Picture Time…

angieLeave a comment

We took Mia to get her 3 month pictures taken today. My plan was just pictures of Mia since Diego has is own 3 month pictures. Of course, when Diego found out he wanted pictures too. :p

Well, it is only fair since we did not get 3 year portraits for him so now we have 3 1/2 year portraits of him.

We had to really work to get Mia to smile. Granted, it was 6:30 pm and we had to wake her up once we got there. Since we were late, the lady (Yolanda) told us we only had 10 minutes for the session. Mia had two clothing changes so I hoped we could do it quickly. So while Mia was getting her pictures take, I got Diego dressed since I had no time change him at home. The pictures came out so cute. I really do have cute kids which I don’t know how that is possible. 🙂 But I can’t wait to get the pictures.

Another First…

Diego went to the dentist for the first time today!

Eric and I went but only one of us could go into the room with him.  Diego chose his Papa to go with him.  This was a good thing too because Eric sat in the chair and Diego was sitting/leaning on him.  This would have been impossible with me. 😆

Eric went with him and I sat in the reception area.  I was able to see and hear them anyway so it was okay.

The good news:  NO cavities.   Also, it doesn’t look like there will be a space problem for his permanent teeth.

The bad news (sort of):  We have to start to really get him to drink from a cup and not a “sippy cup.”  The good thing is Diego like to drink from a cup but due to laziness and trying to avoid spillage, we haven’t really pushed it.

He had some build up so we went ahead with a teeth cleaning. He did really well. The one thing he did not like was the spit suction thingie. Once he was done, he got three stickers and the dentist goody bag (toothbrush, floss and toothpaste).

When he came out, he showed me his shiny white teeth and told him that I was so proud of him.  And I am.

New Milestone…

Diego has now learned how to zip up his sweaters. Woohoo! He would try once in a while but never got it. But today, he managed to zip up his sweater twice. I wonder if he has been practicing with my aunt. I’ll have to ask her tomorrow. Oh, when I gave him a high five and a woo hoo, he just said “It was nothing.” So modest! 😛

Apple Picking ’08…

We went to Apple Holler today. We got there at about 8:15. We had some breakfast from the buffet (yummy!) and then off to what we went there: apple picking!! Even though they have lots of different kinds of apples, the only one we picked was Honey Crisps. Oh, they are so sweet and crunchy.

Here is my annual picture of Diego and Eric:

Next year, there will probably a new little head peeking out of the wagon. 🙂

Oh and wanted to add that we got some caramel apples with mixed nuts and an apple pie. Yum, yum, yum!!!

Long Weekend…

We were off from Friday until Tuesday (well, Eric had Thursday off too but I’m not counting that. 😆 ).

The rundown on the weekend:

Thursday: After work, I went to a condo-warming party down the street. Stayed until 8 pm then went home. Eric came home at 1 am.

Friday: I got Eric up to go to Brookfield zoo. I wanted to be there at 9:30 am when they opened but alas, he was hung over and we made it a little past 10 am so it wasn’t too bad. We didn’t see much of the zoo but it was beautiful day to go. Diego wanted to see the monkeys so that is the first thing we did. We did the Sting-ray exhibit but Diego got bored plus he did not want to get wet but I was able to touch one. Kinda hard to bend over with the belly in the way. 🙂 We took a break to eat our snacks. Diego saw the playground so we hung out there for a while. We then went to see the Dolphin show. We decided we were done. But on the way out, Diego saw the Merry Go Round and wanted to get on. So he did with Eric. THEN we finally left the zoo.

My SIL’s shower was on Saturday so we needed to get a gift. We went to BRU for a shower gift. Then went to the mall and bought Diego new bedding at Pottery Barn kids.

Saturday: After months and months of wanting to get my hair cut, I finally got my hair cut. Then we went to the baby shower.

Sunday: We went out for breakfast at a new place, Meli Cafe. It was yummy! I had the Honey Cakes, Diego had the waffles and Eric had the Rocky Mountain skillet. Next time, Eric wants to try the crepes and I will have to try the french toast. Too bad they don’t have a children’s menu considering that a lot of kids were there.

Later that afternoon, we went to a block party right across the park. That was fun. Diego played with his friends and we ate and ate. 😛

Monday: We went to Milwaukee for the afternoon. Hung out with Eddie and Maggie. We also met Amy, Ana’s little girl. She was born 10-12 weeks premature. But she is doing really well and she now weighs 4 pounds considering she weighed 2 pounds at birth. All she needs to do before going home is learning how to eat on her own. I am sure she will be able to do it soon.

Tuesday: We wanted to go apple picking today but the apples we want are not ready. So we postponed the trip a couple of weeks. Instead, we finally went to see Wall-E. Diego really liked it and so did we. It is such a brilliant movie, I can’t wait for it on DVD. Afterwards, we went to eat some dinner, then hit the playground and then home.

So now, I am back at work. 😛

3 Year Stats…

angie1 Comment

Diego went to the doctor today. He did really good. He didn’t need any shots, not until next year. He had his blood pressure taken for the first time. It was like 90/55 or something like that. His weight is 32 1/2 lbs (60-70%) and he is 40″ tall (90%). He did get a finger prick to check his iron levels. His iron is a bit low but she recommended Flintstone vitamins with iron and cereal fortified with iron.

So his next visit is in one year and he will have to go back to get a flu shot later this year. He is growing quite well. =)

Happy 3rd Birthday…

To my little man, Diego, who at 12:54 am made his grand appearance in this world. I can’t believe how three years have gone by so quickly. I will never forget the “angel kisses” on your nose and the spit bubbles that had formed on your lips when I first saw you. The way you looked at us wondering who the heck we were. It has been an interesting ride and it’s a ride I don’t want to get off. I hope this day will be a good one for you.

Hugs and Kisses, Mama

Interesting…

When I found out I was pregnant, we would ask Diego what he wanted to have: a baby brother or a baby sister? He would always respond baby sister. Now, he has started to refer to the baby as “she” never “he.” Interesting, no?

I guess we will have to wait roughly 17 weeks 4 days to see if he is right. 🙂

Just for the record, we are not wishing for one or the other at all. I don’t even have a hunch as to what I am having. Just an interesting observation.

To The Movies…

We decided to take Diego to see Kung Fu Panda. His second movie at the theater. He did really well. Only problem was he kept asking (loud) questions during the movie. I also noticed that he would lose interest in the movie when Po (the panda hero) wasn’t on. Once he showed up, Diego was happy as a clam. He did request to go to the bathroom once which Eric took him but he didn’t go.

The movie was funny. There was a sequence with Po and his master which dealt with dumplings and chopsticks. Hilarious!!

Over all, he did well and will take him to the movies again.
