Thanksgiving

Nico making a train with his wooden blocks.

And the feast is ready.

Oliver´s Spanish Baptism

These are a few pictures of the ceremony. Number two now baptized in Spain with the water of the Jordan River. As you can see Oliver does not like things to be put on his head and by the end of the ceremony he was pretty sick of pictures. Nico as you can see was given a new spiderman action figure right before the ceremony.

After the ceremony we all went to have lunch.

2 months

On Thursday Oliver had his 2 month check-up and vaccines. The good news is that he has grown well and what used to be 4 shots is now only 3. He was a trooper and only cried for a bit and didn´t have a fever. He now ways 5.675 kilos (12.5 lbs) and is 60 cm long(23.5 ins.).

Doing Homework

At this age it is still fun(for child and parents).

SURPRISE!!

I had a surprise party for Samuel...it was a success.

Fernando and Oliver...looks natural doesn´t it. Nico eating only the frosting.

It´s difficult to get a picture of Nico and Chloe as they are always looking at each other playing.

Opening presents...Nico is now an expert.

And Nico is allergic too......

If you click on the first picture you can see how during the cocktail his face started getting all red...and as a good unknowing mother I took off his wool sweater so he wasn´t so hot...it didn´t work.

Here is at the table a bit before we left...he had hives on his face, neck and chest and was red on his face, neck, chest, groin area and between his fingers...it was itchy.

This is the aftermath of red and some lingering hives at home after an hour in observation at the ER and the first dose of antihistimine. They are going to test him on December 1st to pinpoint what the reaction was from.

Fernando & Eme´s Wedding

The happy couple during the ceremony.

Fernando making it official and Samuel signing as a witness.

Nico freaking out when they let off the fire crackers.

If you look at the women´s hair the wind was not nice to us...nor to the babies as their strollers were being pushed away in the wind.

Cocktail with friends...(by the way this baby is not Oliver it is his friend Sergio that was born a few days before him.)

The gang.

Before we left for the ER... poor Nico, but we had a great time.
