yes, i am 'cubanita'...but this entry is actually about this new restaurant in dallas called La Cubanita! YUM-MY DE-LI-CIOUS!! very good authentic cuban food. (i guess i can say that since i'm half cuban) However, you really need to know what to order, otherwise they try recommend some 'american' food just in case you're not into 'ethnic' foods. which makes me think...uh, why else would you be there ...so it doesn't really make sense! ANY-WAYS....
kevin took me there for my birthday this year and we went back again with my best friends Sherry and Matt. i'm convinced Matt was cuban in a former life. not really, but he definitely enjoys the delicious cuisine.
(i recommend ordering the lechon asado and a sweet cold mojito to wash it down...enjoy). 
horrible words in the english language: COLIC, GASSY, FUSSY...
if you have had a baby with any or ALL of the following words associated with them, you know exactly where i am coming from- AHHHHH!!!! this week has been tough. our sweet baby boy has been pretty fussy due to some gas/ colic/ or lack of eating a full meal......no one really knows what it is. he tends to be a 'snack eater'; you know - wanting to eat all of the time in little portions. so when he cries, it's hard to know if he's still hungry, gassy, etc....
as a mom i would gladly have my stomach hurt times 100 just to see him okay. he is now 6 weeks and starting to smile and play, but it's so hard when his tummy is constantly upset. the good thing is- he is sleeping good at night and only wakes to eat...the fussy time is mainly in the early evening. i hope it goes away soon. today was a good day...let's hope tomorrow is even better.
as if the lack of sleep for 5 weeks wasn't enough...i threw my back out on Monday. i was picking up Dylan from his swing...and pop, there you go...MY BACK! OMG...such pain!! after a visit to the chiropractor, ice packs and some anti-inflammatory meds, things are getting a little better. not 100%, but a little better. how am i supposed to care for a newborn and a 2 year old with a jacked up back? Ugh...bad timing!
lesson learned - use your legs when lifting, not your back...GEEZ!
Dylan is 1 month old today. we had our dr. appt this afternoon and he is doing great...gaining some weight and excelling in all of his milestones. well, really...there aren't any major milestones yet, but he definitely has some strong lungs for belting out in 'song'. he goes from 0-60 in 2 seconds...!
Weight: 9lbs 5 oz (25-50%)
Height: 21.8 inches (75%)
sorry i haven't posted pics of baby dylan since he was born 4 weeks ago. here are a couple of my sweet baby boy!
(he is always making funny faces...this one makes me laugh)
The Dallas Cowboys organization is seriously ripping people off. they are charging $30 to park for the games. $30 DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!! keep in mind, these parking spaces are not any where near the stadium like you may think. we had to walk a mile or so...(that seemed like 10). geez, how much will parking be at the new stadium- $100 bucks??!! O.O.C (out of control)
One funny thing came out of the walking experience and i hate to be mean, was the people watching. question - i thought Guess stopped making jeans with that 'cute' little upside down triangle logo on the back pocket like in the '80s. or was it the '90's? either way, Yikes...
