It's incredible how much Mateo has changed in the past 8 days! Today we kept looking at him and commenting on how much longer he seems and how much more he seems to weigh. He eats like a crazy person and if he doesn't get enough to eat quickly enough he starts grunting and clenches his fists and gets all tense. We're trying to work him out of this silly habit ... our theory is that this is something he did at Pisingos when he got frustrated for whatever reason, but with us, he really has nothing to be frustrated about - especially going from 1 caretaker for every 10 babies to 5 caretakers for just Mateo! :)
Last night he had a great time in his bedroom (our bedroom) playing on the bed with his (grandparents) abuelitos Cogua, Great Grandma Carmen and us. Abuelito Agapito shows him new tricks every day that make Mateo laugh and giggle. Tonight while Mateo was laying on the bed, abuelito put Mateo's arms flat to his sides and rolled him back and forth like rolling down a hill except flat on the bed. Oh, Mateo just LOVED it. After several turns at that, Mateo started rolling himself back and forth - a new little trick in agility.
The best time of the day for Mateo is right after he wakes up in the morning or after a nap. His cheeks are rosy and he smiles and smiles. And he obviously sleeps like an angel.
