We finally got Mateo to wear his Halloween costume this year! He was superman and had a great time trick or treating!

We just got back from 2 weeks and I am happy to report that Mateo can now speak some Spanish!
It was really bothering me. Matilda at his age was very good but Mateo was exposed to less Spanish and thus did not speak any Spanish at all.
A few weeks with his cousins fixed that!
Here are some pictures.

I was starting to be concerned that Mateo had no musical talent… but then he did this!

Spring was awful. It was either cold or raining. We spent a lot of time inside reading books and watching his favorite shows like Dinosaur train, Yo Gabba Gabba and Team Umizumi. Here is a video of him reading from some books.

Summer is going great. Mateo has become a champion swimmer. He can swim under water already!

We are struggling through the “terrible twos”. Mateo is extremely stubborn and has to do things his way. Like his sister, he has to pick out his own clothes. His choice every single day is his bathing suit — he wears it to school every morning. Looks like this:

His diet has really deteriorated. His favorite meal used to be rice and broccoli. Now he eats only chips, cake and ice cream. Occasionally, we can get him to eat some meat, rice, pizza or pasta, but its rare.

I guess he is doing ok because he is growing and thriving. Here is a recent pic of him.

I posted some old videos of Mateo today. Here is one from when he first learned to walk.

Mateo had is 2 year old checkup. He weighs 29.8 lbs and is 35.5 inches tall!

Mateo spent his 2nd birthday in Spain with his cousins. He had a blast and got tons of presents!
We spent the day in Barcelona. Here is a pic of him in Plaza Catalunya.

We got almost 2 feet of snow! Mateo had a great time playing in the snow for the first time.

Mateo talks like crazy now and can make complete sentences. He can also sing the Wheels on the Bus, Farmer in the Dell, Old MacDonald, Bah Bah Black Sheep, Twinkle Twinkle Little star and the Hokey Pokey.

Its hard to capture him in photos because he is always running. But here are some good recent ones.
