Comic con and more

I got a little insight into what it means to be a working mom this weekend, luckily it was a one time gig cause I don't think I could do that on a permanent basis I have a new respect for women who work 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I don't know how they do it, I was asleep by 8:30pm every night, and was still tired the following morning. I worked the convention starting wednesday through the weekend and 10 hours a day for 5 days had me missing Vale and Kevin so so so much...Aside from missing my family big time, I had a great time, my costume was comfy, my employer and "co-workers" were cool, I got to see a few actors and made some much needed moola. Although I'm not a comic book fan, I think it's really cool how the con goers are so into it, I mean they LOVE their comics, about half of them were dressed up as their favorite super hero and most people went all 5 days!

Kevin was awesome, he hung out with Vale the whole time, even bringing her over for lunch so I could feed her, what a guy! :)
These pictures were taken by Judith and Moises for Marvel. Oh, I guess you'd like to know what I'm dressed up as, I was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agents for the Avengers movie coming out next year, the costumes were worn in the movie and the stage is from the movie too! I must have posed with marvel fans for 1,000 pictures (or more) I hope my eyes were open in all.

And because I know you guys want pics of Vale here are a few from a couple weeks back, can you believe she's 4 days away from 10 months??!!!



p.s. she took 2 steps a week ago, this is how it went
-Vale is holding onto the couch
-Vale sees mom holding her arm out inviting her to come
-Vale lunges forward and takes two glorious little steps, we can't believe it! She lands in my arms, the crowd is ecstatic and we want a repeat, but she won't-hasn't tried it again since then! so we wait, very patiently, for her to be ready for a repeat performance.
