Miguel

Miguel is a happy little tyke, who loves wrestling with Gabriel, jumping on the rebounder, sticking things in his mouth, biting people and generally causing havok.

He turned one on August 2nd and seems to be progressing physically faster than Gabriel (walking, running, earlier, etc.) He seems a lot more relaxed and laid back as well as more trusting and social. he's a handful, but he is easier to take care of in just about every way. (Less crying, less pooping, less general fussiness)

Maybe he's more laid back because we're more relaxed or something.

The joke about the second kid is true. The first kid drops the pacifier and you sterilize it before giving it back to him. The second drops it and you wash it off and pop it in his mouth, the third you just blow on it and pop it right back in. The fourth you glance at disapprovingly and tell him to pick up the pacifier. The fifth one you just whack on the back of the head and say "Pick that up! Don't drop your pacifier in that dog poop "Sonso," I paid good money for it at the Salvation Army!"

Miguel is also tougher because he has to put up with Gabriel torturing him all the time. Gabriel bumps and pushes him all the time and he likes grabbing things out of Miguel's hands and leaving Miguel in a dark room and slamming the door shut on him. All sorts of mean things.

Miguel fights back, pulls hair, bites and punches back but most of the time he does it with a big smile on his face.
