March Review: Part 1



Nighttime play with abuelito:


Haircut buddies:
(Mateo obviously didn't get the memo.  He thought I said hair-pulling buddies.)  I took him along with me to get my biannual haircut without realizing that the little guy would quickly become the star of the show.  No sooner was I sitting in the swivel chair than Mateo was occupying the adjacent seat, drawing all licensed hairdressers in the immediate vicinity to his side, cooing, calling, entertaining, and, yes, perhaps doing a bit of justificatory clipping around his little ears while all the other abandoned clients looked on with dangling curlers, foil and half-styled locks.  

Bedtime for bonzos:




Truer words have never been spoken:

Uncle Chuck Nagle's wisdom is confirmed in synchronizing this gift with Mateo's teething days.  (I use "days" very optimistically...the teeth haven't quite made their appearance yet, but we have to hope that it's coming along.)


Multi-generational love:

Talking to our moms:

I assume that Mateo is not the only little boy in the world who prefers a cell phone to all toys in the house.

I really miss you. Sort of a non sequitur, and maybe better expressed in a personal e-mail, but I am overwhelmed with that sentiment when I see this string of pictures. I hope you are printing hard copies of some of these.

It is also nice to see some mom-shots on the blog. You look beautiful, healthy and maternal. I really love the one of you two in the arm chair.

AWOL Mommy is so right...you look just radiant, Alex. Has motherhood agreed with anyone more? Your night-time rituals are so sweet. Mateo has wonderful shoes to fill with the men in your family. love, Tia Anna
