"Pudding Painting"

2009-03-31T20:19:00.003-05:00

Victoria's teacher sent me some pictures of the day they did "pudding painting". I would call it more like "pudding eating/pudding everywhere". So glad she took her clothes off for this fun experience! There wasn't any "artwork", which I'm glad as I think we would have ants all over the house!

Yum!

The artist very into her work

No more pictures of the artist please!

Me? I promise I haven't even tried it!

Muac!

New weight, new car seat!

2009-03-30T12:35:00.000-05:00

So we went to the doctor for a follow-up and Victoria is now 19 lb 13 1/2 oz...2 1/2 oz from the 20 lb needed to ride forward, but who can wait! We did it! (She is too long anyway to ride on her old carseat) She liked it in my car but had issues when going to school with daddy...maybe she doesn't like the one in his car...who knows! Here are some pictures of this big transition! (I think we are much more excited than she is!)

Sad after her shot! (By the way, she now doesn't like the doctors office, I think she remembers her last visit when she got shots. She cried and cried, and cried...which is just the way I was when I was little...do I hear PAYBACK!)

First ride facing forward!

On the way home from school...facing forward again! (Yes, I'm sure we are much more excited than she is!)

An old memory of her riding rear-facing. (We were still in the parking lot so she os not buckled in - sorry I am too picky about car safety, and yes I turned her around before 20#...I'm I contradicting myself?)

Mi little girl...you are one

2009-03-17T21:36:00.002-05:00

Time has flown by! I can not believe it has been over a year since you arrived, since you made life so much better for your daddy and me! You have become our life, our happiness, our everything!

Thank you for your smiles, which you share ALL THE TIME! Thank you for calling us "mama" and "papi". Thank you for being so sweet and lovable. Thank you for giving meaning to our lives. Thank you for being you!

You are talking so much - papi or puppy (not sure, maybe both!), baby/bebe, mama, dada, ball, up, oh oh, Oko/Ko (which means Okki - your puppy), ma/ma (which is mas is Spanish - for more) and many other things that I will soon learn to understand!

You are such a smiler and a flirt - people better smile at you or you will stare and smile until they do!

You love your daddy - you get so excited when you see him...and he does too when he sees you!

You love books - better than any toy I can ever give you!

You sleep so good - 2 naps (at least at home, at school maybe not all the time!) and 13-14 hours at night (Thank you for that!)

You make me want to be the best mommy in the world! I love you!

Victoria's Ladybug party!

2009-02-28T21:28:00.001-06:00

What a better theme for our little lady than a ladybug party! We had a great time and so did she! No tears, lots of friends and more cake!

I went on a black and red/ladybug craze!

With mommy and daddy before it all started!

I'm in heaven! Birthdays rock!

Mommy you are going to be sorry you picked red icing!

Victoria turns 1!!!

2009-02-27T21:09:00.001-06:00

I turned one! It was a very special day...Abu and Abuelo came in town for my birthday and so did uncle JP, aunt Liz and my cousins Anthony and Jack! We had such a good time and I git to have cake! If you haven't had it...you should!

Happy Birthday to you...

Yummy!!!

With mommy and daddy...hurry, I'm still eating!

Month by month

2009-02-27T13:04:00.000-06:00

Happy girls...

Serious girls...

Daddy and Peanut matching

2009-02-03T20:35:00.004-06:00

Daddy dresses Victoria on the days I work to take her to school. I leave the outfits ready for him (to help him out a little). I usually pick her up, but today I was running late and daddy did. When I got home, what a surprise...daddy and peanut were wearing pink shirts and jeans...HOW CUTE! He says it wasn't on purpose, that he was already dressed when he dressed her and that he didn't even notice, but I don't believe him, do you?

I think they look adorable.

How many calories are in this you are feeding me?

Don't care... I'm hungry!

The countdown has begun!

2009-02-02T12:07:00.003-06:00

I can't believe that our little girl is turning one! (I even got fancy and changed the background:) Where has time gone? I am excited, nervous, anxious, sad...all in one! It is a huge milestone and we are looking forward to much more fun with her! 25 days until her cake-eating day (we hope she eats cake, I know I will!)

