Our Life In Brooklyn

Fast forward a couple of years since the last post: there’s one more little guy in the house, Nico is going to school, and I have virtually no free time to speak of. That’s the short story. One of the things no one tells you before you have kids is that time, as you know […]

When it’s 25 degrees outside and windy, it’s hard to believe that just a couple of months ago we were able to be out and about just wearing shorts and t-shirts. But not only we did, we get to do it again – in November! Yipeee! I took a trip to the basement to pick […]

He is so much like a movie star. Not only he has a fan club, he also had a few wardrobe changes yesterday for Halloween. He was a business man for the first part of the show, and we took him trick or treating around the neighborhood. Brent made jokes about Nico losing is job […]

Having the park around the corner makes Fall that much better. The trees are red, yellow, orange, and some green. You walk around the neighborhood crunching up leaves. And it’s still nice outside, with Halloween around the corner, so we still get to have some fun before hibernation comes. They had a little party at […]

A nice summer breeze is coming in from outside, Nico is playing in his playpen and daddy is sipping a gin & tonic. A perfect summer night! Grandma (Abuela) Doli just left yesterday, she was here for a week, we all had a great time. Nico got tons of attention and I got a lot […]

The last few days have been really eventful for Nico. He met his uncle Jason Graham on Sunday and later in the day he took his first trip to Ikea. He seems to belong to the part of the family that is not a fan of Ikea because he slept through the whole thing in […]

That’s what he is doing right now. He spends most of the day chewing on anything in sight, preferably his hands or daddy’s arm. We haven’t figured out how to post the videos here properly so I’ll just put the links here for now: http://nico.mimoymima.com/nico39.html http://nico.mimoymima.com/nico40.html http://nico.mimoymima.com/nico41.html Summer in the city is fun so far!

She totally did. For Nico’s 3 month birthday, I gave myself a trip to the hair salon, and there was Mila with her expert scissors. I told her I was sick of my hair and she did the right thing: she got rid of most of it. I’m so in love with my neck now […]

That’s right, Nico will be three months on Thursday. He has all sorts of new tricks now – he loves to chew on his fist, he’s trying to grab things, and he laughed for the first time the other day. He also started watching a Spanish cartoon, Pocoyo, and he usually watches the whole episode […]
