Well…930pm and Bexico is
in the recamara for round #2 with Senor Max. I will be up next…stay tuned.
Mañana the lil’hombre will
be turning 8 meses old!! Felicidades!!
Today was a good day,
another full day for all 3 of us. It sounds like the most fun was missed by
padre while he was out meeting con Roman.
Madre y Max had some roll
around in the grass time and also had some super fun alberca time. I guess a
lawn chair ended up in the wading pool with Max standing on the silla and
holding onto the back of the chair.
He loved it and spent time
dunking his head into the pool. Madre also spent time talking with a Mexican
madre who has a 8 month old hija. I guess the madres that Bex meets, are blown
away with what we allow Max to do and at what level his development is at.
Things that we are taking
for granted, swimming, crawling in the grass and even eating solids (soft
solids), are things these mothers cannot believe we are doing. Huh?
Maybe it is because he now
has that one bottom tooth!! It has come through and with the magic of Skype and
FT, the tooth has been witnessed by both sets of abuelos.
Lately we have seen Max
try to stand on his own and even walking…on his hands and feet…with his butt in
the air!!
Here are some fotos (off
the underwater camera…not the clearest…lo siento) of Max doing his thing around
the condo.
As for the rest of the
day, normal rutina except madre took the early shift AND did the walk. Doph…I
miss the walk so mañana I am dragging my butt out of bed no matter what.
Good session at the gym
and then raced home so I could get ready for the 4pm meet with Roman.
A good meeting…another 2
plus hour meeting. We reviewed EVERY detail that Bex and I had written down and
Roman and team have their marching orders.
Phase 3 is all about the
detailed CAD drawings for facades, architectural, foundation, structure,
utilities and facilities. This should take 3 weeks and we will then end up with
the detailed final quote!!
Some great clarity on a
few items…looking into using some bamboo for railings and security posts. Also
managed to clearly put the foot down on what type of sliding doors we want in
all the bedrooms. And one simple detail, that I think looks great but has the
added use of venting the rental, a block of small windows, similar to the ones in this
foto.
So, a successful meeting
and stay tuned.
Tried to grab some roti
pollo before heading home, but it was still on the spit…and we are not eating
under cooked pollo!!
Came home and started the
arroz and Max y madre went out to grab the pollo.
Max is doing so well
eating his dinner with us…a tad messy, but he likes feeding himself and lets us
know when he wants more. He is not the shy and quiet type when it comes to
food…and we know what side of the family that comes from!! Ja ja ja
Almost 11pm, Bex is up in
the oficina and I am finishing this post before calling it a day. Yes…the Niño
Whisperer was needed tonight, but only for a few minutes.
Misc
As it is now julio, I am
sure you want the weather stats from junio.
Last month we had highs
averaging 32,2 and lows at 26,5. This compares to 32,8 26,0 last year. Slightly
warmer nights.
As for comparing to mayo,
quite a bit (get it? Bitt!!) cooler as mayo had the averages of 34,7 and 28,0.
Last years julio had
average highs of 32,7 and lows of 25,9, so pretty much the same temperatures
for the next 3 months.
Mañana? Well, the walk con
Max for sure and then we will see what else happens. I do know Che is on the
list and I need to talk to Carlos at Nissan, about the trip. I guess Tony
cannot make it so I need to see if we are going or postponing. Stay tuned.
The rest of the fotos from
the day....tranquilo día...not much going on.
Pots for arbol y flores.
But I was more interested in the 2 cachorros.
Funny place Mexico. Here is a "shady" part of town with some cantinas and "dance clubs", but they take it upon themselves to plant some trees and construct some fencing around them. Trust me, the local government did not pay for this.
But they did pay for this...more road repair.
Many months ago, they dug up the road and repaved it. Now they have put down oil and loose gravel which was pressed into the mixture by a steam/road roller. Most of the hombres working earn $8 CDN per day.
Hasta mañana mis amigos.
Marco, Bexico y Max
