Dress up

Aiden back to being 3.5. Here his is slinging his baby, wearing a tutu and mardi gras beads.

A Peek into the Future

Here are some photos from a trip to the San Jose Discovery Museum in January. What I love about these pictures is that crazy hair of his that makes him look like a teenager (minus the dinosaur shirt). We've since cut Aiden's hair and he's back to looking like a 3.5 year old. Still its kind of fun to imagine what the future will hold.

Brothers

Hey Mijo,

You want to eat something? Eat this!

Crunch Time

At 7 months, not much is known about little Sol Emmanuel De Souza. He likes to smile. He likes to play with whatever his brother is playing with. He likes to go outside. As you may have seen in a previous post, he likes food. Believe it or not, he is also a workout fiend. Since moving anywhere still eludes him, he spends extended periods of time each day working on his six pack. I do not lie or even exaggerate.

I can't wait to show this one to a girlfriend in a few years.

Yummm!

This little guy is super excited about the food coming his way. I was planning on starting him on solids as late as possible but he was getting so irritated watching us eat and not much bothers him.

Rain

One rainy day last month I asked Aiden what he wanted to do. First there was dress-up including a transformer band-aide on his forehead and an oversized Hawaiian shirt. Then he decided we should go play in the rain. So we did.

Tasting raindrops.

Aidenisms

Aiden, like all kids his age, says the most hilarious things. I keep thinking .... I should write that down and then I forget. Sigh....anyway, here are a couple. I'll try and remember more.

Since Sol was born Aiden has been down in the dumps, pretty much every day. This was a seriously joyous kid, and now not so much. Lately he seems to be returning to his old self. Anyhow, for the last couple of months he says "Not good" every time we ask him how his day went, how the park was, how he felt about playing with friends, even when he appeared to be enjoying himself. After Sol's stay at the hospital, he started saying "because I have kidneys!" if we asked him why his day was "not good".

We hosted Christmas this year and when I was putting Sol down for a nap the family decided to watch a romantic comedy. When Aiden saw the couple kissing he asked, "Why is he bitting her?"

And....finaly a conversation with Dada......

Dada: Baba what do you want to do to day?

Baba: Target would be nice.

Dada: Really? What do you want to do there?

Baba: A ride or two would be good.
