a quote

"While they are at your side, love these little ones to the uttermost. Forget yourself: Serve them; care for them; lavish all your tenderness on them. Value your good fortune while it is with you, and let nothing of the sweetness of their babyhood go unprized. Not for long will you keep the happiness that now lies within your reach. You will not always walk in the sunshine with a little warm, soft hand nestling in each of yours, nor hear little feet pattering beside you, and eager baby voices questioning and prattling of a thousand things with ceaseless excitement. Not always will you see that trusting face upturned to yours, feel those little arms about your neck, and those tender lips pressed upon your cheek, nor will you have that tiny form to kneel beside you, and murmur baby prayers into your ear.
Love them and win their love, and shower on them all the treasures of your heart. Fill up their days with happiness, and share with them their mirth and innocent delights.
Childhood is but for a day. Ere you are aware it will be gone with all its gifts for ever."
-George Townsend

letter to Kian, 3 months

Dear Kian,
i love you! you're only 3 months old and can't read my words but you probably already know how much i love you. I say it about a hundred times a day and even when i don't say it, those words are in my mind. Sometimes it's hard to believe how generous God has been to me... first i found your dad, and he found me, we found each other, became friends and soon realized we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together... a few years later you came into our lives, we made you "from scratch"... God made you for us... you're this brand new soul, perfect in every single way and you are ours. i get to spend my days watching you grow, feeding you, kissing your little feet and chubby cheeks, being amazed by you.
if that's not pure generosity, i don't know what is...

happy 3 months little one! 

2 months, 2 weeks, 2 days

in the last few days Kian has started to talk. his favorite word is agooooo and he has the cutest little voice. he also says things like aaahhh, and ooohhhh... it's pretty entertaining. he's awake for longer periods of time during the day and he's starting to smile at us.
we already put away his newborn clothes, they look so tiny now.
my classes started so a few nights a week Kian stays with Paul, and 2 mornings a week, he stays with Laila.
he's growing and changing really fast and i'm really thankful i can stay home and be with him during this time. i have to admit it can get a little boring some days and sometimes i really need to get out of the house, but it's all worth it... i can't wait for Kian to get a little bigger so we can do more activities together (aunque seguro voy a extrañar que duerma tanto que me da tiempo para hacer otras cosas).

this is what i come back to on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (i go to class from 7 to 9 am)

check out his hand! and his eyes! he's actually noticing toys now

still loving his baths (and the tub is getting small for him)

 

my boys!

sleeping like a baby

Last night Kian slept from 11:30 pm to 6 am. The best Ayyam-I-Há present for me! Usually he wakes up to eat around 12 am, 3 am and 6 am... that's when i usually get up and he goes back to sleep until 9... he definitely loves to sleep as much as i do, but he's got to eat too!
at night he always sleeps in his crib and on his back. but during his daytime naps, he usually sleeps on the boppy pillow and he gets a little more creative with the sleeping positions...

He likes to have company too...

baby's first Ayyám-I-Há

on Friday we went out and got a couple of gifts, including a new outfit for Kian. he loves to go out during the day and falls asleep anywhere whenever he gets tired. going out at night is a different story, but it's not that bad...

on Saturday we went to the Anello's... where Paul got to play some games with Seby, Franco and Chichi.

On Sunday we had a little potluck and gift exchange at Nadia and Willy's...

And we got this cute picture from cousin Keilani
