I can Scoot

Matias received many cool scooting toys for his b-day. He has made the decision to forgo walking and scoot everywhere. Lucky for him his scooter has tunes like " Do you know the muffin man" and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"

Scoot on little man...scoot on...

Other Mom Blogs of Note

I know that the vast majority of people who read this blog are non parents but these blogs have caught my eye. I never knew that I would like blogs so much! I always thought that they were not for me. Too much writing and too many links to remember ect...But as it turns out I get to glimpse into the everyday lives of strangers. (I enjoy being nosy about people I have not idea who they are!) But more importantly I see that the struggles of being a parent no matter who you are universal.


I found Rookie Moms along time ago. I recently discovered their Pumping Project. So hilarious to read stories from working Mom's. I never really figured it all out but next time I sure I will do better.

Superhero Journal is a jewelery designer mom who's son was born about the same time as Matias. She writes beautiful notes about motherhood and her struggles.

Suburban Bliss makes me laugh.

Two artsy mom's that rock are Mommy Doodles and Artsy Crafty Babe.

Minor Set back

See this list. see all the wonderful things I have to do over my long weekend.

See how mopping up water out of the basement is not one...

OK back to work mopping up water out of the basement that is not on the list. (FYI:Check your hoses on your washers.)

Curve Balls-Changes in direction

We have had a lot of curve balls lately.

One being the weather. After non existence winters for the past five years I have become so wimpy! Today it was like -2 on my care thermometer and I was freezing. Thanks to my mukluks my toes can stay warm but this has recall thrown a hamper in my Resolution to walk more this year.

Our basement is almost done. Luis is installing the floor and I am so happy! He took off the day from work yesterday to get some things done. After we move down there I am little nervous leaving the little guy by himself. My mom suggested coming up with an action plan to keep him in the room in case he escapes from the room...escapes.... Do babies escape from things? Wow they are so smart those little creatures.

We have so much work to do on the house and we are still living on boxes, so I am excited to get some storage solutions. I decided this summer I am going to learn more about woodworking. I would like to build a sidebar for our front room. I am going to work on designs and plans tonight.
I recently read about this mom who makes furniture out her garage. To me that is some real! girl power. My dad will be at our house tonight so he can help me figure out what I want to do.

On a different note...
I am planning on knitting Matias a Valentines Day Sweater. I am going to Michael's tonight to get the pattern. Which will be helpful in establish one other resolution to work on projects out of my craft books.
This is what I am thinking white and a detachable heart.

I will keep you updated but I think he going to get all the ladies...

Why you should have a coke with dinner

So I had a coke with dinner. I also had a great day at work. When Matias and I arrived home (we ate out with buds) I clean the kitchen with vinegar. (What?) Wow I even surprised my self with all of my cleaning. Maybe it is because my mom is coming over the weekend and I want to challenge myself. If she does not have to clean anything while she is here... I might have succeeded :) Mom if you are reading this I know you will clean something...don't worry it is who ou are and we love you for it :) Well I am finally at a computer with our picture so I will post some of those as well...

This is a dashing picture of Matias from his Christmas photo shoot. This is pre-illness. He looks so cute in the rocker. ( Which I have a picture of me in this same chair about the same age!) And was so excited for his time in front of the camera. We learned yesterday at ECFE that Matias is a listener...his learning style that is. Because all he has been doing lately is talking talking talking! It is exciting because I swear! I heard him switch from Spanish to English today. Even if it was just baby talk! It is utterly crazy how fast humans grow learn and change. It is cool that we go from being so dependent to so independent!

This is sadly the only picture I have of Matias on him first birthday. Ok so he is really not drinking the Mt. Dew. But it is so funny that he is pretending to. We were watching Rudolph the Red nose Reindeer and it was also a good day of fun!
