Look at Emma go

Emma finally discovered how to crawl yesterday evening. She is not crawling all the time yet, but is willing to crawl to get to her favorite toys. Take a look at her video. Sorry for the quick turn at the begining, but that was my bad choice of direction.

Cowboy in trainig

John David's school has a kindergarten rodeo in April. He is learning all about Texas, and even some songs he sings around the house. I have heard him sing "deep in the heart of Texas", and he even knows the chicken dance. Very cute to see him concentrate on the different motions, and still have fun. The most exciting thing so far has to be the boots and cowboy hat. I bought a pair of boots online , and they arrived today...so he is wearing those around the house. They are little, cute and pointey. He even asked me about the heel...they are a tad big, but he will definitely get some good use out of them. He wore them anytime he got a chance today. When we were little my abuelito Pepe bought my brother a cowboy hat. My mom gave me that hat last night, so John David was also very eager to wear the hat today as well. Make sure to check out the March pictures...you don't want to miss John David in his cowboy gear with his scooby doo pj's.

Can we get that?

Sammy is definitely paying more attention to things. The other he was watching the disney channel and ask me if we could buy something he saw on an infomercial. It was some kind of toothpaste dispenser. I ask what for, and he almost recited back to me the whole commercial. It was quite funny to see his little brain thinking and discovering that this was a good product for our house. Sammy still enjoys being the silly one, and loves to laugh and try two make people laugh. He is a great helper and and knows that it is best to remain impartial. When JP and I ask him who is his favorite...he says both of us.
A couple of weeks ago he even told me that Emma's favorite color is pink. I asked how he knew, and he said that all girls like pink. I said what about purple, and he said "silly mommy, purple is a boy color"...I had to hold in the laughter.

Carlos as a two year old

Over the last two months Carlos has definitely changed. Not only has he grown physically, but his vocabulary is also increasing rapidly. He will definitely repeat things, and knows quite a bit of words now. He is also developing his emotional self. He screams when he doesn't like something, and has no problem telling you what he wants. He is still a cutie, even when he is giving me two year old attitude. We will definitely see Carlos come out of his shell more as this year goes by...look forward to many more laughs.

Emma...11 months.

SO here is a quick update on Emma as an eleven month old. She enjoys screaming for fun and for attention. She has discovered she likes Player milkshakes, sherbet, and catfish at the Manchaca Firehall. She is still scooting on her bottom, but is now spending more time on her tummy, willingly. As a result she slithers around on her belly, but still in backwards motion...every once in a while she is rocking on all fours.
It is hard to believe that we are planning her first birthday party already. On one hand I'm excited about all the fun birthday things, but then I remember that she is suppose to be our baby...but she is growing very quickly, and that is bittersweet.
