13 Months

He's trying to take off the skirt(natasha's ballet skirt)that A. Yacsis and A. Jane put on him...that's so mean because he is such a boy!

Yacsis and Jane teasing Adrian poor thing!!



Great Grandma with Adrian, I'm very glad that Adrian and Grandma got to meet.
My Grandma also came over that night, we had a lot of fun

Wild boy!
my cousin ashley loved Adrian, he really liked her too!
a kiss for you

We had a little family get together at Josues' and Yacsis' house, Adrian behaved very well and didn't go to sleep till it was very late.

"eyess"

Wait dad don't take the picture yet!
I got these glasses out of the pinata, they fit him so perfectly I had to tkae a picture. Adrian likes sunglasses(or any glasses for that matter)whenever I have glasses on he smiles takes them off of me and tries to put them back on me., of course he pokes my eyes a few times. But it's so cute I let him, I just close my eye, ha!

the Coke can was keeping him happy for the picture, He doesn't drink Coke.All the kids were having fun hitting the pinata, Adrian spoted a ball a mile away and went to get it, He didn't care about the pinata...I guess
Adrian will see a ball where no others can see them, no matter where he is he always finds a ball. Adrian LOVES balls!
Adrian loves A. Jane

he loved the sheep ride he didn't want to get down...


Aftian lost a shoe but he didn't even notice, he was to distracted by the animals!




It looks like he is laughing but he actually posed a smile.





He loves playing outside it's his favorite thing to do


he is learning to kick the ball
Again this is not a laugh, he posed a smile.

he loves instruments I was teaching him how to play "twinkle twinkle" on the piano. I grab his index finger and to play and he stays still.

Time flies, Adrian is getting so big and he is such a little character! Adrian started walking at 12 months and now at 13 months he is a full time walker! Some of the words that Adrian can say are: ba(ball), po(potty), ca(car), shee(sheep), sa(outside), bu(book), wa or wawa(water), t(eat), no, dac(dog), ba(bath), sha(shoe), ap(apple), and of course a bunch of giberish that I pretend to understand. He also says words in spanish, actually every time I ask him in spanish to say a word he always tries to copy it. He doesn't do that with english. Tom and I still try our best to speak to him in spanish and english. He understands both very well. Adrian is very obedient when I ask him not to go somewhere, I'll say "Adrian ven aca" he smiles and walks towards me saying ca... ca(aca?). He loves being with papi(all my nieces and nephews know him by that, they never call him grandpa) and likes going out on walks with him. Adrian is a bit of an outdoor kid he goes crazy in the house all day. He get's really excited when I ask him if he wants to go outside, he says sa sa sa and does the sign for outside. Adrian signs a lot now, he loves signing!

I have lost Adrian in the house a few times...I know it's terrible! The thing is he's so fast and moves around so quickly. A lot of times I end up finding him in a bathroom happy to be playing with the toilet paper role or in a closet or sitting in a corner with a book. So he hasn't gotten into terrible things. Natasha, Adrians 3 yr old cousin likes him a lot but she also loves teasing him. He doesn't like her very much..it's funny because he'll be so happy but as soon as she walks into the room and says "macchiato!" he imediatly changes and gets angry and worked up!

We went to a friends birthday party and they brought a petting farm, Adrian was in heaven. It was really fun for him to see the animals that he sees so much on videos and flashcards. Adrian loved the sheep he kept saying "shee shee shee". He also got to feed the animals but I had to take the animal food away from him because he kept eating it!

Because we don't have a pool here I haven't been able to continue with his swimming leasons. I hope he doesn't hate the pool later.

12 months(one year)

Adrian is into doing this really weird thing where he gags himself then he laughs

Natasha and Adrian's candles
We put a lot of love into making these cupcakes I wish I had close-ups of them so were really cute. A. Yacsis made the tower

Adrian is a year old! We didn't do anything special today but we will celebrate it this week along with cousin Natasha's birthday. I did make a cheese cake just to let him know he is special to me! Actually it's the first cheese cake a have ever made. Poor Adrian didn't feel so well today he had a slight temperature probably because of teething. Adrian is probably going to be walking very soon because now he stands all on his own for a few minutes. I'm so happy because he is getting really heavy to carry and when he crawls he gets all dirty. Adrian is now getting a little bit more use to everyone around here, his first few days here he was really clingy. I think he must have been missing home. But he really loves all his cousins here and they take good care of him. I'll be posting pictures of the little party we will do this week.


So Much So Fast!
Adrian is growing up so fast I Miss the little baby :(...but I'm so happy to watch him grow. He walks now! For a while now he has been wanting to make his first steps but didn't dare. His U. John Daniel was teaching him how to lock his knees to stand up. He says so many words now and tries to copy anything you say to him. He is constantly "talking". We went to Denver to visit, he met his U. Santiago, Kelsi, and saw Grandma(Quiti) again. Apart from the loud screams I think he behaved very well with everyone and had a great time there. Adrian walked for the first time while we were there! It's as if he was waiting this whole time just to take his first steps in Denver. We went to the pool while we were there and he had lots of fun. He hasn't been in a big pool since we left Mexico. We had a little birthday celebration for him and Natasha(cousin) but he didn't seem to know or care what the occasion was for. He has learned new signs and is still the happiest baby on earth when he watches "Baby signing Time". I also just started potty training him, I should have started a long time ago but I didn't. So now I start at a year and hope he gets it because I'm tired of changing diapers. I got him this really cute frog potty, he loves it and can say po(potty) and signs potty! I'll have to take a picture of him on the potty and post it.
