I'm lacking the creative drive to turn any of these into an entire post on their own, so here are some snippets from our December.
Gabe has been invited to no less than 4 birthday parties in two weeks, and he has another one tonight. He likes the food, the games, the balloons and especially singing "Cumpleaños Feliz"...all as long as I am holding his hand.
In a young life highlight, the famed Alejandro came to babysit and he and Gabe show off their "Broken Jandros" together.
Gabe's preschool teacher plays the guitar and sings with them, and he has been asking for a guitar repeatedly. We finally made one out of a box and rubberbands. He loves it, but we'll have to see if Santa can upgrade it.
December 8th is the day of the virgin in Rosario, so no one has to work. We took advantage of Mario's mom being out of town and invited all our friends to her house to have an asado. Good thing Damian showed up to cook the meat!!
My friend Stephanie is pregnant so all the American girls (I like to refer to us as the Argentine sperm stealers) had a surprise baby shower for her. Cool shower games Janette planned: everyone brought a large bead and we each gave them to her with a wish and made a bead chain that she can then hold onto, throw across the room, whatever she wants during birth. We also planned to draw on her belly with henna, but we couldn't find henna here.
I made her a diaper cake with diapers, breast pads and enormous maxipads. Just trying to beautify the not so picturesque facts of childbirth! I went with Christmas theme b/c she isn't finding out the sex.
I think you're supposed to record your child's first bath. This is not her first, but the first one Mario was around to get a picture of.
She's chubbier and longer every day - she's already outgrown the sink!
