Buenos tardes amigos!!

610pm and Max is half way through his rutina. Sounds like everything is going well over there….in the bathing area.

Max is learning new things all the time and today we saw him grab his own spoon while we were feeding him. He tried to stick the spoon through his neck, but hey, we all gotta start somewhere.

615pm…Oh Henry in the bath alert? Oh Max!!

We had a great day again. Bex y Max were up at 630am and I took over at 830am.

We had our morning walk as well as a nap and had a good time at Gabriels. There Max was surrounded by his otra familia. There were no less then 10 peeps who were calling out his name…a little over whelming for the lil’hombre.

I unslung him and had him on my lap, sin gafas, and everyone wanted to see his eyes and see him smile.

There are very few peeps we would trust to hold Max, but today there were 2 at Gabriels. First off was Daphne, esposa de Daniel. She is great with Daniel Jr and looked surprised and excited when I handed her Max.

Best part was looking at Daniel, knowing the two of them will be discussing a 2nd niño soon!! Ja ja ja

And then who else had the honor? A great padre himself, and a hombre who is hardly bigger then Max himself.


Yup, Betto!! Daniel told me that kids love Betto and Betto has always showed respect to Max and the two of us. As a matter of fact, Betto was the very first person to ask if Bex was pregnant.

Before coming home, pit stopped at Papaloapan to grab the rib eyes. All 4 of the butchers stopped what they were doing to say hola to Max and remind me that the last time I was in, I had told them he was Tom Cruise (due to the shades). Fun times…even at the carnecero.

Here are the rest of the 9am fotos.

Update on the palapa next door. The side slats are now installed.


Next step...the palm leaves.


Maybe this is why we had internet issues?


Many big bags of "herbs".


It was a fast process...maybe a 9am disconnect from MegaCable?


Staff arriving for work...at the cantina!!


We made it home and the two hot hombres cooled down before we needed to wake madre up for leche.

Here is Max cooling down.








We all got ready to go and we walked to the tianguis/mercado that is across the calle from Isssste. Our goal? To find some sleeveless t-shirts for Max, that would cost less then the $5 Cdn each, that Old Navy has for sale on line.

If we don’t find anything, Bex will order on line and mis padres will bring it down with them when they come in abril.

First few stalls we find nothing except items too small (chico) or too touristy. As we are headed out, a senorita points us to one last stall and there we scored!!

We ended up grabbing 4 muscles shirts for the pricely sum of $100 pesos…$8 Cdn. And I have been excited about this purchase all day!! Por que? Because of the price and because of the fact that we have found a tienda that carries items Max will wear for the next few years!!

He is already wearing some items labeled for 9 months and the way the niño is growing…ja ja ja

The two of them headed home to get ready for Mojon and I had a quick work out at el gimnasio.

Good weights only workout and then headed home and we hit the road. And when we got to Mojon? Windy again? Maybe we didn’t notice the wind before we had Max? It would have been a great day for us, nice breeze etc. But if the lil’hombre cannot leave his stroller because of the blowing arena, that is no fun!!

So after 90 minutes or so, we packed up and headed home. Disappointed for Max…but there will be lots of other days where we can go.

On the way home, we detoured and looked at some very nice casas in Sector O. Obviously some $$ up in that neighborhood, but lots of ideas for what we would like our casa to look like.

Home for 430pm or so and Max just chilled and had some leche, while we unpacked and cleaned up. Madre headed out to grab some verdura, un pollo y pit stop at the tienda de telas (fabric store).

And while madre was out…hello lounge time for Max y Bubba. We lay on the bed and read some crazy Dr Seuss rhymes. And when we got to the last page, Max let out a screech that was so high pitched and loud, I had to check my hearing!!

As for the pit stop at the tienda de telas…I am getting great wear out of some Nike compression shorts, but they seem to fall apart by the elastic waist band.

Solution? Off to the tienda de telas where you ask for a “doble costura” and for $10 pesos, they will double stitch the area that was falling apart. Ta da.

Bex was home and we started the rutina and you are all caught up. One change in the rutina. After feeding Max, I had the honors of getting him to zzz as madre has thrown her back. Ouch. I tweaked mine the other day…picking up 8.5 kilos of hijo!! Ja ja ja

Ok, our mañana?

Clean the casa, hit the pool (if Max is feeling 100%) and hello to Nascar!! Must remember the clocks changed so the race time is one hour earlier here!!

Have a great domingo.

Marco, Bexico y Max
