The Olympics

Olympics-

The games were in London and the boys loved Micheal Phelps and Usain Bolt ( no surprise there).  They love wearing their underwear, jumping off the couch, and "swiiming" for gold down the hallway.

Arrow at 7 months

You basically eat.  You eat ritz crackers, pick up cheerios, and love string cheese.  Its the four teeth - two top and bottom teeth.

You crawl- still the worm style, and can sit up.  You love to laugh and smile all of the time.  I must hear at least twice a day, "He is one happy baby".  Its true!  The other day a woman at the store kissed your foot and said thanks for letting her do that.  Today at Dad's work party you smiled at someone and she yelled, "Hey that baby smiled at me!  I made that baby smile!"  You make a lot of people's days.

 Like Tonio, you are a messy eater.  I love the tilt of the head picture.  You like to do that to and it makes you look like you are flirting. 

 We are at the river for Tonio's birthday and this is the sweetest picture.  I love the green background and you are both smiling together- amazing.

Birthday present from Uncle Tony. 

 Another wonderful birthday cake made by Daddy.  This year was a baseball diamond. 

 Moving in to our new place. 

 For Tonio's 5th birthday we went to the Old Fashioned Video Games and then to dinner at the Rainforest Cafe.  Your dad hated the place.  It was loud and kind of crazy with lousy food but the boys liked it.  There were aquariums and moving fake apes.  What is there not to like? 

 Miguel asked this guy if the balloon animals were free.  Miguel came back and said they were.  So we got two balloon bow and arrows and it cost $12!  Another reason Daddy didnt like it.    Notice that giant ball of gum in Tonio's mouth--- from the claw at the old fashioned video games. 

 In the new house. 

 At the River for Lucci's 7th birthday:
Max, Tonio, Miguel, Lucci, Brad's daughter, Gia, Amelia

 They all camped in the tent with Dale. 

Labor Day

 Baseball with Lucci and Gia.

As for the last four years, we go to the river with Tony to celebrate Labor Day and Tonio's birthday.  It was a gorgeous weekend filled with canoeing, swimming of the dock and berry picking. 

Turk Street

We bought a house- a piece of the American dream (why!  Why???)

Arrow on the move

Arrow you have a great pre-crawl.  Its like the worm.  You do not how to move your arms at the same time as your legs so you first move your arms, fall on your tummy and then scoot forward.  You can move surprisingly fast doing this.

You love LOVE eating paper.  You will find that piece on the ground and eat it.

A top tooth came in.

 At the Academy of Science-  6 months

 Ready get set go!

You are still the happiest and cutest baby. 

Birthdays and school

Yesterday was a big day-- it was Miguelito's sixth birthday and his first day of first grade and Tonio's first day of kindergarten.  You both were so sweet with your new haircuts and uniforms.  You both did well at school- no tears.  At the dinner table when we had pizza, as requested, Miguel said his high of the day was, "Playing with Tonio at recess".  My heart melted.  It is so hard to believe my little boy is 6.

Miguel at 6
-  He loves toys especially action figures (wrestlers, spiderman, star wars)
- He loves watching Michael Phelps in the relay at the Olympics
-  He is a great swimmer
-  His favorite foods:  chicken nuggets, pizza and hamburgers- homemade of course, although he really wants McDonalds
- He loves subway sandwiches

- He has to sleep with a ton of toys/ blankets/ books in his bed.  Sometimes he organizes them to make a wall around the bed.
