Here is a funny video of myself. Even though I’ve been in the US for about 5 years, there’s some words or combination of words that are still hard to pronounce. Here I am having a good time playing the guitar and Owen is just pushing my buttons wanting me to say it all right… I’ll make him say “setze jutges d’un jutjat mengen fetge d’un penjat”… wait for this video.
Teo and Fin are starting to “say” more words. They don’t completely say the word, but they try to say it. Here is a list of the ones we can identify:
Bye-bye, Dog, Bird (ba), Ball, Aigua (wawa), Milk (mo), No and Nose or Nas, au (when it’s hot), thank you (tatoo)
El Teo i el Fin estan comencant a “dir” mes paraules. No diuen la paraula sencera, pero intenten dir-la. Aqui hi ha una llista de les que nosaltres podem entendre:
Bye-bye, Dog, Bird (bo), Ball, Aigua (uaua), Milk (mo), No and Nose or Nas, au (quan es calent), thank you (tatu)
These past few days we have been in Wipigaki, Winsconsin, where the boys have enjoyed being all day outside, splashing in the water at the lake, playing with other babies and kids, playing around the fire… It’s been great. The best thing it’s been that the boys have been able to be around their grandparents (Owen’s side) for a bunch of days. Noni and Bubbles have been great taking them around, which really gives us a break from time to time. We’ve been able to have a meal until the desert, visca! Julia and Chloe (2 girls from the camp) have been playing also with them a lot, they were so happy every time they saw them 
Fin and Teo have a tan for the first time, and a few mosquito bites on their bodies, nothing bad. Next year we go to Wipi they will be talking, wow…
Aquests ultims dies hem estat a Wipigaki, Winsconsin, on els nens han disfrutat estant tot el dia a l’aire lliure, jugant amb l’aigua del llac, amb altres nens i nenes, al voltant del foc… Ha estat molt be. El millor es que els nens han pogut estar amb els avis (la banda de l’Owen) durant varis dies seguits. La Noni i el Bubbles han estat genials, fent-se’n carrec perque aixi poguessim tenir un descans de tant en tant. Hem pogut acabar un dinar fins a les postres, visca! La Julia i la Chloe(dues nenes del camp) han jugat molt amb ells, cada que vegada que les veien es posaven super contents. El Fin i el Teo estan morenos per primera vegada, i tenen algunes picades que mosquit al cos, pero res serios. L’any que ve quan hi tornem ja parlaran, uau…

Aquests dies hem estat fent una mena de “sleep training”, ahir va ser la quarta nit, i el Teo va dormir 10 hores seguides!!!! L’Owen i jo estem cansadissims, pero molt contents que com a minim una nit ha dormit be. A veure com continua…
These past days we have been doing some sort of “sleep training”. Yesterday it was the 4th night, and Teo slept 10 hours straight! Owen and I are exhausted and sleep deprived, but very happy that at least last night Teo slept so well. Let’s see how it is the next nights… Here is a good article, which we haven’t really followed completely. http://www.drjaygordon.com/development/ap/sleep.asp
Aquest es un video de ja fa temps, quan el pare i la mare van venir aqui. A veure si quan ens veiem el Setembre ja diuem mes coses que “dagull, dagull, dagulll!!!”
Ara que ja son “nens grans”, ja tenen una taula i cadires com els grans. Ahir vam estar dibuixant amb plastidecors, tots uns artistes!
Now that they are “big boys” they have a “big boy” table and chairs. Yesterday we were drawing with crayons, we have two little artists!
Every time we clean at home (which feels like it’s constantly), the boys want to take the broom from us and play, so I bought a set of cleaning tools child size and it was a success!
Cada vegada que netegem a casa (cosa que sembla que fem constantment), els nens ens agafen l’escombra per jugar-hi. L’altre dia vaig comprar-los un “set” d’eines de neteja a escala reduida i va ser tot un exit!
They LOVE books. They are asking us to read them all the time. They don’t last very long listening to it, but that’s fine…;-)
Fa dues setmanes vam anar a Nova York al Festival per al Frankie Manning. La Marta tambe hi va venir des de Barcelona i ens va ajudar amb els nens portant-los a tot arreu. Ens ho vam passar molt be, he penjat un video petit de la Marta i els nens, quan tingui mes fotos ja les penjare.
The boys are learning how to go down the stairs. Here you can see the progress.
Ahir vam anar al Zoo. Va ser la primera vegada que els nens van veure ovelles i cabres… estaven una mica cansats perque no havien fet migdiada i estan encostipats, pero a part d’aixo ens ho vam passar molt be.
Yesterday we went to the Zoo. It was the first time that the boys saw goats and sheeps… they were a little tired because they hadn’t had a nap and they had a cold, but a side from that we had a great time.
Teo has been saying Quack quack for a while now, but until now I haven’t been able to get in on the camera. Super cute!
