We went to the Shedd Aquarium today. We like fish and watching kids!

Oh, what a fun day. We went to the Aquarium today to check out the fish. What a fun time for us all. Joaquin really enjoyed watching the fish swim around, but he also really loved watching all the high-energy kids run around, too. He did so well in his big seat on the stroller, sitting straight up and looking around.

After the Aquarium he got pretty hungry, so Papi fed him a little bottle in the car. Guess what!? Joaquin feels big enough to hold his own bottle (mostly!) and even take it in and out of his mouth when ever he wants. I cannot believe how well he did with it since he probably hasn't even had 15 bottles in 5 months.... seriously!

Here are the photos and videos of our day. Not a lot of pictures of fish, I went with a camera with an almost dead battery. Nice planning, mami!

Are you taking photos again?



The elusive Mami and Baby photo. :-)



Kissing me. Again. Again. Again again....



More photos. It's hard to look cute All The Time.



A short video at the Aquarium. Typical staring at camera baby, too.




Holding my own bottle. That's right. I can do it myself. Once you take the lid off.


Look at what I can do...

I am 5 Months Old now!

Holy smokes. This month flew by. It may have something to do with all the fun we are having or the fact that at least a few days a week we get better weather. On Thursday the 17th Joaquin turned 5 Months Old. Goodness! We celebrated by seeing a friend at lunchtime, recording an interview for a local radio station about tango, having a bath and drinking a lot of milk. Sounds like perfection for a baby, huh?

Here are our photos from mami's 5 Month photo shoot.

Yeah. I am 5 months old.



Hanging out with my guacamaya puppet and smirking.



A new position for the chair. And some drool.



Don't tell Papi we let Samui in the nursery and in the chair. ;-) It was a special occasion.



Here are two "out-takes" from our photo shoot.

We got a LOT of feet in the air shots. Someone loves to play with his toes.



And Samui was bored of this game and desperate to leave. Can you tell?






FINALLY..... We have rolling as of 4.5 Months. This is a really really long video but it's what happens when your baby decides to roll from front to back to avoid Tummy Time. Now it's very hard to get him to stay on his belly for too long.





And a few more photos from the past few weeks.

My newborn hat from Prentice doesn't fit, mami.

I would like to play in the Johnny Jump Up but my armpits are still too low. Stupid armpits.

Trying out the Big Boy Seat for the stroller before putting it on. We did go for our first walk in it on Friday. It's FUN!

Mmmm.. I can eat a Carrot. I can gag on a Carrot, too.

Hahhaha. This is from last night. Don't watch if you are squeamish about drool and baby gags or mami's that snort and gasp from laughing/mocking their kid.

He loves his Organic Toys. We have a Banana that goes in the car, this Carrot and some Grapes. The Grapes are no where near as fun as these toys that gag.

It's long. Enjoy!
