Up Up Up!

Me: 31 weeks pregnant (almost 8 mo), G almost 21 months

Dad, R & G -- G is ready to escape out the gate

At a wonderful Sushi dinner ... before G started his interpretive dance & yoga routine beginning with some downward dog followed by rolling around on the floor. He even put himself in time out -- Me: G do you want to sit? G: Yes (and then sits).

Just taking the opportunity to catch up on posting some of our more recent pictures!

Growing Boy (and girl and puppy)!

While G is growing and coming up with all new tricks right before our eyes (naked dancing time every night is a favorite), baby girl is growing and growing inside of me (almost 8 months pregnant!) and little Luna our puppy is getting bigger and bigger as well.

With the birthday girl!

G likes for us to wear bucket hats in the pool

G, despite apparently having told R for months that we needed to get a dog (according to R...), is still getting used to Luna. He has however mastered his first sentence courtesy of Luna "No Dog!"

G's favorite hiding spot behind the flowers, with Luna in hot pursuit

Where is G?

There he is!

A little bit behind but this is our baby girl at 25 weeks!

 Hope all is well with you all! Besos!

San Juan del Sur

View from the house we rented for the weekend

Last weekend we went to San Juan del Sur, almost 3 hours south of Managua, with some good friends of ours. We rented a hosue just outside of the city with a pool and an amazing view, had a great dinner of surf & turf (lobster tails and marinated meat), then went Playa Hermosa the next day. G loves the beach and runs right into the waves! He and his friend S had a great time playing in the sand. I wish I had fotos of the exit from Playa Hermosa. It was pouring pouring rain when we left and the streams we crossed to get there became rivers with waterfalls. No pictures because I was holding on and complimenting R on his driving expertise as we made full use of our 4WD. Beautiful beautiful beach (near where Survivor Nicaragua was filmed apparently) that we will definitely go back to.

We have a puppy!

"G" has been wanting a puppy for a long time... or so R tells me. We finally gave in and got a lovely black lab. G is excited to the point of trembling but also is not a fan of having his face licked and being knocked down. So he has developed a foot ball touch down run stance when the puppy gets near -- one arm straight out, the other protecting his face. It's only been a day though so I'm sure either G will get more used to the "poppy" as he calls her. He did enjoy taking her for a walk today.

Meet Luna!

Gustavo goes to pre-school and dances

It's been a big week for Gustavo -- He went to pre-school for the first time (with monkey for the first day) and discovered some new dance moves. Here he is in his little uniform

Gustavo on the first day with Monkey and mantita (his blanket)

By today (day 4) he calmly waved goodbye to R (who I made drop him off because I thought I might cry too!) and went to play with the trucks! All of G's new vocabulary is transportation based: truck, train, car, bus, tractor, moto.

G has recently been showing off some fancy new dance moves. Usually he likes to be naked to dance, but here are some PG dance moments.

 

After getting distracted by something on the floor ans stomping on it, back to dancing.
