The Adventures of Bexico, Bubba y Max

Why Max is assuming "the position", we are not sure.

Well, the attempt at getting Max to sleep in his cuna…is over.

After several days of trying, and after several cradling sessions last night, it just isn’t the right time.

Anoche, we put him back in the bed he is familiar with, and he was lights out. We would rather continue down this route, knowing he is happy and getting a good sleep. Thank goodness we bought the king size colchone!!

815pm and madre y Max are doing their best to get him tanked up and then asleep…fingers crossed.

The day went well, but no alberca time as the day just slipped away. As well, my walk with Max did not happen, but was done by madre…doph.

Instead of a walk, we had 2 hours of chest time…no one is complaining. Ja ja ja

So, throw in el gimnasio and a trip to Che, and that sums up my day. Muy tranquilo.

Great workout at the gym and the familia had a fun time at Che as not only did we have some good scores (hola to mas cheddar!!), but it is always nice to have peeps stop and talk about Max.

On that note, madre y Max were in Oxxo (our 7-11) and were chatting up some out of town Mexicanos when she said something that was not meant to be funny, but easily could be (doble sentido…double meaning) and who starts laughing? Only our friendly neighborhood Vitel amigos, Amy y Victor.

Those guys are fun and really enjoy talking to us…almost too much. I am upstairs about to shower, the front door is closed and all I hear is the constant buzzing of our door buzzer.

I go down and it is Amy, with our garaffon, and he just wants to talk and let me know he has seen Max y Bex in the centro. Better to have overly excited amigos then no friends at all.

And what do they do with the propina we leave them everytime they lug up 19 litros of agua to our condo?

Caught eating again. Hilairious.

The rest of the fotos.

Lots of young peeps here, get their starts in the kitchens of the major hotels in Tangolunda.

Update on the new arbol.

You would have to be so lost to even find this sign, which is in the middle of a residential neighborhood.

By el gimnasio, a parque where Max can play.

Ayer, Bex had a Skype with a possible client and it all went well. Stay tuned.

Meanwhile she putters on the remaining work she has as we know that it comes in waves for her and lots of work is just on the horizon.

Just saw a commercial for Lotto Max…hmmmm.

Misc…Bex y Max picked up the light cover…$450 pesos? No discount for awesome niño y yummy mummy?

Last fotos.

Left side...tight...tight like a tiger.

Right side? More bum lifts?

Da plane, da plane.

Ok mis amigos, have a great jueves.

Marco, Bexico y Max

Ok…we now know Max is teething…and not liking it one bit…get it Bitt?

We doped him up tonight (niño Tylenol) as he was one unhappy customer and there was NO way we were going to get him to drink up the leche and fall asleep.

And The Niño Whisperer is losing his confidence as his co-Captain had to come in and close the deal. The lil’hombre was asleep not once, twice three times…nope he was asleep 4 times and woke up each time I out him in his cuna. Doph.

But Bex came in and saved the day.

So at 930pm, Storage Wars is on, Max is asleep (and still breathing…phew) and Bex is headed up to the oficina and about to have a Skype with a potential new client. Cha ching!!

UPDATE

935pm and guess who is awake and unhappy. Doph….I might be headed in there soon so Bex can conduct her Skype….stay tuned.

A good day and our lil’alarm clock was up at 7am…even though he fell asleep at 10pm. Huh? Oh well, we got up and after 30 minutes of getting myself arranged, it was time for breakfast.

The lil’guy is eating up a storm and today was no different. He is on solids now…like I can’t tell by looking at his panale…ja ja ja. But he is supposed to drop a boobie feeding and so far he hasn’t. We know what side of the family the appetite comes from!!

A good walk today and found some good features on the waterproof camera.

Hello to Panoramic mode...it splices 3 fotos together!! Taken from in front of the iglesia, this is the zocalo. If you double click on the foto, you will get a full size view.

The camera is great for underwater and now panoramic shots…not the best for the everyday regular shots…and the auto setting sucks!!

UPDATE

10pm and we have moved him back into our bed. Not his fault he learned to sleep with us and now that we are trying to get him to fall asleep somewhere he is not used to, it is difficult.

Throw in a sore tooth and ta-da. So we practice patience and also try to show him as much love as possible.

Back to the día.

Roman was back at 10am and he fixed the ventilador in Max’s bedroom. He has also found a replacement light cover for the one that broke, but today that tienda was closed both times we went there. Hola to Mexico…sometimes there is no rhyme or reason for why a store is open or closed.

After he was done, we reviewed some possible changes on the Mojon plans…moving the pool solves our parking issue. Hoping to have update CAD drawings soon.

He hit the road to meet with Sergio and I was bushed. So I hit the hay and doph…2 hours later I was up and ready to hit el gimnasio.

Madre had the bulk of the día with Max and she too had a rough night’s sleep so at the end of the day I took care of him so she could slow down and have some Bex time.

But before that occurred, I had a good session at the gym, making up for the lame a** session I had ayer. Then it was off through centro, no luck at the lighting store, but did grab some good molida res at Papalopan. Two days in a row for ground beef there…much better tasting then the stuff I have been buying at Che.

Then off to say hola to the gang at Gabriel’s, where Vicky has rejoined them after a short comedor venture.

And who else did I see there?

That is Daniel Jr, Daniel’s hijo.

Nice to catch up and then it was time to head home.

Here are the rest of the fotos from the walk.

Construction at the tiengas.

New electrical and like many governments...let's spend some $$ on a sign to tell everyone we have spent $$.

$730,113.35 pesos...$55,102.89 Cdn.

Meanwhile...Back to The Future.

Ahhh Mexico. Two pallets to warn peeps of some recently filled in bache, pot holes.

Now if you are driving at night without headlights, like many motos here do...doph.

Round 2 on the Pizza Express. It has been closed for almost un mes.

You see this often here. Have tools, will travel and work.

The friendliest over drinker in town. Here he is wearing one of the free playeras given out by one of the Presidential candidates.

I was told that on the day of the election, primero de julio, it is illegal to sell alcohol. Hmmm. And old school voting, they dip your thumb in ink to prove you have voted.

When I got home to the condo, I bumped into the gatito (kitten) that had roamed our condo yesterday.

Hey, a perro is a dog. A perrito is a small dog and a cachorro is a puppy. A gato is a cat, why is a gatito a kitten?

Anyway, madre brought out Max, who had already been crawling around in the grass. And here the fotos.
