Dinner at Coruña Kyoto

Since Enzo was born, five months ago, we've only gone out to dinner twice. Life changes radically when you have a baby and a simply thing like get out of the house for dinner has become into an event that you need to plan ahead. Luckily for us, my mother is the most charming grandmother in the world and she has offered for our little baby to  sleep at her home one night from time to time. This is a breath of fresh air for us so that we can enjoy dinner with friends and a drink and perhaps, the best, a night of uninterrupted sleep late into the morning ...

We really wanted to try the new sushi place in A Coruña. It's called Coruña Kyoto, and this is their website if you want to take a look. We are big fans of Japanese food. But let me tell you that in my humble opinion this is the best sushi in town and I think the best I have ever tasted.

The place is nice in terms of decor, lots of wood, very cozy. Similar to Soho´s sushi joints in NYC. The staff was great, very friendly and the best was the food. Very good wine list. So totally recommended. Of course we will repeat as soon as we can.

It was a great night with our friends Vero & Suso. We always enjoyed their company a lot. They are a great couple, so in love ... we greatly appreciate them.

At no point in the night my baby out of my mind but I thoroughly enjoyed and I loaded of energy and good vibes. Life is beautiful, let's live it!

FIVE MONTHS OLD

As always late... HAPPY FIVE MONTHS MY LITTLE BABY!

This has been a very good month, maybe the best since I became a mom. I don't know what's exactly the cause but everything is better since a few weeks.The love we feel for our baby is infinite and now I feel that I would be able to do anything for the happiness of my baby. There are many sacrifices that we make for him every day but the reward is so great ... hard to put into words ...

This Month:

- He eats breakfast and dinner porridge with spoon.

- He has started eating fruit.

- Practically no longer regurgitate, which is a blessing.

- We left the night feedings but have returned to it because Enzo sleeps better with a bottle of milk at midnight.

- We have improved on the night sleeping, well ... now he only wakes up two times during the night. You could say that is an improvement?

- Enzo spends all the day laughing. He has the most beautiful smile ever.

- When he isn't laughing, most probably is that he's crying.

- Every day he's more entertaining with their toys. (Approximately 10 minutes)

- He's able to sit alone.

- He wants to touch and grab everything with his hands. And it all ends up in his mouth.

- He has been suffering pain from the teething but so far none has come.

- He lives completely in love with his dad, always with his little eyes looking at him.

He is for us the most perfect creature of the universe.

Enzo and us not sleeping!

Lately I am having problems to post. This situation doesn't make me happy but being a mom is proving to be a really tired job. Besides a couple of weeks I finished my maternity leave and I had to return to work so I'm still in the process of adaptation to the new situation. I will not lie, it isn't easy, let alone when you have a baby who sleeps really bad. But that's life, motherhood ... nobody said it was easy, no one lied.

But despite all the difficults there can't be nothing in life so rewarding. Every touch, every smile of my baby gives me the energy I need to overcome a stressful day ...

I 'll try to adapt as soon as possible to the new situation and find the time to stop by here, it' s a promise I make to myself!

Happy week!

Fun-time before bath

Just a short stop to show some pictures of fun with daddy before bath-time. Enzo loves flying like Superman. Did you see his face? This smile has stolen my heart!

We move forward...

Almost since Enzo was born he has had a important problem of regurgitation. He vomits constantly, throughout the day. This can be very frustrating. Postbath-barfing and drool while getting him dressed can be very frustrating... all day, every day ... during these four months. It's nothing serious, but I'm beginning to get tired of seeing my poor baby always with his bib. Our pediatrician says that will heal over time. But this sounds so far away...

It may help that he starts to eat pap because being thicker than milk is harder to vomit ... so there we are: trying to get our four month old learn to eat with a spoon.

I can not say it's the easiest thing in the world but somehow is turning out better than I expected. Gradually he's understanding that when mom puts the spoon in his mouth and swallowing food is a whole new experience ...  and if he ever gets lost I always can can use his pacifier ... so our dinners are being a combination of something like spoon - pacifier - spoon - pacifier ... a success!
