg! so now i give him food he likes even though it seems weird. so Yogurt dinners are not uncommon in the household.

so we put a candle in the last piece of cake and sang happy birthday to baby m.

when ak's grandparents brought him to the hospital to see baby m for the first time they took him to the gift shop to get a gift for his baby sister as per t's suggestion. and all on his own, AK picked a PINK hairbrush and comb set! before even seeing the baby! or knowing the sex!
