Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Sending you a big early morning birthday wish...

Brennan's First Birthday...

We had a small party on Saturday with grandparents and aunts/uncles and one little friend (I'll post pics later)...

Today was the actual day, and we had a pretty normal day with an outing to the zoo... We stopped by the flamingos and DUCKS! for a little lunch and opening of Nonna's gift...




Ride on the beautifully restored carousel...


And first gelato after dinner at B's favorite neighborhood eatery, Il Pollaio...



Pretty good day. So glad our little guy is here with us, and so thrilled for his good health...

Birthday Party!

Did I hear party?? Balloon? Rice Pudding?? Yippee!


Luciano and Brennan crawling around in their monkey shirts and shoving toys to and fro...


Walk down to Washington Square Park for a little swing action...


Back for post lunch festivities, ie. CAKE and rice pudding...





Pretty good day...

Sleepy Boy...

Now that we.must.stand.all.day this is what greets me at the end of a nap...
He is so pleased with himself!


I love the look of a slept out baby...


With his FIRST birthday just a week away, I'm not sure how long I can still call him a baby!

Fun Saturday!

We spent the afternoon with Tita Teresa who is dog/house sitting...
