Happy Halloween!!!

Just a little preview of what our neighborhood will see this Halloween. Christopher the Penguin!!

(I know I am biased, but he's so stinking CUTE!!)

Roll Over

Christopher finally rolled over (from back to side) for the first time last week. Here's a picture of him after acomplishng such a deed!!

Brazil

So here are the promised Brazil pictures. He had a great time spending time with my family.

Us in my parents' neighborhood

My sister and Christopher

Eric (my brother's baby) and Topher. These two are only 15 days apart.

While in Brazil we got to go to a soccer museum. This is us with the King - Pele.

We had 2 family reunions. This is my mom's whole side of the family.

I still don't have the pictures with everyone from my dad's side, but here's us with grandparents (dad's side)

The four cousins get reunited!! We used to love playing together when little. (Now we love to chat, gossip and catch up on each other's lives when we are together.)

Christopher and Ruth's son, Pedro.

Update + Tag

So I realize I’m really bad at this blogging business, but here’s a little update on our life. We just got back from a quick trip to Brazil this week. We usually go for at least a month, but this one didn’t last more than 2 weeks. Christopher was a good baby on the plane and in Brazil (which helped considering I was alone with him for all flights and for 1 week in Brazil). He grew his 1st tooth while we were there, and he’s just a happy little guy. I’ll post pictures sometime this week. Right now I’m just writing because I’ve been tagged by my friend Dana, so here it goes:
