We Moved!!!

To all of those that know us, know that we have been living in a condo ever since we pretty much moved to Miami. When Alexander was born we were in a condo, Alexander's first foot steps were in a condo, Alexander's first words, 1st birthday party, 1st EVERYTHING was in a condo, BUT!!!!!!!! Now we have moved to a single family 1950's Miami house, and I must mention with a beautiful back yard. Long story.... but to make the story short, the house that we moved into was the house of a very close friend and colleague of mine. It has a lot of meaning to her, and believe it or not it has huge meaning to us, even though we did not live there. It was the place where we had our first baby shower, and so that's why this house already has a special place in our hearts! 

                                                                      Our Baby Shower

The move went very smooth as Manny and I like to describe it… See below how great of a helper Alexander was through out the whole moving process.

And...

Who would have thought that in this back yard, 2 years later we would be having Alexander run, climb, sit and have a blast? Answer:  Not in a million years...

So, if you see our backrounds and a backyard in my new updates, it's because we have moved!

Cheers to our new home, and as we will call it from now on Alexander's Backyard!

We love every minute of Alexander’s time in our new house. Including his excitement when ever we park in front of the house, and he screams out, “YAYYYYY the house” and when he speaks to the lizards, and tells them, “Hi my name is Alexander what is yours” and tells the ants, “Go Away… Go away ants… pao..pao…”

We Hope to enjoy many memories is our new house.

2011 - The Show Must Go On

I realize that March 1 is a bit late to be reporting on all of the Christmas shenanigans but I have to be honest with you and tell you that's it's not because I have not wanted to write but because Mom & Papa have been having so much fun with you, that it has given me very little time to sit down and write all of the million things that we are doing with you on a daily basis.  

You are no longer this cute little baby that would lie down in our arms and just look at us like weird people.

You are now a two year old full of life, freedom, independence, know it all, sweet, charming, intelligent little person. For the past couple of months we have traveled to Key West, Mexico, and Maryland. We have visited very important people in our lives.

In these past couple of weeks, we have had some very priceless moments with you. Starting with Papa teaching you how to ride a bike. 

We have also had very fun and entertaining dinners at home with some of the best people in this world. 

                              

                                                                  Tio Emmanuel

                                                                      Tio Orville

In regards to new mile stones in your life, you are speaking a lot. You are also singing more than before, you know all of your letters from A - Z, numbers 1-10, colors, and shapes. Also, you have been spending quite a bit with your buddy Milan.

 Last but not least I must report that you love to point out airplanes, bus, firefighters (as you like to say weo weo), Trucks, and the list goes on….

                                       It has been a blast with you my big little Xander's!!!!

Catching Up on Days

Xander's! My gosh it's been a while since I sat down and thought about the many new things that you are now doing, for example climbing out of your crib, eating alone, speaking much more, mastering the langueges of  English and Spanish, and the list goes on and on...

In regards to special events - Your titi nexi, Tio hector & Emma came down to Miami for to visit us. You had a blast with Emma. We even took you guys to a Heat basketball game, and ate deliouse bananna and strawberry panckakes. You also have had some time to spent time with your Amigo Milan, and David. Little by little you both have been recignizing that you will be amigos for a while so sharing is caring. :)

 

You been enjoying the fall very much - with Thanksgiving a couple of days away, you had a Thanksgiving lunch with all of your friends and teachers. it was great. Mami over here had to make Turkey sanwiches... and I heard that they were a great hit!

 

We are looking  forward to going to Orlando for Thanksgiving and celebrating it with our family and friends from over there! Stay tuned for stories and plenty of pictures.

Costumes

Hi Xander's!  Wow... This weekend was a blast! We celebrated what is called here in the US "Fall Harvest" - and what others call Halloween. You were the cutest thing in the world. You had two costumes. Super Man, and a cute fuzzy bear that was given to you by your buddy Milan his parents. You were able to wear both of these costumes a couple of times since we had several of events that called for them. Through out this time you had your fall Harvest Concert at school, Your Tio Adrian's 30th birthday party, Halloween on the Mile, Yo Gaba Gaba concert, and last but not least Halloween day in which you also wore a costume. It was so much fun to hear everyone's awww... and uhhhh when they saw you.

Also miles and miles away, your primita Emma and Analise were also wearing their costumes. I had to post it in today's blog, because they looked the cutest! Should I say, the cutest two little girls out of all the costumes, and kids that we saw this weekend? :) Next year we hope to get you, Analise, and Emma together so that you guys can have fun and enjoy yourself in new costumes. Stay Tuned for next year....  

The Big 2!

Alexander - Yesterday you turned 2! We can't believe it. As I was telling papa, time flies when you're having fun.

Let's just say that we have been celebrating your birthday since two weeks ago. Last year we decided to have a huge birthday party for your first birthday, but this year we decided to do it a bit different.

Two weeks ago we went ahead and left to Orlando, Florida - We went to Disney World! It started off with breakfast with the characters. Titi Nexi also joined us with your primita Analise, and Emma, also including our friend Anibal and baby Anibal as well. We had a blast. It was the first time you have ever had some type of encounter with any huge character, and I must say that you did amazing!

It was also priceless to see you with Analise & Emma - Ana with her sweet smile, and Emma making you hold her hand. After breakfast we walked around, and were able to share some time as a family.

During breakfast we were able to take pictures with Donald Duck and Goofy! The breakfast was incredible.

We then, headed to our hotel which was also in Disney property, and headed to the hotel pool. Your abuelita Fanny, came over and joined us. You had a blast.

In the evening, Titi Nexi, Tio Hector, Titi Tata, Emma, Analise, Anibal & baby Anibal joined us for dinner at the hotel. Then we all headed to Downtown Disney. 

Disney Day - Disney World was "Magical". You're a big fan of The Mickey Mouse Club House cartoons, so to you going to Disney World was like being in another world.

I think the pictures and videos will say it all, and I can't wait to take you again.

After Disney World, we left back to Miami, and on the actual day of your birthday we decided to take cupcakes to your classroom, and have you enjoy your birthday with all of your friends.

At the end of the day we then celebrated it with all of our amazing close friends that we share a lot of our time. Actually, they are also all of your babysitters, when Mama and Papa want to go out on an outing. These people are terrific and we hope that they stay part of your life forever!!!! Also let’s special thank them for their friendship, and love that they have offered you since the day that you were born!

Thank you: Padrino, Titi Rosdaysi, Titi Kristen, Tia Naty, Tio Adrian, Titi Jessica, Tio Oscar, and also abuelita Ivette that also attended your celebration. It was so much fun! We played Ping the Donkey, sang you happy birthday, and you opened all of your presents!

We love you Xander’s! You bring joy to our hearts!!! We pray that God gives you many years to enjoy what God, and what Papa and Mama have to offer you. You have been an inspiration to our lives! Thank you for being our son – Adrian Alexander Sanchez! 2 and many more!!!!!!
