The Big 18.....months!!

Yup!! I'm such a big boy now :-) I celebrated with a baseball cupcake and one and a half candles. The cupcake was yummy! You can see more pics on our March Gallery.

Here's a little update about me so far: I love running around FAST!!, riding with my trucks, playing baseball with Daddy, kicking the ball with Mami, reading in English and Spanish, going to the park and feeding the birds, and playing with my friends. I am learning to go up and down the stairs on my feet with my parents' help and starting to learn a bit about potty training.
My favorite shows are "Mouse" (for Mickey Mouse), "Manny" (for Handy Manny), and the movie "Cars."

My vocabulary is growing! I know a little over 60 words now!! Some of my new ones are: cheese, broccoli, banana, cookie, apple, cello, tractor, potty, turtle. My counting is still work in progress, but so far I can say "two(2), three(3), five(5), eight(8), nine(9), diez(10)." I also know the sounds of various animals like the duck, kitty, dinosaur, tiger, lion, chick, sheep, cow, dog, rooster, turkey and elephant.

Here's a videoclip of me enjoying my cupcake! Daddy was making funny faces behind camera :-)

A Great Great Visit!!



Nícolas had the wonderful opportunity to meet his Great-Great Uncle Dan, PaPa's brother, and Aunt Evelyn. They are taking on quite a long and fun journey from Prescott, AZ all the way to FL and meeting friends and family along the way. We were lucky they were able to stay with us for a little while. They are really amazing!
They've been married for over 60 years, taken trips all over the world, including Venezuela in its good days, love telling stories and playing games!! We had a nice meal at our favorite steakhouse, had some reading time with Nícolas, had a little taste of venezuelan food, and even played Mexican train.