Super Bowl

2009-02-01T20:31:00.002-06:00

So I didn't really care about the Super Bowl but it was the perfect day to wear a Cowboy's cheerleader outfit (which was not worn all season!). When we got to the party, Teagan (Taylor Made Messages), a fellow friend was wearing the long sleeve version...of course my camera wasn't charged and I didn't get a picture of both of them, but trust me when I say, THEY LOOKED ADORABLE!!! (You better e-mail it Taylor)

What do you mean the Cowboys are not playing?

Tagged by Jeff, Beth and Joe!

2009-02-01T11:07:00.000-06:00

This is the day Victoria turned 9 months! We were getting ready for the monthly picture and were looking for the perfect outfit! Not sure who I was on the phone with but this was the 4th picture on the 4th folder! (By the way, look...she has no bow!)

1. Go to your 4th folder where you store your photos.
2. Select the 4th photo (no exceptions).
3. Post the picture with an explanation and link it back to your tagger.
4. Tag 4 people to do the same.

I tag...Taylor, Amy, Gigi and Desiree

Having lots of fun!

2009-01-31T20:51:00.000-06:00

Our little girl is growing up, faster than we can imagine! She is full of fun and smiles. She is everywhere and wants everything she is not supposed to have. She loves her food, big girl food! Now that she is 11 months old, she...

1 - Sleeps 13 + hours at night
2 - Says and waves bye, bye (but never when you ask her too!)
3 - Plays peekaboo and says boo! while doing it (my favorite)
4 - Still loves her paci (more than ever)...trying to keep it to bedtime only but hard when she has a cold and it teething big time!
5 - Loves to read books and take them all out of her baskets
6 - Empty any box/container/basket she finds
7 - Wants to pull to a stand ALL THE TIME!
8 - Hates her car seat and at times her stroller too!
9 - Is a daddy's girl...such a smart little one
10 - Will not stay still for diaper changes
11 - Has 2 teeth and one more coming in

With Elli at the park. Enjoying a sunny day in January!

With Okki, who she loves to "pet" (aka - pull hair)

Yep! Getting things out means all the grocery bags out of the kitchen drawer

My playhouse

2009-01-01T20:46:00.000-06:00

I got a playhouse for Christmas from Lolly and Grandad and I love it! It has lots of windows a doorbell, a picnic table attached to it, a stove and lots of extras! I see many hours of fun and mommy is happy for that!

I'm in here...

Hello, can I help you?

Merry Christmas!

2008-12-25T21:38:00.000-06:00

Christmas Day was even more fun! I went to church and opened presents all day long!

Having lunch and Lolly and Grandad's with my cousin Alex. Don't we look cute with our matching outfits?

Alex showing me how to work the presents...

I'm a quick learner!

Christmas Eve

2008-12-24T20:31:00.000-06:00

The expectation of my first Christmas was so much fun!!! I went to Uncle Greg and Aunt Britton's house for some pre-Christmas love...

With daddy and grandad

Loving time with mommy and daddy

In such a good mood...I took a long nap on the way here...

2008-12-20T20:43:00.000-06:00

Victoria has become a book lover. Anytime she sees a book, well, she wants it! She loves opening them, closing them, looking at the pages, turning the pages, openning them, closing them...you get the idea! I hope this is something that lasts a lifetime!

Can't decide which one to read!

Did I get enough out?

Victoria meets Santa

2008-12-01T21:49:00.001-06:00

Today we went to meet Santa. I thought Victoria was going to be afraid but they got along very well :) Santa told her what a good girl she had been and mommy agreed! She thought for a second to cry but the photo crew did a good job at keeping her entertained. Here is our little girl on Santa's lap for the first time!

Updates

2008-11-29T22:57:00.001-06:00

Okay, it has been almost 4 months since I updated the blog...I know, too long! I have been in front of the computer for 4 hours now but I have uploaded all the pictures that were on my camera (more than 1200!!!!). I blogged on some of the best moments of those so take your time and go back thru the posts since August and have fun! Love, Maria-Paula (while Victoria sleeps)

9 months old on Thanksgiving day!!!

2008-11-27T22:47:00.000-06:00

2008-11-16T22:45:00.000-06:00

I got my ears pierced...mommy has been trying to convince daddy to do it for the past 6 months but this time he brought it up...so mommy couldn't waste the opportunity! I didn't cry much, i was like my shots, once mommy held me I was fine...

