the devil (el diablito) on my shoulder
October: Picture of the Month
OH, Yeah! We are those parents! Dressed Monks up as a little devil and went to the mall to show him off. What else is there to do with a baby who can’t really walk or say trick or treat? It was cuteness overload. Continue reading the devil (el diablito) on my shoulder
Multitasking
September: Picture of the Month
It was a month of many accomplishments; standing, turning pages, your first fever, yelling, singing, throwing a fit…
All signs that you are healthy and growing. A a mom could not be more proud.

Lots and lots of labor

Having A laugh
April: Picture of the Month
Sure, I give you life and you start laughing for Daddy. Not sure this is fair, but I guess I will learn to live with it. It’s not a competition, I guess. He does have a magical way of cracking us up.
All I’m saying is…first word better be “mommy”.
