Los Reyes Magos

As I think most of you know here we celebrate the 3 Wise Men bringing gifts on the night of Jan. 5 and we open then in the morning of the 6th. We all put out our shoes (as is custom) and and water for the camels...and this is what the they left for us.


They also left things at Samuel´s aunts house for us..

Pilar gave Nico a kiss and left a lipstick mark on his forehead.

At lunch with Samuel´s fathers Family.

Oliver Rolls



Okay I thought I should update the blog since my last post was Thanksgiving. When we went to MN we have lots of pictures but they aren´t on the computer so we will start on January 5th when Oliver rolled from his back to his belly the first time. (I know just a little delay) and as you can imagine since then he has become a professional roller from all ways and directions. His new thing is either pushing himself with his arms backwards or with his legs to go forward. I am waiting for him to crawl when his arms are strong enough...right now he can only support himself on hands and knees a few seconds.

My new best buddy


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.

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.).
