NYE Guest

The twins are so excited to have guest this weekend. Sam came all the way from Washington to visit. More guests are expected through out the day, including more smaller children.

Squirmy Babies

Daddy Quique was so happy the twins could hold their own bottle, a few minutes into the feeding the wiggling started. They realized they don't have to drink their bottle in the sitting position. Ada now likes to finish her bottle standing up.

A Christmas Video

Benjamin had tons of fun playing with his cousins and pretending he's their age. Ada and Navi loved having the freedom to run around their Great Grandmother's house.

Future Rugby Star?

There's no leaving these two alone. Navi needs constant rescuing from his sister. Ada is now being tought what 'no' means.

More Christmas Fun

A Christmas morning kiss.

The Abuelitas made tortillas from scratch to accompany the spicy menudo, which the kids had for breakfast and included cow stomach and tripe dubbed "wiggles" by Alexis, Ada loved it.After our Christmas breakfast we all went outside to catch some more sun of course.Paloma provided plenty of fun and entertainment. Ada loved chasing her around.
Back at home there were a few more gifts to open.

Again, the paper ended up in their mouth.

Christmas Pictures

Our holiday celebrations started at abuelita's backyard taking in the sun.The real celebrations began on Christmas Eve at abuelitas Mester's house or 'Pe-te' as the kids will one day call her, just like all the other grand kids have called her before. The kids had free range of the house, there was plenty of family to keep an eye on the twins.The twins were not shy with anyone. They were happy to be held by whomever. That's their tia Elva, or Vita as they one day will call her. Ada and Navi were at a good age to open gifts. They loved tearing at the paper.
And eating it too.

New Mode of Transport

When Navi needs to get somewhere quickly he does so by crawling on his hands and feet. He moves fast too.

Family Outing With The Fernandez'

The day turned out nice so we all decided to go to the zoo.

Navi enjoyed looking at the alpaca in the petting zoo and was ecstatic when he got to pet a few goats.Lunch time was extra fun for the twins, the daddies let their guard down and allowed them to eat foods they normally would not eat; nachos, a hot dog, fries, and chicken nuggets. Hooray for special occasions. Oh what fun the twins had with their cousins Alex and Ben. Everyone rode the Zoo train and enjoyed it very much. The daddies enjoyed themselves watching the twins ride the train, they think they will do it again many many times.

They loved it! They were able to stand up and watch the scene at their leisure.

Hair Fancy

Ada was fascinated by her 'primas' beautiful long hair. The daddies wonder if Ada will let them keep her hair short, easy to maintain, throughout her youth.

Santa Came Early For The Twins

Thank you Nonna and Grandpa! - The Twins

Many Happy Returns

The twins and daddy Quique went on a tasting for birthday cake, here's what they got. Happy Birthday Jason!

Reach For The Stars

With very curious minds and a taste for whatever they can grab, the daddies decided to wait until next year for a real Christmas tree, so they went with a Christmas Yuca tree.

Pillow Fight

Ada and Navi love to play with pillows. They have such fun being launched and rolling around in the plushyness.

Get Down & Boogie

Here's something his Abuelita tought him, he dances to the rythm of, "ti-di-ti-ti-ti-di..." as will Ada, she's a little more spastick though.

Garlic Capital of the World

The twins spent their Sunday in Gilroy. Alexis had a soccer match near by.
Here is Navi being very uncooperative in a picture with his cousin Benji.

What's Up?

Her little butt, that's what. This is how Ada takes her naps everyday, daddy Quique finds it quite humorous.

Is It Winter Yet?

The daddies cannot believe these low temperatures we are having, but they know how to keep the twins warm.

Big Appetites

Big kids need big snacks.

Playtime

The daddies are having so much fun just sitting back and watching the twins interact. They can't wait untill they can toss them out in the garden and let them back in when it's dinner time.

Kids And Their Fashions These Days

Maybe he'll grow up to be a plumber.

Peek-A-Boo

Interaction between the twins happens more each day, which makes it easy for the daddies to do some chores.

The Colours of Autumn

The twins went to Salinas today and hung out with abuelito Juventino and abuelita Yolanda.

Sadly the yard had no fruit left (except persimmons, oranges, lemons and pistachios), but Navi had much fun playing in the pile of leafs.

To Our Four Legged Friends...

Thanks for making the weekend fun for the twins.

Warm, Comfy and Cozy

With temperatures reaching below 20 at night and low 40s in the day with, the twins enjoyed much of their time inside.There was plenty of entertainment and happenings.Then finally the got their day outside. Lunch at Squaw Village and a brief snow introduction.
Unfortunately Navi's snow outfit did not allow him to move much. So... down he went.

Hope Everyone Had A Great Thanksgiving

Look What She Can Do

But who will walk first? Navi has the strength and the will to explore, with speed. But Ada has the balance and the patience to perfect it. Being good parents we will point out it's not a race - Jason's got $5 on Ada.

¡Bravo Adalina!

Yesterday Ada went from a squat to standing up, holding it for 6 seconds, all by herself.

Our First Fort

What fun the twins had in their fort.
With three entrances and a window.

It was all smiles and giggles.And curiosity of course. But in the end it had to come down, thanks Navi.
