11 months old

I cannot believe that Luis is 11 months old already, how on earth did the time fly by so quickly?! I miss my baby while I'm at work, but we have so much fun playing in the afternoons.

I really need to get on the party planning, but I'm so tired from getting back to work that all I want to do is relax once I get home. Guess I'll be spending all day tomorrow making invitations.

He was showing off his walking skills today at the triplets soccer game and clapping along with everyone else. He loves to either play with Claire or his Teppah during the boys' game, he sure does love his family.

Blowing Kisses

In case I haven't mentioned it before, I LOVE MY BABY! Yesterday afternoon we were playing and he kept waving bye to me before walking away pushing his walker. I decide to start blowing him kisses and he immediately started blowing them back!

His kisses have this soundtrack: "mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....bye,bye,bye,bye" He doesn't understand yet that you have to move your hand away from your mouth for the kiss to actually be blown, but it only makes it cuter!

Insane Weekend

Luis and I just had the craziest weekend ever! We attended 4 birthday parties on Saturday, three for kids and one adult party. I then had a baby shower on Sunday which took another 5 hour chunk out of my day.

I'm so glad we were able to see so many people but this is what our crazy schedule looked like on Saturday:

11:00 a.m. - Sophie's 1st birthday party
2:00 p.m. - Leave Sophie's party and drive to Highlands Ranch for the next party/nap for Luis in the car
3:00 p.m. - Lander's 2nd birthday party
5:00 p.m. - head to Ava's 2nd birhtday party in Parker/short nap for Luis
5:30 p.m. - Ava's party
7:45 p.m. - head to Jason's party in Westminster (55 miles from Meredith's in Parker!!!!!!!)
8:30 p.m. - Arrive at Jason's party
10:00 p.m. - Finally get Luis to fall asleep at Jason and Kara's party (I drifted off too for a bit, I was pooped)
11:30 p.m. - Leave Jason and Kara's to head home (FINALLY)
12:00 a.m. - Arrive home after being out and about for 13 hours
8:30 a.m. Sunday - We finally all wake up

The baby shower yesterday we very nice and had great food. It was nice to have a ladies afternoon because even though I love my guys I totally need a little time away nwo and then.

We are not doing anything this weekend, I need a chance to veg out and get stuff done around the house.

Back to work

Well, sadly I had to go back to work this week. I have what seems to be a great job and I'm excited for the options, I will be a supervisor of 20-30 work at home customer service agents. So although I am in the office, it's nice to not have to see any of my employees face-to-face. :O)

I miss Luis terribly so far, but I know that he could probably care less...if he has even noticed yet :O) I'm working crazy early hours also so that is going to take some getting used to, all in the effort to make sure Luis has health insurance while me still getting to spend some time with him.

He's walking

I figured it would happen soon enough, but Luis is really walking now. It is only 6 or 7 steps at a time, but technically that is walking. When he is done he claps for himself and then complains until I set him up to do it again.

I have a video of it, so I'll need to post again with his first foray into walking.

In the meantime here are some pictures from my birthday weekend, we had a great time. Oscar and I went to Melting Pot then the following weekend we had a dinner for Aunt Lanie, my party and the Rockies game on Sunday...it was a busy week!!

He is such a boy.

I swear it is like the "boyness" is in his DNA some days! Today he was being his usual daring self with resulted in one momma rescue to avoid crashing on the pavement and then a fall from the 2nd step onto tile. He is upset for a minute or two usually but then he just gets right back to being crazy.

I finally invested in baby gates today because my heart can't handle the trauma of near misses ten times per day!! I also had to get some cabinet locks so he stays out of the dish soap. :O)

We went to a play date today with my moms group and he man-handled a little girl while trying to use her to stand up, I know it was on accident but I still felt like the neglectful mom who wasn't watching her kid...oh well, this is only the first of many time I'll feel bad for how my kid acts!

Good intentions...

When I set up this blog page I had good intentions to start blogging frequenty about our family and most especially Luis, but between taking care of a teething boy and family visiting it just hasn't happened that way.

Luis is working on his 3rd and 4th teeth right now and its been a long, slow, painful process. He is a crawling machine and loves to stand at the bottom of the stairs and wave bye-bye to me.

While we had family in town we went to Estes and the Rockies game (just to name a few things) and here are some picture from those days.

Luis and I got his Halloween costume the other day and I couldn't wait for him to try it on. He was surprisingly patient and didn't get mad until after an hour or so when he started trying to pull it off. I can't wait to take him out trick-or-treating.
