One-on-One Time

Yesterday was a fun day. My mom asked to watch Niko so they could have some bonding time. I dropped him off in the morning and picked up my grandpo, to come to the senior center with me. Che stayed with Jose and got all of the attention, something that doesn't happen much for him anymore. 

Here are set of photos from 3 different perspectives. 

Gramps

On the way in we grabbed McDonald's breakfast that we ate together in my office. Then, he was off to workout. After working out he had a donut and coffee in the dining room while meeting new people. He hit the treadmill one more time. I popped a bag of popcorn that he really enjoyed. My hopes are that we can continue this routine, I drop the kids off to my mom and pick him up. 

Niko

He got to spend the day with grandma. I gush about Niko all day so I"ll save it, but here are a few pics from his day. 

Kickin'

Che

They went to eat tacos, got haircuts and played in the tub. 

Week 5/52

I always thought I'd start cooking when I had kids. I never really dreamed of a wedding or family, but could envision family dinners because that's one thing I loved from my childhood. Thus far I haven't done that great. I loved nursing and resisted feeding solids as long as I could because it's so much work feeding a kid. When I'm around Che drinks a lot of chichi and doesn't eat a lot of real food so I'm working on that. 

Look at that beautiful baby. He doesn't seem to love being worn and the sleepy dust doesn't work as easily on him, but we'll practice. 

Week 4/52

I'm glad my kids have people who love them. My dad calls Che everyday or sends a text asking how the kids are doing. 

Week 3/52

My little Niko is so sweet. I love that squishy face. This photo was taken on my last day of maternity leave. We had a bit of a struggle getting him to take a bottle but he finally did it. Sorry baby that I'm leaving you, but I know the time spent with your dad will be priceless. 

Che is starting to play more independently. I love listening to his imagination.