2008-08-14T19:38:00.000-05:00

We went to Port A with our friends Price and Taylor and their 2 little girls Presley and Teagan. We had so much fun for 5 looong days...the drive was long especially when you have little ones in the car but it was so worth it, very relaxing!

With my new best friend...PRESLEY!!!

- ride "forward" on the Baby Bjorn
- play in the exersaucer and jumperoo

Victoria's first visit to the Aquarium!

2008-07-19T20:35:00.000-05:00

While Maria Gloria and Cesitar where in town we decided to go to the aquarium. Thank goodness for A/C (and BabyBjorn) since it was 105 degrees!!! Victoria had a blast...she was so interested in the fish. I guess she feels like home (Chris has a tank)!

Victoria wowed by the fish!!!

Victoria and Daddy resting

Maria-Gloria and Cesitar looking at Nemo!

Daddy...can we have one of these?

Park + Summer = Hot Fun!

2008-07-13T22:00:00.000-05:00

In the past, I had gone for short walks in the park, but never to have so much fun like I did! It was so hot but mommy and daddy made sure I was ok.

Swinging with mommy! Faster, please!!!

Love the slide! Tia Gloria and Cesitar do too!

Resting a little, but just a little...

Love mami's kisses!

Can we go play?

Do you like the hat?

Now, I'm ready to go home (and take a bath)!

Visit from Ecuador!

2008-07-12T21:44:00.000-05:00

I had 2 wonderful visitors from Ecuador...Tia Gloria and Cesitar! I had met Tia Gloria when I was 1 month old but I really wanted to meet her son. I had so much fun with them. Tia Gloria took a lot (I mean a lot!) of pictures of me (I loved it!) with her big camera. Cesitar was so sweet to me, he played with me and taught me some mroe words in Spanish. Can't wait for them to come back!

Meeting Cesitar for the first time...he is so funny!

Tia Gloria and Cesitar

One of the pics Tia Gloria took...

My little friends!

2008-07-11T22:27:00.000-05:00

In this short time I have had, I have made lots of friends! I don't have pictures with all of them, but here are some I do have.

Cesitar...my Ecuadorian friend. He came to vist me and we had a blast! Did I tell you how much he loves Power Rangers?

This is my new friend Parker, he lives in Arkansa.

This is my big cousin Sam - he is always making funny faces and making me smile.

This is Kendall, we recently "partied" together at a wedding. She is so much fun!

This is Amelia. Her mommy is Colleen - who works with my mommy. She is just 5 days older than me! Don't we look cute in pink?

These are Joe and Sohaan. Their mommies (Beth and Zarana) also work with my mommy. They are such boys!

This is Ellie (short for Elliana) - her mommy (Robyn) went to school with my mommy. We go to Baby Boot Camp together!

These are Presley and Teagan. They are sisters. Their mommy Taylor takes really good pictures - she also went to school with mommy.

Here are the twins...I have a hard time figuring them out - I always think I am seeing double! Their names are Collin and Brendan. Their parents are my godparents - Amy and Mike. AMy went to school with my mommy and they also used to work together.

This is Alex, my cousin. She always smiles really big. I like going to her house. She lets me borrow her bed for my naps. I know we are going to be really good friends.

Sand, sun and bikinis!

2008-07-06T13:08:00.000-05:00

I love the beach! It was so relaxing. Mommy made sure I had plenty of sunblock and daddy got me a huge tent to give me shade. I want to do it again! Come on daddy, let's go!

Wearing the bikini uncle Juan Pablo and Aunt Liz gave me! Not so sure daddy was happy :)

Tired of sun bathing...time for a nap!

With my sunglasses and hat...how cool!

Daddy holding me tight while walking on the beach

Mommy letting me get a little wet...I love the water!

By the end, mommy took my bathing suit off because I was wet... I loved playing with the sand. Daddy said it was the last time I would be "topless" at the beach!

Rice cereal...yummy!

2008-07-05T09:42:00.000-05:00

While on vacation for the 4th of July, mommy and daddy decided to give me a great treat! RICE CEREAL...if you haven't tried this stuff, you should, it is yummy!

Taking my first taste...why didn't I have this before!

More please...

My first 4th of July!

2008-07-04T14:34:00.000-05:00

We went to the beach, the Texas beach (Crystal Beach) for the fourth of July! It was a long drive but I did good on the way there. I have some more pictures from that weekend...I'll show you!

Happy Independence Day!

