Happy New Year

Happy 2009 everyone!! It is really hard to believe 2008 is already over. 2008 was the year Miguel graduated, passed his dental boards, became a real dentist, and the year Susanna was born!! Now I have to say she was born LAST YEAR, so sad :( She really is growing up so fast. Her crawling is getting faster everyday. She seems to get faster every time she wakes up. It is like she has stored up some energy and it is putting it to use. She loves to explore the house and has recently started exploring our cabinets as well.

We are starting to baby proof and are having a little trouble finding gates that fit our stairs. Why can't it just be easy!!

Miguel was lucky to have some extended time off during the holidays to spend with us but he has now gone back to work. It is sad not to have him home with us anymore, we sure miss Daddy!


Susanna has cut another tooth, this one on the bottom. And the matching tooth is on its way as well. So her tooth count very soon will be 8, 4 on top and 4 on the bottom. She has been extra cranky and you can tell those poor gums hurt her. She has become VERY PROTECTIVE of her mouth and brushing her teeth is now a two person job. We try not to make it too traumatic for her but sometimes she really puts up a fight. She has a child size tooth brush that we let her chew on every so often to help clean those teeth and doing it herself is much easier for her. Now Miguel just needs to teach her The Bass Method: Sulcular Brushing Technique. HeHe :)


Susanna is really enjoying her Christmas presents, especially her new learning table. Look at how well she stands and plays, what a big girl!! She also loves her new music car. She loves to go for a ride!!




Tomorrow is her 9 month check-up with more shots, boo
