Luca is almost 6 months -- End of July, 2008...

Everyone talks about my long eye lashes...they are indeed the dream of every girl: long and curled up...heehhe...
Me playing around with some toys...





Me and my "flying saucer" full of gadgets...ehehhe...at least it looks like one...

Here I am hanging out on my "electronic hammock" as my Nana calls it... it goes back and forth and it makes me really sleeeeeeeepy.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

My first prunes... hmmmmmmm... delicious... quite messy though...

Daddy and I love to play... I look so much like him it's amazing... His new name for me is "Mini-Me"...ehhehe...

Here I am taking a bath on my Brazilian bath tub... my Grandpa Celso brought it for me on his luggage all the way from Brazil, can you believe? It's because this type of bath tub does not exist here and my Mommy can wash me while she stands up so it's MUCH easier on her back... Great invention... THANK YOU Vovo Celso... it was worth bringing it!! ;o)

The D'Angelos are Here!!! From South Bend, IN...

WELCOME Zio Dany & Zia Mari... I was soooo happy you guys came over to meet me... WE LOVE YOU!!! ;o)Zio Dany was playing with me... he even gave me the bottle too... che bravo Zio Danone!!! :o)

Zia Mari and I at our back yard... what a beautiful afternoon that was...


Zia Mari and Mommy in Newport Beach...

Here we look like "i tre Italiani mafiosi" (the 3 mafia Italian guys)....heheh... Daddy, where are your sunglasses?

I love to lounge around on my Daddy's arms... ;o) Where are the 'California Girls', by the way??

If I had an 11th finger I think I could also fit it in my mouth all at once...eehheeh

Mommy and Daddy still at Newport Beach...

It looks like I was waving bye-bye here.... but I wasn't, I was just raising my hand and enjoying the view...

All these pictures here were taken on the last day that Zio Dany and Zia Mari were here.... even though we were smiling, we were sad that they were leaving... we had a great time with them here!! ;o)

Some good moments in July --- Luca is 5 months old!

Mommy & Daddy's bed is soooo comfortable....

On the 3 pictures above we were getting ready to visit The Pestarino's on their new home in Newport Beach...
Here I am with Daddy and Zia Den at their new home.... Congratulations....it's a beauuuuutiful home.... and look at those HUGE lemons they have on their back yard....they are the same size as my head!! ;o) Here Zia Den is already pregnant with baby Isabella...

My first trip to the beach.... Laguna Beach, CA... we did not go in the sand or in the water just yet...
Here I am with Gringo preparing for the 4th of July celebration... even Gringo had a patriotic scarf... What a pair we are... we love each other... ;o)

Yes... Born in the USA and Born in 2008.... what a beautiful year!!! ;o) After this photo we went to celebrate the 4th of July Holiday with the Katouli Family.... I was having a great time until those darn fireworks....boy I did not like all that noise.... my parents had to scape the party as fast as they could while I was crying like a crazy baby...ehehhe... no more fireworks for me for a while ;o)

Another day at the beach...this time we went for a walk at San Juan Capristrano Beach... nice day too...
Playing around in diapers on the top of the blanket that my mom cross-stitched while she was pregnant with me... she is so proud of that blanket... ;o) Thanks Zia Lydia for teaching my mom how to do it and for finishing up the borders for her...
