Experiencing new things

On Monday morning Mateo cried for the first time as I was walking out the door in my way to work. He has never done that and it made me happy and sad. Very happy because he now seems to really know who I am and he misses me! and sad because I did not like to leave holding in my mind the picture of him crying. So what I did was, I came back and entertained him for few minutes and when he did not expected I took off. My mom says he did not cry atfter that. 

Yesterday, Mateo eat a whole strawberry for the first time! It was so fun to see his excitement eating the yummy fruit and the mess he made of everything around him, including himself. We are lucky to live on a farm where organic strawberries are grown. Mateo got to have one of them as his first meals. 

And today, my boy experienced rain for the first time. Since it has been raining pretty hard all day, my mom and I could not take Mateo for a walk around the farm as usual. All we did is watch the rain and wind from the window and door. Once there was a little break in the rain, I took Mateo out of the house for a short walk. I could not believe his enthusiasm and happiness being outside and looking at everything. He is definitely going to be an OUTDOORS boy!
