Santa, Part 4

Santa, Part 3

Santa, Part 2

It took a little while, but Orazio figured out how to open his gifts. And dump trucks are good places to sit - not just put things in!

Santa

Orazio was very good this past year, so Santa paid a visit last night. Orazio loved the trucks that Santa left by the fireplace. More pictures and video to follow.

I Can Do It Myself

Orazio now likes to feed himself - which usually means that we both end up wearing whatever dinner was. The bulldogs are in for a treat when we get to NY.

Trucks

Orazio has discovered the world of trucks. Unfortunately,

he makes a b-line for the camera as soon as I attempt to take a picture of him with his new favorite toy. One of his trucks is in the background of the picture. He is wearing his new Chuck-E-Cheese backpack in the other. We can't go anywhere without the red and yellow truck. Hopefully Santa knows about his new love and brings a couple for Christmas.

Snow and Star Wars

Orazio and I have had an eventful few weeks. I decided to brave the attention span of a 1 year old, and attempt to get a picture for our Christmas card. Orazio was much more interesting in playing with the snow and ice, than standing still and looking at Mom for a picture. Orazio was also "helpful" in the kitchen. We have been making cookies, which now have the added flavoring of Orazio's hands. Don't worry, I tested a bunch for quality before allowing Orazio to taste the fruits of his labor. Orazio LOVES the Christmas decorations. The movie of him "conducting" is his method of dancing to the music of a Star Wars ornament. I also picked up an animate Tigger for Orazio. The video is the first time Orazio made Tigger sing. We start off almost every morning listening to one or two iteration of Tigger's song.

Giggles

Orazio, Mom and Dad had so much fun this past week. Here are some more pictures! Enjoy!
