Does this count as using your imagination? Navi likes to run around the room like this while Ada chases him. But then he cries when Ada catches him and tackles him down.
Surprisingly, Ada climbs into her high chair, sits down and gets stuck. Bad thing is she can't get out on her own.
The twins got their own little space in the living room and new storage systems for their toys.
The stools took a little practice to sit on and stay on as well as getting off it and they love it. They are quite good at it now...
Until this happens.
Navi learned how to use a slide yesterday.
And after a few times of Navi sliding down Ada picked it up too. It is amazing how much they learn from each other.
Then at the supermarket they learned how to conduct a non-motorized vehicle, together.
Daddy Jason had to go into work on a Sunday and the whole family tagged along.
Ada might be asking Grandpa for a paid internship filing his papers, then use that money to go backpacking through Asia when she gets older.
Nonna and Grandpa came over for dinner one day and the whole family decided to take a walk to the park.
Ada and Navi had fun with the slides...
And eventually moved on to the grass with a great view of the SF skyline. It takes about 15 minutes now to walk down to the park with the twins which is better than 20, but the daddies can do in 1.25 minutes or less with no twins.
It was time to clean house. Watching Sirleni the twins decided they wanted to help. So Navi and Ada climbed the chairs and hinted at wanting a rag. Navi would do a few swipes at the table, toss the rag and repeat it all over again. The daddies hope this keeps up to when they get older.
How many paper towels does Navi need to blow his nose? Quite a few actually. Navi will rummage through rubbish bins and look for used tissue to 'pretend' cough and blow his nose, eww.
The twins had so much fun staying at their ZiaNonna's house, but it all had to come to an end.
But, not before we go out with a bang at Hooters. Here's Navi and his cugino Todd taking a moment from watching sports to take a picture.
No ordering off the kid's menu for these two, they shared hot wings with daddy Jason.
Navi enjoyed Aunty Jan's water and even helped her out by flavoring it with green and yellow (crayons).
Big cheers to ZiaNonna for letting the twins crash at her place (ps. Ada is not trying to get away from her in this picture, daddy Quique was holding a balloon).
The Lopezjones' headed to Sacramento for a long weekend to attend cugina Tosha's wedding. Their ZiaNonna hosted the twins, and their daddies, and a great big thanks to Nadine and Yvonne for babysitting.
One day the daddies took the twins to Fairytale Land and all four had so much fun walking around.
For lunch it was corn dogs for the whole family. They loved it.
There were lots of farm animals to see. Every time Ada sees an animal she gasps and on occasion calls them, "Pete."Ada was so proud of herself when she made it across this bridge she did a victory dance.
The twins had a playdate with a very shy Punky, whom uncle Doug was babysitting (the twins did not mind that uncle Doug sees other babies). To make her feel welcomed Navi would bring her toys, Ada did not help by just staring at her.
It took a while, but in the end Punky warmed up a little to the twins. Both Ada and Navi were very eager to show her their toys and how everything worked.
With a few minutes to kill before swim class, the twins played a little on the beach. With daddy Jason still serving on a jury, Nonna came to the rescue to swim with Ada.
While daddy Quique was cooking the twins' dinner he heard phone buttons being pushed. Well, this is what he found when he went into the dining room. Navi is holding the phone close to his hear.
The Lopezjones' went down to Salinas today for a feast of tacos de cabeza (head tacos, yes head as in cow head). Both Navi and Ada loved them and ate two entire tacos, Navi and daddy Jason both ate an eyeball. But before that, Benjamin shared his mango popsicle with Navi.
There was lots of playtime in the garden, a duel even.
The twins got in the spirit of things and dressed up.
The whole family went to the park today to take part in the festivities. The twins walked all the way down, what usually takes 2 minutes took 20 minutes - there was a lot for them to see.
Surprisingly, the twins sat still for quite some time watching dancers on the main stage. A volunteer walked by and gave Ada a balloon.
On Thursday the twins had a check up and two shots at the doctor's office. Daddy Jason is on a jury so daddy Quique was on his own for this appointment. The twins were very good in waiting for their turn to see the doctor.
After their appointment and two vaccines later (and one of them really hurt, even the nurse warned me), we had a picnic at the park across the street and the twins had about 1.5 hours to play in the playground.
Every time Navi hears an aircraft in the air he stops what he's doing and points up. Sometimes he spots the craft other times he just continues to point.
The twins went to a new playground today in Alamo Square. Half a block away from uncle Doug's house.
So uncle Doug joined us at the playground.
With daddy Jason serving jury duty Nonna has stepped in at swim class. The twins are now in the Toddler & Me Class and it is a bit more demanding than their previous one.
So off to the SF Zoo's petting zoo we go.
Navi had fun chasing goats and lambs. Ada was 'wowed' by all the animals, but cautious. One lamb made her cry, the lamb gave her a little nudge with its head.
