So much to write about, folks!
Tiago is doing great. He is such a different baby from Magglio – he sleeps more and cries less. Magglio was a very vocal and demanding baby, and Tiago is so laid back and chill. I have no idea if Tiago will grow out of that, but I certainly hope not!
My post birth recovery has been fantastic. The first five days I felt like I had been hit by a truck. My arms, legs, back, butt and boobs were all sore. But on day 6 I woke up, showered, put on regular clothes, and I’ve been outdoors and hauling around the two kiddos ever since. It really helps that the sun is out and the weather is warm and beautiful. That can really motivate you to go outside and play.
Usually I wear Tiago in my Sleepywrap sling and Magglio just trots beside me. People in Miami are NOT into babywearing (not yet, anyway). Miami is a city that is very competitive, not crunchy. The most expensive stroller is what people want to show off here in Miami, not the fact that you can carry your baby. I’ve had people POINT AT ME while talking to their friends. People are FLABBERGASTED that I have a baby wrapped on my chest. Twice within a span of 30 minutes at two differnet locations I’ve had someone exclaim, “Is there a baby in there?!”
When people ask me stuff like this, usually I snicker or smirk. I can’t help it! I just find it so humorus that people are shocked by babywearing. Geez, Miami, welcome to the year 2011.
I know you want pictures…..enjoy!

Monica, He is sooo sweet! I love the outstretched arms….is that contentment or what?? What’s with the non baby-wearing, as you call it? Probably it has to do with the climate, people think it’s too hot there to put a baby on your body…..In Michigan you see it a lot, and even here in Vegas I’ve seen lots of moms (and dads) with babyslings. But it’s only in the 60s and 70s here right now. You’re right about the stroller frenzy, we see that everywhere…makes us laugh cause all we had were umbrella strollers! (and our kids actually made it through childhood!) Anyway, GOOD JOB! with the bouncing back, non-whining, etc etc…..we’re so PROUD of you!
Xs and Os to all!

Hey Mon! Funny about carrying your baby – - Miami is just stuck up so you just keep giving them your NY attitude which I grew to love! You guys make some great babies – - Tiago is absolutely adorable. Happy to see that you healed well and out and about with the boys.
Enjoy the sun – - it’s ugly here in NY! ;o)
