Hey Tommy Sly.... do you remember this green outfit? ;o) Thank you for giving it to me...

My hands are always up in the air...

My first tennis shoes... I always look so alert to everything going on around me...

Nana Silvia and I... She was about to leave to go back to Brazil in a few days here.... how sad!

Here we are with Cheryl Baumeister, her mom and my twin friends Cooper and Abigail.... my mom was in the same child-birth class and breastfeeding class as Cheryl... The twins are a week younger than me and my first baby friends ever! Thank you Baumeister Family for coming to visit us... it was so great to have you around...

Here I am again with my twin friends baby Cooper and baby Abigail Baumeister... They are soooooooooo cute and lots of fun to be around....

Some Miscellaneous Pictures -- April 2008

I was about to cry here...

Yeah.... I am such a happy baby...

I love my mobile.... I can look at it for a lonnnnng time....

This outfit says (in Portuguese): "I've had enough, I am going to my grandma's house..." and by his facial expression it seems like he really means that... ;o)

My mom loves my feet, she thinks they are sooooo cute....

Zia Den Pestarino, Tia Ligia Apparicio (Mommy's cousin, she is here holding me) and Mommy.... Thank you Zio Graziano, Zia Den, Tio Ricardo and Tia Ligia for coming to visit me...

My Nana Silvia took this picture.... her and my mom love it... I look like a big boy, so serious and thoughtful...

We went for a walk in the park this day... it was still a bit cold.... 1/2 way thru it I started crying like crazy so we had to rush back home... I would not stop crying... my parents could not figure out what I wanted...

The Maglio Family is Visiting From Chicago, IL !!

Thank you sooooooo much to Zia Mimma, Zio Nino, Grace, Pete, Anna and John for coming to see us and especially to meet baby Luca! We were incredibly happy you guys could come to visit us... We love you guys...tanti baci a tutti voi...

Zia Mimma is Nonna Pina's sister.... Gaetano's aunt who lives in Chicago and Arizona...

Nonna Pina Has Arrived From Torino, Italy!!

For Nonna Pina (Gaetano's Mom) it was also a lonnnnng trip to arrive here....almost 24 hrs later she made it safe and sound, just a "bit" tired... Gaetano was so happy to see his Mom and to have her hold Luca.... Very emotional and difficult not to have Nonno Nino also here with us during such a special moment.... But we are sure he is here with us anyways.... Benvenuta Nonna Pina, noi ti vogliamo bene!!! UN BACIO GROSSO GROSSO!!!
