[P] Bollo moves »

Joaquin has started crawling, but you’ll be able to see here all of his other current tricks. Watch him grab that glass maraca and shake it proudly to the camera. Then, see him fully engaged on a project of his own. Baby takes after mommy on that: He’d rather work on a project than take […]

Trompita tastes bananas »

Don Joaquin has officially started eating solids and I thought his fan club would enjoy seeing him take his first meal of cereal, milk, and bananas. Please notice the face he makes, and how he throws himself and holds on to the chair on the last bite (towards the end of the video)… What a […]

[P] Fragrant 4-month potpourri »

For those who may be itching to see the latest and greatest about Joaquin, this one shows a little bit of everything: talk, smiles, frustration, laughs, worm walk, tears, play, and even a storm at sea.

Born Free »

Right between getting a breast ultrasound (no worries, it was just a cyst) and falling prey to a terrible cold with a fever of 102°F, I went to the baby store to shop for some toys for little Joaco. Wasn’t planning on buying anything big, when suddenly this awesome product crossed my path… The Bumbo […]

[P] Caminante, no hay camino… »

This week, Bolliti has started to signal that he’s very ready to walk. Every time I hold him up straight, he smiles and makes joyful noises, and as soon as he feels the floor under his patitas, his walking reflex kicks in, and he lifts his head up… high… very proud of his clumsy steps.

Of course, at the moment that we decided to shoot this he was already tired, so here you’ll see his performance quickly deteriorating.

[P] Pedaling a story »

Have I mentioned how excited Joaquin gets when you read to him?… It could be a children’s story, an adult book, or the instructions manual for his bouncy seat… He loves them all!

[P] Jump, pajarito! Jump! »

Joaquin loves to jump. As Joey wisely put it: If it was up to him, his whole life would consist of nothing but jumping and teta. Here you can see him in action. Notice the disappointment when I try to seat him to wash his hands.
Joaquin’s age: Almost 2 months

[P] It’s Play Time! »

At some point we caught Joaquin trying to imitate my arm moves and kiss gestures when I played with him. We tried to capture the scene, but this bollo, at his very tender age, can sniff the camera and refuses to perform when the thing is rolling. So on this video you’ll see us playing […]

[P] Despertar »

This used to be Joaquin’s stretching routine every time he woke up. On this particular day he was a little sleepy and took a long time to go from sound sleep to “I want that boob now!”.

[P] Petit, petit »

Ok, ok, 8 minutes is a little long, but I swear: They’re worth it. Joaquin’s facial expressions while he sleeps are hilarious. He goes from drama, to smile, to DEEP drama, to anger. Notice also how the gestures match the mood of the background music.

The Dramatic Extraction of Joey’s Pins »

The horror. The gore. The drama…
See Joey’s trembling colita as Doc removes the pins from his hand after the surgery he got thanks to a mountain biking accident.

Some times words can’t describe it well enough; you must watch it and hear it to fully get it. Entries marked with [P] are private, and you must have the secret password to access them… Sorry about that :(