Mommy and me

Daddy and me

She can now:
- roll over from her belly to her back
- hold her head up longer when doing tummy time
- sleep 9-10 hours at night (yes, it stopped for a while)
- laugh out loud
- giggle
- put everything in her mouth
- hold toys with her hands (and put them in her mouth)

Pool Party!

2008-06-16T19:00:00.000-05:00

This summer just started and it is already 100 degress in Texas! We decided to have a pool party, we don't have a pool...so we bought one and Elli brought hers! We had so much fun!

The big kids (Presley, Brendan and Collin)

The little kids (Victoria, Elli and Teagan)

Victoria

Teagan

Brendan...the ladies man!

Thanks mommy for finally letting me get in the water!

Can I not wear my bow in the pool?

Happy Father's Day Daddy!!!

2008-06-15T18:00:00.000-05:00

Have I told you why my daddy is the best? He makes me smile. He dresses me in the morning and takes me to "school" (aka - daycare). He takes care of me after "school" until mommy gets home. He has pictures of me on his phone. He feeds me when mommy is at work. He loves me. He is MY daddy!

Did I forget to say how handsome he is?

We also spent the day with Grandad. He makes me smile too! I miss Abuelo!

I was showing them all my tricks!

Ahwww...resting in Lolli's arms.

Presley's 2nd Birthday!

2008-06-13T23:00:00.000-05:00

Little Presley turned 2! She had a wonderful birthday party at a spray park. She is such a beautiful and sweet girl, inside and out. We love you Presley!

Victoria wishing Presley a Happy Birthday!

Victoria in her bathing suit and cover-up. She was hoping to get in the water but that meant mommy had to get wet too...so, no water this time!

Her friends Brendan and Collin were there too! See mom, the water is fun.

With mommy and daddy...how fun!

Abu's orchids

2008-06-08T14:35:00.000-05:00

Abu game mommy her three orchids (Thanks Beth! - we had a little Spanish-English confusion with the spelling - it has been fixed now!) for her to care for. You should know mommy doesn't have a green thumb at all! She has to write in her calendar "water plants" so she doesn't forget. She is so proud to keep these alive! Look Abu...they are beautiful just like you are!

My new friend Parker

2008-06-07T17:30:00.000-05:00

I have a new friend! His name is Parker. His daddy is Jimmy and his mommy is Tammi- my daddy's friends from college. They live in Arkansa. When they were in town, they came by to see me. Parker is so sweet! (He is now in "My Little Friends" List)

Flirting with Parker...don't know what to do with all these cute boys around!

Do they have that shirt in my size?

The proud daddies!

Daddy's softball team

2008-06-01T20:15:00.000-05:00

Daddy started to play softball with his friends on Sunday afternoons. He is my favorite player...I am his number one fan, mommy is his second! I like to go see him play.

Daddy on second base waiting to run!

Daddy coming back from the outfield...he is the best left outfielder ever!

Daddy warming up before his turn to bat.

Daddy geting ready for that home run...well, not quite - but he promised me one!

I am 3 months old!

2008-05-27T22:42:00.000-05:00

Now that I am 3 months old I can do many things:
- sleep 8-11 hours at night...in my own bed!
-try to roll over
-put my hands in my mouth
-smile at people
-laugh out loud
-hold links with my hands

Today, it got a little late and I was too tired to take pictures! I wanted to go to bed! Mommy took some anyway.

Starting to fuss...mommy always trying to make it better.

Here I am trying to roll over! This is hard!

The wedding

2008-05-25T22:25:00.000-05:00

The trip to Santa Fe was for Hilary's wedding - one of mommy's friends. She looked so pretty!

Hilary tired of pictures... pretty bride!

Hilary and Sean, what a pretty couple!

Mommy was a bridesmaid, I was watching with daddy.

Mommy and Hilary...big smiles!

I wore a pretty dress that Veronica gave me. By the way, since mommy was busy with the girls, daddy got me all dressed up, bow and all!

I met a new friend. This is Kendall, her mommy is Megan, mommy's friend. I added her picture to "My little friends" posting.

Tired of partying...

My first trip!

2008-05-24T22:08:00.000-05:00

How much fun! I got to be on an airplane for the first time. Mommy had a wedding in Santa Fe. I was so good...I slep most of the time and didn't cry! Mommy and daddy on the pther hand...what a mess! They took me to the airport so late we missed our flight and ended up going later. I told them it was okay, next time they'll do better.

