From the Vault - Xmas eve

I don't always remember to post every picture that comes down the pike, and sometimes my mom stumbles on one and simply insists that I add it to my chronicles of moi.

This is one of those pics (my papa took it on Christmas eve. my mom thinks I must have been playing hide 'n' seek with him)

Mac 'n' cheese and more grandma, please!

I really, really love mac 'n' cheese. I think it's delicious.
Abbondanza!
btw, have you notice how many teeth I have now?
Did I mention that my grandma betsy came into town for almost a week to visit me? We played from dawn 'til dusk!
She helped me play with all of my babies, who really need a lot of attention.Luckily I'm very entertaining. Grandma went home on Sunday and I already miss her, of course!

My Towel Hat

I have three things I look forward to after my nightly bath:
1) paci (pronounced packy)
2) baba (pronounced bahbah)
3) towel hat (you probably know how to pronounce this)

In case you are wondering what those things are, let me tell you:
1) paci is my beloved pacifier.
2) baba is my night-time or naptime treat of a delicious bottle
OK, these might be obvious, but what do you think my towel hat is? Well, I'll tell you...
Every night after my bath I demand my "towel hat"
And then I ask for "seat belt" which means it needs to be nice and tight around my tummy. And then I am satisfied and can happily enjoy my paci and baba.

Grrr....

Today Maribel was at home sick, so I stayed at my house with my mama. We had fun! We did some "click" and "cheese" (you may refer this as taking photos.)

Here I am growling like a jaguar for mama!

And here is my handsome brother champ:

I took these pics:

(mama won't let me post the hideous shot I got of her!)

She also took this photo of me - when she discovered that I pulled the entire roll of toilet paper off and made confetti. clever. lucky for me, she thought it was cute.

This afternoon my Grandma arrived for a visit! My mama is determined to be a lot better this time about taking lots of pics. So stay tuned!

The tracks of my tears

We just came home from a lovely (speedy) weekend in Fresno to celebrate Auntie Kathy's 40th birthday. I spent more time in the car than I did with my cousins, but it was worth it! Well, this might have been one minute I didn't think being stuck in the car was a good thing. Can you see my crocodile tear? even a portable DVD of Cookie Monster only softened my fury.

Last week I had a visit from my super dreamy boyfriend Nicholas. Could he be any cuter?

Happy New Year!

Today it might be cold and rainy here in L.A., but on New Year's Day, it was beautiful and sunny. It gave me a chance to do some work in my garden.
I watered my plants and took care of my turtles, and picked lots of fruit.
And yes, I did get my bangs trimmed again, thanks for noticing.

Lovin' it!

Goodbye 2010...

Around here, we tried to say good bye to 2010 and ring in the new year with some festivity, for auld lang syne, as they say.

Here I am enjoying a fabled cup of kindness. Yum!

What exactly goes into a cup of kindness?Oops, I think I just spilled that cup o' kindness.
Hmm, I wonder if there's a better way to toast the new year?

Now that's what I'm talking about!

We prefer to celebrate como los Brasilianos...(It might have been 6:00pm in L.A., but it was midnight in Rio!) Cheers!

Don't ask me why, but mama and daddy didn't want to go "night night" when I did, but anyway, they stayed up for a rollicking NYE celebration with my friends, Auntie JoJo and Charles.

Happy New Year! Here's to a wonderful 2011!

For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
