I feel it's been a while since I last wrote a decent update on what the boys are up to. Since today is Santi's monthary, I'll concentrate on him.
For statistic purposes, he's 10kg and measures 82cm - approximately 5 more than his brother at this age.
As time goes by, we get to see more and more of his emerging personality. He's fearless, though cautious, loves to dance and smile and he still ADORES his brother, despite all the mean things Mati does to him (pull his legs, push his back down while Santi is crawling, take his toys away, and the list goes on ...). He is VERY assertive, he screams, shouts and fake-cries, when he wants (or doesn't) something ... hmmm, maybe that's not being assertive, but just a spoiled drama queen!
On the motor skills side, he's doing great progress with walking. He does a fair bit of it while pushing either the walker or the space shuttle and has actually ventured on a couple of occasions to take two steps on his own. I say that by the end of October, Cheeky will be walking.
We started swim classes since he enjoys the water so much. The other Sunday we went down as a family. Mati is a little fish in water (hopefully Nico will please all of you and post the videos sometime before the boys turn 18!!) but Santi is too, not afraid to jump in and just be submerged under water! He wouldn't stay still and Nico suggested letting him "fall" so he could experience being under water, convinced that would freak him out ... ahhhhh, nope, it had just the opposite effect: HE LOVED IT!!!
He's also very mischievous. He knows where he's NOT supposed to go or what he's not supposed to touch, but really .... did I think that was going to stop him? He looks back, smiles, shakes his head "no", but then continues to do the forbidden. Ahhhhh, I can tell we are going to have some major headaches with this young man!!! :)
Mati loves to crash into Santi
