Happy Thanksgiving and Welcome Tulasi!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We are celebrating Thanksgiving with Tavo's abuelita Christina, who is visiting from Brownsville. Grandma is elated to hold and play with Ninito.

We also had a trip to the hospital to meet Holly & Ravi's second child, Tulasi Vivianne, who was born last night at 11:58 pm. (Tavo's fiancee)

I Discovered My Tongue!

Last week, i playingly stuck my tongue out at Tavo. He stuck his tongue out at me right back! Ever since, he has been randomly sticking out his tongue. It was a great new trick to show his Papi once he returned from California. We are so happy to have him home!

Over the last few days, Tavo has gotten more and more mobile. He has been scooting around for weeks now, but has now begun to actually crawl. He also pulls himself up by using furniture, our legs or anything else around. A few times, he has pulled himself up to a standing position (still holding on, of course). It's cute, but kind of alarming! We will have to make some changes, particularly where he sleeps.

Fun in the Tub

Tavo wasn't enjoying baths in his bathtub anymore, so we tried out another option tonight...the tub used for bobbing for apples at my Halloween parties at the FEMA parks. Tavo loved it! Much more room to play with his rubber ducky and fish.

We are super excited to welcome Papi back home tomorrow. It's been a long two weeks, and the past few days were really rough. Tavo was sick for the first time. He had fever on and off for about 36 hours, but seems to be recovering now.

Happy Halloween!

Tavo and I spent Halloween at Davant, one of the FEMA parks that I work in. Tavo watched the kids search for candy in a haystack, bob for apples and parade in their costumes. He was a turtle as you can see in the pictures. With him in the picture are our friends Oscar, the scare crow, and Tremica, the French maid. Two of the kids were so scared of Oscar and crying so much that they had to leave the trailer! Even Tavo seemed a bit unsure about those fingers (usually he doesn't hesitate to put everything in his mouth).
