Fun entertainment

Just a few snippets of Nícolas doing some fun things...

Uncle Rubén taught Nícolas this dance this past Christmas. We finally caught him on video in April and he still remembers the dance very well!!

Practicing his singing skills for American Idol!

A daily dose of cardio is Nícolas's secret for staying in such good shape!

And a little horse riding at the end of the day...

It's Baseball Season!!

We went to the opener season game at the Round Rock Express. We got seats on the grass and Nicolas enjoyed running around everywhere!! With a little toddler, it's hard to keep up with the game. i had to keep an eye on him the entire time, so I'm not sure who were playing or even the score. It was fun though!! You can see more photos here.

Our little star!!

Nícolas and I always go to the park for an enjoyable walk and to feed the birds. Several months ago, a local musician that always plays at the park was putting together a baby video and took a few seconds of footage of Nícolas. He would not stay still, of course...but enough for a few seconds. The video is up and wanted to share it with you!

You can see him at 0:50 into the video. Very cute!!

Masterpiece

Somehow Nícolas got a hold of a pencil and decided to show his artistic abilities on the wall!! We got him next to his masterpiece and he happily posed! "Cheese!!"

Big Boy Bed

We decided to go ahead and get Nícolas acquainted with his new toddler bed. He loves it, but only to play in it! He puts his friends there for night night, just not him! We want him to at least get used to it. It's a start!

Hail Storm in Austin!

On Wed. March 25th, we had a pretty heavy storm and had lots of golf ball sized hail pouring down! My new car was spared since we put it in our garage before it started raining, but Chris's car got some dents.

You can see the pretty view of our neighbor's house

Chris is holding a few samples of the hail. Some as big as a tennis size were reported in our area.

We borrowed a couple of Nícolas's toys and made a little "hailman" art.

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 :-)
