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.

S

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.

And we smile and coo now...

I finally got Oliver to smile for the camera today. He has been smiling and cooing for a week or two now but everytime I get out the camera he stops to look at it.

HALLOWEEN

The jack-o-lantern and Nico of course.

The boys and the pumpkin.

Sorry Kyla and Tim, Oliver wore his pumpkin shirt on Friday and I forgot to take a picture but he was the hit of the neighborhood when we went shopping.

We keep growing.

These were taken last week. He likes to show off his neck muscle skills.

This was on a Friday after spending 10 mins. in the car to park and a long school week.
