One fuerte, strong, niño!!

Due to an overwhelming amount of requests for videos, HERE is one of the lil'man, hot off the press. It is titled "1:51 in the day of the life of Max". Enjoy!!

Ok, onto our día.

A quick bedtime, 30 minutos con madre and 20 con Poppa. Lights out in the cuna. Max is still having lots of dreams and had his usual pre-10pm wake up, staring at the corner of the room before laying back down and falling asleep.

Only 2 wake ups during the noche and both were resolved with a little hand on the back action. Good news in the sleep department? Max slept the complete noche in his cuna!! The so-so news? The noche ended at 545am. Ja ja ja

If he wakes up at 430am or 5am, we can usually get him back to sleep and sometimes score another 2 hour sleep cycle. A 545am wake up and all he does is smile and enjoy the rocking I am giving him, trying to get him back to sleep.

Videos until 7am and then onto Palacio time and then desayunos. I thought breakfast was going to be tough as he said he did not want anything but huevos, but I got him to eat a huge bowl of oatmeal (con canela...of course, as Max would say), salchichas, all his fruta sin mango AND his huevos.

Oh, and throw in a Gerber bottle of prunes...which if I had waited 15 minutos I would have discovered they were not needed!! Ja ja ja

The plan was to run some errands and then get back home in time for familia swim, pre-siesta. But...after a pit stop at the banco, then off to get some blood drawn, pit stop at the hospital to confirm they have a supply of the flu shot for the lil'man, then to Fonatur to drop off our recycling...and then onto Che for a huge order ($1200 pesos)...we were already at 10am and Max was looking pooped.

So off for leche con madre and then into siesta mode. Poppa joined in on some of that action and the next thing you know, it was a shorty 90 minuto siesta and Maxo was listo...ready to go.

Off to the pool for the familia swim and then Poppa got ready for el gimnasio and the familia cooked their comida together. Max loves cooking!! Soon there will be 2 people that do the cooking here...oh Bubba!!

I hit the gym and then off to make the cita con el doctor, grab the blood test results (more on that later) and then home to putter around before clean up time and cena prep. Hola hola to pollo muslo y arroz para la cena!!

The familia ate their comida then headed out to the far end of playa Chahue for some prowling, and then they were off to Rosario's Palacio.

All good with the familia and Max had his first brush with a physically pushy niño. I guess Skyler was having a mood and gave Max a hard shove. Max, not having experienced anything like that before, was taken aback, but Bex had a good chat with him and if you ask him what happened, he will tell you that Skyler pushed him...and then was given a time out by his madre!!

Home for leche y la cena, the dance party, tina time, FT con Oma y Opa and then during bedtime, a FT con Grandma Rosie. Round one is under way...buen suerte.

So...onto the fotos.

Maxo ready for some familia swim time.


But first he is getting muy emocionado about the shipment of Lego that was ordered on eBay, sent to Victoria BC and then onto some place in Alberta and then finally arrived into Huatulco via our amiga Roseanne.




Typical Van issue...too much noodle to deal with. Oh Max.


Our lil'scuba man.







From ayer, Max at the skatepark.










Misc fotos.

Spotted this on the way home from el gimnasio. This is an ad for the Corona Mega. Would you prefer 2 of these 1.2 litro bottles for $48 pesos, roughly $4 Cdn?


Or one of the Familiar size, 960ml, for $23 pesos...just under $2 Cdn.


2.4 litros of cerveza for $4 Cdn? Craziness!!

Our lil'architect busy at work with his Lego.


And use #98 for an iPad?


That was Max tanquing up pre-cena. Madre? Sneaking in a few minutos personal time!!

Misc tidbits.

It got hot around here pretty quick. Only enero and we felt a big difference in the humido. Love Huatulco...hate the humido...argh. No crisis...more time at the playa and in the alberca!!

How is Bubba's health? Glad you asked. I had more blood work done this morning, with Maxowaxo watching in amazement as the sangre flowed from my arm into the needle. Picked up the resultados this afternoon and everything is in the normal range. Score!!

I set up an appointment with our local doc, Doctor Carillo and will see him on jueves for an exam. Stay tuned.

How am I celebrating the results? A Crown Royal!! The first "drink" I have had since I had a few cold ones with mi amigo in Whistler!!

Bex uses the crappy Sony DSC W730...and gets better results then I ever did!! Any who...I used to be able to take maybe 75 fotos before the battery needed to be recharged. The new Canon T3i? I have taken 851 fotos and no need to recharge yet. Score!!

After posting the link to yesterday's news story, the response of "that happens to me too!!" was so overwhelming, that I browsed the web for another interesting story, and courtesy of The Vancouver Sun, HERE it is. Enjoy!!

Bex tiene gripe...she has a cold. Time for Poppa to step up!!

Ok, you are all caught up.

Have a great miercoles.

Hasta mañana.

Marco, Bexico y Max
