Life so far in pictures

Long overdue post!

Between school, a growing 8 month old who is cutting 2 teeth,crawling everywhere and just becoming more active and entertaining mommy for longer periods of time PLUS maintaining a three floor house clean,laundry done and
Study for test.The idea of having and updating a blog is a bit laughable given my situation however im really giving it an effort...so to make things short and simple ..i'll type up a quick list of things accomplished.

Planted beefsteak tomatos
Lilah received her first walker(grandma kathy thanks!)
Lilah received her alphabet mat which she adores
Finished up two midterms
Did a major room makeover with the help of my mother
Lilah is learning to crawl still but she finds her way around
She waves bye and the claps <3

Fair at the Square

The very handsome man in thee above picture is my husband!(well husband to be) he's rocking out at the weschester square fair..a annual event in the bronx where they close down a street, put up a big performing stage and have sort of a huge block party.live music from different artist, food (shiskabobs,hotdogs,grilled corn on the cob just last year they had funnel cake!
it happens in the summer and its alot of fun..hubby performs there almost evry year!!
lol the last picture is from 2011s fair at the square ..omg i just remembered..it was in may! because i was 7 months pregnant and those weird harold camping followers where walking around with big doomsday signs for may 21 (ridiculous)..the funny guy making the face at my hubby is dave rose! awesome bassist ..he was there with bronx underground ..an organization that books young upcoming artist to perform for the bronx youth! usually for charity and awesome causes..i feel very lucky to have a hubby be part of wonderful things like that!
notice how fans (lol the one in the angry white boy shirt is frantic ian ..a fellow musican and fan of hubbys) mosh and dance to hubbys music..yea he's that awesome!

Life so far in the torres household

lots of smiles and giggling around here! From the looks of it my give away went completely nowhere!...the only one who entered never got back to me..Sometimes this whole blogging business gets to be a bit discouraging. i mean i see the traffic and im going up in rank ..but getting people to follow or to get any feedback at all is alot harder then it looks..so i keep reminding myself that atleast i have the memories that i. document and going back to review always makes me smile..i guess i'll send the dresses to charity which would be the better thing to do..anyway as always its been hectic..lilah just got over a cold and her gums are killing her! i give her the homeopathic dissolving pellets and it makes things better temporarily but we've been dealing with this together ..team work between my fiance my mother in law and me. Shes alot better! i can kiss her cheeks without her screaming bloody murder =( ..my poor babycakes. School has been amazing. I've been getting a heavy dose of biology,math,sociology and of course pysch itself...Im really starting to appreciate the science that is pyschology! it makes me feel my nerdiest...right now im on super hyper housewife mode..plies of laundry,my room upside down ,waiting for our family studio photos to arrive in the mail..i have the rest of the week free until monday..better get cracking!

the BIG SIX!-a letter from mommy to daughter

I remember when you where 2 months .. one night around 2 in the morning i was awake nursing you back to sleep. You fussed and gave me a hard time and i remember telling myself how exhausted i was and hoping you would soon calm down and fall asleep in my arms like you did every night around the same time..i remember watching your father sleeping having to get up in a couple of hours for work.I remember sitting in silence listening to the house settle and creek.. the warmth and peace in the air wrapping us up.I took advantage of those nights..those nights where it was just me and you creating a strong bond..feeding you ..keeping you safe in my arms.. giving you everything you needed at that moment...in a way it was simple and yet so powerful..now your six months and figuring out what you need and want is not as easy as it was those nights..and i know you'll get older and it will get more challenging until one day ..you'll fly right pass me wanting or needing nothing from me but my love and support in the decisions you make and path you choose ..
i see the spark in your eyes and the energy you have ..your so brave and hungry for knowledge..my heart swells thinking about your future and all the opportunities you'll have..but until then i have to cherish the bond we make together...i have to cherish the fact that i play the most important role in your life right now and my love...your parents love..will help mold and shape the wonderful woman you'll become. happy six months my little lolita <3
