Back to County Antrim - Day 1

Day 1 of our 4-day weekend, we decided to go back to Giant's Causeway because the forecast was showing mostly clear skies, and last time we went, the weather was terrible, all three kids asleep in the car, and Manuel and I had to take turns seeing it in the slanted pouring rain and wind.  Glad we went back, Lina is a climber, so she had a lot of fun hopping all over the hexagonal rocks at the causeway.  After Giant's Causeway, we went to Downhill Demesne and Mussenden Temple and headed west to stay in county Donegal.

Walking to the Causeway

Yay for sunshine!!

That's Lina and Manuel up there!

These rock formations are just incredible!

She wasn't able to climb too high on this one, but you gotta' give her props for trying!

King of the Causeway!

Doin' a jig!

Benicio is 8 months!

Jan. 22, 2014... Can you believe it, guys?  I'm eight months old!  What's new with me is that I now have two front teeth, and they are very sharp!  I have been having fun eating lots of foods like the rest of the family, and I'm really starting to get the hang of it.  I am SO close to crawling, but I'm not quite there yet... I am really good at pulling myself forward with my arms, kind of an army crawl.  I can almost sit up by myself, but I still topple over after a few seconds.  You'd think I've been hitting the gym lately as I am really good at planking!  I love having secret conversations with people, just babbling away and blowing bubbles.  I think that's about it, until next month!  Love, Benicio

My Little Valentines

So funny seeing the difference in how Lina and Isandro decorated their cookies lol!

Benicio Showing Off

At about 8 1/2 months, he's starting to sit up on his own!

He's very proud!

He loves food!

I can't get enough of his smile!

Sticks, mud, and rocks are the best things ever.

It was fun watching these two throw rocks in the river.

Completely vertical and slippery climb, but there's no stopping this girl.  Poor Isandro couldn't quite do it, but he tried.

Isandro got excited every time he saw one of these number posts.

Lina knows how to make Benicio laugh!
