Ok...Christmas was AWESOME!

Oh we had such a good time! Christmas Eve we went to Uncle Junior's house. I was playing music on the tambora and the guira!! Daddy and Tio were playing also.

Oh it was so much fun. I was hanging out with Ameerah and all the girls from next door....yes, I said "all the girls" There was one little girl Brooklynn, we had a lot of fun chasing each other around the house!

Here I am with Mommy getting hugs!

I was having so much fun that I stayed up until 12:30 in the morning!!! I only fell asleep after we opened presents and then I was exhausted.

On Christmas morning Santa had a Handy Manny table and chairs set all set up for me downstairs!!! That was so cool. I opened the rest of my presents there on the table. It was a little weird at first thought because Mommy kept telling me not to mess with the presents and NOW she was telling me to open up the paper and RIP IT!! What is it with adults!? They are so inconsistent....leave them alone, go get them, rip the paper....I don't get it. But it WAS AWESOME!!!!

We had fun opening presents and then Titi Chell came over with Mike and brought over Dunkin and a new dog Chili. That was cool. I was a little bit scared of the dogs, but its just because they are big. I needed to warm up to them ;) Chili is small and I was okay with her, until she licked my face....yeah NOT A FAN. I was not happy about that. But its all good. The dogs hung out together and I got to hang with Titi Chell.

Man, I had so much fun that day that when I was eating dinner, I fell asleep! I couldn't even finish it! And I slept from 7:30 that night until 7 the next day. Mommy got a lot of rest also. I mean she kept trying to clean up after me, but Santa and my family brought me so much stuff, she said it was a losing battle to keep everything in order and she gave up. LOL She is funny. She says she gives up but she still keeps trying to pick things up.

I mean don't get me wrong I pick up after myself! I put things away when Mommy or Daddy ask, but there was SO MUCH STUFF! It was hard for me to keep up by myself.

This is how I crashed that night

And then we had some awesome snow!!!! It was really cool...and COLD outside. But I put my new scarf and hat on that Titi Chell got me and we went out to play!

Even Jersey had a good time!

Okay gotta go!

Mommy said she will put all the pictures up soon.

Here is the link on photobucket Christmas 2010.

Okay it has been a while, but we are in like full swing for Christmas. I still don't know what this is all about, but we have the tree, and there seem to be more presents under it every day. And Mommy says Santa is bringing more on Christmas Eve!!! This is crazy.

Here is a picture of the pillow pet that Pop-Pop got me. I fall asleep with it every night!

I like to get creative and play in the pantry....no one bothers me in there....except as you can see Mommy like to spy on me...

Oh and here is the first snow fall of the year here!!!! (December 4th) Yeah Mommy said please don't yell at her for not having my coat zipped up, she was just really excited for the snow!!!

Don't Know About You, But I am Ready!!!

Can you believe this, I got a message straight from Santa! No, seriously you have to check it out. He called my name and had pictures of me with my cousins. It was awesome!!! I have NO IDEA how he knows all of this stuff, but he does!!!!!

AMAZING!!! Seriously

Thanksgiving morning with my Pop-Pop

Wow this Thanksgiving was awesome! I had so much fun with my family and the ride wasn't even too bad. We didn't hit traffic and Daddy and Mommy were happy. All I know was that I didn't have to stay in my seat for too long and I slept most of the way.


Man it was awesome, I got to hang out with Pop-Pop and Nino and Lollie (that is what I call Lauren) and Uncle Joey. And Uncle Joey has a dog named Max. He was okay, but barked a lot sometimes. We went to Tia Gladys house and I got to hang out with Mikayla and Mia and all my older bigger cousins and my aunts and uncles. It was so nice playing with everyone.

Me, Mikayla, and Mia

My first poker game!

Then we went to Titi Kenia's house and I saw my other cousins! Man it was a busy busy day on Thanksgiving. Tio Alex and Daddy were singing all types of songs. They were so loud, but they were funny!!!



The next day was probably my most favorite because I got to hang out with MY BEST FRIEND CONNOR!!! Auntie Tracey came over with Connor and we were hanging out at Pop-Pops and then we went for a walk outside down to the park and across the street to the school. Connor and I wanted to go by ourselves, but Mommy and Auntie Tracey said we couldn't do it. These grown ups man!! Always telling us what to do. But they do know what is going on. They are much taller and have a better view of things.

