Hola? Hola?



Hola? Hola!! Estoy bien, gracias. He crecido mucho, corro por todos lados, zapateo, bailo, mi dedito indice entra y apunta TODO!! He descubierto muchisimas cosas desde que estoy en Bolivia y he aprendido muchisimas cosas, hablo varias palabras, todas en español: Hola, agua, uva, huevo, mas y de seguro no me entienden las demas que digo, pues hablo y hablo y no me entienden! ;) Aun sigo siendo muy expresiva en mis cariñosos abrazos que a veces terminan con una mordedura, ultimamente no he dado besos como lo hacia antes, pero si he aprendido a dar la mano y a caminar con los zapatos. Estoy aprendiendo a jugar con otros niños y eso alegra a mis papis. Me encantan los animales, las frutas, las flores y en general la naturaleza. He aprendido a pisar bichos, pues aqui no se puede confiar y hay que matar a todo bicho que se cruce frente a uno... y soy muy buena en ello. Me encanta jugar con agua, ayudo inclusive a hacer trabajos que incluyan agua, como lavar ropa o platos, el piso o regar las plantas. Las pelotas siguen siendo mi juguete favorito, pero tambien estoy descubriendo el placer de jugar a "pretender"... estoy creciendo, rapido y feliz, disfrutando el calor de Santa Cruz, mi familia aqui y los amigos. Han sido bellos meses, y yo ya tengo 15!! Cuando me preguntan, 'Bahia, cuantos años tienes?' yo muestro mi dedito diciendo 1!!!! :D

Hola? Hola!! I am fine, thank you. I have grown up a lot, I run everywhere now, I also stump, dance, and my little indice finger goes EVERYWHERE and points EVERYTHING!! I have discovered many things since I am in Bolivia and also I have learn tons, I speak many words now, all in Spanish: Hola (Hi), agua (water), uva (grapes), huevo (egg), mas (more) and most probably people are not understanding the other words I see, because I speak all the time but no one gets me! ;) I am still very expressive with my warm hugs which sometimes end with bitting, and lately I haven´t given kisses as I used to, but I´ve learn to shake hands and to walk with grown up shoes. I am also learning and getting better with playing with other children and my parents love that! I love animals, fruits, flowers and all what is nature. Though I´ve learned to step on any bug, since here we can´t trust the insects and we need to kill them... and I am quite proficient on that! I love playing with water, helping with chores that involve water, such as washing things, moping or watering plants. The balls are still my favorite toys, but also I am discovering the pleasure of "pretend" games... I am growing, fast and happy, enjoying the warmth of Santa Cruz, my family here and friends. They have been lovely months and I have 15 months now!! When they ask me 'Bahia, how old are you?' I show my finger meaning 1!!!! :D

Dinner at Mehran & Mery :) yuuuumm!

We had a lovely dinner at Mehran & Mery, and their twins, Yasmin and Nasrin. We ate a Bolivian typical food called picante de gallina, and we enjoyed the beautiful view of their apartment, their swing and lovely company of friends that are like family.

El jueves a media noche fui al aeropuerto para darle la bienvenida a mi Papi, llego a Santa Cruz a eso de las 11:50 pm y hasta el 4 de enero estare con el y mi Mami disfrutando el calor de Santa Cruz y a nuestra queria familia. Cuando lo vi quede estupefacta de verlo, no lo podia creer y poco a poco me fui haciendo a la idea que era realidad y me puse a jugar con el!

Last Thursday at midnight I went to the airport to welcome my Dad, who arrived to Santa Cruz around 11:50 pm and I will spend time in Santa Cruz with him and my Mom until January 4th, enjoying the warmth of the place and our family here. When I saw him I was in awe to see him here, I couldn´t believe it and slowly I realized it was true and I warmed up to him, and played with him!
