Julia came to play! Julia is the daughter of Fernando and Brisa, and Fernando is one of Ricardo's dearest friends (from high school days). They live in Michigan, so visits are rare. Xaris and Julia have met once before, but they were both under 1 year old, so I doubt it left a lasting impression on either.
Julia is 5 days older than Xaris (but about double her size), and Fernando is 5 days older than Ricardo (and about double his size...just kidding. Almost, but not quite).
After an evening of some shyness and warming to each other, they were fast friends the next day!
Running through the Arboretum with Fernando
Koi ponds
Making Fernando work harder--they got tired of taking turns being swung--they wanted to swing at the same time!
Tickles from Brisa
iXy was eating mama, so mama decided to eat the sweet baby
Xaris and papa
Still no teeth. So surprising, since she's been super chompy/drooly for weeks now!
Girls entertained while parents enjoyed coffee and conversation after lunch.
Julia loved holding the baby sister. She wants one now :)
