Summer's Finally Here!!!

Hello All! I know it's been a while, but things have been busy closing out the school year before summer vacation. I am officially a "stay at home mom" until mid August. Yeah!!!!



Well....here's the latest and greatest!! Our "weekend getaway" last month was wonderful, once the tears were out of my system. It felt a little weird not to have our little guy around us (a lot like your right arm was missing or something), but we took advantage of catching up on much needed sleep, dining and lounging poolside. Jovany had lot's of fun with the "abuelitos", I don't think he noticed that we were gone a whole 24 hours.



My first Mother's Day was very nice. I decided early that morning that I was going to do NOTHING that day, but that only lasted to about lunchtime....... we all know that MEN cannot function without their wives, at least mine can't. LOL! I did feel really appreciated that day though and I'm glad it's another special day to look forward to.

Jovany has been going through major changes lately. He recently began crawling. It's a cross between an army crawl from the front angle and a butt in the air/on your knees from the back angle. Whatever his "stilo" is, he's getting around pretty good and he's quick. So, that called for a little "baby proofing" of the house, especially after he discovered the outlets while cruising around in his walker.



On Saturday we finally did it. We moved the crib into his room and he's doing remarkably well. We can't say the same for us, but every night gets a little better for us.

Jovany has no teeth yet, but that hasn't stopped the menu from expanding. He recently tried "arepas" for the first time and loved them. This kid will eat anything you put in front of him. Some of his favorites are chicken, squash, frijoles, broccoli, mango, peaches and loves strawberries! He wants nothing to do with store bought jars. Last week at the beach, he refused to eat Gerber 3. He spit the food out and made a face at us like "what is this crap your giving me". I guess we've got him use to fresh/homemade baby food that tastes good. I don't know what we are going to do when we go to AZ/NV next month for Jimmy's graduation.



We finally brought Jovy for his first haircut today. He sat in his taxi car and watched Baby Einstein for the first time. We didn't do a drastic hairdo, we just wanted it to be cleaned up. Here are some pictures with the Fl cousins.



Happy Father's Day!!!!! Until next time.
