I realized that don’t have many pictures with me and Camila. They are all of her alone or with the boys. So while Hector was out playing golf we had a mini photo session with Marco as the photographer. He got a few good ones, but then got bored with it and went on to do something else.

Bumbo seat- take II
Contemplating her next move… oh wait, she is stuck in the bumbo
We went to see a good friend today and she mentioned that Camila looked a lot like Joaquin from a side view. What do you think??? All I see are cheeks!! (Not so sure about your observation, but love ya anyway Kellie)

Sister Sandwich
Some days when Hector gets home from work the boys like to jump on top of him and make a “Papi sandwich”. So today we made our version of a “sister sandwich”. I had to explain that there will be no sitting/jumping/lying on their sister for quite some time, if ever.
Marco is always asking to hold Camila so I try to give him every opportunity to do so. It must be the way they are sitting in this pic, but Camila looks so much bigger than 3 months.
Love both of their expressions in this one. I think soon after this was taken, Camila was done sitting with Marco.

Easter 2011
Camila was not really feeling the whole picture taking thing at the beginning. Marco had to hold on tight as she tried to wiggle free.
Take two was much better. Even though she didn’t smile, we got a few shots of all the kids. Unfortunately not a one of them had them all looking at the camera at the same time. Good thing we are not professionals.
I think this one is funny because Marco was starting to loose his grip on Camila and Joaquin looks so sneaky peeking out behind Marco’s shoulder.
Her first Easter outfit. Thank you Priscilla!
And of course we can’t forget the egg hunt.

Escuela activities
II love Marco’s preschool because they do so many fun activities and they have lots of programs for the parents to attend. Recently they had a Wheels Day fundraiser and every kid brought a bike to ride laps around the school. Marco was a little disappointed that he had to bring Joaquin’s bike but they did not allow 2-wheel bikes. Because Marco’s bike doesn’t have training wheels (and I wasn’t about to try to find them in the garage somewhere and put them on!) he had to bring what we call the green monster.
Every Easter they have a small parade where the kids show off the hats they made. Each class makes a different hat and it is fun to see all the designs and hear them sing a few songs.

Boys and Bugs!
For the past two weeks we wake up every morning to a plethora of june bugs on our front porch. These little creatures have become the boys’ new playmates. They like to have them crawl on their arms and they even made a little home for them one day from a shoebox. Joaquin is not as gentle with them as Marco is, and he likes to stomp on them or even squash them between his fingers. GROSS!! I wonder how long they will hang around and how much longer I will have to sweep them off my door step.
We do not encourage the squeezing of june bugs.
** Disclaimer**No june bugs were hurt in this photo shoot
Here is a little roly poly that J thought would like to live in the june bug house.
We also planted some watermelons from seeds. Here are the beginning sprouts. It will soon be time to transplant them to the ground and see what happens. I LOVE a cool, crisp slice of watermelon any day of the week!

Another cute outfit!
I love this little outfit a friend of mine gave Camila. She went to her first Easter egg hunt/party Monday and everyone commented how cute it was. I love the fact that it is 1. adorable 2. Fancier than a onesie, yet snaps like one 3. does not require any extra shorts, bloomers, etc 4. Last but not least, she doesn’t need a hair bow (aka brain squeezer) for people to not ask if she is a boy or a girl. :)
