Bah

Well it has been close to 20 days and no posting. But I think that I am ready to sit down and write a few things that have been happening in the casa de vega.

First off, I have been working like a mad woman only to come home take care of Matias and collapse in to fitful nights of sleeping. (OK it is not the dramatic) But I did do a week out at the base and guards is so emotionally tiring!

Matias is officially crawling!!!!

It is strange to go from him staying in one place playing with toys to...following him around so he does not get stuck pull down cords ect. So far he has managed to get stuck under the kitchen chairs, under his crib, under our bed. In the corner with all the stuff that he is not supposed to get....AS soon as you set him down he immediately goes to the first object that can kill him. I think that babies have radars like this:

Baby radar....what can kill me in the room, oh I will crawl over there and get it.

Luis has also been working a lot, we have seen other in passing so we are hoping to get some much deserved mommy and daddy time this week and go out dancing! I am looking forward to it.

Last night I went out with Sara and the wedding party to celebrate her last nights of freedom. Little did I know we would be riding in style in a limo :) It was a lot of fun to see everyone and hang out go to Duluth and feel young and free :) But we did go to a very chic martini bar "red star" very not Duluth and very fun! Stacey told me that we would be venturing to Chino Latino very soon for a blackberry mojito! Exciting!

Well this post is too long! But I feel like I have to put so much out into cyber world ttfn

Time

My friend Ellen says when you have a baby it is the fast forward button on your life. I could not agree more. Matias is now officially 8mo old. From the time that I had him until this moment right now is literally a blink of the eye. I think about when I first had him, how I was nervous and let others take the lead in his care taking, now I have confidence and take charge!

I never thought my life would end up here. Many people who know me know that I never wanted to have kids. Suddenly though that seems like the dumbest thought that I could have ever had. Until you are a parent you will never quite understand the love you have for a child and or one other person. So cliche

My second date with Luis we were talking about love, and he said to me. I think love is the same emotion just expressed in different ways. Parenting in my mind is the most outward expression of love that a person can show. As we move closer to the stages of walking, talking, playing, discipline, it is scary .....but exiting.

Then (1 hour old)



Now (Fake Camera Smile and all :))

Cool Viedo

To Swim that is the question!

I think Matias won the gene pool when it comes to swiming. I never realzed how much Luis and I enjoy swimming. But now that I see Matias face in the water, I know that he is a water bug. Last night was the 2nd to last swimming class and Luis and Abula Vega came to watch. It was very exciting for everyone!

End of an Era

I finished it....

Harry Potter is done after almost 7 nights of up til 2am! I won't give any details away however, I will say. Goodbye Harry!

I have been thinking about Matias when he gets older what will he like what won't he? So strange....I know him but I don't...how zen of me.

If anything I hope he loves to read!

I order some fabric for him for a bigger blanket so his feet our no longer are covered by his old one. i will have to work fast, to make it happen so he has a blanket to use if he keeps growing at this rate. He has been sleeping on his knees so much I think he is going to rocket away at any second.

Also a big big congrats to my husband, who pulled off his first catered party! If you need someone call us! He made flan that litteraly looked like a story book...too bad I hate flan :)
Now if only he could cook for his wife like that, life would be perfect. I presented him with his very own chef jacket :)

Google Reader a gift from the internet god

Ps Harry Potter tomorrow...peeing in my pants with excitement!

HP

If anyone knows me well, they know that I, like the rest of world loves Harry. By Harry I mean Harry Potter. For the last book the media circus that surrounds my beloved friend, is so out of control. I mean seriously....do we need to have a story in the paper everyday....Do we need to hear about the girl who got a Harry Potter tattoo before she went to see the movie on WCCO....
(By the way Luis said no to me getting a hp tattoo....)

Personally, it is hard for me because I feel like the books are so personal. As you sit and read them JK Rowling's ability to make you feel like one of the gang is unsurpassed. Maybe that is why I am mad about the media attention. I feel like I am fighting for the popularity of Harry. It is really sad when you think about it that i am jealous of the millions of other readers out there.

When Matias is older I sure hope that he will enjoy HP as much as I have. For some of us Harry met us as teenagers and followed us all the way through marriage and a baby! I may not be the ultimate fan but I am looking forward to midnight Fri. When I join a collection of different people from all over the world to find out Harry's fate. I am getting heart hurts thinking about it :)
