Standing

Oliver loves standing now. He figured out how to stand up on his own in his crib and now is doing it with his play table and almost with the couch. The video was taken on Saturday, May 1st. We are now keeping everything up high or at least trying, with a 3 year old this is a challenge.

BBQ with friends.

Putting on our uniform

So we try to get up early enough so Nico can put on his uniform by himself.  The other morning this is how it turned out. (Pants-backwards, shirt-backwards, sweater-perfect, socks-perfect, I believe he put his shoes on the opposite feet also but by then the other things were put on right)

Oliver loving a box just his size.

Good Grades

As you can see from the IV in my arm I´m a little slow in posting these pics. Before Easter Nico got his grades from school and did well so he got a small pack of Toy Story figures. Oliver started sitting without help.

Easter

Easter baskets.

Nico was very excited to have Woody and a black spiderman.

Easter lunch and me with torrijas...a typical spanish dessert for Easter.

Abuela Paloma with the boys.

To the Pirate Ship

We decided that on Saturday we were going to go to the zoo...when we got there it was such a "zoo" for parking they had called in the local police that we turned around and decided to go and play on the pirate ship playground we saw on the way and go to the zoo a different day.

As you can see Oliver enjoyed the playground a lot.

The playground (like the zoo) is inside a gaint park so we went for a walk in the park and had a picnic too.

Open wide.

After our picnic Nico wanted to go back and play some more so Oliver tried out his new sitting skills on the slide. Watch out here comes Nico!
