You fantastic fish you!

Taken last summer at Cozumel.

Since last summer Jasmine has bloomed into quite the swimmer.  Her first time snorkeling was in August of last year and ever since then she´s been so in love with snorkeling and anything to do with water and swimming.

But really, she´s a bit spoiled being surround by the beautiful Caribbean.  Who wouldn´t want to snorkel or swim in this beautiful, crystal clear water?

She has improved her fish like skills by spending these long hot days in the pool that we so happen to have convinently situated outside our back door.  She dives like a dophin, swims like a fish and is dark like another friendly animal, her Uncle Pono.

While we are on the subject, here´s some pictures of the beautiful Caribbean here in Cancun and the Riviera Maya.

Anyone feel like going to the beach?

What´s crack-ka-lackin?

Three teeth at one time, that´s  what´s crak-ka-lackin.  Poor baby Lesi, three at once, but it doesn´t seem to bother her too much.  When she is a bit uncomfortable all we do is cut and peal a piece of apple and she normally sucks on it while we rub her gums gently.  I really wish we knew that before we bought all that darn teething rings and teething toys!!!  

So I guess with the teething comes the baby talk.  Since she´s been sprouting these three teeth she hasn´t stop babbling, and what does she babble you ask!?!?  She babbles, “a-dada-a-dada-a-dada”, and what about mama?   Poor mama, Jasmine did the same thing her first real babbling words were dada.  Oh well, what are you going to do!?!?  But don´t worry, my baby girl Lesi sings to mommy.  Yup, she sings...well its more like humming.  Whatever it is, it is beautiful and mommy loves it.  

I guess good things come in three because not only is she teething and babbling but she´s also rolling over.  There goes the good old days of laying her in one place and not having to worry.  She´s moving now and there´s no turning back!  

But I guess thats all to be expected, she is turning  6 months in two days.  OMG where did the time go?  I think it´s time to start thinking of another one!!!  ;-)

Back on the blogging scene.

I know it´s been forever since I´ve blogged, well more like a little over a year and a half, but during these past few days I was inspired to get blogging again.  I was catching up on some old and new blogs that I follow and thought to myself why wasn´t I blogging?!?!  With all this free time at home why not?  Plus it´s a great way for my family and friends near and far to keep up with our adventures.


Now you maybe wondering what the hell is the title all about.  Well, MexSpanGlish describes our family perfectly.  We are a family of four and sometimes five that were basically born from around the world.  Between the five of us we were born in three different countries and four different cities. Hubby is from the north of Spain...Asturias, Spain to be exact, I come from the beautiful hawaiian island of Oahu, my step-daughter and my oldest daughter were both born in Sin City Las Vegas and our newest addition was born right here in Cancun, Mexico.  So if you didn´t get it yet ¨MEX¨stands for Mexico, ¨SPAN¨ stands for Spain or Spanish and ¨GLISH¨ stands for English, which is the language we speak back home in the good ol USA.  Our family is just as diverse as the title of the blog, plus it´s basically the language we speak at home...a little bit of English mixed with some Spain spanish  and a few Mexican words here and there.  


So there´s nothing more left to say but...Welcome or Bienvenido!!!
