Melina "reads" - Melina "lee"

We wanted to shared this short video we took of Melina today. She really love books (we wonder why) and she is becoming very interactive with them. Sometimes she would be very hyper but she would calm down when we sit her on our lap to read her a story (in English or Spanish). In this video, she is "reading" a book we got in Argentina.

Queriamos compartir con ustedes este video de melina. A Melina le gustan mucho los libros y cada vez juega mas con ellos. Hay veces incluso que la calmamos, sentandola con nostros y leyendole una historia, en ingles o castellano. En este video, esta leyendo el libro "Bubba y sus sentidos" que le compramos en Cordoba en este ultimo viaje a Argentina.

Melina is 11 months old - Melina cumple 11 meses


Melina is 11 months old. We wanted to do this long time ago when Melina actually turned 11 months but for different reasons we just did it today. We decided to use green colours to reflect St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Melina has grown so much in these past month. She has six teeth (two at the bottom and four on top) so it is becoming much easier for her to chew her food. She loves having bread (baguette style) especially if we add a little bit of butter on it.


Melina cumple 11 meses. El tiempo ha pasado volando y ya Melina está por cumplir un año. Disfruten estas fotos que le sacamos hoy, celebrando sus 11 meses. Desde el viaje a Argentina, Melina se ha adaptado nuevamente a nuestra rutina en Canada. En unos dias, estaremos celebrando su primer cumple.

"It's peanut butter jelly time"




Melina was introduced to the song "Peanut butter jelly time" when we were in Argentina. Since then, she loves dancing when we play it. Usually, Karen plays the song in the morning when Melina wakes up. She dances in the crib for a while and then she is ready to start the day.





Melina escuchó el tema "Peanut butter jelly time" cuando visitamos Argentina. Desde ese momento, baila cada vez que escucha esta música por You Tube. Generalmente, Karen pone la canción a la mañana cuando Melina se despierta. Así, Melina empieza el día bailando en la cuna.
