2013

I know, it's 2014, but 2013 was definitely the best year so far. I wouldn't say it was fun or easy, but that's what made it so fantastic. I married a pretty decent looking, successful, caring dude that makes me pee in my pants laughing at 3am on a regular basis. 

I moved to the other side of the world, and although it took about six months to see the light, it's looking pretty bright. It's made me work on myself, and I know I'll look back and appreciate this experience. I discovered that being yourself is the fastest way to a satisfying life, and it's ok if not everyone likes me. 

Most importantly, a better version of Peter and I came into existence, and she makes us realize that sleep really isn't THAT important (although Peter may disagree). 

She's pretty perfect, and has taught me that being present is the only way to live. 

We also survived flying back to San Diego without being yelled at by annoyed passengers on British Airways. 

All in all, 2013 has been a pretty big confidence builder, and a lesson in spirituality, ego and love. Being an adult is pretty cool, and letting go of certain things is even cooler. 

Cheers to Peter surviving and making it to 2014! It was a close one. 

Eating Alone

Mom, back in the early years, used to be really self conscious. She'd make it a point to straighten her hair EVERYDAY in order to make sure it was perfect, she tried to dress cool (and in Europe that's extra daunting), and she'd never, I repeat, NEVER, would think about eating at a restaurant alone. 

Well, I'm happy to report that while I play the park with grandma and grandpa, mom is eating ALONE, with frizzy/curly hair, wearing a (questionably ugly) sweater, comfortable Converse shoes, and is loving every second of it.

Turns out, being yourself really is awesome! Thanks partially to dad for helping with her transformation by telling her her hair looks awesome, and for being gone a lot. 

PS, I know I'm only eight months, but I demand to go on the swings everyday! 

I love trash.

Exhibit A 

Thankfully my dirty diapers are stored in a separate container. 

Also, mom is REALLY sick, so in order to keep me quiet, dad let me play with one of his harmonics. 

Oh mom...

She can be pretty dumb sometimes. I've been sick and super congested, so mom decided to use this nose sucker thing in order to try and help me breathe (while holding me down like a psych patient). Well, after four straight says of sucking out my snot, she caught my cold!! Hahahaha. I hate that stupid thing! Serves her right! And now she's pushing me around the park, when it's like 3 degrees outside, because the doctor said too! She had no clue what she was getting into when she decided to bring me around. 

I will always win. 

I'm sick!

My apologies to my blog fans! With dad in Dallas for the week, I decided to catch my first cold!! It's been very exciting! I don't sleep, stuff keeps coming out of my nose, and I'm coughing. Mom looks horrible because I keep her up ALL night and nap during the day in the park with the grandparents (while she does my laundry at home). 

Things I do when dad is away...

I make big messes.

I eat carpet. 

Mom fished this out of my mouth. 

I try and bite mom when she tries to take my carbs away. 

I kick mom out of the beanbag chair! 

I smush carrots and zucchini between my fingers. 

I walk on my knees...sort of.

And what does dad do when he's away? 

Pretends he's a Navy Seal after buying $300 night vision goggles from Bass Pro. 

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!! 

Dad is so awesome! He said he hopes aunt Sandra doesn't see his belly in the background and that she sends it to her new boyfriend! Hahaha. 

I'm celebrating by eating cooked pears after sleeping for like 12 hours! Cheers!
