So close to 2 months now, I’ve been battling with wall mounting our plasma TV, so we can call the living room finished! The problems were…
– Dealing with installing Electrical
– Having issue with the TV inputs
– HDMI switcher not working due to quality of HDMI cable
– Installing another more shielded HDMI cable
– Having to buy extenders for a lot of the cables mounted in the wall
But patching the holes and painting went smooth!
Today I finished, below is the completed project and we can now relax in our new living room. Click on the picture if you want to see all the pics.
I’m so excited! Today I happened to be working from home and I put Aiden on his belly for his nap, expecting the usually whining when he woke up and him being on his belly wanting to be picked up, I went in to check on him and notice he was rolling aroud, but not fussy, so I left him alone. I went in a second time and he was on his side, so I’m thinking “maybe he’ll roll-over on his own”. So I left again, then about 2 min later I came back and he was on his back, YAY!
This was the milestone for Aiden to sleep on his belly, according to friend’s and the doctor, we couldn’t have him sleep on his belly until he learned to roll-over. Both Melanie and I were waiting for that day, since he sleeps better on his belly.
I was able to catch 3 roll-overs on video, the most recent one is with his sleep sack on. I asked my “baby reference” friend Andy what to do since I didn’t think he could roll-over in the sleep sack. He said he should be able to, so I put it on him and “bam” he rolled over. Check out the video below with the sleep sack roll-over, he’s a little whiney in the begining.

I had a GREAT first Father’s day! I got to cook some yummy beef ribs, hang out with the family, and almost finish my bedroom/living room transfer project. I hope all the rest of you who are Father’s had a great Father’s Day. Check out all the pics by clicking on any of the pictures below.
So as promised, I’d post some Aiden eating videos. He’s a great eater and actually gets angry and mad if you don’t feed him fast enough. Check out the video below of my mom feeding him this morning.
Well kind of his first words… Aiden has learned a new language from his furry brother’s. Aiden started growling 2 Friday’s back, then last Friday my friend Rajesh came by and we were having Aiden growl for him. Parker was growling and he said, did he learn that from the dogs? WOW, I think Rajesh hit it on the spot. So Aiden’s first words are from Parker and Tobi. A Clip of his growling is below.
As for Aiden, he’s 16 lbs 6 oz., doctor said he’s in the 75% percentile, he had his 4 month checkup last Friday and vaccinations, so we’ve been dealing with all the aftermath issues, like vomiting and being grouchy, but he’s been a trooper, along with his mommy and doing well. I haven’t been able to spend as much time helping with him during the weekends, since I’m still moving our living room and bedroom, my wall mounted TV has turned into a nitemare project, but yesterday I’m finally at a good point, so hopefully next weekend I’ll be done.
The week before his doc appt. he got the stomach flu and wasn’t holding down any food, he was put on the pedialyte diet (kind of like gatorade/pepto for kids). But today he seemed to be back to normal. My close friend Robyn came to visit Memorial weekend and I found out she’s expecting, CONGRATS!!!! It looks like Aiden gave her man Jeff, the Tamura family, and Robyn a stomach flu bug, sooooo sorry Tamura’s!
One last goodie on Aiden is the doctor gave us approval for some solid food, so we’ve started the rice cereal and Melanie will be picking up some other food goodies today. He’s also starting to roll-over, so between that and food, we’ll have some new videos, so check back soon!
So Aiden had his 2 month check up and he had to get 4 vacinations, 3 of which were long needles into each leg and he wasn’t happy. But doc said he’s looking good, Melanie and I are just getting frustrated with this mucusy nose, but I guess it’s normal, we actually think it’s allergies. For those of you that have infants or toddlers, this is a “must have”, get the “NoseFrida” snotsucker, looks gross but does an incredible job!
Added more videos of Aiden and posted some model shots! Click on the picture below to see his latest model session, then on the link below for his latest videos.
So I’ve been purchasing some domains and with Aiden here, I wanted to make our blog to be more of a family site. If you’re reading this, then welcome to our new site! We’ve been very busy with Aiden, so I’ve had gap in updates, but I should be uploading some new pictures and videos soon (Yes Tasha, you’ll be getting your fix again). Hope you enjoy the new site and the address is easy to remember, just think of Melanie’s last name, San Pedro, and my last name which is Salcedo, so the site is sanpedrosalcedo.com, by the way this also happens to be Aiden’s middle and last name.
So Melanie and I had one of our first free weekends in quite some time. I decided I wanted to do something fun Saturday, so on Saturday we started brain storming on what to do. I did some googling and came across tours a the Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield, CA. We ended up going to Jelly Belly and went on the 40 min. tour. Unfortunately the production is closed on weekends, but it was still fun. I hear it’s even funner during the production, according to my cousin Yoli.
After Jelly Belly, we decided to get really full and get some delicious cuts of Steak at the Cattleman’s in Dixon, after seeing the bar napkin, we found out there are also Cattleman’s in Livermore and Newark, so we’ll have to make a visit to our closer restaurant soon.
Today we had 2 Super Bowl bashes to attend. The first was at the Chan’s, we were there for the first half and had some yummy Zippy’s Chili from Hawaii and homemade ice cream. Then we went for the second half to my Uncle Petong’s place where we had Steak, Lechon, Pancit, Chili, and Auntie Mely’s desserts. This year was definitely for the food and not the game.
