HUGE update!!!

So much has happened since the last update. We're 4 months! Lucas likes to stand and all he needs is something for balance. Lucas also likes to sleep on his side. Parents lie him down on his back but he always rolls onto his side. Loves to chew/suck on his sister. Monkey sounds are hysterical.
Sofia prefers to sit up. This picture was taken by her friend Augi. Thanks! She loves to stare at her brother and laughs all day long. Loves it when her papi makes funny noises with his mouth. Sofia studies everything and loves to have a conversation. She is extremely verbal. Undressing her is absolutetly hysterical. Papi, does not find this funny.
Please don't be fooled by the sleeping pictures. In actuality, we don't really nap.
Here Lucas discovers touching his sister in other ways aside from sucking. He's a little rough and Sofia is unsure how she likes this new interaction.
and we're back to eating the sister...



Davey and Lauren came to hang out with us. The were visiting from NY and got married here in Miami. They managed to find time to come visit us. Twice! Yes, we're that cute. Davey was a little unsure on holding Sofia, but he was a natural and the babies loved him!


Oh look, a picture of our Mami. Cuddling with Abuela on Easter.
I'm a pro at tummy time now!
Look at the baby budda!
Lucas loves his Tia Macusa who helps take care of him a few days a week. I discovered how comfortable arm rests can be.
Sofia loves to listen to Papi play the guitar for her. Both babies really love music and being sung to.
Getting a little sucking revenge.


If my brother is going to chew on my knee, I might as well keep myself entertained.
Look, I'm holding a bottle and I'm not screaming. :-)
Laughing with Tia Macusa
Always holding hands.
