the walking video...

Dear Augosto.

Boy has it been a long day.

I think the major thing about this day is that you seem to be dealing with teething issues. At fourteen months, you already have 7 teeth and now you have some growing in the back.

Just so you know, new teeth = Augosto in a bad mood.

With the other teeth, it didn't seem as bad. There would be times in the past where you would laugh(you do that a lot) and one of us would notice, "Hey, NEW TEETH!" They would be there as if they had always been there.

But these new back teeth are different. Since these will be your fajita chewing teeth, it might take a bit longer for these to come out.

Luckily, someone invented Ibuprofen. :)

In other news, you are walking. A lot.

And here is my newest video of you...

Sleep well, young prince.

Love,

The Old King aka Dad.

Hey Dad, what's up with this tree in our house?

Dear Augosto.

Christmas is right around the corner.

I'm not sure if you actually understand what this whole Christmas thing is but you seem to enjoy the things that come with it such as the real tree in our house, the stockings on the fireplace(hung with care, of course), and the presents.

As for the tree, you like to shake it and pull off the ornaments. Luckily, you don't try to pull off the lights. You've broken a few ornaments though but nothing a little Krazy Glue can't fix.

Then, there's the stockings. From time to time, I catch you pulling on them. You don't do it a lot. Just when you get tired of throwing your toys around the living room. Sometimes I wonder if you are just thinking, "Whose socks with the reindeers on them are these? Are they yours, dad? Why aren't you wearing them? Here. Let me get them down for you."

When it comes to the gifts under the tree, you like to try and open them. I am assuming this is because the last time you saw wrapped up gifts was your birthday. And since we let you rip into those gifts, it only makes sense that we should let you rip into these presents too. Right?

You have already managed to rip the name tags off of a few of them, so this should add some fun to our Christmas opening extravaganza.

Well, the semester is almost over and we gotta start packing for Texas.

Sleep well.

Love,

Dad.
