Friday! After some playing with blocks the boys are moved to the lounge where they smile, coo and babble to each other. Once Devin and Luna are ready for the day, Devin checks in.

Devin: how are we bambinos

Rilian: coo la ba

Alfred: *giggles*

Devin: Who wants to play peek-a-boo

Rilian: *sniffles*

Devin: Don't worry caro, I know you don't like it but your brother might

Alfred: *is worried*

Devin: Where is mama

Alfred: *concerned*

Devin: Here I am!

Alfred takes a few seconds to process what just happened. Upon reflection he enjoyed it, and Devin gets both a smile and a giggle.

Quick photoshoot. You can see here that the boys have their teeth coming in. It's good to take time to capture the memories while they're this tiny as they'll grow up soon enough.

Devin: Buongiorno pa

Aaron: What's this

Devin: Lu and I took some photos and thought you might like your copies in person

Aaron: You're right cara. Gosh they are getting big

Devin: Tell me about it, the downy haired days are over

Rilian: *fusses*

Devin: Hold on pa, just have to-

Aaron: Be a mama?

Luna: Thank you for coming to check on me yesterday

Calista: Not a problem

Luna: We thought you might like some photos

Calista: Of bambinos? Always

Alfred: *fusses*

Luna: Sorry about him

Calista: How are you today

Luna: Coping

Calista: One day it wont seem so hard

Luna: I hope so

Deanna: Which one is this

Devin: This piccolo is Rilian

Deanna: The cautious one, no wonder he looks freaked

Devin: Hey now caro, it's okay. This is your zia Deanna and she is very friendly

Deanna: Hey piccolo, can we be friends

Rilian: *giggles*

Devin: See, she's not scary is she? No she's not

Another reason we're in Willow Creek is that Luna needs to use an archive machine at the library for work. Devin has brought the mats for the boys and they begin playing. Suddenly Alfred feels confident and pushes himself up on all fours. He has unlocked the creep milestone!

Luna cheers Alfred on while Devin plays with Rilian before putting him on the mat. Once put down he immediately has a crisis. He loves being held and mama put him down, in a strange place to boot. It's not fair! He does manage to compose himself and have some playtime though.

Back home Joey pops around for a visit while Devin works with Rilian on tummy time.

Joey: Sup fam

Luna: Hey there

Alfred: bo la gan dua

Joey: What a wordsmith

Alfred: *smiles and stares*

Joey: Why is he looking at me like that

Luna: He does that, we have to try not take it personally

Joey: right

Devin: He's just a smiley boy, you know, when he's not bawling his eyes out

Joey: Of course sis

Devin: Oh! Rilian is doing it! Come on caro

Luna: Is that all fours

Joey: Looks like it

Devin: *proudly* Both our boys know how to creep

Luna: Should we babyproof the door yet

Devin: Maybe just the front one

Joey appreciation post! He cleaned up and brought the washing in! Brother of the year. Devin meanwhile had to nap in her room. While the lullabies station might lull infants to sleep it appears adults can't sleep with it going... Even though she likes lullaby music...

Devin: Who's ready for some more snacks

Rilian: *chuckles*

Luna: I'm in the middle of this lesson plan

Devin: Don't worry Lu, I got it

Luna: Thanks, eat up darlings

Devin: Let's try... whatever they've called these things

[All I can think is 🎶pop pop peanut butter butter pops, pop pop pop em in your mouth, POP🎶]

Alfred tucks in and smoshes his everywhere like normal. Rilian remains unsure.

Devin gets the boys to bed and Luna feels up to kissing them goodnight before heading to sleep herself. That's it for the Villareals at the moment, Devin is slowly gaining fame from her acting and Luna is working through her postpartum depression.
