This week we experimented with some of Ryan's hair styling product and came up with a new look for Joaqo. This comes just in time for our upcoming trip to FL and the arrival of his new teeth!!! Strangely though, his new teeth are not the 2 upper middle ones (incisors) that I was expecting... They are the 2 upper teeth on the sides of the incisors - his canines. So I can't help thinking of him as Fangz Hintz :-) We may have a little vampire for Halloween.
Last week we said farewell to a member of our family - Cleocatra (making her final appearance in the video below.) She was a good kitty but wasn't very tolerant of Little Man's desires to pull fistfulls of her fur out - meow!!! She scratched his face the last time he tried it so Ryan found her a lovely new home with a very nice animal loving couple and we dropped her off last week. So now it's just Mama and her B, D and C. Thor doesn't seem to miss Cleo as he's getting a lot more attention. And his tolerance for Joaqo is still amazing.
This week we are going to FL where Little Man will get to meet his BoomPa and Uncle Albert. (Every time I say "Uncle Albert" that Beatles' song begins to play in my head.) I wonder what Joaqo will think about the beach...
As always Joaquin is amazing. He is talking up a storm enjoying the sounds of his voice. He likes climbing up the stairs - can't get down on his own, though ;-) He's figured out he can take things with him when he crawls. Yesterday he decided to climb the stairs (w my supervision of course) and bring his big, plastic maraca with him. It was so cute - he'd throw the maraca to the step above him and climb up to it, throw it up and climb up... quite a feat for a little dude with 8 steps in front of him. At the final step his maraca fell - thump, thump, thump, thump all the way back down the stairs :-( Not to worry though, it was Mommy to the rescue and all was well with the world again :-)
