Big Boy

So this passed weekend we did a lot of work around the house. Especially Monkey's room because he is going to share a room in three months with his baby sister. So we got rid of a bunch of cloths one garbage bag, a basket and one suitcase full of cloths. We gave it to a friend of mine who recently had a baby boy. Also this weekend my mother got Monkey a toddler bed he has to start to get used to sleeping in it. He does not like it, but last night he slept the whole night, I did hear him complain for about 20 sec. around 5 am, that's about it. This morning Jose was getting ready to leave and he wanted to see that Monkey was OK and our poor little monkey was sleeping on the floor on his pillow between the bed and the rocking chair.

This is Monkey Doodle waking up this morning.

NAP TIME
I knew that I would have a problem with Monkey taking a nap on his bed, but I thought just give him a bottle and he'll go to sleep. Well I thought it was working since i did not hear him. About a hour after I put him down I hear him playing, I did not want to go in the room because maybe he would fall asleep and if he saw me he might start crying. Silence and them i hear paper tearing, I am wondering where can he get paper from. I had completely forgotten that Jose bookcases are still in Monkeys room. When i went in the room it was to late monkey had destroyed two books. The bad news is that Jose does not know yet, you are the first to find out. That's not all he did he took his cloths out that took us all day Saturday to organize, and went crazy with his toys. I hope you enjoy the pictures of what Monkey's room looked after his nap, which I don't think that he took, by the looks of it. That sneaky little Monkey.

Doesn't he look Innocent? NOT



In this picture I was asking him what happened? All he said was HUH!

Grandma Silvia's Funeral

No I do not have a Grandma Silvia, we went to the theater yesterday and that was the name of the play. It was pretty funny. Its one of those plays where you are part of it, Jose actually got to carry the the coffin in and was being followed by the retarded grandson named Mark, and also was asked to try out to be a GO-GO boy after the funeral by the son of the funeral owner that made the funeral parlor into "Club Mortuary" at nights. I have heard of other plays that are like this one, I know there is one of a wedding, that one I am sure would be a lot more interactive because it more of a reception, and people are not sitting in rows like the funeral was. At least we got to do something new and some free time with out my monkey even though we missed him a lot but I think sometimes it is necessary, thank goodness for grandparents.

Jose is SO GREEDY

I have to say that my husband is so greedy, he won't let me play with the NEW IPOD that I bought for him. Yeah I bought it for him but he should at least let me see it once. I think he thinks that I am going to lose it because I lost my Nano Ipod recently I have no idea where it may have gone. I got it X-mas of 2005 and used it for like 3 months, then the fever died its true, I am not an electronic gadget kind of person. I prefer purses, clothes, shoes, but you know, the WII does sound kinda neat, and the whole family can play, so its not that bad. Well I am going to go, maybe he will lend it to me now.

Monkey and my little cousin Carolina.
It has been a long time, lots has gone on Monkey is a lot bigger and very demanding. He hates when anyone touches my belly he says it his. I have told him that the baby is there and he gives her kisses and rubs it, but if someone else does it he gets mad and pushes them away and there are times when he hits that person including his father. This morning he told us to pretty much be quiet, we where having breakfast and he was playing with his food, so I told him to stop,and he replied by putting his finger on his mouth and said ssh! We were completely amazed that he even knew how to do that. But yeah thats our 17 month old now.

This was the most beautiful view it of the city San Jose. It was not easy going up this mountain to get to the resort where she got married the last 2 miles is dirt road and there is nothing protecting you from falling off the edge.

My cousin Karla and her now husband Josue.

I took 10 days off of work and went to Costa Rica with Monkey for my cousins wedding. I haven't been in 6 years last time I went Jose and I had just met, and now I went back and they could not believe that I was married and had a growing family they were all so happy to see me. It was a lot of fun except for the part where Anthony got a stomach virus the day that we were leaving Florida, that was a nightmare lucky my grandma was with me and she was able to help me out. I am telling you if it wasn't for her being there I would have canceled the whole trip. I had 3 changes of cloths and all 3 got dirty before we even got on the plane. I had to buy him a shirt at the airport to get him on the plane. For the next 3 days he was sick he barely ate and he did not want to sleep in the pack n play, this was the first time in his life that he slept with me in the same bed. He did not want to go with anyone, he wanted me to carry him all the time but of course I can't he is way to heavy for me to carry. He also had four teeth coming in at the same time. After a couple of days he was back to his normal self and we were able to enjoy our trip we went to a volcano and a waterfall were he almost lost a shoe, my aunts husband and his son had to go down to the river and get it back.

This picture is when they were bringing the shoe back.
This is the waterfall Catarata La Paz which means The Peace Waterfall.

My aunt, me, her husband and monkey doodle.
I can't wait till I go back to Costa Rica there is so much I want to show Jose, hopefully we can all go in October for my other cousins wedding, which is the sister of the one that just go married. I just wonder how we are going to manage with two little ones. We are going to need a vacation from that trip. haha!

Guess what Anthony can do?

Anthony has been saying many little words in Spanish, I think it great that he can communicate. Well today I asked him where his peepee is and he touch his diaper and said peepee, and started laughing. I thought it was so cute that he knows where his peepee is. The other day I was changing his diaper and he said STOP, he also said stop when I was tickling him, it amazes me to see how much he knows and understands. The only thing we are having trouble with is the anything that has 4 legs is a gato (cat in Spanish) we are working on that but when he sees a cat on TV he recognizes it and says gato.
He loves music anything that maybe playing he dances to. He twirls around, bounces up and down, and also tries snap his fingers. TO CUTE!
We let him feed himself now, and he does get 90% of the food in his mouth the rest goes to the cats, he just loves to feed them.

I have been feeling pretty good, just that this week that I have a cold but thats about it. On Monday we have another Dr. appt. and sonogram can wait to see my little girl again. I don't remember if we had mentioned it but yeah we are having a GIRL. We have actually decided on a name, this time it was a lot easier, I don't know why but here it is Gabriella, no middle name well not yet. I like by itself.
