Chicago, then MichiganPosted June 26, 2008 | Permalink | Comments (0)We’ve been back from our summer expedition for a few days now. It just took a while to get to some of the pictures from our cross-country trip (lesson learned: driving nearly 2,000 miles w/ a five-month-old is harder than we thought). Some quick notes (and pictures):
Javi’s first mealPosted May 11, 2008 | PermalinkWe started Javi on solid foods a few days ago. It’s a little early, but he’s so big (he’s bigger than your average 8-month-old) that the pediatrician suggested we start him on solids now (adding that it was the reason he was demanding to eat so frequently). So we started him on wheat cereal, which he seemed to enjoy tremendously. Here’s some video: Continue reading "Javi’s first meal"
Nearing an end, and a new beginningPosted April 25, 2008 | PermalinkApologies for the sporadic updates. As you can imagine, planning to move (both house & office)—all the while dealing w/ a fussy (teething) soon-to-be 4-month-old and nearing the end of the semester—leaves little time for much else beyond sleeping. But we’ll have more pictures/updates about Javi soon enough. Including his upcoming baptism, which is May 17th in Bethesda, Maryland. Stay tuned!
First coldPosted April 15, 2008 | PermalinkJavi is slowly recovering from his first cold bug. He’s dealing w/ it well enough, for a three-month-old. But it does keep us up at night, since he has trouble sleeping. We’ve also learned to accept that he will sneeze directly unto our faces.
Back from ChicagoPosted April 8, 2008 | PermalinkWe got back Sunday. But I’ve only now had a chance to upload pictures (including some from Easter weekend). Chicago was great—as always. It was a pleasant visit w/ family & friends.
Pre-Easter updatePosted March 22, 2008 | PermalinkIt’s been some time since my last update. As you can imagine, things are very busy here. Spring break wasn’t much of a break at all, confronting mounds of grading, some writing lose ends (still loose, btw), putting together some special conference panels, and some last-minute job interview preps. And now Easter is upon us. Continue reading "Pre-Easter update"
Javi at two monthsPosted March 5, 2008 | PermalinkIt’s time for more Javi pictures. He’s now two months old. Be sure to note: 1) he now has “real” expressions, 2) he owns a pair of baby cowboy boots, and 3) he has a ridiculous Easter costume.
New tricksPosted February 26, 2008 | Permalink | Comments (1)I missed it, because he’s in Delaware. But Javi has learned a new trick: He can now roll over onto his side. Not all the way over, mind you, just onto his side. K8 emailed me the news. Apparently, he prefers to sleep on his side (something I already knew, since he would sleep better if I turned him onto his left side). Sunday, he had discovered how to suck his thumb (which saves us from waking up at night to put a dropped pacifier back in his mouth). It’s funny how quickly they start to learn little things.
A long week in a long monthPosted February 13, 2008 | Permalink | Comments (5)My parents leave town tomorrow & start heading back to Bolivia. It’s been good having them here these past two weeks, even if it’s been hectic. But I’m certainly going to miss them—especially since we might not see each other again for another year.
Javi at one monthPosted February 4, 2008 | PermalinkJavi turned a month old two days ago. It’s a cliché, but he’s growing fast. He barely fits into his 0-3 month clothes & he’s slowly gaining new skills (he smiles). He also has a belly button now.
No sleep for the wearyPosted January 27, 2008 | Permalink | Comments (5)Tags: Latin American studies political science research methods teaching It’s hard to believe how quickly time passes. Javi is almost a month old now (and fussier by the day). The lack of sleep is starting to slowly wear me down. I still have two major projects (book manuscript, article rewrite) to finish—because in two weeks grading papers will take over my life.
Javi at Red RobinPosted January 15, 2008 | Permalink
Our first meal out. Photo taken from my phone.
New “Javi” category pagePosted January 9, 2008 | PermalinkFor those of you seeking Javi updates, please check the new “Javi” category page: mcentellas.com/archives/javi/.
Yet another CentellasPosted January 9, 2008 | Permalink | Comments (1)My mom posted some pictures of my cousin’s baby (his first, too). It’s actually a very funny story of sorts. Continue reading "Yet another Centellas"
Back homePosted January 5, 2008 | Permalink | Comments (4)A big “thank you” to everyone who called, emailed, or posted a comment of good wishes on the birth of little Javi (Javier Enrique). We’re all three of us now back home, recovering, but tired. Continue reading "Back home"
Javi’s first dayPosted January 3, 2008 | Permalink | Comments (18)After 36+ hrs of labor, followed by a C-section, little Javier Enrique Centellas was finally born at 9:20pm. Weighing in at 9 lbs, 6 oz (and nearly 22 inches long!). There’s a few (of the many, many) pictures up on my Flickr. Unfortunately, the hospital doesn’t have WiFi—so some of you will have to wait for updates & new pictures. And w/ that, I’m back out to the hospital. Ciao!
