Num Num Nati’s

Maya with Papa Bill.

Num Num – chicken enchilada with pinto beans and rice. It was so good, Maya had seconds!

Num Num – some sort of organic mixture of apples, mango & vege (I think).

After banging on drums and other musical instruments, & hopping, running & dancing in music class in the morning then a big lunch, Maya passed out cold in my arms.

This afternoon – Alo! He’s got music class this morning, so maybe he’ll take a nice nap for me and hopefully a walk to OB and the OB Park for some playground fun. It’s looking like a beautiful day!

I saw the baby yesterday but left my phone in the car, so no baby pictures today. I can tell you though … he was still as cute as ever.

Babies, Beanbag, Belly Button & Ball

I dropped in later yesterday to visit Sparty’s family.

Jen proves it can be done – carrying 2 kids at one time.

And Maya succeeds in stuffing the pacifier in the baby’s mouth all by herself.

For your enjoyment, another video of Maya being big sister.

Here are some pictures of Alo sent to me earlier this week from Akuch. He’s 8 months old now!

Hanging out in the new beanbag chair.

… with his belly button …

Playing with the big ball. Look at all that hair.

Nati’s with Bill – 11:30!

Sparty

Sparty aka Silas Bruce D’Isidoro Thomas was born yesterday, Cinco de Mayo 2014, at a time not yet disclosed by the parents, weighing in at 8 lbs 8.7 oz, and measuring in at 20 inches long. According to his dad, he’s got a nice set of balls on him … Impressive!!

Sparty now has his own category on my blog site, and the blog title has been changed accordingly.

It appears he’s a thumb sucker.

Meanwhile, Maya remains oblivious to it all …

We didn’t get to see Alo yesterday after all, so no Alo pictures today.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Today’s the BIG day. Maya arrives at Pappa & Amma’s.

& has breakfast.

Takes some selfies.

All in anticipation of her NEW BABY BROTHER!!! Bruce picked Maya up at 6am and Jen & Ron headed off to the hospital. We’re going to the ZOO this morning, Alo joins Maya this afternoon, and Maya has swim. Sometime during all this excitement Sparty will enter the world.

Yesterday, Akuch and Alo at the park (courtesy of Robb).

The Girls

Yesterday afternoon sitting on the deck watching for helicopters and planes. It was a beautiful day. No wind. The temperature was neutral. It felt like body temperature. In the shade it was perfect. Maya wasn’t feeling well so it was a good “quiet” activity.

Below, Annie & Bear wait (im)patiently for their morning walk.

This afternoon – Alo!! He has music class this morning.

Maya gets to swim in her own pool.

We stopped by to see the latest remodel progress to find Ron and Maya swimming in the freezing pool.

Watch out for that SHARK!!

Three Days a Blog

I’m in a workshop this weekend, so I’m turning this post into a 3-dayer. If I’m able to post tomorrow, I will. If not, this will have to hold you over until Monday

Alo with the stuffed bunny the Easter Bunny left at our house for him.

And with his Papa at music class Tuesday.

Little Maya and Jen spent the night last night. The cabinet guys were at their house making noise & Maya needed sleep. This morning playing with the toys from under the stairs (she knows where everything is…).

Today Robb & Akuch are dropping Alo off at 2. We’re going to babysit while they go to Jud’s wedding. We met Jud at Robb’s UCSD orientation lunch, so I think that makes him Robb’s oldest “college friend.” I’ll get home from my workshop around 3:30, so we’ll get to spend some fun time with Alo.

Music, Maya & Alo

Alo attended his first music lesson yesterday. This isn’t the typical music class. It’s a class where kids (babies in this case) and their moms or dads, grandparent(s) or nannies sit and sing, bang on drums and other interesting objects, to the beat of whatever song Miss April is singing. Bruce went with Akuch & Alo and took these pictures.
