A conversation with Diego

This one is really only funny in Spanish - but if you've got some time it's worth running through babblefish.

....while taking out the Nativity scene....

Mama: Diego, estos son los reyes magos.

Diego: Malos mama?

Mama: No Diego - magos.

Diego: Porque son malos mama?

Mama: Diego, no malos, son reyes magos.

Diego: Mangos?

Mama: Magos, Diego, magos.

Diego: Oh....

I think the details and ttheology was mostly lost on him... it's a process.

Dear Lucia - Six Months

Dear Lucia;

You are six months old now. Today we went to the doctors to get your shots and you were such a trooper. You smiled and co-operated with everyone and when it was time to stick you with the immunizations you whimpered a little - then looked in the mirror and got happily distracted. Keep being that strong, it will serve you well in the future. Speaking of strong, you have the most intense stare now with new people. It's a little intimidating actually. You reserve judgement (I like that too) but when you have decided to like someone you have the most wonderful smile.

Your father can always get you to giggle and you have begun noticing your brother Diego as well. He loves you a lot little one! I hope you will be very good friends.

In physical milestones - you are sitting up pretty well. We sit near you in case you topple over but you are balancing for longer and longer chunks every day. You have also started eating solid foods. Your favorite so far has been pureed carrot but you are also chowing down on the banana, mixed veggies and even a bit of beef.

Yesterday afternoon you were fussy and so was your brother so we cuddled up on the couch and watched a movie. You slept in my arms for an hour and a half. You have been so independent (by nature and necessity)  we don't get the chance to do that very often. It occurred to me that you won't be a baby for very much longer. Pretty soon this house is going to be rocking out to the sounds of two little kids. I am so looking forward to finding out who you are and sharing the rest of you life. Thanks again Lucia - I'm glad you picked us.

Diego: "Mama, what you talking?" (always when we are talking about something you shouldn't be listening to)

at 7:08 in the morning, screamed from your room: "I want to go downstairs and play with superheros!" Good morning Diego
