9 and 3

The other day I was leaving the house for work and said to Angel, "I love you" to which he replied, "I love you too" to which Ignacio said "I love you three." I laughed my whole way to work.

Today at the doctor it was decided Emilio would have to get a shot. Ignacio looked at the doctor as said "That's my brother. You don't give him boo boos." Emilio started crying and Ignacio told the nurse, "He's saying no!" It was so adorable...his little valient effort to protect his bro. Unfortunately it didn't work.

Emilio had his 9 month check-up today and turns out he is turning out just great. I told the doctor it was a good thing because the return policy has expired on him. He is a slinkly little one coming in much longer than most babies his age. His head and weight are pretty par for the course. The doctor says that, although his belly button looks like it is getting worse, with time, it will heal and be okay. Emilio showed the doctor how he waves, pulled the stethoscope right out of the doctor's ears and drooled all over the place.

Ignacio finger painted Dr. Williams a picture and gave it to him proudly. The next check-up is at 1 year for Emilio and Ignacio will be 4 for his next check-up. I can hardly believe it. Everyone says that the time goes fast and I am feeling that now. My first baby will be a boy and my baby will be a toddler. For now, they are 9 and 3 and I will just soak that all in!
