Inaki is sooo handsome! I adore him!!! Thanks so much for the pictures. :)

Anyway, so I think it's fun that Infanta Cristina and Princess Alexia are pregnant at the same time- again! I hope we'll see some pictures of the very close cousins together sometime soon.

Princess Cristina of Spain with her husband, Inaki Urdangarin, and their three children Juan, Pablo and Miguel enjoyed the Barcelona-Valladolid handball game in Barcelona. The Duke of Palma used to play for Barcelona before he became engaged to the Princess and he still loves to watch his old team. He even cried out of emotion when Spain became worldchampion last week.

Thanks for the pictures! The last one from Miguel and the little girl next to him is so cute
It seems that he says "No, go away" or anything like that

Who is the little girl anyway? Is it one of Inaki's nieces? A neighbour child?

Inaki and Cristina take their boys and a friend to a costume party on 2-13-05. Nice costumes. IBL

[agisele]

the boys look absolutely adorable in their spiderman costumes. i hope that cristina will be able to dress up a little girl in a princess costumes sometime down the road. ;-)

i also find it lovely to how inaki is so involved in his children's lives, not many fathers are like that, and i think that it's especially wonderful that he is.

Please read this post:

As you can see in the official announcement, the baby is expected to born in the begining of the Summer (so, June) (although I really think her belly is too big for a 7 month pregnant woman...). We don't know if it's a girl or a boy (but my thoughts are that it should be a boy - here we say when the belly is too big it's a baby boy to born. Iñaki also said, the day Miguel was born, that his home was only to receive balls and never dolls :p )

[nina86lila]

I hope it's will be a little girl I think Cristina will want to have a girl this time !:p
THANKS for the Infos Elsa M:)
