Quetzalli's first steps in her baby walker

Yesterday, February 19, my baby Quetzalli gave her first steps in her baby walker.

We seated Quetzalli in her brand-new baby walker, which at first she did not liked. Whenever we putted Quetzalli in her baby walker, she would cry or either get nervous. As I said to her mommy, she almost look terrified.

She seated with her hands grabbing the sides of the walker. And after a few moments of being there, she would ignore her toys, and start crying.

But yesterday it was different. We put Quetzalli in her baby walker, and at first she was nervous again. She felt not confident. Her little hands grabbing the side of her seat. But surprisingly, she began putting her little feet in the ground... and started pushing! She began to move the baby walker backwards. We were all surprised. I went to grab the video camera and film her.

When I got back, whith my equipment, she was all happy and secure in her walker. At least she was not scared of being alone in her walker. Even that she is still small, she was able to move slowly the walker. Her devilish look while moving her baby made me believe she was going to be a joyful girl. At some point Quetzalli got excited and do small jumps. Her little feet moved very funny, as if she really had a liberating feeling.

Quetzalli lasted about an hour playing in her walker. We were watching her, while I was filming her movements and facial expressions. Her playful and lively eyes indicated she was having a blast! But as time passed, I guess she got tired and began to cry.

Her mommy and me were so proud of our young playful daughter.

Quetzalli en Teotihuacan

Hello dear Quetzalli.

I want to tell you a little bit about your first trip to Teotihuacan, and the first to any pyramids in Mexico.

After leaving Mexico City, we too the road to the pyramids, which goes through Ecatepec and Acolman. It was on December 31, 2006, on the final hours of the year. We arrived to Teotihuacan around noon. Once we were there, we prepared you to go out, with your warm clothes and us putting the kangaroo carrier.



At first your mommy was carrying you, when we entered into the ancient and desserted city. We saw the pyramids at far, so I told your mother that I should be the one carrying you in the kangaroo carrier. So I put it, and put you inside, with your face towards me.

At some moments you were crying, but then you got tired, and fell asleep. We continued walking and exploring palaces with you in my belly. You were wearing your red cap we bought you in San Juan del Rio, so you wouldn't get any cold air bother you. And we kept walking until we reached the base of the pyramids. Well, not exactly the base, because your mommy was tired. But it was pretty near.

Over there we took pictures. Then your mommy carried you, because I went up to the pyramid top. You stayed with your mommy in a small pyramid eating.

The following day, we noticed that your cheeks were red as strong blushes. Only that we discovered they weren't blushes, but sun burn. Apparently your delicate light skin got burned under the Sun of Teotihuacan. This has been the first this has ever happened to you. I don't know if this will happen to you again when you grow up. But now we know you have delicate skin to take care of whenever we are again doing any trip in the outdoors.
