Among the many changes that Mateo brought to our lives, one of the funniest and probably the most bizaare things is the sudden appreciation for baby gifts. You see, andrea and I are used to buying gifts for people - for each other, for our friends, moms and dads, teachers, co-workers and even our co-workers’ babies.

And among the people we gave gifts too, the one we’ve had the hardest time choosing gifts for is each other. That’s because, when we give each other gifts, we take the time to choose the most unique one. At least that was before Mateo.

You see, now, whenever there’s an occasion that would allow us to buy gifts, we take the most time scouring gifts for Mateo. In fact, we take twice as much time as it took us to look for gifts for ourselves. We go through all the baby stores we could find for the most unique baby gifts available before we actually decide which is the best one to buy. That’s how meticulous we’ve become thanks to our little baby! I’m just not sure that’s a good thing!
