Girlfriends

And I don't mean girls that are friends. I've been embarrassed to post this link, but Xavier's new found pastime is nothing to be ashamed of, I've decided. He likes to kiss people. Ok, specifically little girls. Sorry, Pippi, there are others. Since these pictures went online he has also met and kissed 3 year old Joclyn and 2 ½ year old Isa. He thinks they (the girlfriends) are fantastic! He stares at them, smiles, bats his eyelashes. He’d wink if he knew how. We all know who he takes after in this behavior. Pretty soon he’ll be looking up little girls’ dresses. Ok....click on this link. Pippi's parents have forgiven us, but I'm not sure if they will ever allow them to see each other again...and it's not just because they are moving to CT.

Sigh...Teething

We can almost hear the teeth coming in...the bebe is restless and very fussy...so what we are actually hearing is him tossing and turning and, occasionally, crying in his sleep. He finally has one tooth, botton front, and another is coming in. Poor guy...he hasn't been sleeping well, this whole week and how much longer?

He has also, finally, learned to clap (properly...for those that know his weird hand-slap clap)
He is also shaking his head to say no and sometimes also shakes his index finger at the same time, kinda like his abuela does to him when he is being bad.
He has mastered standing up unassisted...because he falls so often. We have been watching and think it's because he tries to run...on his tip toes. When he takes his time he sorta looks like his dad when he walks. M, is this the way D walked when he first learned?
