A girl can't have too many...

Carolina was in the living room playing by herself while I put Mel down for a nap. When I came out to look for something in the living room, Carolina stopped me and said, "Mommy, don't ask why I have too many necklaces in my bag here. I'm packing for a trip. You can never have too many necklaces."

2.5 year check and colds

So they're both sick. Carolina has bronchitis and a stomach bug while Mel has a stomach bug and nasal congestion. (Mommy gets to take stool samples to a lab and everything!)

So much for coming back from vacation!

Here are their measurements after Mel's 2.5 year checkup:

Carolina:  34lbs and 42"

Mel: 26.5lbs and 36"

Our trip to Vallarta, a glossary

From Mel's mouth:

Tía Gaby = Andres

Scarecrow = headlights at night

Apple Juice = ocean waves

Where chupon? Popped? Up in da sky? With da family? Mouse took it? (Last one was Carolina's suggestion that he adopted.)

Theories on where the chupon went

Mel's ideas:

"Pop. Up in the sky?"

"Went with the family"

Carolina's idea:

"A mouse took it into its hole". 

Mel's comment about Carolina's idea:

"Mouse took ina hole? With the family?"

So, it's over!

Chupon no Más?

We're at the hotel on vacation, and we may have just given up the chupon by accident. I can't find it. For real. He accepts it "popped. Went up in the sky." Like a balloon. And is willing to take his nap anyway. So...
