Andres' First Christmas

Friday, Dec. 25, 2009: Andres celebrated his first Christmas with family. What a special holiday this year, with our little one. Andres was our best Christmas present! Thank you, God, for such a blessing. Andres is bringing us so much joy.

Andres' Baptism

Sunday, Dec. 20, 2009: Andres was baptized at Saint Michael's Catholic Church in Worthington.

Godparents: Jonathan Galindez and Daniele Yannucci

The Galindez family flew up for the occasion and stayed through Christmas. Neighbors and close friends attended as well.

Andres' First Thanksgiving

Thursday, Nov. 26, 2009: Wow, it has been a long time since I have updated Andres' blog. He is obviously keeping me very busy. He is growing fast, so we are enjoying every moment with him.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Doug's family here in our home. Andres was happy to meet them all, especially his cousins Matthew and Nathen.

Broccoli-Not so good either!

Friday, November 6, 2009: Andres tried broccoli today. He just doesn't seem to like green veggies. We are in trouble! I kept feeding him, and at least he wasn't as resistant as he was with the green beans. I ended up mixing some squash and carrots along with the broccoli, and this helped. He always enjoys fruit the most, so I gave him a mix of apples and blueberries which he ate very happily.

Green Beans-Not so Yummy!

Wednesday, November 4, 2009: Andres tried green beans today, and made a "not-so-good" face. I still tried to feed him, despite him turning his face away from me. Eventually, I mixed up some fruit with it so he would eat it. Oh boy!

Halloween Day

Saturday, October 31, 2009: We took Andres to Toys R' Us to meet Geoffrey the giraffe. It was a bit chaotic at the toy store, but we managed to take a picture with Geoffrey. Andres didn't seem that interested.

Halloween at Bluffsview

Thursday, October 29, 2009: We dressed up Andres for Halloween and took him trick or treating in our neighborhood. We dressed him up as a giraffe. He looked adorable! We didn't collect too much candy as we only wanted to introduce him to our neighbors. Everyone was so excited to meet him.
