At the Park with My Friends Abby & Cooper...In JANUARY!!!

People can talk bad about California all they want.... we simply LOVE IT!! ;o) Not too many other places in the US one can go to a park in the middle of the winter... and in shorts!! ;o) It was a gorgeous day with temperatures in the 80's...and we had sooooo much fun together!!

Abby and Cooper are actually my cousins now....we are blood related, ya know... ;o) BOTH their parents went all the way to the L.A. hospital where I had my surgery to donate blood for my operation...what an amazing act of love... We will be thankful to them FOREVER for that! ;o) ;o)

Here I was waiting for my friends to arrive and it was the 1st time that my mom actually let me touch the grass... at first it felt a bit weird but then I liked it...

Cooper... 11 months old!
Abby... 11 months old!Auntie Cheryl brought this cool ball that I enjoyed playing with...

Abby found a dry leaf...

Cooper found a weed...

And they took off crawling as fast as the speed of light... ;o)

I tried to follow them but couldn't just yet....I kinda got stuck at the end of the blanket...ehhehe...but I am getting there! ;o)

Abby and I swinging away...

Cooper had his turn too...

Abby and Cooper in the swings...

Cooper and I in the swings...

I look like a cowboy riding a horse with this hat...ehhehe

I liked touching my friend Cooper's head... he's already standing up and holding to things by himself...actually both Abby and Cooper are already cruising everywhere...VERY soon they will be walking by themselves ;o) ;o) How cute, and how much time flies... ;o)

---THANK YOU--- Baumeister Family for inviting us to the park... we LOVED seeing you and being with you there... we can't wait to do it again & again soon!! ;o)

Video of Luca touching the grass with his feet for the 1st time... First he didn't want to put his feet down but then he did... ;o)

My First Day on a Swing! ;o)

We don't get tired of saying how lucky we are to live in California... this was on the 16th of January and we went to a park on short sleeves... amazing day, very sunny around 80-85F... beauuuuutiful!!! ;o) To be honest a bit unusual for this time of the year to be this hot here too but that's OK, we can take days like these anytime....

At home preparing to go to the park...but I am not enjoying this hat... I don't like hats at all...they normally last 2-3 seconds on my head...unless I am reaaaaaally distracted with something else!

As you can see, I had a blast swinging away... I LOVED IT!!!

This little car was kinda cool too...

Video of Luca on the swing for the 1st time!

I Am Pretty Active!

As you can see, I don't stop anymore now....I am constantly into something... and my parents haven't seen anything yet....wait until I really start crawling and/or walking...


I might be a drum player when I grow up... my poor parents will need ear plugs pretty soon...

I can stretch far and get into what I want...

Of course Gringo's toys are always so much more interesting!

My mom had to include this picture...it's actually my trademark... my piggy tail ;o)

I love my red ball... there are others with different colors but I prefer this one...maybe it's in the blood, Italians like Ferrari-red normally ;o)

I can't move as I want just yet, so I get frustrated sometimes...

Pulling myself up... but I only stay on my knees for now...

Morning After Diego's Party...

WOW, I was tired after partying so hard with my friend Dieguito last night... as you can see by these pictures all I wanted to do was lay there and watch a video the following morning... Too much (formula) drinking last night...eheheh... I need to get out more often...
