Checking in with adorable twin toddlers named after Astros' Altuve & Correa

The brothers were born in the immediate days after the Astros became World Series champs in 2017.

KATY, Texas — The motto for the Houston Astros 2019 season is: Take It Back.

Reid Ryan, the President of the Astros, said the idea for the phrase came from third baseman Alex Bregman. 

The story goes that Ryan was sitting around thinking about a motto that would speak to the hearts of fans. 

So they called up #2 who apparently hyped up the bosses so much, they walked out of a meeting with the phrase: TAKE IT BACK. 

And it all stems back to that 2017 World Series win. It was a special moment for Houston. 

So many of us have our own memories, but twin brothers will carry that win for the rest of their lives.

We first told you about the boys named Altuve and Correa last year.

KATY, Texas- The dynamic duo, Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve are friends on and off the baseball field. And now, the Houston Astros players are brothers, at least in the Uriostegui home. Ethan Altuve Uriostegui and Nathan Correa Uriostegui were born November 10, 2017.

But nearly two years later, we wanted to know how the boys and their family are doing?

"They’re doing great," said mother Nelly Uriostegui. "Yeah. They’re good," said father Cesar Uriostegui. "They’re healthy."

The parents say their biggest challenge is not having enough hands to wrangle in the brothers who are 16 months old. 

The brothers seem to be taking after the MLB stars they're named after. 

For instance, Ethan Altuve is, "very dependent. He likes hugs. He likes kisses. He likes to dance."

And Nathan Correa, "is more of an individual. He likes to throw things. He likes to push."

So what's this family's advice for Correa and Altuve? 

"Have fun with it, really. You know? That’s what these kids do." said their dad.

The Uriostegui family welcomed a third son to the family this year. 

Christian Alexander was born about four weeks ago. Mom says she kindly turned down the option of adding a Springer or Bregman to the family's roster.
