You had a busy day! You wore a pink piggy costume and was very cute, I was wearing a witch costume. First we went to mommy’s work, they were having a Halloween party there. Unfortunately the party was over fairly early and we just got to see a couple of people there. We walked around with nona to say hi to everybody and headed to mommy’s doctor’s appointment. You stayed in the car with your nona and was being a bit fussy, but you calmed down on the way to daddy’s work. They were also having trick-or-treating for all the kids and we introduced you to daddy’s co-workers. We didn’t stay long because you were quite tired from all the driving and different places, so we went home after that and you took a good nap. You didn’t see all the cute trick-or-treaters that stopped by, you’ll join them next year!

Gato came in your room today and you stared at him for a while, and smiled at him several times. Is this the beginning of a friendship?

We enjoyed the beautiful day (amazing 77F, sunny and blue sky) to go to the pumpkin patch and get your first pumpkin for Halloween. The only problem: I wasn’t expecting such a warm day and didn’t dress you accordingly. Sorry! It was the first time you had to deal with the heat and the sun and we didn’t have any sun hats that fit you or any of the big ones in the diaper bag, so you ended up wearing a cotton ball cap. A fleece romper and an onesie under it completed the inappropriate outfit. You started crying while we were walking on the pumpkin field so I took you to the car and changed your clothes to something lighter, but since we had nothing to protect your head, we didn’t go back to the field and waited for your grandparents and friends to come back. We got you a nice big pumpkin that we’ll carve on Saturday when your nona arrives to visit. Next year you will have a better time, I promise!

We went to the mall today and daddy carried you around in the Baby Bjorn. He put you there facing out so you could see everything and everybody and you loved it. But for whatever reason you didn’t want him to stop walking, so he spent the whole time we were there walking non stop! We stayed for 2 hours so it was quite amazing that you spent all that time in the carrier. The only time you complained was when daddy stopped walking, so he got a lot of exercising. Since he has been counting / tracking steps for his exercising program, it was not bad at all!

You have been around our cat Gato since you came home from the hospital, but you hadn’t really noticed him until today. You have seen him many times but you never acted in any different way than when you saw something else around the house. Today you opened your eyes wide when you saw him and stared while he was moving around. I can’t wait until you are old enough to call him and pet him! Not sure he will like that 😉

For the second time in your lifetime you were able to make such a big poop that your diaper leaked, not only making your pants dirty but your back and the clothes of whomever was holding you – both times your grandma Lucia was the victim. Both explosive diaper incidents happened during the night, after 4 AM, and all I saw were the soiled clothes about to be washed the next morning. I still don’t understand how the clothes were that dirty, it seemed like you weren’t wearing any diaper at all. I will spare everybody the details, and no, I didn’t take a picture of it.

Our friends Heliene and Emerson and their baby Nicholas asked if we would like to go to Typhoon, a thai restaurant in Redmond, so they could meet you. We were a little nervous about taking you to a restaurant but we said yes. You couldn’t have behaved better! You were awake most of the time, being passed from mommy’s lap to grandma’s to daddy’s. You drank a bottle and slept a little bit, sat in your carseat by daddy’s side and comfortably looked at everything around and smiled. We were out for 3 hours and you slept on our way home. If we knew you would always behave like this, we would go out a lot more 😉

Today you got a little bit of tummy time for real: we put a blanket on the floor so you could stay flat on your tummy and use your arms to bring your upper body up. You did great, we used your Minnie ball toy to get your attention and make you look at a different direction following the sounds that it makes. You got tired very quickly and a little upset until we turned you so you could lay on your back. Before today you only got tummy time laying on your daddy’s chest, which is not as hard. Gato was very interested on your blanket, but he sat by the sidelines and didn’t step on it. We wonder when you will start noticing Gato…

You finally seemed to enjoy having a bath. Today I filled up the bathtub so your entire body was underwater, and I held your head out while your grandma washed you. You had your eyes wide open and an expression of amusement (it could be from the fact that you peed on me and your grandma while we were undressing you). You didn’t cry, scream or even complained during the entire bath time nor while we dried you. You were making cute little conversation sounds when we dressed you. We combed your hair and you looked pretty content, then you finally had enough and cried that you wanted to eat. We hope all your future baths are like this one.
