New Tricks

Last week was memorable as Carlito decided that he would start walking, crawling, giving kisses and, proud of his accomplishments, clap for himself. He crawls pretty slowly and his walking is funny because he won't bend and fall down on his butt - He only does the trust fall! Timber - he just falls back straight as a board assuming that we'll catch him before he hits the ground (which is not always the case unfortunately...). Clearly that pre-natal yoga didn't make him very limber. I'm not sure why, but he gets the word "clap" - and he'll clap on demand or when he is impressed with himself. Unfortunately, with all this learning he decided to un-learn how to sleep. He fights his afternoon nap and I'm worried that he is moving to one nap a day. oh no!

He took the LONG trip up to New York like a champ and enjoyed meeting his new cousin, Eli. He pointed at him and made the same "ca" sound he makes when he sees a dog, bird or cat. At 7lbs 2 oz Eli is about the same size as a cat, but much cuter.

Here are some videos of the baby - I am just figuring out the video camera and am thinking I should stick to the digital camera as this was a pain to download.
