4 months old

Our little hand holder! We have spent the past month holding hands the whole day long. At times I´ve even had to push you down the street holding your hand- in order to avoid meltdowns! You and your hair are growing so much. I don´t even recognize the little baby from 1 month old. You have the sweetest darkest eyes (now a bit blueish/brownish) and you keep those things wide open at all times. You weigh 13.85 lbs and are 24.6 inches tall. You are finally starting to nap during the day, eating every 4 hours and sleeping 7-9 hours thru the night. You can easily hold your head up, flip from your stomach to your back and when holding on to the couch you can stand on your own. You talk up a storm, but your sweet and new little giggles are my favorite. Everything you do now is my favorite.

Rioja and it´s vinos

February might not be the most prime time for visiting the vineyards, but what a nice weekend getaway to brighten up these winter days. We spent Saturday and Sunday celebrating the 70th birthday of Ricardo´s mom with a suprise trip to Rioja in the northern part of Spain. We visited both Ysios and Marques de Riscal vineyards. Not only are they known for their wonderful Red (tinto) wine, but the architecture is out of this world- Marques de Riscal is one of Frank Gehry´s latest projects, where we also enjoyed an amazing birthday lunch with the family. Wine, Food, Scenery and Family- very nice weekend indeed.