Me and Connor (I know we got caught)

[the adventures of Adrian and Connor coming soon]

Connor and my Auntie Tracey (that is his mommy)

The next day was crazy, Daddy said we went to Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens all in one shot. We went to pick up my cousins Nikko and Chi-Chi. Daddy said he hadn't seen them in a really long time and he was very happy to hang out with them. I thought they were cool. We went to breakfast together and Nikko had this awesome camera and was taking pictures. Mommy said he is really talented!!

On my way to NY

Oh and that night Titi Sugi had her baby shower and I got to hang out with Titi Kristy and Titi Lily. Man I have too many aunts!!!! LMAO I don't know if I am going to be able to keep them all straight! I think I am safe if I just call them Titi. But that is going to be funny when we are all together. I will say "Titi" and 6 ladies will come running!!!!! LOL


Then we had to go home on Sunday, but we went to the diner first with Pop-Pop and Titi Chell and Nino and Lollie and Uncle Joey! That was nice! Then to Titi Kenia's to get Gwen and Titi Janette and home!

Getting big kisses from Pop-Pop at the diner! Love you Pop-Pop

Hanging with my Valentin cousins!!!!

I am still tired from all the running around but it was awesome! Mommy is going to put all of the pictures on Photobucket, like she does.

Oh Man CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!! This is like the best time of the year EVER!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so excited! We are going to New Jersey tonight! I get to see the rest of Mommy and Daddy's family. Can't wait to get kisses from everyone!!

See you all soon!

Check Up Time!

Yeah Yeah Yeah....I got shots...a lot of them....not happy....and I SERIOUSLY

DO

NOT

LIKE

BANDAIDS!!!

For real, what is the point??? I rip those bad boys off as soon as they get on me!!

Well here are the stats: 24lbs 11oz and 31 inches tall.

And I am "ahead of the curve" according to my doctor. Mommy was excited about that. I really am just being myself and doing what I need to do.

So we were waiting for a while to see Dr. Collazo and Mommy was playing with me and took a video of me. She is trying to get me to talk. She caught a bit. Check it out.

I Know I Know...It Has Been A While

Things have been pretty hectic. Well first off I went to see my Cleft Team at UNC and everything is going really well! They are happy with my speech development so far and my palate looks good and they feel it is working well also. Mommy and Daddy were really happy about that. The only thing we are still working on it my eating...yeah I am still not a fan of "real food" as Mommy calls it. I mean hello I am eating!! I just don't like the chunks and stuff. It's just not my thing. We are actually going to see Leah my feeding specialist at UNC today so they can watch me eat. Yeah how boring is that going to be FOR THEM!!! I may just have to put on a show. Mommy says I do it every night for dinner, why not for my snack time. HA HA HA!!!

Oh Halloween was awesome!! I was a LION ROOOAAARRRRR!!!! Mommy said she put pictures of me on Facebook. Yeah, I don't like that because I don't know how to get on it. She won't give me the password and I can't really make sure she is putting up the good stuff.....it is kind of frustrating. But, she is Mommy and I have to do what she says.

Well HOPEFULLY we will be going to New Jersey for Thanksgiving!! There is a lot going on up there that weekend and it would be awesome, but we are waiting to get the "ok" from Daddy's job. I don't know why we can't just go, but I think there are things that grown ups have to do that I don't know about. So I won't question too much, but I WOULD LOVE to see my Pop-Pop!!!

Oh check it out, one night Mommy said Daddy had to work late because he was stuck at a job and I was "the man of the house". So I figured I would do what Daddy does......

I took his spot on the couch and opened up my laptop!!! That is what Daddy does every night LOLOL.


Oh hey Mommy took this video of me this morning. Please don't mind my hair. We just got up and Mommy got me dressed, but she doesn't fix my hair until we are getting ready to leave. LOL





Enjoy!!!

Birthday Party at the Pumpkin Patch!

Well this weekend we went to Hillridge Farms and this place was BIG, like way bigger then the other place we went. And we were celebrating Alexa's birthday. She is my friend that Mari my babysitter takes care of also. She is cool and we spend most of the day together. I had such a good time! We went on a hayride and Ashley and Ronnie were there, and Mari and Romeo, that is my babysitter and her family! We were running in the pumpkin patch and I even got a chance to hit the pinata at the end. I mean when I first saw the stick and kids swinging I really didn't understand the whole thing and why they all got so excited, but after a couple of swings it was SO MUCH FUN! Yeah and I kind of got a little upset when they took the stick to give it to another person.....but they said I was supposed to share and take turns. Yeah they keep telling me about this idea, but I don't like it too much. I do it, I am just not that happy about it....sometimes.....

