Abuelita had to leave us this past Friday and we all miss her so much, especially Cruz! She was such an amazing help and I almost wish I could've kept her here but I knew she'd have to go back sooner or later! I still can't talk about it or thank her without crying, darn hormones!!

Today we had bath number 2 at home, again he didn't like it so much, but who does at 9 days old, right! I think he felt a little better when he Christened mommy again for the second time, not sure how daddy always escapes the crazy pee attachs.

Cruz slept a little more yesterday so we were able to carve out our pumpkins for tonight. Wasn't sure if we were going to get to it so that was a nice surprise! Mine is a ghost flying through a window (I had to tell you because you probably won't be able to tell on your own) and Mario's is a jack o'lantern with Cruz's name on it.

I really wanted to dress Cruz up for his first halloween but I don't think they make costumes small enough! I did find a few but didn't get them in time and since I can't really leave the house and it's too late to order online then I think we'll be just dressing like a baby wearing his first halloween shirt!! Pictures to follow!!

Things in the Arce household are going well. It is an adjustment to stay home on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon as anyone who knows us well enough knows we don't usually stay home but we are getting used to that and spending the day with Cruz makes it that much easier to handle!

Tomorrow we have our week appointment (or 10 day old appointment) with the doctor to check and make sure Cruz is back up to his birth weight. In my opinion he should've surpassed it with the amount that he eats but we're hoping for at least his birth weight of 7lbs 12oz.

Will be writing more soon!

Kristy, Mario and Cruz!
