Your two first years

Oh we did a lot, baby!

We used to live in Toronto and I wasn’t working at the time. So we had all the time together.

You were born at The Beaches, so we used to go to the boardwalk very often. When the weather was too cold we would go to the library or to a mall. When the days were warmer we could go swimming, or to the park where you used to play with other kids in the sandbox.

Since daddy was working we did a lot of things only the two of us. But we did go camping one day when you were still a baby and you loved it.

Oh, one day I made this sort of pajama and your dad made fun of me saying that you looked like an astronaut!! Too bad I don’t have a picture of that.

Your first vacation was to New York when you were 4 months old. We went to visit Lúcia and Steve, when she was still pregnant of the twins. So you did get to see the Twin Towers!!!!

Our friends used to come visit us very often. Uncle Sady and Aunt Carla were always there and he was the one who taught me how to drink out of the glass all by mysellf.

Oh, there was this party we went once, Sole and Damian's wedding, when you were 4 months old and you cried a lot, and when I say a lot I really mean it! I think you didn't like the bride's gown or something. The thing is that you cried for about a whole hour and your dad and I didn't know what to do with you anymore! I left the wedding to take you for a ride in the car... nothing... then your dad did the same... nothing... you were not easy, heh? then you finally went to sleep and we could enjoy the dinner!

When you were 6 months old we went to Brazil for the first time. Then you met all your cousins.

After that, we moved further away to Port Union and Lawrence to our first house! It was a very nice house but in a quiet neighborhood and I used to feel lonely there.

Your first Halloween was there and I made this Little Red Riding Hood cape with daddy’s Che Guevara’s flag and he almost killed me!! :) no… he laughed about it… but I do think he wanted to kill me! :)

It was too cold and we didn’t go outside with the kids but we did receive them at the door and gave them candies.

When you were almost a year old we went to Colombia, when you met your dad's family. All of his sisters were there too and they all got to know you finally. We also went to San Andres and to Brazil. Great vacation!

We had a great time in Toronto before daddy and I split up and we went back to Brazil.

Back there your brother was born and you were a good big sister to him, at least in the beggining. :)