Anyway. Mommy took a bunch of pictures and Daddy took a video of me playing the pumpkin patch with Ashley and Junior and even Alexa. It was cool. That video is way too long to put up here and Mommy said only family would watch all of it and my other friends would probably get bored! LOL

Well here are some pictures!!!

This is me giving the birthday girl kisses!!

Yeah, we all wouldn't stay still, Mommy wanted to get a pictures of me Ashley and Ronnie, but it didn't work out. At least we are all in the same space!! LOL

Playing with Ashley in the grass! She is so much fun!!

This place was big I was a little overwhelmed by all the pumpkins.

Here we are taking a break! Ashley and Junior made beds on the pumpkins. I sat on Ashley!

Oh check out my skills on the pinata! I hit it like 3 times!!!

I was pooped by the end of the night and it was getting chilly. When we left I fell asleep in the car and slept all the way until the morning!!!! It was a long time Mommy said.

At the Pumpkin Patch!

Okay, let me set this up....I was very excited to go the Ken's Korny Korn Maze. Daddy's company was having their Family Fall Day, but I was very tired....

I hadn't napped all morning and I fell asleep 2 minutes before we got there. When Mommy opened the door, I didn't go back to sleep. I wanted to see everything. I was walking around. It was so cool just being able to roam around. We went up to this tower thing where we could see the BIG corn maze. We didn't do it though.... We did go on a hay ride! That was pretty cool and Mommy and Daddy let me stand up to see out of the trailer thing, of course they were holding me! So in the pictures you can see how tired, Mommy, Daddy and I are LOL Daddy had to work in the morning so he was really tired. Titi Janette was with us and that was cool.

We got a great big pumpkin that Mommy says we are going to carve. I have no idea what that is, but hey I am okay with whatever we do. And then I got a little one for me...and a really really little one that Mommy is going to put my name on!!

Oh and we are going to another farm next weekend for a birthday party! That should be cool!!!

Okay here are some pictures!!

Me and Mommy in the tower.

Loving the slides!!

Seriously really loving the slides!!!!

On the hay ride....I can't remember what I was looking at there!

Going down the BIG SLIDE!!! WEEEEEEEEE

Having a moment with my Daddy!!

I was taking a moment for myself.....I was R E A L L Y T I R E D..........

Light The Night!!

Wow we had so much fun at the Light The Night walk on Saturday. We went because we were raising money to cure blood cancers. That is the type of cancer that Mom-Mom had. Well Mommy did a good job and her office Smith Anderson did a GREAT job! They raised over $5000. Well I don't know if that is a lot or not, but Mommy says it is a lot!! It was cool. I got to meet some on Mommy's friends from work and Gwen, Titi Chell, and Titi Janette came. There were crazy guys with REALLY LOOOOOOOOOONG legs and then these BIG animals, Mommy said they were "mascots"....uh I say they were "weird"! So I ran the other way whenever they came by!

But I loved the balloons!! They were so cool and it was nice being out at night walking around and playing!! Here are some of the pictures! And THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED!!!!!!! It means a lot to all of us!!

Daddy was being silly here. Titi Chell was trying to take a picture.

Me and Gwen were LAUGHING!!!!!

Here is Mommy and Titi Chell with their Remembrance Balloon for Mom-Mom

Just Some Tunes....

Well I really like this weather! It wasn't hot and it wasn't cold and I get to hang out outside more!! I love hanging out outside and riding in my car. It is awesome! And I really like going over to my friend's house and playing with them.

On Saturday, Mommy and Daddy were going to go out to eat to celebrate Mommy's birthday. So Titi Janette was going to watch me. Well she took me outside and we were in my car and went to Mari's house. I was trying to play soccer with Ashley, Ronnie, and G, but I was kind of little and couldn't do it real good. I kept trying to steal the ball! LOL But then, I got a turn to kick it into the net. That was cool!!!

We didn't do much on Sunday. Ran errands like usual, but it was me, Mommy and Daddy so it is always fun just hanging out. Well I was getting tired by the time we were coming back home, but you know me I LOVE my music. Mommy took this video of me in the car dancing. She is too funny. Okay, gots to go ENJOY!

HEY AND DON'T FORGET TO DONATE WE HAVE MOM-MOM'S WALK THIS WEEKEND! And I get to see Titi Chell!!! NICE!

NASCAR Can Wait

Yeah we were driving outside yesterday and I was a little scared of the car. I know! Crazy right. I like when Daddy pushes me around in it, but then I have to hold a button and it makes a really loud sound and it starts moving on its own! I am just not sure about my car just yet. So I get out and push it LOL I know Mommy says I am silly for doing that but hey.

