David vs. Ribs

David goes to town on the ribs! It was so much fun seeing him enjoy the ribs as much as I did. It was even more fun cleaning him up after he was done.

Ok... David is not happy that mommy is going crazy taking his picture. I believe that's the look of "would you please let me eat in peace please".

Yummy!!!

Soon David discovered that eating them with your hands just works better! For some reason the flavor is enhanced : )

Here David started nice and clean. This was his first try at eating baby back ribs. he was up fo rthe task at hand (or fork).

Ok, Let's fast forward to to June 2009. David is now 2 years old and full of energy. He loves Diego (Go,go) and Elmo. My good friend Daisy got us tickets to see Elmo live - When Elmo grows up. I believe we were both holding our breaths since we did not know what to expect from David and Leah. To our surprise both of the kids loved it! They dance and recognized many of the characters... I think they even sang (it was close to singing anyway). They behaved so well and really were entertained for an hour and a half. We will be going back to see Elmo - Elmo goes green in October. Can't wait! BTW, we will be going to see Dora live in a week. I will post pictures of that outing as well. keeping my fingers crossed that we have a wonderful experience.

The first time I held you

I think the look in my face says it all. My angel had arrived and he was perfect!!!

Uncle Ferny in awe with David

One thing I know is that my brother Ferny probably desired David as much I did. He would always tease me about hurry up and give me a nephew or niece already. We all fell in love with David the moment we saw him. I fell in love with David the moment I conceived him (maybe even before that).

May 18th, 2007. I had waited for this day all my life. I had dreamed of David for so long. There was this desire in my heart to have my own child. I do not believe I ever wanted anything or anyone more than I wanted David. Finally at the age of 38 God gave me the most precious gift I could have imagine. God gave me David Matthew. David was born at 37 weeks, weigh 5 lbs and was 17 inches. He was perfect!!!! He was sweeter than an angel, he was my darling angel. David came into this world at 8:08 AM. David was welcomed into this world by his uncle Ferny, Titi Marie Rosa and grandpa Cesar. The nurse at the hospital told me that David was small but mighty!!! Small he no longer is. He has caught up and then some.

Where do I start?

Today is the first day of David's blog (7/28/09). Thanks Daisy for setting me up and getting me started. My name is Lidi and I am David's mom. I am a single mom that is learning as I go what it is to have a little one running around almost 24/7. I am thankful to my family and friends for helping me along the way. Thank you uncle Ferny for putting your life on hold for 7 months to help me care for David. I can not thank you enough for the midnight shift you took on soon after David was born. You have been like a father to David. He loves you dearly!!!!

I have created this blog so that my friends and family that are far away can keep up with David. Hope you all enjoy reading the stories.

Here we go, I can not believe that my little guy David is 26 1/2 months. Feels like I just brought him home from the hospital yesterday. We have had many adventures, surprises and scary moments. God has been good and has always got us through everything! Let see, what can I tell you about David... He is a happy, fun loving boy. He is gentle in nature but has a stubborn streak in him (wonder who he got that from? ). David loves to dance and is crazy about Thomas the Train. He has started a new day care and seems to be doing great. He has brought art work home already. He is the next Picasso in the making : ) Currently, we are trying to expand his taste buds likes. I was so proud that he actually tried a small bite of my California roll this weekend. I hope he ends up loving sushi as much as I do! I will add as we go. Enjoy!!!!
