Jaimito and Me

I know it has been five days since our birthday but I still wanted to make this post in celebration of Jaimito turning three years old.

Jaime David Mendez
Born January 14 @ 12:01 a.m.
Nicknames: Jaimito and Efrain Jr. (long story of why we call him Efrain jr.) lol
He is obsessed with super heroes. His favorites being: Hulk, Wolverine, Green Lantern, Spiderman, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Batman. But he still can name a whole bunch more.
He's in the no eating phase. But his favorite foods and drinks are hot dogs (especially without the bun), eggs with hot dog links (which he tries to say in spanish huevito but it comes out as uito), McDonald's fries, cookies, chocolate, canela con leche, soda in general but especially coke, and ice cream!
He's starting to try to speak in sentences and is trying to get use to being in nursery at church on Sundays. He's very friendly, he isn't shy about walking right up to kids (who may be older than him) and talk to them and just start playing with them. He loves his sister and loves playing with her. He enjoys wrestling with her and his dad. He especially likes playing zombies with her which consists in both of them hiding and shooting pretend zombies! haahahaha don't judge! But he's also very fiesty and will sometimes argue with Natalie. He loves kisses. He loves kissing us, but especially me. He has a weird habit of touching his lips. I think it's soothing for him. Sometimes he even comes up to me and rubs my lips. Weird, but it soothes him. He loves surfing on YOUTUBE! He's a pro at it, he loves watching Spiderman, Power Rangers and Transformer videos on YouTube. He loves taking pictures and he's into making funny faces for the shots. I have a hard time getting a normal shot of him because he just refuses to stop making weird faces.

Last year he was afraid of the snow but this year he is embracing it. He loved walking in it, jumping in it and making snow angels in it. He's strong like a ox, he doesn't cry easily. He can fall, bump his head, hit the floor and he gets right back up and keeps going. Many bi standers have been surprise as they have seen this in action.

He's very into dressing up as super heros. He forever wore his halloween costume of Green Lantern. Then he moved on to wearing a spiderman mask with his captain america shield and his green lantern costume. It was quite a funny sight. Then for Christmas he received a Captain America and Spiderman pijama which he wears with his also new C.A. and Wolverine masks.

It's been a wonderful year with my baby. I feel so blessed to have been given the chance to have him in my life. He showers me with love and makes me smile everyday.

As for me, I'm turning 28 feeling fresh and renewed. Feeling young and optimistic. Full of life and with a stronger sence of spirituality. Ready to take on the world and whatever is thrown at me. Feeling way more mature and at peace with myself and life. Ready to learn much more of life and Heavenly Father's plan for me here on earth. I feel even more in love with the love of my life, secure and loved. In conclusion, I feel Happy and super Blessed.
