Soccer Star

Tiago has been spending time lately learning how to kick balls around the house.  They are his new favorite toy, and he is perpetually asking us to retrieve them from under the couch.  The videos below are from a soccer session in the kitchen with his Dad.  Pretty soon I am going to move this activity out of the house...


Eating Like a Professional

Since it's summer in Southern California, we have been eating tons of produce, and hanging out at the farmer's markets.  There are lots of great things to eat, and we have been giving Tiago everything so he can try it.  And he is pretty much willing to try everything. So, the following are pictures from our adventures in new fruits and veggies.

Watermelon on the porch - first tried the rind...


Then figured out that the red part is much better...

Strawberries from the farmer's market.  They were wonderful, picked that morning.

Cucumbers are an old favorite of his...one of his first veggies.  Now it's required that he have one piece for each hand.  And he usually is careful to not put too much food into his mouth at once, except for cucumbers.  Those he will eat until I make him stop.

Corn on the cob.  He demanded to try Dad's, and I wasn't sure how well it would go, but it was a huge hit.  We just need to work on how to eat it.

Lovin' it!

Now he's got it figured out.

Fun this Weekend!

We went to Bakersfield and spent some time with Jaime's grandma, aunts, uncles and cousins.  Tiago had a wonderful time exploring and playing with his cousins.  He laughed at everything they did, and was completely exhausted by the time we went home.

Christmas 2011

 This year we spent Christmas in Amarillo.  Tiago and I were there for 2 weeks, and enjoyed the time with his grandparents.  It was great when everyone showed up, and Tiago learned a lot from watching his cousin Connor.  They worked on taking the kitchen apart, and pushing buttons on the phones and the remote controls.  I was excited to see two beautiful snow falls, and had time to catch up with some old friends, which is always a good thing.