Can I have my boarding pass, please?

Relaxing with daddy before take off.

Touring around with the folks.

With MY daddy!

Mommy, smile for the picture!

My first day of daycare!

2008-05-21T21:46:00.000-05:00

Mommy and daddy found a great place for me to spend part of my day at while mommy works. I go on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays when mommy works. For the summer it is only from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm so daddy takes me and picks me up. Then he takes care of me until mommy comes home. He does a great job! Here are pictures from today... my first day.

Mommy went a little later to work...she really wanted to drop me off.

With daddy getting ready to go!

When they left, I didn't cry...I wanted mommy to know I was happy!

Saturday...lazy Saturday!

I decided to stay home today. I was tired from last night! Here is what my day consisted of.

I played with mommy on her bed. She sings me a lot.

(She also talks a lot!)

I can now hold certain things, not sure what they are for, but I hold on tight!

Tired of playing...I take a long nap!

Wow, what time is it? Did I miss something?

Mooom! Can you stop? I'm trying to relax!

Out to dinner!

2008-05-17T19:12:00.000-05:00

Last night mommy and daddy took me out with Ellie and her parents for a nice dinner. Of course, before we went mommy had to take pictures!

Here I am, ready for a night in the town!

Mommy and I all dressed up!

Mommy... you said we were going...I'm hungry!

I think it's going to be a while...since I can put my hands in my mouth now, I'm going to chew on that !

Finally there! Here we are with Ellie and her mommy Robyn.

Play date

2008-05-17T18:49:00.000-05:00

This past week I was invited to my friend Joe's (one of my boyfriends...daddy doesn't know) house for a playdate. Sohaan and Amelia were also there! We had a good time, well the boys played more than the girls as they can crawl and actually know what toys are for. We watched them (and took naps)... can't wait to grow and be able to have that kind of fun!

I wanted to wear something cute and told my mommy to try a flower rather than a bow... What do you think?

This is Beth, she is Joe's mom. She made a yummy lunch for the mommies! She is really sweet!

Here is Joe showing off how many toys he can play with...all at once! He is such a big boy ;)

The boys playing rough...boy things!

At the end it was picture time but I was so tired I decided to go for a nap instead.

Look how much fun I have!

2008-05-12T19:01:00.000-05:00

I figured I would update you and post a little bit of what we have done up to now. From now on I will do my best to blog and post more regularly.

Chris says this should be from Victoria's perspective... we'll try it out.

Here I am with my cousin Alex.

Don't we look adorable with our matching outfits?

Here we are with Lolly- double trouble!

Mother's Day was on my mommy's birthday this year...or should I say, mommy's birthday was on Mother's Day? Either way, it was too good to be true! Here we are... doesn't she look happy to be a mom! :)

Tennis anyone?

I love this outfit - I look like a real strawberry!

Okay, mommy seems to take pictures of every cute outfit she makes me wear....
Here I am making some funny faces so she can have cute pics.

This is my ducky outfit!

Quack, quack?

Are you done yet?

Hahaha ... no teeth yet!

I got all dressed up for my two month picture... look how I am growing!

Every month my mommy sits me on my rocker for pictures.

I got baptized on 4/26/08. I was so good! Didn't cry a bit. Here I am with my godparents Amy and Mike. They are so good to me!

Here I am with my grandparents...Grandad, Lolly, Abu and Abuelo.

I made them very proud.

What's up? This is my first trip to the horse races.

Should I say lucky charm?

My mommy and daddy look very happy.

I was on my way to my first wedding! I had a blast!

Good morning mommy!

I had a playdate with Joe - well my mommy went shopping with his mommy Beth - they call it playdates - see how much fun we had?

Say cheese!

Wow! There is a mobile on my swing! Cool!

Bedtime anyone?

My daddy gave me my first bottle when I was around 7 weeks. It took me several tries - the nipple was too slow and I tried for 30 minutes! Didn't get a drop...but I was good...mommy changed it and I finished it all up.

This is with my outfit that Auntie Beth made for me. Can you read what it says?

Does this diaper make my butt look big?

Here I am wearing the outfit Tia Gloria gave me.

This one is from Tia Ana Maria.

Sleeping with an outfit from Tia Mabi.

See how I grow!
