Happy Valentine's Day Everyonne

Okay, really a cute video of Pau sitting up without support. He's doing quite well and is now free to use both hands to grab everything in his path. Better start getting into shape to keep up with this young one!

The Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena

Here we are on New Year's Day at the famous Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena. We got up early and watched a good portion of the parade on television before heading out to the actual parade route. We had a pretty good vantage point. It was a warm day and Pau found this to be an opportune time to take a nap! A few celebrity sightings we can boast about. We saw Jackie Chan waving from the Hong Kong Expo float. Also saw Jared the Subway guy on an American Sports Champion float. It was a fun day for all.

Drive to Palos Verdes

Jose, Pau, the Grandmothers and I drove up to the Palos Verdes Peninsula on New Year's Eve. We stopped at the Wayfarer's Chapel. It was a beautiful and spiritual place. The architect was the son of Frank Lloyd Wright.

Pau at SD Zoo!!!

We took Pau to the San Diego Zoo today. It was his first time. Can't say that he really enjoyed it because he went to sleep shortly after we arrived there. But here he is enjoying the flamingos!

It was chilly, but the zoo was decked out with Christmas lights for their Jungle Bells celebration. We were very lucky to see many animals tonight. We saw hippos, lots of monkeys, orangutans, gorillas, and the ever-elusive tigers!

Happy Christmas

Feliz Navidad to all! Looking forward to family coming in to celebrate the holiday later on this week.

We'll have two grandmas competing for baby's attention. God help us! I hope I can remember what he looks like in two weeks.

First Experience with Food is Great Success

So we decided to start solids today. We started with the standard rice cereal with milk and Pau loved it. He eagerly accepted the spoonfuls of rice and after each bite wanted more! This was not terribly messy. Most of the food went into his mouth and most of it was consumed. He did very well! Way to go little guy! Next week, we'll try some apples. I'll get a chance to test out the food mill and Pau will enjoy something with a bit more flavor!
