In a way I regret not documenting extensively every new tooth, every step and every word but the fact that I was there and I remember it is all that matters.
Little man aka stinky, gordo, and nene is now 13 months old. He has 6 (going on 7) teeth, walks, had his first, second & third haircuts, says a few words, thinks he has mastered eating utensils and rolls his eyes. He has been sick, has fallen, and has cried but he has also grown, learned, and smiled. He loves to laugh, cuddle and give big kisses. He's not big on sharing but we are working on that lol.
We celebrated his 1st birthday with a Spongebob themed party. I wish someone would have told me that throwing a party for a one-year old would be more stressful than planning an event for work.
Oh and yeah birthday boy being sick on party day, definitely possible. It is super difficult to host a party and make sure nothing gets destroyed with a baby attached to your hip lol. But celebrating your baby's first year and looking forward to the years ahead is worth every minute of it.
I am so grateful to God for having blessed me with such a wonderful baby even when he is throwing a fit and giving me attitude. Yes people 1 year olds have attitudes lol. And if that eye-rolling attitude is any indication of how they are going to be when they are older I suggest you put your patience on reserve.
As a fairly new mom there are many things I wish I would have known and so many things I have learned. My one piece of advice is just enjoy it all, and dont get mad. Embrace your childs curiosity. Remember every thing is new to them. Dont panic, kids fall just pick them up make sure they are ok and let them keep learning. Its hard, trust me I know, be there for them and they will walk around like they can conquer the world. But relax they will always come back to Mama :)

extremely over due
So its been over 5 months since I last posted and seeing as how I have some free time and instead of resting like I should be because I'm super sick, I'm going to update you on Little Man.
In the past 5 months Nene has learned to turn over, crawl, stand, blow kisses, say mama and dada and a whole bunch of other things that I can't understand but he definitely know what he's saying lol... and a full list of other things I can't think of right now. He now weighs 18 pounds, is 29 inches long, has 2 teeth and a full head of hair.
He's been in day care since august and he loves it and I love his day care and they love him so its working out pretty well.
He is just THE most amazing baby EVER -- something I'm pretty sure many moms say about their baby lol-- and I love everything about him.. the smiling, hugging, kissing, cuddling, playing, tantrums, attitude, messes, bath time, I love it all.
He's growing sooooooo fast and sometimes it's sad because I feel like I miss so much. But every time he does something new I'm overwhelmed with happiness and pride and love... even if that means eating a cookie he found on the floor, singing along to "que linda manita", dancing to absolutely any song, or taking out all the dvds from the dvd stand -- and i mean ALL the dvds lol.
You know babies are amazing. The power they have to just brighten your day no matter how much SH*T your going through is just.. out of this world. They give you a real reason to keep going, to stay sane, to want to be able to provide everything they need and want. They make you love your life and realize that at the end of the day.. its all about them.. lol. And most of us wouldn't have it any other way. Although I'm not going to lie a good night's sleep is truly missed lol.
This little boy, this tiny, fragile, silly little boy has made me realize that I can do anything. Without having to rely on anyone else. I'm thankful for that. Not saying that there aren't some amazing people in our lives who we are grateful for.
And now unfortunately I must go because if I don't take some kind of nap I will pass out right here on this desk. I'll try to be back before another 5 months fly by. :)
