Happy 2009! Baby boy Vazquez had a rocking New Years. That is to say - as delinquent parents we made Carlito come out for New Years. He passed out for awhile as things got boring and then awoke promptly at 11:58pm to celebrate 2009. He was especially psyched to watch the ball drop on a 50" TV and to see Anderson Cooper in HD. Here's a shot of him enjoying some champagne.
He's been eating cereal more and finds it really funny. He starts giggling when I give it to him until he gets the hiccups and no more mush fits in. He still doesn't quite know how to get it off the spoon and not all over his face, but he is definitely better at it than a week ago.
This week we had our first visitors to house II and responses varied between 'wow - good job' and 'wow -it's still a construction zone.' It's true - it looks much better but it definitely still is a construction zone. We have been unpacking kitchen boxes - in my fruitless search for my coffee maker and corkscrew (NO COFFEE OR WINE!!) and realized that the stove top that Carlos got doesn't actually work with any of our pots. awesome. I tried to use my tea kettle and got a "Failed" sign. I can't even make tea. It turns out that the induction stove top only works with certain types of metal and we don't happen to have those types of metal pots....
Tomorrow is another big inspection. We had to put up railings but don't have the right material so we have 2x4s all over the staircases. It looks very post-modern.
Sometimes I look at "old" baby pictures to see how much he has changed. Here is a "then" (week 1) and "now" (month 5)
