Little L's Diary: Rolling Into Four Months

¡Hola! It’s me, Little L once again! I’m sure you’ve seen all of the fun stuff my mami and I have been up to in the past month — and talk about a long month, it seemed like it was never going to end.

I guess it’s because I’m not sleeping as much during the day anymore so I have to find things to keep me busy — like grabbing mami’s hair, pulling her necklaces, trying to sit up, rolling from my back to my tummy then back again (I’m even rolling OFF of my playmat!) and holding on tight to my toys. If you move them around they make noise and I like sounds. Phewww, this baby thing is exhausting — I can’t wait until I’m bigger, I hear it’s less tiring.

Hooray For Baby's First Summer!

So it’s not officially summer yet, but today was a milestone at the very busy casa. Today my sweet girl, Little L took her first official dip in the pool. She didn’t make sound, just waved her arms a bit and stared. I could see her looking at the water, watching the kids splash around and her little hands dug into the side of my arms.

The Mom Moment

Even though it’s been almost three weeks since my son was born, I think I was still in a bit of shock that yes, I’m now a mom. A large part of it has to do with the fact that our son was born five weeks early. And yet, even with his early arrival and how unprepared I felt at first, there was a moment when everything just clicked – the Mom Moment.

The Story of Beck's First Ice Cream Cone

I admit it, I’m snap happy. And with my somewhat recent adoption of an iPhone, the amount of Beck photos accumulated in a day is off the charts. I’m not apologizing for this fact, I’m simply stating it. He is my first child and it’s every parent’s right to take as many photos of their children as they want. The only problem I face now is organizing them in a meaningful way (physical scrapbooking is out of the question, there’s no way I have time for that). So I was happy to try out the newly released Disney Story app and see my series of consecutive shots of Beck devouring his first ice cream cone come to life. My favorite shot is him being disgusted by the temperature of his treat.
