Sorry for the two month hiatus-

So it has been so0o0oo0 long there is simply too much to write about in order to catch you all up. I will give you a brief break down.

Our Cuba trip was FABULOUS. We had a very nice time. I spent loads of time with both families, Omar's and the family I had never met from my mother's side. It was quite an experience, no words could truly describe how magical it was to experience being on the motherland. Little man of course had a wonderful time as well. True he will most likely remember nothing of his first plane flight, much less of Cuba. We did take him to the beach and he loved it! Here is a little morsel of him enjoying himself on one of his outings.

Once we returned home, I had the unfortunate luck of becoming very ill. Not just common cold sick, I mean horribly sick. I ended up spending six days at the hospital. NO FUN! They are still not 100% sure what I had. But they know what it wasn't... so I guess that is kind of good.

I got out of the hospital just in time too! I was able to see my little pumpkin enjoy his first Easter. He actually loved playing with the plastic eggs, although I know he was clueless as to what the point of their existence was. He even found an egg or two in the egg hunt! Of course, with a little of daddy's help... but he DID get them himself! Next year's Easter should be so much fun, walking and running around with the other cousins looking for eggs. I can't wait to see my monster get up and go!

Besides, the fun stuff I have also had some work piling on my plate. As usual I am enjoying my hobby turn mini business. Plus of course... the highly anticipated Sesame Street extravaganza- LMAO!!! Nah, all kidding aside I have found myself pretty busy with baking and preparing things for Omi's birthday. I cannot believe he is almost one year old already! I feel like I was just pregnant yesterday.

Oh! And although I had been fighting it with all my might--- we took Omi to get his first hair cut. I really wanted to not do it, I was in love with his baby curls. However I was convinced by his newly acquired uncontrollable bed head that it was over due. When he would wake from his naps and sleeping it was just impossible to control. So Omar and I took him to get a trim. He was so good. He loved it, the scissors apparently tickled him, which is the only time he would squirm (with the assistance of a lollipop of course). Other than that... he did spectacular.

Oh my goodness I almost forgot the most spectacular new development I have!!! He started walking. I have been told that from here on out all peace in the household will be lost. But I am so proud of him, and excited to watch him develop more and more each day. I have some clips of him stumbling around but I still need to sort through them. I feel like I have been out of it for so long. And instead of just skipping the months that passed I wanted to make sure that everyone was semi caught up.

Before I forget, today my little darling pumpkin turns 11 months. They have just flown by--- how crazy is that.

Whoa--- that was a lot. And to think I skipped over some parts!
