We are trying to save money on certain things and today we started this useful task...
I could not believe it but Adrian let me cut his hair. At first I was afraid because I did not want to mess up his hair but as I got the hang of the machine I continue with more confidence. When I was done I gave Adrian a mirror and he really liked it.

We have decorated our walls...
When my brother-in-law came a few months ago he showed us some wall decals he wanted to get for Felipe... We loved the one that he wanted so he ordered it. We got it a couple of months ago but we are saving it for later when Felipe can appreciate it more.After that Adrian made it his goal to find something to put on the walls of our hallway. He finally found something and it was perfect for Felipe...
For Felipe's birthday my mom and Osmart told me that they wanted to give him those wall decals as a gift... Luckily we found them at a cheaper price at Walmart and they ordered it... The only bad part was the waiting for them to be delivered but last night my mom brought it to us and we put it up...Let's hope that Felipe finds it entertaining.

I might start to lose weight...
Today my grandmother had to take care of Felipe for a little while because Adrian had to go see his grandfather in the hospital (He is ok they are just running some tests). When Adrian got back home to pick Felipe up, my grandmother told him that apparently the baby had walked across the playpen without holding on...
AHHHHHHHH... He starting to walk...
I guess that is a good way to lose weight... Chasing a 1 year old around the house.

Taking his first steps in our yard
Lately all Felipe wants to do is be on the ground and trying to walk. Any day now he will just want to let go and walk on his own... Adrian loves to take him to our backyard and have him walk on the grass from the home to the end of the yard and back. Many might not be aware how large our yard is but to those that have seen it... It is a LOOOOONG walk, especially for a 1 year old.
Here is a video so you can see him in action.

Tropical Storm Fey
Today was a LOOONNNGGG RAIINNNY day. We spent the day sitting at home with all the shutters closed... It wasn't really necessary but we closed them because they are doing construction on the house next to ours and we didn't want any flying debris to hit our windows.
The only bad part about closing our shutters is that in the process I caught my finger in one of them and it was a BLOODY situation. My finger is OK but Adrian had to patch it up so it wouldn't get infected. Hopefully it won't require stitches.
Felipe dealt well with all the rain and wind. He behaved especially well when we had to go outside to close the shutters... We left him in his play-pen and he was just chilling in there playing with his toys. I think he didn't even notice we were gone until we came back in drenched from the rainstorm we got caught in.
Hopefully this will be a slow hurricane season because I hate having to deal with all this rain, wind and closing of the shutters.

Today we had a night out
Today we decided to have a night out alone so we left Felipe with my mom. We went to see The Dark Knight and then got some dinner.
It was nice to get away for a few hours but to be honest we kept on think about Felipe the whole time especially during dinner because they were singing Happy Birthday to someone in the restaurant. Felipe loves to clap his hands whenever he hears that song.
When we got to my mom's house to pick him up my mom was feeding him dinner. Since we had to wait we asked them how it had gone and my grandmother told me the funniest story.
Apparently my mom was giving Felipe some little stars and my grandmother grabbed one to see what they tasted like. Felipe did not appreciate this and started to complain to my mom. My grandmother says he started to pout and point at her mouth. She says it was the funniest thing because he kept on trying to open her mouth with his fingers to try to retrieve the little star. Eventhough my grandmother made believe that she had put it back he kept on insisting that she open her mouth so he can get it back.
My boy is very SMART and that is not just a proud mother speaking.

Felipe got to meet his aunt and uncle from Spain
Little by little Felipe is meeting all this family members. Today he met Tia Pilar and Tio Santiago.
It will probably be a while before we see them again because they live in Spain. Whenever they come to the US they go straight to Denver to visit their son. We were fortunate enough to see them this time because they were coming from Quito and their flight had a 4 hour layover in Miami. We took advantage of this and picked them up, had lunch and then took them back to the airport.
Eventhough it was a short visit they got to enjoy each other.

National Breastfeeding Week
National Breastfeeding week is August 1 - 7, 2008
I have been privileged to be able to breastfeed my baby for the past year. I know many mothers who wish to breastfeed their babies but have not been able to do so.
There are many benefits to breastfeeding. Statistics show that breastfed babies are healthy and have less chance of getting allergies when they are older.
Breastfeeding is also beneficial for the mother. Breastfeeding lowers the risk of breast and ovarian cancers, and possibly the risk of hip fractures and osteoporosis after menopause.
Eventhough many people have mixed opinions about breastfeeding, I think it just shows that the mothers who have this opportunity care enough to provide that child with a healthy life.

Felipe is growing up TOO FAST
Yesterday we finally installed the convertible car seat in Adrian's car...Felipe loves being in this new seat because now he gets to look out the window and see everything.
The funny thing about the whole transition is that when we first put him in he was actually asleep so he didn't realize that he was being put into a new seat. This morning when I put him in at first he was confused because he didn't know what was happening but soon he was smiling and enjoying his new accomodations.
