Hanging with Conner

Orazio finally met his buddy Conner. Orazio and Conner are destined to become great friends. After getting over the initial shyness, Orazio and Conner had some quality time together. They shared toys, took a nap together, and had some serious conversations.

1st Christmas

Orazio had a GREAT first Christmas. After a rough plane ride, Orazio jumped right into the holiday spirit during his visit to NY. Everyone showered Orazio with love and gifts. He made out like a bandit! Orazio spent some quality time with Mom, Dad, Grandma Annie, Grandpa Ralph, Aunt Jess, Aunt Marissa, and many, many more. Here are some pictures from the first few days of his vacation.

More Pictures

So, this week was a little nuts and I didn't have a chance to update the pictures. Here are some of the favorites from the last week.

Orazio's Christmas Message

Orazio is doing great and continues to smile and sing his way through life. This video is Orazio singing his favorite Christmas carol for everyone. He can't wait to see the NY side of the family tomorrow.

Happy Kid

Dad has asked for some new pictures, and Orazio isn't exactly camera shy, so here is another entry to capture his growth. Orazio enjoys the things that someone his age should. He "talks" all the time, drools, blows bubbles with drool, puts his hands in his mouth and enjoys bright colors. He continues to be a very happy child, so I couldn't ask for anything more...ok, maybe a little extra sleep, but that is probably pushing it.

Connor's World!

Mikey P needed a fix of baby. Luckily, Mikey's Godson was on LI... Welcome to Connor's World! Thank God he has a clean bill of health now! We are meeting up for Christmas and it will be the first time Orazio and Connor will meet! We are so excited! The pictures are of Connor, aka.. Godson, Katie, ie, Connor's Mom and Mikey P, aka Dad. Hope you enjoy them. We also officially became the coolest people on the block as is evident by the arcade game on our front lawn. Orazio is going to be one cool kid! Enjoy!

Let It Snow

So, this weekend has been full of fresh powder, shoveling the driveway, naps with friends, and just hanging out. Orazio is becoming more vocal. The number of sounds he can make are always increasing. I think nap time was one of the highlights of the weekend.

Hey Dad, When is Mom and Orazio coming?

So, I had a conversation with Orazio's brothers last night. They kept hounding me to tell them what was going on with Mom and Orazio. It went something like this:





Dozer: Hey Dad, When is Mom and Orazio coming home?


Dad: Like for good or for Christmas?


Rocco: No, No, just for Christmas.


Dad: Oh, they will be coming home on the twenty third.


Rocco: REALLY! That is GREAT!


Dozer: Yeah, I cant wait to lick him silly! Have you seen my Ball?



Dad: No, I havent seen it. Did you look outside?

Rocco: You know he doesnt like to go outside when it's cold... or hot.

Dad: Yes, I know. I am just glad we will all be together for Christmas.

Dozer: Amen to that!

Santa

So, Orazio took his first pictures with Santa today. He did well. He doesn't look too happy in the photos, but he didn't cry.
