Spaghetti and Santa

Ignacio is like his mom in that he doesn't really like sticky hands so it was hilarious to see him "let loose" and make a mess with spaghetti. Even more amuzing was to watch Angel relinquish the spoon!! Later that week we went for the THIRD time to Macy's Christmas display. It is like a wonderland with glowing lights, elves and creepy people dressed in costumes. It has become our regular hang out spot. Ignacio particularily likes the little kitty hiding in a basket among the animals singing carols. As the other mothers hold their little ones in their arms they point to the display as the babies quietly gaze in amazement at the lights and sounds. Then there is us with Ignacio reaching, twisting and yelling because he is in no way content to just look at the kitty. If he had his way he would find a way up onto that display, make his way across the fake snow and glitter, tackle that kitty and haul it back to his stroller. This last visit we waited in line with Krista, Chad and Addison to see Santa and the excitement was growing. As the line twisted and turned we finally made our way to the red velvet curtain. Santa was just as fat and jolly as we remembered. Ignacio was not too impressed with Santa this year but we will be back next year to wait an insanely long time in a long line of impatient, sticky-fingered children with frustrated parents just to see him again.

That is the only way I eat spaghetti. He looks like a very big boy in his sweater and jeans. I guess that happens when you are a year old. I really miss you guys and want to come down soon. Honestly, I miss Ignacio.
