What is Nina up to?

And now is Nina's turn.. Nina keeps being a pretty easy-going, happy baby! She has been teething for a while and has 3 molars and 3 teeth that just cut through the gums! Last week she woke up 5 nights in a row at 4 am, but now she is sleeping better. After standing by herself for a while last week she started banging the gate of the playing area and got crazy when our dog walked by. So, Mark opened the gate, held her hands and she took off trying to chase our dog! Since then she wants her daily walking sessions. She is 14 months, so I guess it's ok... My only issues is that after "walking" for a little while she wants NOTHING to do in my arms and pushes away big time... well, we just need to find some balance...

She continue babbling and has learned the signs for more (usually for food) and book! She also knows that when she does something good I say "Muy bien" (like good job) and she starts clapping! Pretty cool, right?

In couple of weeks she will have her appointment with the pediatric cardiologist and hopefully everything will be OK... July will be the month for all the medical and dentist (Diego lost the filling of his chip tooth!) appointments and then by the end of July we are planning to go to Ecuador for a month!

Yeah, I can stand and play with my favorite toy: Elmo tool bench
Ready for the Soccer World Cup!
Read me a book, please?
Hum, I am hungry!
Help me walking, daddy?
Now you, mommy?
Just happy!

She is just so adorable!!!

When Claire was 14 months, she didn't want to be held much either. She was too busy walking and exploring. What worked best for us was sitting in my lap while I read to her or for a bottle at night before bed. She still is more snuggly when she's sleepy (morning and evening) and not as much during the day because she's so busy!

How great that you will have a month in Ecuador with your family!

Nina is doing so well trying to walk. She is just precious and I loved seeing the pictures of her and Diego playing together (riding the tractor). You have two beautiful children!!
