Guess who is back?

Dear Augosto,

I know it's been a while since I written. So many things have happened since the last time I wrote. So many things.

Here is a short list of them:

--You turned 5 months old.

--You are eating actual food now. First we started you off with rice cereal and then introduced you to sweet peas, sweet potatoes, squash and green beans. At times, I think sweet potatoes are your favorite but then there are other times that you wolf down sweet peas and green beans like they are the best thing you have ever tasted.

--You are drinking water now. Not a lot. A few sips here and there. You would drink a lot more but a lot of what you drink ends up rolling down your chin and soaking your bib.

--Grandma Lopez came to visit you. I don't know who had more fun. You or her.

--You are talking a lot more. A lot lot more. When describing your "talking," most times it seems like you are trying to communicate with dolphins. Either that or velociraptors. But there are other times when I clearly think you are saying, "MOM!" But it's more like "MAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGMMMM."

--You're walking. OK. Just kidding on this one. But you are standing a lot more. We bought a walker for you that is still a bit too big for you but all you need is about another inch and you'll be actually touching the floor. Then walking will come in no time.

--You're a big fan of Dr. Seuss books. The Lorax. One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Oh, The Thinks You Can Think. There is also one more book that you like but it's not a Dr. Seuss one. It's called Cinco Monitos Brincando En La Cama(Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed). I think you like that one mostly because it is sturdy enough for you to turn the pages.

--You've outgrown your bassinet. This past weekend, we brought you down here to Evanston for the weekend and we planned on having you sleep in your bassinet like you usually do. No luck. It would have probably worked if you didn't move around so much when you sleep(I think you get that from your mother).

Well, there is so much more I want to say but I'll leave it for tomorrow and so forth.

Hope you are enjoying the sun.

Love.

Dad.
