Mateo's 1st Birthday

Well we had Mateo's first birthday on Sunday, October 19th. We had about 30 people at the house. We didn't really do any games or anything, those will come at later nirthday parties. I will however post a couple of the pics. He got a few presents...Stacking alphabet/number blocks, a infant baseball toy, $10, Nike sneakers and some small dollar store items from children.

His big cake was Diego, couldn't really plan for anything else quick enough, and he had a small chocolate cake w/ chocolate frosting for himself. We had pizza and chips......

The Big First BDAY

My baby is going to be A YEAR OLD in 13 days and it's so depressing, why does time have to fly by??? He is walking, talking, and he is quite the little climber, and he also likes to play with his big brothers kid size soccer ball(but, of course, he's mexican so FUTBOL is in his blood)...

A list of some words he says and his pronunciation real word will be in parantheses. Mama, Dada, Brara(Brother/hermano), Dio (Tio), Dayo (Teo..his name), baba (bottle), Mih (milk), Agee (Paige, his cousins name), Nigh Nigh(nite, nite). I have been working on him saying Te Amo (I Love You, in Spanish), he says the Te part. He also claps his hands when we say Yea Teo!!!! or When Dada says Bravo!!!. When he sees someone coming or going he waves, he did it today while we were walking down the street to a neighbor we don't really communicate with regularly. He is getting sooo big and I can't stand it.

Pablo, my big boy will be 4 in December and he never shuts up...He says small palabras malas(bad words) like fat ASS, SHIT pants and he says COPsucker luckily the last one isn't too bad since he deosnt say it right. He is quite the little terror though (un diablo). He is trying really hard to be out ofhis pull ups and in underwear. He now has 2 money collection jars one at home and one at his Aunt Toochie's (My sister Moochie..a nickname) He is told every time he uses the potty he will get money in them and when he fills them up he will have enough to buy his Handy Manny Truck that is like $55.00 at WalMart, so he has been doing well with it between the two houses he has like $20.00 of it already.

Tomorrow he is getting a chance to go to the Topsfield Fair in Massachusetts. It has animals, Games, Rides and Much Much more. He enjoyed Deerfield Fair last weekend so hopefully he likes Topsfield Fair. If you are not from around Massachusetts or New Hampshire these fairs are mainly Agricultural and full of Animals, more for learning than playing. But he gets to do both each time....We normally hit a third Fair too Called Rochester Fair which is in New Hampshire also, that one is the coolest one because they have Bull Riding Competitions unlike the other too, it's awesome, he really enjoys himself, but then he is a kid and he LOVVVVVVVVVVVVES ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big Time, he does have a pet dog, her name is Luna Llena(Full Moon) and she is 75% WOLF (Lobo) and 26% Husky (un typo de perro). Thats is it for tonight Enjoy the blog. Hope to hear back from someone anyone I know on here. TTYAL (talk to you all later) Bye for NOW....Hasta luego, Adios.

Sorry, it's been over a month

I can't believe I haven't posted in over a month. Well I have been busy between mom duties and school who has time for anything else. I have been in classes for a months now, I had 1 test and turned in an essay thats a test grade......My medical language test was last week, I will find out tonight how I did. 2 weeks ago I handed in my first Essay (a test grade in English Comp), it was about a remembered event in my life...Great so many but I chose to srite about my first time giving birth, I got a B, before I handed it in two girls in my class read it, one of whom is pregnant and all she could say after reading it was I hope my delivery isn't this scary...lol Poor girl.....

Mateo has been sick, he has about 3-4 teeth all coming in right now and his birthday is 2 weeks from Friday he will finally be 1....

We went to Deerfield Fair in New Hampshire over the weekend and it was Mateo's first Fair he loved it, especially the monkeys in the zoo tent, he couldn't take his eyes off them and he got scared when we got near a Nubian Goat from Africa they are quite "tall".......

My husband might not go to Mexico as planned , he can't seem to save the amount of money he wants to in order to leave....So that I will have to update people on....

Other than that nothing special has been going on, hopefully I remember to post again soon...

4TH TOOTH

Mateo's 4th tooth came in tonight now he has the two front teeth on bottom and on top....My husband is due to leave in early to mid november for Mexico. Hopefully everything works out the way I'd like it to for myself and my kids. I will keep updateing those who know and those who care to know.

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!! and then some

Well it's been awhile since last but....Mateo got his first teeth on May 1st and May 13th..He was 6 months old....Well finally with a few days to go before he is 10 months old his 3rd tooth popped out and the 4th is following suit. I have been waiting for what seems like forever for him to have more than 2....and Finally he's got 1 more and 1 coming in SOON!!!!!!!!

As for myself, I start college classes on September 3rd. I am planning on getting a certificate in Medical Billing and as I finish classes working on 2 other certificates..same idea but all 3 mean good paychecks hopefully. The other 2 certificates are going to be Medical Coding and Medical Transcription. My first 2 classes start the 3rd they are Spanish between 1215P and 130P and then that night between 6P and 840P I will be doing Business Accounting and Bookkeeping.
my other two courses set to start that week are English Composition and Medical Language.
My sister will have her hands full 3 nights a week, she will have my 2 boys and my brothers 2 kids(ages 9 and 11) since he works at night. Then well Spring semester comes hopefully I have all day time courses.....

In other news, Juan Sr's father is sick, but not deathly that we know of and he might be planning to go into the Mexican Consulates office to get what he needs to fly from here to Mexico..since he's still illegal. But then comes the part of how or when he will get back here. Im hoping he makes me apply for a visa and doesn't choose to try and sneak back across the border...I hear all kinds of stroies lately about people having trouble applying and receiving visas if they had originally been here illegally, so Im hoping it's not too hard...But hopefully some of my dads rich friends have some pull somewhere..btw Dad has a good friend inside the Immigration Departments walls so hopefully the legal way isn't as hard for me as it has been for some. Wish me Luck with everything and I will keep whomever reads my blogs posted on the situation....Enjoy the remaining days of summer everyone they are almost over for the year...Will post agin soon

Nothing Special Once Again

It's been a while since I wrote but let's see if I can speed through the last couple of weks. Only things significant really is Juan Pablo got ma at Mammy and Grampa last week they took off to Maine for a week and didn't take him. He told me he wasn't going to talk to Mammy no more.....They called the night before they got home and he DID!!!!! talk to Mammy. They brought him and Mateo home some stuffed bears that said West Quaddy Lighthouse, Lubec Maine...it's way up by Canada, actually five minutes away from where they were staying. Yesterday we went to a wedding, my dad's cousins duaghter Kelly married her boyfriend of maybe 6 months. So now she is a wife and step mother. I asked her when she'll be adding to their small family she said hopefully soon, so we'll see if she gets pregnant soon or not. That's it for now.

He can SWIM!!!!

Juan Pablo now swims without water wings. My sister bought him a pair of goggle that block his nose and he now goes in the pool without help and knows to close his mouth as he swims around the pool. He swam from the middle to the ladder about 9 ft away. the pool is 18 feet around. Then he proceeded to keep swimming back and forth between my sister and cousin and me. And Mr Mateo he got a new float its shaped like a crab and has a sunshade on it to keep the sun out, even though he wears sunscreen and a bathing suit set that keeps the rays off him.
