10 Months!

The month of April was quite eventful.  Luis contracted an Intususussception AND hand, foot and mouth disease, not to mention several colds. He only attends daycare twice weekly, however we feel that he is constantly bringing something home. Fortunately, he is quite resilient.

Our sweet baby is getting to be such a big boy now.  Oh, how time flies. And speaking of time 'flying', I have been planning baby's 1st birthday party. I've chosen an aviation/travel theme. Fun!

Ten things about Luis this month:

• He is now biting his crib... there are teething rails, but the funny thing is, he bites AROUND the teething rail. So we now have these little ridges in his beautiful crib!
• Baby is more active than ever. We are anticipating that he will take his first steps any day now.
• He loves peekaboo games and being tickled.
• Luis has a GREAT appetite. At times we are amazed at the volume of food he can consume.
• When he is sick he wants to be close to mama.
• When it is time for play, he looks forward to having fun with Daddy. (So much fun to watch!)
• He has four upper teeth coming in.
• Baby loves to laugh.
• It is difficult to keep him out of our mail and shopping bags.
• Without fail, he is sound asleep in the car and stroller within 5 minutes. (This can be quite helpful!)
