Anyway, so since we last posted, we had a few things going. Mike's parents came for a few days along with Mike's sister, Elisa. First time meeting Manu and everybody got along.
Mike's job is going very well, he's happy, his co-workers are cool, his project is cool so everything is peachy on that side.
Manu has been having major colic this week though, so it's been hard, especially in the evenings, and watching your little one hurt like that with big tears rolling down his cheeks and his face becoming all red is quite hard... Makes me cry often when I can't calm him, but we have to get used to it, sometimes there is simply NOTHING we can do... And that's not even the teething part. OY!
Luckily we found a bit of magic working, he really loves being danced with to a very particular song by Rodrigo y Gabriela, 2 guitar players who are quite the virtuosos. We had found them randomly on Aurgasm (aurgasm.us) where obscur music is posted regularly. Well, Manu calms instantly when we put this track on and we dance furiously with him tight against one of us... I guess that's how it is, we have to find the little tricks that work with him (good luck with that to our friends who are soon to be parents too!!!!!!!!!!!! You'll see, you find these quickly! hehehe).
Ok, so what else... Ah yeah, Manu is starting to smile when he sees Mike and I, not everytime of course, but often since the past 3 days. So that's the best, and it makes everything look like a blur, especially in the middle of the night when all you can think about is sleep and how you might just return the little monster to the store, but then he smiles at you (and not just a simple involuntary reflex smile when he farts!) and your life all of the sudden makes complete sense!
We were able to catch some, but it's a little blurry:
Then he also just has the best intense look, he will stare at us and we just melt:
So I know why you all come to this blog, and so I'll stop ranting and post these photos for you all to enjoy:
Grandma watches the thumb sucking tryouts:
Grandpa also admires:
And of course Elisa (Mike's sister) totally loves our little monkey:
We managed to take some photos of bath time which often happens with me now since it works really well and he actually loves it now:
Hey hey! Look at me, I'm a dork!:
But I look so handsome in my little baseball big outfit!!!!! hehehe:
Oh Daddy, you're funny with that weird apparatus in your hands!!! Wait, let me pose!:
