What a DAY!

At 2:06amRamiro arrived. He came to join Peter for a mini-road trip/soccer game in Houston...and to visit NICO!

At 10:05am My mom left to Miami...before I started driving away from the airport, I started missing her. I'm so happy she came to spend time with us and watch Nico grow in the past 3 weeks. I love Austin, but it breaks my heart that our families can't be here to see everything, all the changes, all the milestones, all the funny faces. I try and capture as much as I can but it's not the same in person! My mom helped me sooo much. Not only with dinners and watching Nico for me while I got some extra teaching hours in, but just sitting with me at 3am when Nico wouldn't fall asleep or bringing me water and/or a mid-night snack while feeding. She would think of everything! She would even bathe and feed Nico in the evenings when Peter and I wanted to hang out in the pool or play a little volleyball. I MISS YOU MOMMY, It's going to be Just me and Nico tonight.

At 12:30pmI realized that Nico's 2 bottom teeth had cut through the surface. He has been fussing a lot more the last couple nights...except for last night (10pm-5:30am!) Hopefully in the next couple days they will start showing more!!

At 7pm Nico and I were in the pool and he starting babbling...saying DA DA DA DA DA DA. I didn't have a camera but Peter's parents were watching on Skype. They also got to see him swimming! Daddy wasn't there to hear it :(. My little pumpkin head is growing up!!

AND Today, 8 months ago, at Town Lake, peter and I said our I DOs...at our civil wedding. Some people say that the first year of marriage is difficult. Other's say that the first year of having a new baby is the hardest....and here we are in the midst of both, I think we are doing pretty good! Every night I close my eyes and thank God for my family! I sometimes wonder if there is a catch to all this. Why am I so fortunate?

That's my summary for today!
