Amelia's First Apartment

A cozy, one-bedroom efficiency available.  No bathroom (diapers required).  Great view of the living room.  Pets not allowed, but they can stare at you through the windows.  Includes phone and toys.  Non-smokers please.


Amelia has her very own apartment located in our living room.  It's a fully enclosed play area that big enough for her and both Martin and myself to get in!  It's great because the dogs can't get in and its a safe place for her to play and move around.  Oh yes - she's moving!  Not quite crawling, but she's got places to go.  She can use her feet to push herself in different directions.  We really need to start baby-proofing the whole house to get prepared for her crawling which is going to happen very soon.

She's always this happy!

Happy Baptism/Valentine's Day

On Sunday, February 14th, 2010 - Valentine's Day - Amelia was baptized!  I grew up Catholic and combining that with coming from Mexican heritage, the baptism is a big deal.  To Mexican Catholics, and probably to lots of other backgrounds, this is the time when a person begins their relationship with God.  Martin doesn't have a religious background, so I think it was a bit intimidating for him.  Luckily, the Methodist church I belong to is very casual and our pastor is really down to earth.  The day was really nice and it was a happy moment for me.
