Christmas

Oh what a wonderful Christmas. We had so much fun spending the last week in Arizona with family. We can't wait till we move back and can be close all the time. Christmas eve we had the traditional Cuban feast with Bryant's family. It is always lots of fun to get together. Christmas we spent opening presents and eating lots of good food at different houses. One of the perks of having both families in Mesa is that there is always lots of people to see and lots of food to eat. We had Malisa's sisters help take a family picture of us while we were down. Tucker looks so cute (thank you Natalie).


Tucker did a really good job opening his Christmas presents. He even opened one before Malisa finished wrapping it.














All of us girls got Tinkerbell pajama pants to wear on Christmas morning. It was lots of fun.





It is good to be home even though we are counting the days (months for now) until Malisa has the next baby and we move back to Mesa (only 6.5 months)

What a month

November was Tucker's month to learn new things. At the begining of the month he only knew how to get around by bouncing on his butt. Now he moves around very fast on one foot and one knee. Tucker also knew had to stand while holding onto things but could not pull himself up. Eventually he learned that if he got on his hands and feet he could walk up things with his hands to get to a standing position and now he can pull himself up to a standing position. He has gotten really strong. One day this month he woke up in the morning and I went to get him out of bed and he was sitting up (another thing he learned how to do this month) and when he saw me he started clapping. It was cute that he just all of the sudden decided that he knew how to clap.
Tucker loves to babble. Bryant and I swear that he says that he loves us every now and again but I'm sure we are just imagining it more than anything. It has been a lot of fun to watch Tucker grow this month. I can't wait to see so many of you around Christmas it will be so much fun.

Oh ya about the pregnancy. I am actually doing pretty good. When I was pregnant with Tucker I was so sick all the time and threw up after everything I ate almost. I spent my days sleeping on the couch and doing nothing. With this pregnancy I have only thrown up on a few days. Most of my days a pretty alright. I feel a little nauseous most days but nothing that interferes with life most days. I have a lot of really good days where I hardly even notice that I am pregnant. I really hope it stays this way (especially for the long drive down to Mesa for Christmas--which I am so excited for!!!!).
