17/52 weeks / Semana 17/52

Al fin me salieron algunas fotos para Auggie. Las ultimas dos semanas sentia que las fotos habian sido mas de Sebastian, y que al pobre Auggie lo tenia relegado :(.

Igual, siguen siendo semanas locas. Jason llego del campo el Viernes en la tarde. Sebastian anda con papitis y recontra engreido. La semana proxima me toca salir a mi. Me voy con el Auggie al sur, veremos como nos va esta vez.

Esperamos que esta semana Emma, la hija de nuestros amigos Matt y Jen ya este por estos mundos. Sebastian le dedico una foto :0)

Finally I took some Auggie pictures. The last two weeks I felt that most of the pictures were about Sebastian and that poor Auggie was being forgotten :(.

Our weeks are still very crazy. Jason come back from the field on Friday afternoon. Sebastian has attachment issues with him and does not leave him alone. Next week is my turn to go to the field. I will go to the south with Auggie. We will see how it goes this time.

This week we are expecting the arrival of Emma, the daughter of our friends Matt and Jen. Sebastian has dedicated a picture to her :)

Y el chiqui cumplio medio ano. Ahora sus pelos ya no estan tan parados. Para la foto, le mojamos el pelo y e hicimos un peinado lamido de vaca. Ya no quiere andar sentado y se movia y paraba muchisimo. Sebastian dormia mientras tomabamos las fotos :)

And little Auggie turned 6 months. Now his  hair is not that spiky. For the pictures, he wet his hair and gave him what in Spanish we call a cow's lick hairdo. He does not want to sit still anymore. he moves a lot and just wants to stand up. Sebastian was sleeping while we took the pictures

16/52 week / 16/52 semana

Los dias se nos pasan volando. Andamos a full con el nuevo proyecto en la oficina, trabajando fines de semana y todo. Aqui lo re-poquito que pude, pero no queria atrasarme. Auggie esta hecho un engreido, no quiere andar en la cama, solo quiere estar sentado o en los brazos de alguien. Sino llora como si lo estuvieran torturando L


Sebastian esta cada dia mas hablador, ahora responde a todo Qua? (Que? What?), y no le gusta cuando cambio la letra de la cancion de los pollitos. Dice No mama no!, oink oink chancho, pofkuewgfj (no sabe decir pollitos cambia el nombre cada vez que lo pronuncia) pio pio. Con un tono de voz muy serio. El otro dia les estaba cantando una cancion a los 3 chicos y el condenado me dice mama shhh, con su dedo tapando sus labios. Segun el estaba cantando feo L


Y asi van pasando los dias y solo nos quedan 44 dias mas en Chad. Jason se fue hoy al campo y regresa posiblemente el fin de semana, derrepente un poco antes, derrepente un poco despues.



Time is flying, we are full with the new project the office is starting up, working during weekends and everything. Here the little I could handle this week. I do not want to get behind with this project. So, at least 4 pics.  Auggie is so spoiled, he does not want to be laying anywhere, he wants to sit or in someones arms. If not, he cries bloody murder L


Sebastian is a little parrot, now he responds everything saying Qua? (Que? What?), he does not like when I change the lyrics of our chicks song. He says, No mama, no!, oink oink chancho (pig in Spanish), pofkuewgfj (he does not know how to say chicks, and changes the name every time he pronounces chick) pio pio. In a very serious tone of voice. The other day I was singing for the 3 boys, and he says shhh mama, with his finger on his mouth. According to him, my singing was not nice L


And that is how our days are going by. We just have 44 days remaining in Chad. Jason left to the field today. He might come back during the week end, maybe a little before, or a little after.

Weekly picture: He does not like to be on his back, and we did not have anything to sit him safely, so, we come up with the bucket idea. He liked it for a while, until Sebas started climbing into it too.
Foto de la semana: No le gusta estar echado, y no teniamos nada donde sentarlo, asi que se nos ocurrio ponerlo en un balde. La idea le gusto, hasta que Sebastian empezo a querer entrar el tambien.

Week 15/52 / Semana 15/52

My weeks are super busy these days. We have a huge project in the office to respond to the food crisis in the country that is taking all our time. Jason was again in the East and I stayed with the kids in N'Djamena. Sebastian is becaming a little Tarzan. When he saw a lizard outside the house he was yelling nam nam de Bergo (Bergo's food -our dog-).

Mis semanas andan super ocupadas estos dias. Tenemos un proyecto enorme en respuesta a la crisis alimentaria en el pais que esta ocupando todo nuestro tiempo. Jason estuvo otra vez en el Este de Chad y yo me quede de nuevo con os enanos. Sebastian se esta convirtiendo en un pequeno tarzan. Cuando vio una lagartija en el patio, empezo a gritar nam nam de Bergo (La comida de Bergo -nuestro perro-).

