Changes

Hanging out with you two can be so fun but so extremely tiring. Tonio you are learning so quickly. Just last week you started to do your funky crawl and today you stood up in your crib. You just want to go. You watch Miguel run all over and you want that too. You give me an ego boost too. I feel that you love me more than anyone in the world. You follow me everywhere and when I sit on the floor you have to be crawling on me or trying to sit in my lap. It is tiring to others because if I am not around you are pretty whinny lately. You have been crying a lot more. Tonight you cried long and hard before finally falling to sleep. I went in after 15 minutes and held you and you were fine and then I put you down and then you cried hysterically until you fell asleep. It breaks my heart. I think you are learning and growing so much that you get frustrated and it interferes with your sleep. Plus it does not help having Miguel steal all your toys and constantly hitting you on the head. I marvel at you Tonio.

Miguel you are just funny. You flirt with everyone. You are so popular around here. The garbage man stopped and talked to you yesterday, everyone came out from behind the counter at the Cafe to say hi, and at the school district everyone had to come and meet you and tickle you. You just give a shy smile and those big brown eyes melt everyone. You have been very good lately, except tormenting poor Tonio. It has been fun hanging out with you. I love you so much.

Jumping, teething, and hide n seek

This has been an exciting week for both Miguelito and Tonio. Brian taught Miguel how to jump and he played his first game of hide n seek. He loves trying to jump. He bounces on his knees a couple of times and then lifts about a half inch of the ground. Tonio's fifth tooth is pretty stubborn. I can see it but it just wont break through. Every day I say tomorrow it will come through and I have been saying it since Sunday and its Friday already. Tonio is offically crawling, a funky crawl, but a crawl nevertheless. His one knee is to the ground and moving and the back leg is still crossed and he just drags that one around. He gets around though. Yesterday he went into the hall and started to cry; I think he got lost. Overall it has been a wonderful week with the little guys. Both were in great spirits and we had fun together.

Videos

Here are some videos of the little guys. To think I was never going to take videos because I thought they were too depressing to look at later in life. Miguel loves watching himself on tv!

Friends

Yesterday was a great day with our buddies Asher and Eva Grace. Miguel, Tonio and I had a wonderful time playing at the park, eating hamburgers, going on walks, playing memory, enjoying gelatos, and watching Eva walk down Fillmore Street with her huge sunglasses. We had so much fun.

Gentle Please...

Today, as usual, we went to the park. There was a little two year old girl named Sophia that wanted to kiss you Tonio. She would say, "Babeee" and then lean into you. She kissed you and then stuck her hands into your mouth, which you loved because you're teething. Her dad was horrified. He must of said "Gentle Sophia. Gentle pleeasse." I told him it was alright because his older brother playing in the bushes across the park hit him on the head with a wood puzzle and then knocked him over just this morning. A kiss from a cute girl was just what Tonio needed. It didnt help and the dad was still embarrassed and pleaded with his daughter. I had you two all ready to go in the stroller and Sophia came running to give Miguel a hug this time and again the father, "Sophia! Gentle please!" Miguel you liked the hug and then you gave her your hand to hold for a second. It was very cute.

In the beginning

Rolly polly and lightening bug. Sweet peas. Love bugs. Pumpkin, pumpkin bread and pumpkin seeds. Honey bears. Tonio and Miguelito. The loves of my life.

Today was a very windy yet beautiful day in San Francisco with the mischief makers. Tonio is almost crawling, he rocks, does the downward facing dog, and gets on all fours, but still can't put it all together yet. He is trying so hard to catch-up with Miguel. Miguel kept trying to tackle Tonio by holding him and then pulling him forward on to his stomach. At first Tonio thought it was pretty funny, but as Miguel got rougher Tonio didn't think it was that fun anymore.
