Play date with Melissa and Pechy

We had a wonderful day today at the park with my good friend Pechy and her daughter Melissa. The weather was absolutely perfect and there were lots of kids at the park. The girls had a great time on the slides and running around with other kids. Both girls looked absolutely gorgeous and were super girly. We love hanging out with Pechy and Melissa and we hope to be able to doing it again very soon!

My new flash!

So, I finally went ahead and bought a new flash for my camera! Ever since I got the Nikon D80 around Thanksgiving time, I've never been satisfied with the indoor photos. For some reason I feel that the built-in flash just isn't enough light for my photos. So today I ordered the SB-600 Speedlight flash from Amazon.com and I'm already in love with it... even though it's not here yet! haha! It's expected to be delivered by Wednesday... I can't wait!

A wonderful family weekend..

This weekend was so wonderful because we got to spend so much quality time together as family. Olivia was such a good girl this weekend and was able to enjoy all the activities that we planned for her. Iggy and I were happy to hang out and do many fun things...On Saturday, Olivia had a blast at her cousin's birthday party. She loved playing at The Little Gym and enjoyed hanging out with all the kids that were invited. After the party, we went to have lunch with my parents, aunt and uncle at the Pembroke Gardens shops and then we came home and had a nice quite time.

Sunday was also great. We went to church together and then we went to have lunch at a great Peruvian restaurant, where they sell the most wonderful Ceviche that I have ever had! yummy!! We then had frozen yogurt at Tossed... that was yummy too!

Later today, we took Olivia to St. Max's carnival, where she went on several rides and we all went on the Ferris wheel; Olivia was fascinated by the height and being able to see the whole town from up top.... it was such a great weekend and we all had so much fun!

Erika's Birthday Party

Erika's birthday party was held today at The Little Gym in Pembroke Pines. What a great party she had! My sister did a great job in organizing a "Dora the Explorer" themed party with lots of kids and great food and games.
The birthday girl had tons of fun with all her friends and all the kids were able to participate in interactive activities led by the party pros from The Little Gym.
After all the fun and games, it was pizza time! The kids sat in the party room and had cake and a yummy dulce de leche cake.
Erika got tons of gifts and had a wonderful time. Happy Birthday little girl!
Here are some pictures of the wonderful party!

Erika's 2nd birthday!

Today we celebrated Erika's 2nd birthday...I can't believe my Cookie is already 2! She is the most gorgeous and sweet niece that anyone can ask for...It was a special day for the birthday girl. She spend half the day with her babysitter and then we took her and Olivia to Busy Bee Kidz in Cooper City so that they could play for a while...They had so much fun with all the toys and we took lots of pictures.

At night we all went to Pizza Hut to have some yummy pizza and sing "Happy Birthday" to the birthday princess...Her birthday party will be held on Saturday at The Little Gym. I can't wait to see all the kids having fun at the party!

My doppler is here!

A couple of weeks ago I decided to buy a Fetal Heart Doppler since I wanted to be able to hear my baby's heartbeat as often as possible. I ordered from eBay and it was delivered to me today..

I used it for the first time this afternoon and it was awesome... Listening to the baby's heartbeat is such a wonderful thing.. Her heart rate was about 140 bpm and I could hear her move..

It is so easy to find and it has the perfect size.. I'm so happy with my doppler.. what a great buy!

Olivia is 19 months!!

Wow, time sure keeps flying! I can't believe our baby girl is already 19 months...she's closer to 2 years old than she is to 1! this is amazing!! I have to say, of course, that she is so smart and such a good and fun little person to be around! She already says more than 50 words, she understands basic commands and can say two word phrases and of course she loves to sing and dance... She also loves to wear sunglasses and hats...
Also, she has been so loving lately.. I think she knows that I'm pregnant and is getting excited about it.. or maybe it's just me getting excited for her being a big sister!
Here's a few recent pictures of our little girl.. we just love her to pieces!!
