This was the first time we tried Camila in her bath seat. Joaquin loved this thing at her age and now that she is starting to sit up better we though we would give it a try. She liked it for all of 5 min. but I think she will get use to it. The boys sure enjoyed her being in the tub with them.

C and J
Camila is almost 5 months old and is starting to do some new things. She is trying to sit up with minimal support and if I prop her up just right she can sit up on the couch. She also enjoys when her brothers talk to her and Marco has even been able to make her laugh a few times. Joaquin just mostly gets in her face (usually a little too close) and she doesn’t enjoy that too much. But this afternoon Quin was being really good with her, giving kisses and the like. I also love this quilt/blanket my neighbor made for Camila.

Summer Wedding #2
This weekend we travelled to Waco to attend Collin and Pablo’s wedding. The boys had so much fun, and Camila is getting better at road trips. This time we decided to take the pack n play instead of relying on the hotel’s crib “of uncertainty”. This hotel was nicer than the one in Abilene so I’m sure their crib would have been just fine.

Lego Creations and Missing Teeth
\
Yesterday we went to the dentist and both boys did so well. They both got xrays and their teeth cleaned. I am happy to report NO cavities!! The dentist did offer to take Marco’s super wiggly front tooth out on the spot, but I had already told Marco that he would not have to worry about the dentist pulling that tooth. Whoops, strike one for Mommy. I gave Marco his options and he choose to have me pull it at home. So later that day I got a washcloth and pulled that tooth out of his little head. :) Even as wiggly as it was, it took two good yanks to get it out. But he is now so proud of the giant hole it created. Now he sticks his straws through it to drink.

Abilene Zoo
Since we stayed the night in a hotel after the wedding we decided to find something fun to do Sunday morning. Abilene has a nice, small scale zoo and since it was only $10 for all of us to get in why not just go check it out. The highlight of the trip was feeding the giraffes. For $1 you got 4 large crackers to feed them. I think all these giraffes at were crackers because the people just kept coming with the crackers. Their tongues are so long and seem to just “sniff” those crackers out!
This pic was my favorite. Just look at that tongue!
Marco the cowboy and his sidekick Joaquin on the speedy snail.
Another crazy experience was feeding the fish. There were so many of them, and they just flopped on top of each other to get the food.
It was pretty hot that day, and I think by this point Camila had had enough of the zoo.
I usually don’t take pictures of animals just standing there, but these two birds were some of the strangest looking birds I have ever seen! And I don’t even know their names.
Camila is happy girl once again. And always with her fingers in her mouth

Road Trip!!!
The boys have been looking forward to going to Abilene for our first wedding (out of 4) this summer. I think they were also excited to use the in car DVD system, as it is only used on long trips.
Looks like the have all the essentials…. cowboy hat and roll of toilet paper!
They both looked so nice in their new suits. I plan to get my money’s worth out of these. I hope they make it to wedding # 4 at the end of the summer!
We decided it would be best if they changed their clothing for the reception. This was a good idea as they decided to break dance on the floor!
The music was a bit too loud for Camila, but she had her friend the frog to keep her company.
