At Last

Sorry for the hiatus there....Baby and I got sick and then we had visitor after visitor culminating in 8 family members descending on 1st st for the inauguration. It was a lot of fun - at least for us. Unfortunately for them, they had to sleep on air mattresses scattered around the house including in the basement. My brother took one look at the place and decided he need to do another round of mopping before he let his 1 year old daughter loose on the floor. And my cousin refused to shower here scared by the fact that we had no shower curtains! Other than that it was great. We had the official Housewarming Ball on Monday - tickets were very hard to come by and attire was better than Jason Wu's dress - and the next morning we dragged ourselves out at 7am to brave the crowds.

In the last few weeks baby Carlito has been eating a lot of real food. He seems to like the savory - carrots & peas more than the sweet apples and pears. The good news is that he is taking to eating just fine (not a big surprise given his chunkiness). The bad news is that I changed his first real food poo and it wasn't fun.

Tomorrow I leave for my first overnight work trip away from him! I'm going to miss him so much and Carlos is so nervous about taking care of him. I think the baby is the only one who won't mind it.

Here is a recent interview with the baby:
