Going for a walk with Dad and Chip

We bought this backpack a few weeks ago and today was the first day we used it. It seems really comfortable for Maya!
Here they are, taking Chip for a walk.

Lili's B-day

Today, our friends' baby turned 1! They invited us to her birthday party and we had a great time. They fixed yummy food and of course delicious cup cakes and ice cream. Thanks Heidi and Eddie, we had fun!

New Dining Table and Chairs

We are so excited! In less than a month we will be moving into our first house. We were thinking of buying a bigger dining table, because the one we have only sits four people. We wanted to have enough chairs for when family and friends come to visit. So we decided to buy a rustic dining set to go with our other stuff.
Here is a picture:

Ready to Eat!!!


I've started feeding her baby rice cereal and she loves it! The doctor recommended to feed her rice cereal twice a day to help her go longer without formula and it seems to work.

I ♥ Phillip!


Y por que cuando no estabas,
me sentia como el cielo sin estrellas?
No podia sentir los abrazos del viento.
No podia distiguir las sonrrisas de la luna.
El rocio de la mañana era como cualquier otro aroma.
Mis noches eran dias.
Mis dias eran noches.
Una hora era un siglo.
Un siglo sin ti no era vida.
La vida que no tenia,
ya no la queria.
Hasta que regresaste.
Todo regreso a su formidable color.
Podia sentir el calor del sol.
Y cada estrella en el espacio,
se acercaba cordialmente para desearme las buenas noches.
Y mis sueños a tu lado
se convirtieron en realidad al dia siguiente.

Y recuerdas los claveles que me regalaste?
Ellos sobrevivieron.
Tenian la esperanza de volver a verte.
Y yo.
Yo revivi.
Tu aliento cerca de mi boca
me regrezo el alma.
Y lo hizo para tomar mi mano,
y caminar juntos hasta el lugar mas lejano.

I wrote this for Phillip when we first started dating.
Our love was barely growing... now I feel deeply in love with him and I am so grateful to have him in my life. He has done so much for me! He is my best friend, a wonderful husband and an amazing dad.
I love you!


Ahualulco de Mdo, Jalisco, México


Martie and Wes went to visit my family in México and they took some really cute pictures of my grandparents and relatives. I wanted to share some of the pictures.

I was so tired of my hair that I finally decided to get a haircut! I was trying to let it grow, but it's so hard :S

(I look dorky in this picture, but Maya looks adorable so I had to post it.)

Maya was playing with this elephant and she fell asleep with it on her head :P

Maya's 4 month Dr.'s Visit


Okay, she is 4 months and 2 weeks and I haven't been able to post. Well, remember how I had written previously that she was 15 lbs. ? Well, I was wrong...she actually weights 17lbs and 4oz. Doctor Rafiq said it was okay but told me to start feeding her rice cereal and that would help her go longer without formula. Other than that, she is very healthy. We are so grateful she is a healthy baby!

No More Studying


Today, I had my last final!!! I feel really good about it, I'll find out how I did tomorrow :o Now, I can enjoy Phillip and Mayita. At times I felt like a bad mom, specially when I had to study all day before mid-terms. I would put Maya in her swing and I would just study. It was hard specially when she would get fussy. Phillip told me the other day, "you haven't cooked Mexican food lately," I felt badly because I know I just tried to cook the easiest meals. But today I am fixing some tacos and fideo, yummy!!!

Daddy Time

She is 4 months old















I can not believe how fast our baby is growing. Our friend's baby is turning 1 year old this month and she weighs 17 lbs. and Maya is 4 months and she weighs 15 lbs. Am I feeding her too much? :S














I hope not...she seems to be a healthy baby, but I guess we will find out next Monday when we take
her to the Doctor's.















Maya: "Can I give you a kiss?"
