Joaquin Loves Daddy's Shoulders

Fun at the Park

Joaquin loves his daily trips to the park with Elizabeth.

Happy First Birthday Joaquin!

We still can't believe how quickly a year flies by. This has been a challenging and fun year - our best so far. Here are a few pictures from his birday.

Joaquin is Still Too Skinny

According to the pediatrician, Joaquin is still too skinny. It is everything we can do to get him to eat lots of calories. So, we have instituted nightly desert time. I don't think he minds at all!

Halloween Pictures

Joaquin had a hard day on Halloween. He had his one year check up with the pediatrician, which included two vaccinations. He officially hates going to see the doctor now, so he screamed and shook in terror for the entire 45 minute visit. We got some ice cream afterward, so that helped. By the time we got home and got dressed in his costume, he was pooped. Here are some shots:

With his Tita Mia:

With mommy:

Mia and I were dressed as Ketchup and Mustard and Joaquin was a bull (specifically, Ferdinand, for those of you familiar with the book). Together, we were a hamburger :-)

Hopefully next year will involve more smiles.

Blog Traffic Weirdness

Every now and again I will check my blog stats to see how people are finding my blog. It's sort of fun to see what google terms people have used that ultimately led them to the blog and what posts tend to get the most hits.

One strange thing I have noticed is that my 28 week 1 day belly picture post is by far the most popular post on this blog. I have absolutely no idea why that is.

But today I saw something funny: someone found this blog by typing "Orange County stolen banana" into google. I can't even imagine the circumstances under which someone would be googling about a stolen banana in Orange County. Too funny.

UPDATE: Now when you type "Orange County stolen banana" into google my blog pops up first. Ha!
