4 months

Looks who turned 4 months in America! Thankfully the monkey was with us for some fun shots. I will try to do the calendar ones tomorrow. Monkey was accidentally left, but he will be returned in time for 5 month photos.

This was a month full of firsts for our little guy! Before our long journey, he ended up going to the doctor again for an ear infection. We go on Thursday for his check-up and shots. I think he weighs 20 lbs and is 68 cm. He is wearing 6-9M.

Mateo really changed on our trip. He is became more talkative and interactive. His first tooth popped out October 31 and his 2nd November 4. His hair started to grow and he is almost rolling over.

Book Shower

Mom wanted to have me a shower when I visited with Mateo. I thought that sounded fun, because it would be a great way to see many people. My friend had suggested a book shower, so I sent the idea to mom and off we went. It was such a success! I was so glad we did it that way. We asked people to instead of a gift, bring a book and write in it, instead of a card.

I received so many amazing books. So many cool books I never new existed. I have textured books, hologram books, chubby board, coloring, the full Beatrix Potter series, Bible, recordable, and many more! Thank you everyone! It is also very special all the personalized messages in them.

We did a Curious George theme, which worked out perfectly because he received quite a few Curious George books. I, unfortunately, did not take many photos of the little-man-of-honor.

My friend, K, made the cupcakes. I keep dreaming about them. I have never tried the ones at Safeway for $2, but I am sure these are 10x better! She made Reeses (chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter icing, covered in hard chocolate), Red Velvet and Carmel Apple (one of the yummiest things I have ever had in my entire life!)