Casi no llego. Semana loca, llena de trabajo. Jason en el campo. Auggie malito (ya esta mejor). Aqui lo poquito que pude...

I almost did not make it. My week has been super crazy, full of work. Jason was in the field and Auggie a little bit sick (he is doing better). Here the few pics I could managed...

Week 13/52 / Semana 13/52

Sebastian is doing great with his potty training, he is mainly using diapers only to sleep. We did not have enough training pants, but he is using his cotton shorts every time we run out of clean undies. He has also started call them "undis". These days, his vocabulary is expanding quite quickly, he keeps asking (in English) What is this? Who is this? with a very cute accent. He is also calling things by its names, such as vaca (cow in Spanish) instead of muuuu and pasta, and perro (dog in Spanish) instead of wow wow. He calls Auggie, baby Auggy and sometimes Augou.

He loves to play in the mud and in the water, he takes every opportunity he has to play with water. This morning he was in the mud at 6.30 am. His hair is very crazy, a friend of mine calls him Mowgly (like the boy from the Jungle Book)

I started a project taking pictures of the boys toys. So that when they are old, they will be able to remember the toys they played with. I started with the "special needs toys" (the ones without head, arms, legs, etc) that Sebastian still plays with and with the Toy Story gang. As soon as he realized that I was taking pictures of his toys, he come to play with them :). He is very funny, every time he plays with "Jessie" (the Ana Bolena from Toy Story), he sees her headless body and says Ohhh Noooo!!!

Auggie refuses to eat from the bottle. He prefers to drink his mommy's milk from a cup, which is great. He has been a little bit difficult this week with his food. So we decided to start trying solids with him. He seems to be ready. We fed him with rice cereal on Sunday, and he was quite happy. We first checked on Friday if he will be ok sitting on the feeding chair. He is a little bit small, but he managed to stay up. He is starting a month earlier than Sebastian. But I think he is doing very well.


Sebastian esta progresando muy bien con su entrenamiento para usar el bano. Ahora usa los panales principalmente para dormir. No tenemos suficientes calzoncillos de entrenamiento, asi que esta usando sus shorts de algodon cuando todos los calzoncillos estan sucios. Los ha empezado a llamar "Undis" (por calzoncillo en ingles) estos dias, su vocabulario se esta expandiendo rapidamente. Pregunta a cada rato (en Ingles) What is this? Who is this? (que es esto?, quien es?) con un acento bien rico. Esta tambien empezando a llamar a las cosas por sus nombres: vaca en vez de muuuu, pasta, perro en vez de guau guau. A Auggie lo llama Bebe Auggie y algunas veces Augo.

Le encanta jugar en el barro y en el agua. En cada oportunidad que tiene, se escapa a jugar al barro o al agua. Hoy por ejemplo, estaba jugando en el barro a las 6.30 am. Su cabello esta hecho una locura, una amiga lo ha empezado a llamar Mowgly (por el nino del libro de la selva)

He empezado un nuevo proyecto, estoy tomando fotos de los juguetes de los enanos. Asi, cuando sean grandes, podran recordar los juguetes que tenian. He empezado con los que llamamos : los chicos con necesidades especiales :), aquellos sin brazos, piernas o incluso cabeza, y he seguido con la pandilla de Toy Story. Apenas Sebastian me vio tomando las fotos, se acerco a jugar con sus juguetes. Es muy gracioso el enano, a Jessie (Nuestra Ana Bolena de Toy Story), cada vez que juega con ella y ve su descabezada figura dice: Ohhh Noooo!!!!

Auggie no quiere tomar mamadera, prefiere tomar la rica leche de su madre en vaso, lo cual es perfecto!! Esta semana no quiso comer mucho, asi que pensamos que ya esta listo para probar comida solida. El viernes lo sentamos en la silla de comer para asegurarnos que se sentaba bien, y el domingo empezamos con cereal de arroz. El enano es un poco pequeno para la silla, pero se sento bien derecho. Esta empezando un mes antes que Sebastian, pero le fue muy bien, y no tuvo ningun problema en aceptar la comida.

5to Mes / 5th Month

Auggie turned 5 months yesterday. He almost sits by himself and it is harder to keep him still for the pictures :)
Auggie cumplio 5 meses ayer. El enano casi se sienta solo, y es mas dificl mantenerlo quieto para las fotos. :)

Y asi es como sigue cambiando.... And this is how he keeps changing...
