7 weeks of Arrow

 Jess G, who is about 7 months pregnant asked if all babies were as zen as Arrow.  I thought so because Tonio was pretty good too.  Julie looked at us as if we were crazy.  She said no and that Arrow was an especially good baby. 

Arrow is a great baby.  He sleeps well, eats well and likes to cuddle.  Our days are consist of taking the boys to school and picking them up.  In the middle we like to go on walks are hang out at home.  We have also gone to many museums and adventures with the boys. 

At 7 weeks he likes to sleep 2-3 hours in the carrier on my chest, has a bedtime routine, and is beginning to smile and laugh.   Although I think its mainly still due to gas. 
You are a great buddy and I am loving being at home with you.

The Race is On

Yesterday, Miggy participated in his first race and it was a triathlon.  Watching him swim, I felt so overwhelmed by emotion and my eyes were watering.  This all while Arrow was in the carrier squiggling and Tonio trying to get cozy in his blanket. 

The race was at the College of San Mateo and freezing.  It was a sunny day but very windy and it was a cold wind.  We were unprepared for that.  Then there were the very intense parents- on set in our heat were Hawaii Iron Man finishers.  Dale, Lucci's dad, commented on how many Facebook and Google parents were probably there based on the super expensive bikes.  The first part was the swim.  Miguel swam the width of the pool twice.  He at times had to hold on to the lane marker, being his first time really swimming alone.  Then he biked about 1.5 miles and then ran .6 miles.  At the end with Tonio, Brian, Savita and family cheering Migs made it to the finish line.  He looked like he was about to puke but he did it.  I was so proud of the little guy.  The medal at the end made it all worth it.  I asked Savita if Lucci would like to try it about a month ago and she said he did not want to, and yesterday he said to Savita, "You didnt tell me there would be a medal".  Que bueno mi amor, Miguel!
