Its been quite a while since the last time I posted a blog....so where should I begin.

Our home has become extremely busy with the three little ones. New baby is finally sleeping through the night, which is great because I've returned to work (so sad).

New Baby (now 5 months) is rolling all over the place, from her tummy to her back and from her back to her tummy. She wants to grab everything, which has earned her the nickname 'mil manos' She is very even tempered and happy. She, just like my other two daughters, is perfect.

Sofia is as cute as a bug, she is eating all the time, but doesn't seem to gain any weight. Her vocabulary is expanding at a tremendous rate, she speaks in full sentences now. Some of her favorite things to say include, "no Maya, that's mine". "I want apple juice please", "Baby is laughing" Mentally she is growing at a very fast pace

Maya, understands everything, She is learning how to write her letters and other words. She is a great counter and has mastery over shapes and colors. Maya is growing up before my own eyes and I am just taken aback at how sharp she is. She is also becoming very opinionated, and to say the least she has a mind of her own. At least once a week we battle over "what to wear" She'll like something one day, but not the next, causing immense distress for her father who is trying to get to work in the morning. But we are managing.

Carlos and I have had our share of health issues these past couple of weeks. He underwent surgery for his eye and for me, I had surgery for a hernia and gallstone removal. I am currently recovering from my surgery. When it rains it pours, both of these things came up within a couple of weeks of each other. But again, we managed to get through it.

In March Carlos and I celebrated 6 years of marriage, to celebrate we went to the SF zoo and then hung out that night in a Hotel room, with the girls. 6 years ago, neither Carlos and I thought we would have 3 beautiful daughters, a dog and this life. We are grateful for every blessing that god has given us.
