My Family

Evita Pilar, Today you are three years old. THREE. It has been three years since I first felt your tiny hand clasp around my finger, three years since I first kissed your chubby little cheeks, and three years since I first looked into your beautiful eyes. It has been three years since I became a…

Eva only got two days of beach days this week, but she enjoyed them to the fullest. She’ll be three in three days. Damian has taken off with his walking. Another reminder of how fast life goes by. Damian’s biggest achievement this week is clapping. He claps when hears music or any rhythm, really. He…

Damian is getting better and better at his walking skills. He regularly “lets go” and walks between objects without any prompting for me! He’s gone up to 18 steps!! Crazy. He has also been pointing at things A LOT and he’s starting to say, “shhhhh,” haha.

Dear Damian, You are ten months old today!!! I feel like this last month was a big one in terms of growth and development. You took your first steps a couple of weeks ago, and since then you’ve been getting better and better at balancing and walking between objects. It won’t be long before you’re running…

Damian took his first steps this week! We were at my mom’s little get together for her birthday on Valentine’s when he did it. He can only take a few but he’s definitely getting the hang of it! It’s so exciting, but hard to imagine I won’t have a baby crawling around everywhere soon. And…

Still no walking! But getting more confident by the day. Damian’s still breaking three teeth and they seem to be coming in a lot more slowly than the first. Poor baby. He is sleeping better, though, so I guess they aren’t bothering him too much.

Dear Baby, To continue the countdown, in less than one month, you will be THREE. Ohmygoodness. I really need to buckle down on your birthday party planning. I think you would be better at it than I am. You regularly host tea parties with your stuffed animals, assigning them roles and duties. You do the same with your little…

Damian is still working on cutting what looks like three teeth right now. He started the week off pretty fussy but finally gave me an eight hour stretch of sleep last night for the first time in weeks. He hasn’t started walking yet but he’s standing on his own and letting go of things more…

Dear Damo, You have now been alive outside my tummy just as long as you were alive inside. It’s crazy how much faster time has flown by since you’ve arrived. You are now STANDING on your own for a few seconds at a time. I haven’t even begun to think about what I’m going to do…