I just have to get used to it, Mommy says. It is now parked in the garage with the other cars. I want to try again today and see what happens.

NASCAR Here I Come!

Well this weekend was a busy busy weekend. We were out non-stop on Saturday morning and on Sunday. But we got the most awesomest thing EVVVVVVEEEEERRRRRR!!! I actually bought this with my own money. Seriously, Daddy gave me money, but said he was going to hold it and then we went to Toys'RUs and I really liked something and we got it!!! I mean I have no idea how this whole thing with money and buying and selling works. I just like to swipe the card on the little black box where they put all the stuff in the bags. Mommy lets me do it.

Sooo anyway!!! We got the Tot-Rod!!! Daddy wanted to get me one of the big trucks, but Mommy said I was too little for it. I mean this one is still awesome it goes like 2 MILES PER HOUR! I know amazing right! There is a handle so Mommy and Daddy can steer the car until I get the hang of it and then I can do it all by myself!!!

Here is a couple of pictures of it from this morning. Mommy took a video yesterday but she can't get it off of her video thing. I don't it is a new little box that she chases me around with trying to get me to do things. It is kind of funny!!! LOLOLOL

See you on the track people!!!!

Gas Mask....That Is All I Am Sayin' GAS MASK

Who thought it would be wonderful medicine to put a plastic mask over your face and make you breath in some weird smoke????? Aren't masks supposed to keep germs and bad stuff OUT. Well I haven't been feeling too hot. I have had a runny nose and it got worse and I started coughing and Mommy wanted to have me checked out because I had pneumonia that one time and she didn't want me to get it again. ANYWAY. We go to the doctor, which was cool because Daddy hadn't been to this doctor with us before. Mommy always takes me to the pediatrician. So it was like a little adventure. They came in, checked me out, I checked out the room, like I always do. The nurse Meredith listened to my chest. I tried to grab the little wooden stick, you know the same old routine and then things changed.....she started saying "Lets give him a nebulizer treatment and see how he does. He may fight it but it will only be for 5 minutes." Now I am not really paying that much attention because I was trying to escape from the room. I mean they were talking so noone could see me try to open the door, right?

Well, they, the nurses get to leave, I tried to have one of them take me with her, but she didn't. And then they come back.....with this thing....it was loud and weird looking. The masked tried to be all cute and look like a fish...no people NOT WORKING I know what fish look like. Mari has a fish tank in the house, we look at them everyday. They don't look like this mask!

Well, they put this liquid in, I am sitting on Daddy's lap and he starts to try to put this thing on my face. WHOA WHOA WHOA, NO WAY DADDY....HOLD ON A SECOND THERE! last time they did this, I woke up in a hospital bed, with weird stuff in my mouth and a lot of pain....not happening. But, he didn't listen. Mommy was trying to get me to calm down...didn't work....nothing worked...no offense to my parents, I didn't want it. I screamed and cried through the whole 5 minutes. It even took me a while to calm down afterwards. But the nurse came in, checked me out again, said I sounded better and they sent Mommy and Daddy home with the machine!!!!! Did they seriously think they were going to do that again?!


Well, they did.....while I was sleeping....they woke me up....I was not happy....I screamed EVEN LOUDER.....yeah I didn't last the whole 5 minutes that time.....

And this morning Mommy tried to be slick. She gave me the mask to play with first....so I did, I checked it out, I put it on my face and smiled at her. She then put it on the tube connected to the machine. I played with it, checked it out some more. Then she put the medicine in....and turned IT ON - NOT HAPPY!!! But then Mommy started to act really crazy singing songs really loud and it kind of just took me by surprise so I chilled out for a bit. I got interested in this commercial and was a bit distracted, then I remembered what was going on with this smoke thing and got annoyed. But by then it was almost over. Mommy said she was really proud of me this morning. So I guess I did okay, but man not a fan of the gas mask...no not a fan!!!!!!


This was me in the doctor's office....yeah you would think Mommy wouldn't take a picture of this, but she did.....she always takes pictures.....

First Time in A Bounce House!

Well let's recap a bit....Mommy gave me crayons.....they were GREAT!.... I had fun!!!....She gave me paper...with the crayons.....I got bored with the paper............I had fun..........in the bathroom......

Mommy didn't find my masterpiece until the next day.....Now she says "No more loose crayons."

