End of July...well, almost

The last days of July were full of activities...as usual...And there are still 2 days left! Today and tomorrow there are FREE concerts in the Marina and in Playa Vista that we are going to try to go to as we enjoy the last couple days of Abuelita's visit!

We got a visit from Al:

He was in town for a couple days training with some other BIG SHOTS before heading out to Argentina to play for the Dominican National Team and see if they qualify for the Olympics.

Nico was very helpful getting PAPA out the door. He put his carry-on on his cart and rolled it all the way down the hallway!

We were all going to go together but Nico and I weren't able to make it out there. But we miss you BABY MOMMA FRIENDS! Hopefully we'll see you before our kiddos go to college...lol.

We hung out with Lorena:

Other things this week:

From Blackberry Camera

Nico started Brushing his teeth--by himself with his electric toothbrush!!! He FAKE-read a book to abuelito on Skype; He said "THE END" when we got to the last page of Goodnight Moon ; He told papa "nigh nigh"(night night) and "Buh-bye" when we were leaving; He said "mago" for Mango when we were eating lunch yesterday.

From Blackberry Camera

He is like a SPONGE...imitating everything---all the sounds, all the faces, all the signs---EVERYTHING. Our pumpkin head his growing up so fast! Nico's been able to see him through SKYPE, but that still hasn't stopped him from saying PAPA all week and pointing at him in all the pictures around the apartment. Even Peter noticed a difference when he saw him on skype 2 days after leaving. He asked if he had GROWN...and he probably has. The week seemed to go by really slow though...probably cause Papa is out of town. Fortunately, last night (for the first time all week) he slept ALL NIGHT! Maybe now Mama can get some rest....lol.

Hope you have a nice weekend!!!
