Lolo's Birthday!

We celebrated my dad's birthday last weekend. I remember last year, going out for her Lolo's birthday was one of Nina's first outings as a newborn. It's fun to see how much she's grown!

Last year - she slept the whole time:
This year - walking and dancing with Lolo!

Hallandale Beach lighting ceremony

Last week our neighborhood had a lighting ceremony. They had a mini-fair a block away from our condo with rides, carnival food and santa. Here are a few pics from the night. Nina made friends with another little girl. The more she interacts with little kids, we're noticing that she seems to be a bit more agressive than other kids. She usually walks right up to them and touches them or if they're playing with something, she push them aside to get to the toy. Hopefully it's just a stage!Waiting with daddy for the lights to turn onyay! they shut down the entire street for about 15 minutes and all the kids ran around and went crazy! Nina's first pic with Santa - this poor guy had to be sooo hot - it was 80 degrees out!

Nina dance

Lately Nina's been dancing A LOT. Every time she hears anything with a beat or plays with her lion push toy, she does a little dance. My favorite part is when she is walking and stops to do a little dance, then continues walking! She's really getting the hang of walking now too...all she does is roam around. Oh and excuse her no pants look - she had a messy dinner.

November vacation - NH

Sorry this is a little late, things have been so busy. To continue our November vacation, our last stop was Salem, NH. We stayed with my aunt and uncle, we lived with them for a couple of months right before we moved to Miami. They have always been the most hospitable family, always cooking something yummy for everyone - especially our filipino favorites! Here are a few pics from our stay. My brother's family also stayed in NH - Nina and her older cousin Malaya took their baths together before bed - it was soooo cute!Ready for bed!Nina and her cousin OrlaA trip to New England wouldn't be complete without a stop at Woodmans! Steamed lobster, clam chowda', fried clams, fish and scallops! Mmmmmm delicious! The last time I ate here I was 3 months pregnant with Nina and let me just say, i ate the whole menu! LOL!On our last night, we drove into the North End (like Little Italy) in Boston and stopped by our favorite place for Italian pastries and cookies. We took a big box home!Nina catching some zzzz's on the flight back to Ft. Lauderdale!
