Baby Girl

Daddy’s Girl

That tweet was sent out yesterday morning. Why? Because it was too freaking cute to not be shared. It nearly melted my heart to hear her say it with such conviction. She didn’t even think twice about it. Just plain and simple. “I like my daddy!” I immediately told my husband of course, who happened [...]

6 AM Conversations

Baby Girl

“Where are we going mami?” “Today’s a work day baby, so we have to get dressed so you can go to abuela’s house. Daddy has to go to work. Mommy too.” “Why?” “Why do we have to work? Well, so we can get money so we can buy food. And clothes.” “So you can take [...]

I needed it.

Baby Girl

I needed it. I needed to come home last night after a long day at work and just sit down. Sit down with my baby girl and share some applesauce. “With two spoons mom! So we can say cheers!” “Claro que sí, mama.” Of course. While we shared our applesauce, we listened to dance music. [...]

Visiting Family in Miami & Seaquarium Experience

Baby Girl

We went to Miami this past weekend to visit my husband’s family. Actually we were in the Ft. Lauderdale area and only hit Miami when we went to the Seaquarium. But, you get the idea. Baby girl had fun visiting with her uncle, grandma, and cousins. She acted up a little bit at times and [...]

A Baby No More: Happy Birthday!

Baby Girl

Oh my baby girl. Today is your birthday. You are 3 years old now! Three! You’ve come a long way from last year. No more tantrums and much more laughter. I spent most of yesterday contemplating you and realizing that you are indeed becoming a big girl and a baby no more. I miss you [...]
