My Paparazzi Mom Strikes AGAIN!!! She will not get tired...

Yes, first baby we can get CRAZY with the photos... I admit... I can't help it.... I always have my camera handy (my 2nd one because my 1st one I dropped in the swimming pool after only 1 month that I had it!!! But it was Luca's 1st time in the pool... I got too excited I suppose...eheheh). These photos were basically taken in August when Luca was 6 months old!

Here I was saying "Mmmmmmbah".... "Mmmmmmbah"....

How great it must be to have all these different chairs that I can hang out and sleep on... I am a lucky little guy...

I am kissing my bear, can you leave me alone, Mommy?? You take too many pictures of me...

I love my bear...

I love my toys...

Here I was getting ready to go visit The Saucermans in Orange County....

I am here with Keaven Saucerman (10) .... Thank you Randy, Selma, Keaven, Sonia e Sr Celio for having us at your house and for the delicious food you guys cooked for us...

Here I was on my 6th Month birthday...on 08/07/08... what a handsome little guy I am... I will probably have a few girlfriends in a few years...ehhehe

Playing around with a few toys... look how big my thighs are getting... so nice and chubby...

My Mom was trying to feed me some fruit here... I was sticking out my tongue 'cause I was having a kick out of it... I LOVE any food so far...

My jumper and I.... I can't stay there too long because I jump so much and I go so high that I almost hit the ceiling....eheheh..... and since my little heart is not repaired yet when I get excited like this, my lips and nails start to get a bit blue so no more jumping around until after the surgery... ;o(

I love Gringo... I especially love to pull his hair and tail but he's getting smart now and running away from me real quick...eheheh...but we are still best friends...

Daddy and I... I have such a cute Disney outfit on... ;o)

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...
