Sweet Extract

Javier is always working like crazy so, sadly, he’s not home a lot when the boys are awake. Weekends are the rare exception.
As you can see from this video taken over Thanksgiving weekend in Tahoe, Daddy is in HIGH DEMAND! Between Goose, Sebastian and Nicholas vying for his attention, there’s hardly any of him [...]

Can you guess which boy is hiding under which hood? It’s a tough one, I know!

This is what they were watching:

I don’t know if it’s the red light on the front of the camera that gets their attention or if they have a Gloria Swanson complex but, man, these boys love a motion picture camera!

The boys had their one-year check up recently and here are the stats:

It seems this growing thing slows down dramatically after the first year, huh? Also, I’m not really sure [...]

After an absurdly long delay (blame it on the travelling – sorry), we’re back!
Yesterday was Halloween and, for the first time, the boys dressed up. Or rather, we dressed up the boys. I’m fairly certain that this was done for my and Javier’s entertainment rather than their own but it sure did yield cute [...]

Sure, they always look sweet in the photos but this is what the little snots are like in real life:

Fighting for a telephone on Abuela’s lap about month ago.

The boys have, for the most part, developed motor skill-wise in tandem. Usually (but not always), Sebastian does something first.
He put food in his own mouth first and was followed by Nicholas shortly thereafter. He dragged himself across the floor like a wounded soldier first and was followed by Nicholas shortly thereafter. He pulled himself [...]

They’re heeeeeere.
Teeth, that is.
If you look carefully in Sebastian’s mouth, you can see a tiny little spot on the bottom left where a tooth is struggling to get out. Nicholas has got the same thing on the right side. Looks like they’ll have matching toothy grins within a few weeks. Photos will follow.
