The end

Well, this will my last post in this blog. I have always wanted to keep this blog for one year only and it has been accomplished! Mateo is 13 months now and he is really growing and learning. There will be lots of exciting things to report but I will do it in a general way. Now I need to find a way to have this blog made into a book that I can give to Mateo as a gift but this is a project that will have to wait right now. 

In the mean time, I have started a new blog called "Back in Ecuador". I know I am not in Ecuador yet but we are doing so many things to prepare that keeping this new blog will help. I plan to write often about the adventures we get into as a family in our new country.

We are very excited to move this summer!

Bye bye

Starting the second year sick

It all started the day we went to get the vaccinations. Mateo got a shot in each limb, I wish we spread them a bit so the effect on his little body was not as cruel. The afternoon of the shots he did very well. I thought he will be just fine. The day after, he had pain in his legs and did not want to walk much. A day later he woke me up with vomit and cry. We went to the emergency room just in case. After few hours there we were sent home with some pills. The past 3 days my baby has had diarrhea and some vomit. I was told that it will pass in 7 to 10 days! Today he seemed to be better but his bugs are now attacking me and Pat. We are sick today with a stomach flu. 

Finally tonight, Mateo wake up crying uncontrollably. It is scary when we do not have a clue what could it be. After some thinking and talking on the phone with the nurse, we conclude that his molars are coming out and that must hurt. I gave him some medicine for that and he finally went to sleep. I am ready to have my baby back! The healthy, silly baby who just turn one year old.
