Week 4: Ice cream

Hi little O :)

One of the good things about where we live is that we can walk to the downtown area in a few minutes. Mommie was craving some ice cream so we went for a walk tonight to get some. You slept through a lot of the walk so I don't know how much you enjoyed it. There were lots of babies out tonight and a sweet older woman thought you were really cute. On the way back home an insect tried to bite you but I protected you.

Caught you smiling!

See how you hang on to things?

Week 4: Lela Carmen!

Guest Post from Lela Carmen:

Hello Dear One,

It is early in the morning and I'm writing to wish you a blessed "Cumple Mes."
You are one month old today and it is a joyous celebration.
I pray that God will continue to bless you and your parents greatly.

Much love,
Lela Carmen
P.S. I just heard that your mommie has been singing the Negrito Lullaby to you, who would have known?

Week 4: Duerme, negrito

Hi little O :)

My Daddy, Papa Cesar, used to sing this song to me when I was little and now I sing it to you:

Duerme, Negrito

Duerme, duerme, negrito
Que tu mama está en el campo, negrito
Duerme, duerme, mobila
Que tu mama (es)tá en el campo, mobila.

Te va a traer codornices para ti
Te va a traer rica fruta para ti
Te va a traer carne de cerdo para ti
Te va a traer muchas cosas para ti

Y si el negro no se duerme
Viene el diablo blanco y ¡zas!...
Le come la patita chicapuma
Chicapuma, apuma chicapum.

Duerme, duerme, negrito
Que tu mama 'ta en el campo, negrito.

Trabajando sí
Trabajando duramente
Trabajando sí
Trabajando y va de luto
Trabajando sí
Trabajando y no le pagan
Trabajando sí
Trabajando y va tosiendo
Trabajando sí
Pa(ra e)l negrito chiquitito
Pa'l negrito sí
Trabajando sí
Trabajando sí.

Duerme, duerme, negrito
Que tu mama 'ta en el campo, negrito. Negrito...

This is how you usually sleep...with your hands up like you're under arrest

Tummy time!

We're not supposed to put you in the swing either but it makes you happy
