Mateo's Adventurous Month

Mateo's been quite the traveler lately. In our last blog post, we chronicled our trip to Texas (thanks to Mateo's Saba, by the way, for all those great photos). Since then, we've traveled to San Diego and New York. Our San Diego trip was over Mother's Day weekend, and five generations of Anita's maternal family convened to celebrate. Our trip to New York was primarily to attend Jesse's friend Lucas' wedding in Woodstock, but we spent a few days in Manhattan and Brooklyn visiting Jesse's friends and family, and also had fun staying with Mateo's Saba and Savta in Woodstock. We've accumulated lots of cute pictures over the past month, including some from right here in the Bay Area, so without further ado, here they are:

Bay Area

We were so busy enjoying our sunny picnic potluck in Golden Gate Park for Jesse's birthday that we hardly took any pictures, but we did get this cute one of Mateo.


Daddy reads Mateo reads one of his favorite books, Rainbow Rob.


Mateo visits his friend Maya.


They have a staring contest.


A drum circle.


A wrestling match.


And some tummy time.


San Diego

Mateo's first visit to the beach (well, at least the first time he was awake for it).


Getting ready for the next wave.


Ooh, that's cold!


Taste-testing the sand.

Paper weights are great.


While we're waiting for Lucas and Xiaoyun's wedding to begin, Mateo's Saba snaps a series of super-cute pictures of Mateo.








Going for an evening stroll around Cannon Circle after the wedding.


Woodstock is lots of fun!


Back in San Francisco

Happy to be back home.
