Mother's Day 2007
No hay nada mas agradable que estar en buena compannia y deliciosa comida. Asi fue como pasamos el Dia de la Madre celebrandolo junto a nuestra familia extensa del Sur de la Florida. Fue muy agradable el encontrarnos: nos reimos mucho y compartimos un grato momento todos unidos. El Lunes logramos registrar a Elaine en el Consulado de Colombia, y a consecuencia tiene ella ya tres nacionalidades: la Americana, la Japonesa, y ahora la Colombiana! Esta pendiente la Argentina - para que entonces Papa Oscar empiece a celebrar en grande?! :) Para entonces tendria ella cuatro diferentes nacionalidades - increible, no? Que pequinnita tan Internacional!!! :)

Visita de la Abuelita
Con gran alegria recibimos a la Abuelita en casa recientemente; y Elaine y la Abuelita la estan pasando en grande! Elaine en la presencia de su abuelita no cesa de "hablar." Sera que se llegara a ser igual que su abuelita de conversadora?
Mas fotos de la abuelita y Elaine.

Sleeping Beauty & Los Patitos
How interesting and rewarding it is to see your own child grow and develop their cognitive, motor, and social skills. The first time, however, when little Elaine slept through the night, Oscar and I were concerned she was not waking up and kept checking up on her making sure she was breathing! These long stretches of sleep, of course, then started being interrupted by her teething pains. But all in all, each development and stage carries its own surprises and beauty. Couple of Sundays ago, as I was playing with some of Elaine's duckies (patitos), "quacking" away, she suddenly started laughing histerically. With much amazement at this reaction of hers, we could not contain our joy and contagiously started laughing together with her. She is our little sunshine and we adore her - even though uninterrupted sleep is not yet (hopefully will be someday) a reality for our family:)
Here are some recents pictures and one of her first videos:

Elaine's First Swim
It is indeed getting a bit more summer-like around here in Jacksonville (though it is still quite variable), and the other day we finally decided we needed to go buy little Elaine a swimming suit to go swimming! We had a blast and plan to make it out to the pool more, weather permitting.
Here are some of Elaine's First Swim photos.

"If evolution really works, how come mothers [and/or fathers] only have two hands?"
- Milton Berle
Why is it that when you are rocking your baby to sleep your entire body starts itching? The other day I had to laugh because Oscar swore he had an extra arm growing out of his shoulder. And that in my absence, he surely felt like a cow rubbing his itchy nose against anything he could find! I used to go around saying that I sleep like a baby – my solid 8-10 hours of sleep – until I found myself caring for Little Elaine who, at worst, wakes up every two hours throughout the night to be fed. One of our latest joys has been in the mornings when she awakes cooing and with a big smile on her little face. So it has been the new chapter of parenthood for both Oscar and I: heart-melting, exhausting, joyful, a bit nerve-wracking and precious. She is no doubt our little treasure and we will not trade her for the world.
We are thinking of you, and pray that God will bless you a thousand-fold.
Love,
Adriana, Oscar & Baby Elaine

「進化論が本当なら、なぜお母さん（お父さん）たちには手が2本しかないのだろう？」－ ミルトン・バーリ
寝かしつけるため赤ちゃんを抱いて揺すっていると、とたんに体中がかゆくなるんですよねぇ。先日、オスカーが肩から間違えなく手が生えてきたと言っていたので思わず笑ってしまいました。しかも私がいないときなんか、赤ちゃんを揺すっているとき、鼻がどうしてもかゆくなり、牛のように所かまわず（鼻を）かけるところを探していたというんだから笑ってしまいます。昔、自分はよく赤ちゃんのように眠れると言いふらしていたものです。8時間から10時間はざらでした。今は、皮肉にも2時間ごとにお腹をすかしては起きる娘イレインのお世話づくし…。でも最近の楽しみはイレインが朝起きると満面の笑顔を浮かべて優しい声で話しかけてくれること。「両親」となったオスカーと私は嬉しさ、疲れ、イライラ、可愛さなど、試行錯誤の毎日です。だけど、やっぱりこの子は世界で一番の宝物です。
皆さまもお元気でお過ごしのことと思います。お体はくれぐれも大事にしてください。
