6 Lbs!!

Silvio0

Mom went to the Doctor today!

The Doctor said I now weigh 6 Lbs!! It must be because dad was grilling burgers outdoors for mom and me these past days. The snow on the backyard finally cleared and he was able to fire up the patio grill. I know that mom likes grilled food and she was happy to have it, to keep me healthy and growing strong!

The Doctor wanted to take a picture of me but he couldn’t. They said that I was all crawled up in my mom’s belly and I wasn’t showing my face!

Oh well, they have to wait until I’m more awake and fresh!

Perhaps next week… 🙂

New Doctor’s Visit

Mom is doing great. She walks like a heavy duck but everything is ready (or sort of) for me to come.

“It’s a waiting game at this point”, said Dr. Romero.

Dad got his TDAP shot today! (Tetanus Diphtheria and Pertussis)

Mom finally agreed with Aunt Patty to send the invitations to the baby shower.

Opening Presents from Rosario!

Silvio0

Wow! How generous my aunts, uncles and madrina from Rosario!! I got a lot of gifts!!!

All these are from madrina Silvia (and niece and nephew Flor and Niki, and uncle Alfredo). They gave me a nice, light-blue one-piece suit, my first ball!, a cool blue jumpsuit, rabbit shoes, and my first silk undershirt, which has an embroidered wheat spike for fortune and good luck!

Madrina Silvia also bought (last minute!) a nice outfit for mom’s pregnancy (the one in black and white, at the top).

This one is a nice argentine-colors blanket from tia Monica:

These three are from the Ruiz family (Francisco, Francisco Junior, Adriana, Stefi and little Mercedes). They gave me a Peruvian outfit (in crisp red and white), an Argentine blanket (in light blue and white) and a Newell’s Old Boys’ official soccer Jersey! So cool!
