Como es tradicion en nuestra familia, normalmente festejamos Navidad en El Paso con TODA nuestra familia. El 24 con mi familia y el 25 con la familia de mi esposo. Este ano decidimos quedarnos en casa ya que estoy a un mes de dar a luz. Decidimos que era buena idea que Aiko naciera a medio camino.

We had family over recently and we relaxed by the pool and Enlai is just sitting by the pool enjoying the weather.

His hair is getting so long and he likes to have it in a Mohawk!!

Enlai loves to be with his mommy and here they go shopping!!

Here is a lesson Enlai will never forget!! NEVER FALL ASLEEP WITH YOUR AUNT KK!! Klaudia has done some funny things, but here she gives him long hair and Enlai loves to play and recently ALL he wants to do is stand!! He might be walking and running before we know it...=)

Well after a LONG walk, we decided to get Enlai is 1st Jamba Juice!! He loved an icee the other day so we figured he might want some Jamba...

I think he likes Strawberry better than mango....

After 3 months, Lily made me take Enlai a bath. Lily was better at it, so i have been letting her do it, but now i feel the joy!! (and the back pain)

Klaudia also wanted to give him a bath, but did not know what joy she would be feeling...

I LOVE LILY EVEN MORE, BECAUSE SHE HAS BEEN BATHING HIM AND FEELING THE JOY ALL THIS TIME!!!!
