Adriano's first tub Toys

I know what your thinking, but he is like 7 months old. He had a great time with the tub toys! What a cutie lol!

Polga's Pool

Adriano stayed at grandma's house while we went to fest. It was too hot for him, so when I got to grandmas, she mentioned that Padrinho bought a pool for polga but she did not want anything to do with it, and that she had tried to take Adriano out, but he wanted nothing to do with it. So we let Lily have at it, but of course Mommy was not prepared so she swam in a diaper, which by the way became enlarged very quickly!

Atwater Festa

On June 27 Liliana, Marco and I headed to the atwater festa. Marco carried the organazations banner, and lily did great carrying the sign on the way there. On the way back it was too hot for her and she just took a ride in Debbie's stroller. We had lunch at burger king! What a great time :)

Swimming

Liliana had her first swim lesson. She was so excited, everyday she would start asking to put her swimming suit on way earlier then needed. When we got to the pool she would tell me "Mommy, Senhora help me?" Daily she would give me a report of what she did " Mommy, I did big jumping" or " Mommy, I swim." I am so glad she is not afraid of the water and that she really seems to enjoy herself.

Very soon it will be time for gymnastics.

Tracy Festa

Liliana was asked to a part of the Tracy festa. She was invited to be an angel. On the way to church she was unsure of the float, but she quickly made some friends. On the way back, Lily did not want to sit in the trailer, she wanted to walk so we let her. She had such a great time playing with Ashley, Kevyn and Tony. Here are a few pictures:

Date Night

On Saturday of the local Fest, my mom stayed with the kids while marco and I had the opprtunity to go to the festa. It was nice to spend time together. We danced a few songs, but then I felt guilty that my mom was with the kids so we came home early. Not to mention I was not impressed with the band, they where really loud!

Mommy School

Lily is my little learner. She loves to play school. Most of the time I get home from work and she tells me "Mommy school please." She is very eager to learn. She can identify about 12 letters and state the sound of about the same number of letters. She can identify her shapes (circle, triangle, and square). She can write the first 2 letters of her name and now states her name "Nana Vaz" its not completely correct but totally cute. She also has developed an understanding of things matching. She can match colors but has difficulty naming then. Most importantly is that she has a love for reading!

26 Weeks old

Adriano is 26 weeks old.

I love his big dark brown eyes.
I love the way he rubs hes eyes when he is getting sleepy and if your still not getting the picture he will dig his head into your chest and move.
I love his smile.
I love that he starting to rollmore.
I love watching him play with toys.
I love watching him and sissy interact, even though she is a little jealous.
I love his giggle.
I love how excited he gets in perperation for tablefood!

Bay Discovery Muesum

So yesterday June 2 we went to the Children's Discovery Museum of the bay. We had a good time. It is very well organized and unlike some other museums has well defined spaces. The Children's museum also has a promotion that it is free entry on the first Wednesday of every month. In addition, I loved that this museum had some great outdoor play areas. It truly had something for a variety of ages and interests. Here are a few pictures:

Lily standing on the bridge at the tot spot


Playing at the river in the Tot Spot. She had fun playing with the rubber fishes.


Inside the tot spot. Lily enjoyed riding the waves and also being an insect. Very interactive.




Inside the space exhibit.. in my opinion this is one for the older kids Lily did not have much interest in it


Art Studio: This is dived into two age groups prek/kinder and tot. In the tot section they had a sand table, wooden blocks, 2 painting stations (one paper and one on glass), and magnetic building station. For the older kids they had a variety of art tools and their goal was to create something out of cardboard.



Outdoor Play area: with a variety of play areas including a gravel pit with shovels and dumb trucks, the Bay bridge, and boat.




Wave Workshop. Another one that is great for older kids but Lily had a great time. Interactive.




Discovery Hall: Another great exhibit. Had a large train set, boat, port of San Fransisco where the kids can net crabs, port of Oakland, and a toll both!



This is how Adriano spent the day... I love my sleepy wrap
Plus I am learning how to wear him and this was much more comfortable for both of us!

Just for fun

Here are a few pictures I took today. I capture Adriano in the middle of roll. He is to cute and very proud of himself, he bursts into laughter every time!As I am sure you can see from the picture he is starting to sit up, but tends to lean forward lol! too cute! Lily was posing for mommy. Mommy's little diva

Festa fun

Ok another festa...this time it was turlock. Lily did a much better job this time :) We went to eat sopas while mass was going on so lets just say we got a workout.

Water Fun

Lily did such a great job at the parade that I thought we would set up the pool for her..it was a little cold but they enjoyed themselves.Ok...mommy and daddy joined in to!
