pictures of my little one

She squeals and makes agh noises. She recognizes mommy's voice and smiles when she hears daddy. She can watch the mobile on her crib for at least half hour, enough for mom to take a shower. She calms down while listening dad playing the guitar. She is a precious pearl with a lot of black hair :-)

Baby saying AHHHGOO

Estrella can say AHHHGOO now! she so tries to mimic the sounds we make. On Easter she said 'I love you' it wasn't that clear, but definately sounded like it.

The sweetest thing in life - almost 3 month old

I discovered that one of the sweetest gifts from God is to be able to sneak back into bed in the morning and snuggle up to my precious 3 month old. So close that I can almost taste the sweet baby smell, where I can touch the silky skin, while getting my face hit by the gentle jerks of a sleeping baby. ahhh today I was in heaven!

green addition

The guest house has been painted now. We chose a very pretty green, can't remember the name right now and I am pretty sure it had one those yummy type of name, like fresh sparagus, sautee bell pepper, or cute fat caterpillar, something like it.

Seven weeks old

Here are some pictures of Estrella and different visitors, also when we took Estrella to visit our old neightbor Mrs Mac. She was tickled to see Estrella.
Esrella is 7 weeks now, she is a cutie pie. She demands a lot of my time and even though I truly enjoy taking care of her, having her and the permanency of it has made me think about myself. What am I and what am I going to be, how much more am I going to need to feel fullfilled besides being a mom. I don't think I felt fulfilled with what I did in my life/career before Estrella came along, and now it seems that I could use motherhood to fill that hole. How long will that last before I start feeling the hunger for more again. Of course now, with a baby, it is more difficult to go after or try different things. Estrella is and always will be a big part of my life, I just think that I don't want to make her my whole life, it wouldn't be fair to her and in the end I would just be frustrated. I guess for now, I have no choice but to be a mom, and may be take the time to think and pray about opportunities to find something that will bring more fullfilment in my life. What if God only wants me to be a mom and a wife? i guess if that is so I would have to bow my knee to that and pray that He take away the yearning and desire for more

Estrella is five weeks now

Mi adorada Estrellita is 5 weeks tomorrow. Joel and I look at her and we still can't believe we have a daughter. She looks so beautiful to us that we are constantly staring at her. I am almost at the end of my LOA from work, one more week and I am expected back at work. I can't think of the idea of leaving her

drawing of my little sister

Finished before Estrella arrived! Will i ever have time to draw again? (typing with one hand is harder than
i thought)
