The best shots of Magglio are usually taken when he’s in his high chair. I think because he’s contained and he can’t crawl away!
And he stands up and watches Chula on the porch. I’m sure he’s thinking, “Let me out! I want to get dirty!”
And by far, his favorite past time is to remove all [...]

My mother – we call her Oma, which means ‘grandma’ in German - came to visit for Halloween. Magglio was a frog. His frog hat didn’t stay on for very long, but I was able to snap a few pictures…
….and then he took it off…..
….I tried to put it back on…..
and tried again….
…and it finally worked!
All in all, Magglio [...]

On Sunday, Magglio and I attended a birthday party for his friend Mia. Mia turned 1 year old. Mia’s mom, Michelle, is a good friend of mine who I met here in Miami. There are a group of us who hang out quite a bit. They are the same moms who come over for playdates and who [...]

Magglio has SIX teeth now – his top two came in about a week ago. Six teeth! My apologies for not posting lately, but last week was super stressful (more about that below).
Magglio had his 9 month appointment on Sept 14th. He’s in the 50th percentile for weight but in the 90th percentile for height! He’s grown over [...]

*Crib is slang for “home”.
On Friday I hosted a playdate at our apartment. Four babies, four mamas. LOTS and LOTS of fun!
The only thing more fun than hanging out with Magglio is watching Magglio hang out with three other babies. He’d make a great big brother…(not yet, everybody, calm down.)
And of course once mommy started [...]

When I eat a peach, I give Magglio a few bites to nibble on. Today, however, he wanted the whole peach to himself. I placed it on his highchair tray and he wouldn’t let it go. He sucked and gnawed on the darn thing until it was reduced to pulp. It was like his [...]

So today we went to a baby “Sign, Sing and Play” class. The class is supposed to teach children basic sign language so they can effectively communicate before they can speak clearly. Basics are eat, drink, more, all done, milk, sleep … you get the idea.
There were 4 other moms with their babies, and all [...]

********** News flash: I cut my hair! **********
It needed to be done. It’s not really smart to have hair down to your waist in 90 degrees weather.
Right after my $15 cut (thanks Gigi at The Hair Cuttery!) I snapped these pictures, and all I can say is - I look like a mom! (which is a good thing.)
Now all I need [...]

Can someone please tell me where the past 8 months have gone? It seems like just yesterday I was holding a teeny tiny baby, and now I’ve got this big cutie pie who crawls and coos and laughs.
I’ll admit – I’m loving every minute of it!
Recently, we’ve introduced some small table foods. This one in [...]

Our newest toy addition:
We bought this colorful playmat because I’m paranoid about dirt. The floor is such a high traffic area, and who knows what kind of bacteria is lingering on our hardwood floors. In addition, as Magglio learns how to crawl, pull himself up and eventually walk, he’ll need more cushion to avoid some [...]
