In Spanish this phrase literally means "pure life" but is more commonly thought of as meaning "full of life." Costa Ricans use this phrase to express a philosophy of strong community, perseverance, resilience in overcoming difficulties with good spirits, enjoying life slowly, and celebrating good fortune of magnitudes small and large alike. This blog is about our life... Pura Vida!

Maria turns 2!

Wednesday came and went, and my sweet little girl is now TWO! I can't even believe it! Here is a picture of the big girl on her birthday! And here is a picture of her Dora cake that I made! She loved it! She kept saying "ria's cake"!
And here is her with some of her presents, including her new potty chair! Let's hope she puts it to use soon!!


We also had a doctor's appointment yesterday. Maria is still below the 1st percentile for her weight. But she's still growing...even if not very fast! She seems very healthy otherwise! She still loves being big sister and now she pretends she is the doctor and Emma is her patient! :) So cute!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

The cake looks great Katie!! Nice work. I bet Maria loved it.
Sweet new ride too, Maria! You'll be having a lot of fun with that this summer I bet.
