Between maple syrup and hot salsa: A day with the Mexicans

I went back to work a few weeks ago, and I feel we have got into a nice routine.

Since I am working just for 4 hours a day, 4 days a week, it is not stressful at all.

Fer usually wakes up around 7 am, so we all do the same, hahaha.

I change his diaper, take him into our bed and we play with him for a bit.

Then is feeding time, follow by wiping his face and get him all cute and clean to go over Carissa's.

Then is time for mami to get ready. A quick shower (while Fernando is happily playing in his crib), some quick breakfast, and put on some decent clothes, hahaha.

I drop off Fernando around 9:30ish, and off to work.

Then at 2 I get off work and go and pick up my little guy. I usually spend like an hour at Carissa's. We have coffee or tea, chat about daily stuff, then some design topic is a must, and then time for me and Nando (I love when Beckett says it) to go home.

We get home, relax a little bit, playtime with Fer, and then cook something for supper (while watching some mexican tv on the computer).

Papi gets home around 5:30 or 7:30 depending on which shift he is working. He usually plays with Fernando, or he plays some guitar to him :) (one of my favorite padre e hijo (dad-son) moments.

Around 8 is bath time, then last bottle of the day for Fernando, and bedtime.

That is pretty much what we do on weekdays. But this weekend Fernando has been doing a couple of new things that makes me smile when I see him doing it.

First, I noticed that he is paying more attention to cloth books, and I couldn't resist to snap a photo while he was "reading" :)

Then today, I decided to try one more time the sippy cup. Last time that I tried to teach him how to sip, he wasn't really into it. Today was a totally different story. On the second try he got it :)

And again, first thing that mami (mommy in Spanish) did was to grab the camera and snap a photo and why not some video, hahaha
