Javier recovering. 

He was so sick the past two weeks with RSV which developed into bronchiolitis.  The worst was when I had to take him to get a chest x-ray to check for pneumonia.  They put him in an apparatus that looked like it belonged in a Medieval torture chamber.  Just awful.  Fortunately he didn’t have it and after several days on antibiotics/albuterol/steroids his breathing became easier.  While he was sick he slept even less than he does on a normal day, which is to say next-to-nothing.  He is, however, sleeping through the night even if he only takes maybe a nap a day.  At this rate he’ll never grow.

the stain is just water – it dried before we left.

a couple m&ms before the fiesta.

Last Saturday Emilia conquered her fear of ‘the monkey’ and went to Monkey Joes for her friend, Jackson J’s, birthday party.  She bounced and ran like a crazy person for two hours straight.  Sheer bliss.

documenting the two-handed-bottle-feeding technique.

a terrible picture of my sweet andres.  he’s always smiling and the two seconds he cries it’s because he’s hungry.  put him down on his tummy and he’s out in two-and-a-half-seconds.  this is his face 90% of the time – giggling and with his hands towards his face.  btw – at 3 months old the bottom two teeth are just under the gum line. yikes.
