Hi everyone, This marks a momentous occasion for the Perdido family. We're on our first Perdido "family" vacation. We're in Cabo San Lucas because of a generous gift from our mom. We are staying at the 5 star resort, Pueblo Bonito at Sunset Beach.
Lola and I are falling in love with Cabo. My favorite part is the short 2 hour plane ride. I'll be writing more and posting more pictures. Little Emma has been a very good girl. It's very humid...and hot down here so we have to make sure to keep her hydrated.
As I said, it's very humid becuase of the incoming hurricane. But no worries to everyone, they say that it will hit land 350 miles north of where we are. We're just getting some rain, that's all...well, we hope that's all.
Jon here. Looking back these past two months of having Emma, I have come up with a list of 25 signs that show you are caring for a newborn. This also would give you a glimpse of what we have been going through....
25 Signs That You or Someone is Caring for a Newborn:
1. You feel guilty that you overslept an hour totalling 4 hours of sleep.
2. Your computer hard drive is half full of pictures and video.

Our sweet little Emma turned Two Months today. I can't even believe how fast time flies. I took her for a check up and her vaccinations. Oh my sweet girl. She did so well with her vaccines. I was more upset about it than she was. She is now weighing in at 11 lbs 14 oz. (I had just fed her right before going into the office so I think that she may actually weigh less.)
She had a slight fever, but it went away. The next day, she was feeling much better by her smiles. She's starting to smile a lot more now. One of these days we will capture her cute grin on camera.
Jon and Paola met at Grace Community Church while attending The Foundry. This Young Adults Ministry is where we served together. During this time we became best friends and 3 years later began to date.On November 4, 2006 we were married. On August 1, 2008 Emma Christina was born.She is a joy. Such a beautiful blessing and addition to our small family. Praise be to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior for whom we deny ourselves daily,take up our cross, and follow.