So this weekend we went to my cousins Jael and Junior's birthday party. And they had this big thing called a Bounce House. I have to admit I was a bit curious about this big thing that was in my uncle's backyard. I looked at it, walked up to it, but Mommy said I was too little to go in by myself. Well Daddy took me in there and it was CRAZY!!!!!!! There were kids, little ones and big ones all over the place! And my Daddy was throwing them up in the air and they would run to him and he would push them down. Whoa it really was crazy but AWESOME TOO!!! Daddy was bouncing me up and down and when I would try to walk by myself, I'd fall! HAHAHAHA It was pretty funny.

Here is a video of the fun!





At one point I found a corner where I could stand up and watch the action! I needed to catch my breath.

This was Daddy escaping LOL (He was taking me out with his other hand)

I had a really good time at the party, walking around meeting everyone and just hanging out.

Oh so check this out, last night Mommy made dinner late. So Daddy gave me my dinner at my regular time and then they had dinner later. I don't know Daddy wanted soup or something, yeah not my thing. Anyway, so....I needed to entertain myself while they ate in the living room. Well, when I start entertaining myself, things get pretty interesting! LOL I found a new place to hang out in our house. Check it out. I was watching TV from my new "spot"

That is INSIDE our coffee table! LOL The top of the table comes up so you can eat there and stuff. It was kind of funny because all of a sudden I just stood up and popped my head on top of the table and they didn't know where I was LOL. Well Mommy jumped up to see what I was doing on the other side of the table and then said "Don't move!" She is funny about her camera! Daddy was worried I was going to knock myself out, so they lowered the table and my adventure stopped. But now I know what to do when the top goes up!!!

Cleft Palate Gallop September 25th

Hi Everybody!!!

Okay so we all know that I, Adrian D. Corona have, well had a cleft palate. We were able to get mine fixed because Mommy and Daddy have this thing called insurance and it paid for like ALMOST EVERYTHING! But there are some kids out there whose mommy and daddy don't have the money to pay for the surgery. Some kids need even more help because they have a cleft lip and there are like 2 more surgeries that have to happen to fix it! I was lucky.

UNC Craniofacial center is having like a fundraiser thing. It is called the Cleft Palate Gallop and the students from the Dental School are having a race to raise money. There is also a walk on the same day. Mommy said we are doing the walk, not the race. I don't mind which one we would do, I would be in the stroller anyway!!!! LOL

So I am collecting donations! All the money goes to families on a case by case basis to help pay for the surgeries and medical care they need. You can register and come with us if you want or make a donation! You can either give it to me, well actually Mommy or make a donation directly to UNC through the website!!! Here is all the information!

Thanks for your help! http://www.cleftpalategallop.com/index.html

Chillin' in Charlotte with Titi Chell

That is what we did this weekend! We just decided to hop in the car on Friday and go see Titi. Mommy said something about needing a vacation....I slept the whole time there so it was OKay by me!

Oh I had such a good time. I admit I was a little afraid on Dunkin' the dog. He is pretty big like Jersey, but it was cool. Daddy was getting frustrated because I wanted to be on the floor and walking around to go see and find Dunkin' but then I would come running up to get on the couch when he came towards me!!! LOL Yeah and Mommy was surprised because I kept saying Dunkin's name. It is pretty easy to say, not sure what the commotion was about, but they kept asking me to say it, so I would. And then once in a while I would just throw it out there when he would walk by...oh it is so funny to see the adults laugh and get all excited!!!

We went to the pool on Saturday and went swimming. I LOVE THE POOL!!! And then on Sunday we went to the place called Concord Mills and they have a little playground for kids and I was going all over the place and went on the slide. It was fun! Mommy was in there with me. I think she had a little more fun than I did. She was crawling through the tunnels to try to get me to follow her, but I am no fool! You don't know what can happen in those things!!!!

Here are some of the pictures and Mommy is going to put the rest on Photobucket.

I liked running on the couch between Mommy and Daddy! I was cracking up!!!

My Titi Chell and my Mommy, yes I am wearing a hat...you'll understand when you see the other pictures...LOL




Up close and personal! I was running around Mommy trying to scare her and she snapped the picture!

Giving Daddy kisses! I love my Daddy! You see the hat....like father like son...except Daddy didn't want to put his in the water, but I had other plans.......LOL

Yeah, here I am with Titi Chell. She's hot...I am the Man...together we make a good team!

Climbing through the tree!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Going down the slide. I really don't know why Mommy didn't let go of my arms. I mean come on seriously...I am a BIG BOY!!

Here I am just struttin' LOL

Here is the link to the rest of the pictures http://s793.photobucket.com/albums/yy220/jerseyraleigh/Charlotte%20August%202010/?albumview=slideshow
