My First Meal

Here we go...

Ohhhhhh this is sooooooo gooood...

You're gonna give me more, right???

DAAAAAAD!!!! My mouth is full!!!

So Cal is So Wonderful!

Mom wanted me to let everyone know that she wanted to give you time to really take in our holiday trip. Someone (we don't want to mention any names Aunt Kelly) said that she hates it when Mom puts 4-5 different posts up all at the same time. So that is why these pictures from early January are just now making it onto our blog. FYI the pictures that Mom puts up after this post will have happened a few weeks before she puts them up and this will probably be the case for everything in the future. :) Sorry Mom, I had to keep it real.

Isn't my Great Gramma Jean pretty?

Ohhhh! Aunt Kelly is pretty too AND strong!!!

Mom and Dad got to watch me and my cous while Uncle Coop & Aunt Kelly went on a date.
We had lots of fun!

DAAAAAAD! I can't believe that you just did that!!!
(Archer thinks that his Uncle Robert is crazy!)

Dad's gonna get it! (Archer thought that we should get out of there quick. Now I see why he wanted to learn how to crawl!)

I also went to NEW MEXICO!!!

This was my first trip to New Mexico! We went to Santa Fe and Los Alamos (where Mom was born) and we went to visit Aunt Dottye! I got to meet my Great Grandpa Elmo. He lives in Los Alamos and he is very funny.

I'm trying to sleep!!!

Tito and Dad look really cool! I am going to look like them when I grow up! YEAH!!!

Tita & Tito at the Palace of the Governor in Santa Fe.

This is the road that leads to Los Alamos!


Aunt Dottye gave me the greatest bath ever! I mad a little bit of a mess and she didn't care! I love her so much!!!


She was so much fun to play with. We had such a good time.


Dad got to play with Uncle Ken. He showed Dad how to rope a cow. The cows here sure do look a lot different than the ones in California.


YEAH Daddy!!! You got him!!! I wonder why these cows don't run.

I WENT TO MEXICO!!!!

Not only am I the cutest kid in the USA, I am also the cutest kid in Mexico!!! We went to General Teran (an hour southeast of Monterrey, MX). That is where Tita Olga grew up and where a lot of her and Tito Robert's family is from and some still live there. Mom ate LOTS of tacos and she said that I might be able to try them the next time we go. Here are our Christmas pictures.


If I lay still Santa will think I am sleeping and he'll hurry up and get here.



Mom said that I looked so cute so she made Dad take way to many pictures of me.



Me and Dad on Christmas morning.



Los dos amigos! We went shopping on Christmas day. (click on this picture so you can see my face close up - I am so darn cute and apparently I love hats!)



OH MY GOSH! MOOOOOOOOOOOM DAAAAAAAAAAD! I can sit up!!!!

I WENT TO MEXICO!!!! con't

These pictures are from our day in Monterrey!


This fountain is AWESOME!!!



Mom and Tia Isabel looking pretty!



Dad, why do you look so sad??? (That is "Serro de la Silla" (Horse saddle mountain in the background)



I DON'T LIKE LIMES!!!



These are baby goats!!! I wonder if goats eat baby boys!!! We need to get out of here!!!

I WENT TO MEXICO!!!! con't

Me and Tito checkin out a Jeep 4-wheelin magazine - I CAN'T WAIT TO CRAWL UP ROCKS!!! In a Jeep that is!!!



Mom, you're not planning on putting me in there are you?!?!?



This wasn't the only thing that mom ate from this bakery! She ate lots of cookies too - PLEASE don't tell her that I told you!!!



Tita, Mire (I hope that is how it is spelled. Mom hasn't taught me how to spell her name) and me singing karaoke! Mire is a great dancer too and she's really pretty!!!



New Years Eve in the dark. Mom and dad didn't wake me up for the fun but apparently the lights went out in the whole town.

I was baptized!!!

Hey everyone! I got baptized last Sunday! Papi and my godfather, Uncle Grant came up and so did Tia Loli, Tio JJ & Tia Alicia AND all their kids. My godmother, Tia Isabel (baller!) gave me my outfit and I must say that I looked pretty good as you can see. Father Alex performed the ceremony and after the service he held me. He said that I am the first baby that he has ever held and I have to say that it is true. He was funny. Look at his face in the pictures. He was freaking out!!! I like him a lot even if he doesn't know how to hold me. He knows how to pray and that is much more important! Tita took some great pictures of the party at our house so I will have mom put those on here when she gets them. Hopefully she can get them before we go to Mexico!!!

Catch-up

My mom has something that she would like to say:
Thanks Jesus Marcos. This will only take a minute. I AM SO SORRY THAT I HAVEN'T UPDATED OUR BLOG! Life gets so busy but that is no excuse. What takes forever is having to post everything that has happened in that last 2 months all at one time! I hope that I never have to do this again!
Back to you my Love!
Mom and I went to Southern California for a sad occasion - My Great Grandpa passed away. I am sad that I never got to meet him but my mom said that he was a very great man and that I will meet him in heaven.
It was also a great time because I had a lot of "Firsts". I got to meet my Aunt Susie & Uncle Robert, Aunt Kelley, Uncle Richard, Aunt Leigh Ann AND Mama Jean for the first time. That was great! They were lots of fun. I also got to go on my first plane flight! The flight attendants LOVED me! I can't wait to go again!

Catch-up con't

Me and my cous Archer played a lot on this trip. He is older than me by 4 whole months! BUT I am growing fast and I think that I am almost as tall as he is. Mom and Auntie Kelly gave us a bath and I still had to stay in my tub because I can't sit up yet but as you can see I can really get my legs up high! Mom says that I shouldn't do that in front of girls but I am not sure why. SO MUCH TO LEARN!!!

Catch-up con't

Halloween! Please don't make fun of my mom for waiting so long to put these pictures up.
I was a red hot chili pepper (mom made my costume). This is the neighbor kid in Tita and Tito's neighborhood. She was a skunk. She was checking me out. I think that she thought that I was hot and not in a pepper sort of way if you know what I mean.
