Sunday lunch with friends

After such a long winter finally it seems that we're seeing some sunshine. And I don't want you think I'm a person who's exaggerating, I'm simply a new mother with sometimes has a crybaby who has had to spend almost his first six months locked in an apartment...but winter has passed and spring seemed to have knock at our doors, so now it's time to enjoy are walks at the park etc...

And what better idea to enjoy a Sunday -lunch with friends at one of our favorite -yet most humble and cosy- places, Chiringuito Los Pinares. I really wanted that Enzo could join us. We had a great time here during my pregnancy and I know when he will be a little older this place will be one of his favorites too. I can't wait to see him runnig on the sand of the beach and playing football with his daddy...

It was a wonderful day. Sun, delicious food, good company ... I'll always remember, life is beautiful.

SIX MONTHS OLD

HAPPY SIX MONTHS MY LITTLE BABY!!!

 

If last month I thought that this had been our best month until now, this month has been even better. Every day at your side is better than the last. You teach me so many things ... the most important of all, the endless ability to love every part of you. You're half a year old. I still can't believe it. As time has gone by so fast? It seemed like a few days ago, you're sleeping sweetly on my lap and now you just want to stand and jump and laugh every minute, every day. My baby, I love you so much. I can´t stop looking at you. You've grown so much ...

 

This month:

- Enzo's interest natural fruit is pretty limited. Instead he's a real lover of pharmacy's fruit porridge.

 

- He has started eating bread. (that great discovery)

 

- The problem of regurgitation continues to improve. It's almost is solved.

 

- We continue with our milk-bottle at midnight.

 

- On the night-sleeping subject... we have improved, regressed, improved back and  regressed again so I'm not sure what I ´m supposed or can say about this ... only that the first uninterrupted night's sleep is yet to come.

 

- In addition we have improved a lot on the subject of naps: increasingly regularly and long naps. That's my boy!

 

- Enzo is pure joy. His day consists of laughter, laughter and more laughter. He´s a sweetheart. His character has improved a lot.

 

- Now it´s possible to spend almost a whole day without hear him mourn. This really has been a big change. Suddenly he ceased to mourn. And our life has changed dramatically since then.

 

- He has gone from "hating" your stroller to like it and enjoying the rides within. I think the key has been an increasingly more vertical position.

 

- He pays attention to all things and all people. He spends all day pointing and saying "oooooh" with his toothless little mouth.

 

- Enzo has discovered that he loves to sing. (he´s so funny)

 

- Unfortunately the teething continues giving us problems. He suffers a lot of pain.

 

As I said last month, he´s for us the most perfect little creature in the universe.

 

First contact with art

When you have a child it´s inevitable to imagine his future life and how you would like it to be for him.

I often imagine their profession, his way of life, his dreams, his motivation ... I just want him to be happy. That he finds a way to enjoy everything he does. But if I could choose something of his future life I would love him to be a person interested in art, music ... culture in all its expressions. A person with their feet on the ground, with interest in what happens in the world but that also a person that never stops dreaming ...

 

I believe that, although in the future only he, will decide how to live his life, I certainly hope that our education will provide him of eagerness, and always a positive attitude towards life. I hope that we will be a good guidance.

 

So my purpose is to try to convey my little boy, part of what I love in the world. Give him the opportunity to learn, discover, enjoy ... and finally he will decide.

These photos are from a couple weeks ago during a visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art in A Coruña. Enzo saw his first Picasso. It was a special moment. When he grows older he´d sure like to see these images. We had lots of fun! And we even had a chance to do a diaper change surrounded by brushes. I'm very proud of my little artist ... di you see how he liked to grab that brush?

Spring is finally here

Finally spring has come to the city and believe me that everything looks much more beautiful with good sunshine!

 

These pictures are from last Saturday when we enjoyed good weather to stroll by the sea ... that pleasant feeling the salty sea breeze in your face ... I've never been so eager for this summer. We also had time for a coffee with some special friends and her precious baby.

Relaxed time. 

Enjoying life.

"First-time-innocence"

I think it's typical of motherhood, at least at first, the fact you want to immortalize with pictures each new experience of your baby. It´s exciting to discover the world through their little eyes and to be able to look back to see all the things with a “first-time-innocence”.

Sometimes when I think about this I feel that it's a huge responsibility that his first experiences of my baby in the world will be through what I would be able to show him... to convey him ...

Well, while it may seem silly I'm excited to see these pictures of the first time of my little boy at the playground. His first time on a swing. It's a very tender picture for me.
