Portrait of my son

Well I've been MIA for a while now (once again) We took a family trip to California and I stayed behind to spend more time with my family. It's been fun and I'm loving the fact that Lucas is spending so much time with everyone. He absolutely loves the attention (mmm I wonder where he got it from lol) Here are some fun things my little one is doing:

1. Says mama, papa & agua
2. Loves to give big bear hugs & watch out ladies he might get a bit frisky and put his hands on your shirt! :-/  The funny thing is he will look at you and give you a little smile & it just melts your heart hahaha! TRAVIESO!
3. He walks, runs, loves to climb stairs
4. Has 8 teeth
5. Has a love/hate relationship with naps
6. Not a big TV lover but loves Peppa Pig
7. Loves to read and flip the pages
8. He does the "viejita" face and it is hilarious
9. He will climb A N Y T H I N G!
10. He does this "karate/matrix" move where he lifts his hands and takes little steps, cracks me up every time! Hopefully I can take a video.
11. Loves to bite, yikes!

Overall he is a wonderful, loving, unique baby boy! We love you Lucas!

Can't wait to share the rest of the pics of our California trip <3

Engagement

May 23, 2004 is the date we officially became boyfriend & girlfriend. It was such a special and wonderful moment for us. We met about 3 years prior at an assembly of the Jehovah's Witnesses. He approached me and asked for my number but I gave him my email. I never made things easy for a guy! I heard from him about three months after and he told me that he never had an email address so he had to go to the library and figure out how to send an email. My email address has two zeros in it and he thought it was two O's instead. Poor guy! He really made an effort, I have to give him that much. We lost contact after a while but eventually started talking and to be honest what caught my attention was his amazing sense of humor. We were chatting and, to this day, I can remember our conversation because he had me laughing so much! I can honestly say (& some of our friends can vouch for us) we had a rocky relationship at times. We would break up and get back together often and I blame our immaturity for that. After outgrowing that stage I noticed how much our relationship had grown after 7 years of dating we tied the knot. It has been a beautiful journey ever since. I love Daniel very much and I thank God everyday for having him in my life. Not only is he a wonderful husband but also a great friend, support system, hard worker and I'm sure he will be an amazing father.

Babymoon-Week 34

We had our babymoon this past weekend and we decided to stay local. We love going to San Diego because it's so relaxing and beautiful--we stayed at the San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina. The hotel was amazing and because it's been so warm in SoCal we spent most of our time indoors (enjoying the lovely AC) .

Here's my 34 week update: "Baby Butternut Squash"

• He weights in at about 4.2-5.8 lbs 
• Measures 17.2-18.7 inches
• He recognizes and reacts to simple songs--so I better start singing to him

Symptoms: I run out of air & I get extremely exhausted

Queasy/Sick: None

Best Moments: Feeling Lucas moves, the lovely shower I got at work (I'll post pics later on) and the doctor told me that I do not have gestational diabetes.

Belly Button: Innie/Outie

Weight Gain: 27 lbs. I've only gained 1 lb since my last visit to the doctor

Movements: Tons of them & he loves to kick my ribs!

Cravings: Cranberries

Ring: I can still wear it

Stretch Marks: Minor ones by my belly button but the Bio Oil has really helped minimize the scars

Miss Anything: Sleeping!!

Are you showing: Yes I am

As you can tell by my facial expression the water was EXTREMELY cold but very refreshing.

Our Honeymoon

It’s been a year and almost 7 months since we got married and I never got around posting our honeymoon pictures. Let me start by saying that I am one lazy person when it comes to vacationing. I love doing absolutely nothing and I much rather sit by the beach or pool, tan, eat, sleep & enjoy my time off. I’m fortunate enough to have married someone who is just as lazy as I am when it comes to going on vacation. When we started planning our honeymoon we decided to go to Cancun, MX. We have a serious obsession with visiting different beaches around the world (preferably clear, warm, beautiful ones). We stayed at the Gran Melia. Our stay was for a week and it was a relaxing experience. The food was delicious, the beach was so clear & warm, the pool area was incredible and I’m happy to say that all we did was eat, relax, sleep, eat some more, sleep, eat..did I mention eat?! The only extra activity we did was snorkeling and at the end of the day we were exhausted lol! But we can’t wait to continue our mini adventures as a couple and now as a family of 2.5 as we like to refer to ourselves.
