Sweet Seats

Last night we got to go to the Laker

game and sit in Mr. Hubbard's seats, "Row 1" -which is actually a *bit* misleading because there are still two rows of folding chairs and the courtside seats in front of us, but amazing nevertheless! In front of us, we saw Ralph Macchio (aka the Karate Kid), his DWTS partner Karina, Desperate Housewife Teri Hatcher, and David Beckham and his son. Tony and I even ended up on the Kiss Cam...what a fun night!

Our Little Monkey at 5 Months

Luca is five months old and we haven't run out of monkey outfits yet for these monkey pics! And, as Grandpa says, "Wow, that monkey keeps getting smaller!" How I wish that were the truth - he's already growing up too fast for me! He now rolls both ways, can support his head with his arms stretched out on his tummy, reaches for things (mostly to put them in his mouth!) and is starting to play with little toys and rattles, mainly the kind that make little crinkly noises. Probably the coolest thing this month, though, has been his little belly laugh. Tony does a little "Jaws" routine with him that cracks him up every time. Also, he is starting to pay more attention to Daisy, especially when he is in his jumper, since that puts them at eye level. We think he thinks she is a walking stuffed animal. I'm guessing it won't be long before Daisy is his favorite toy - I'm also guessing that Daisy will start finding new hiding places in the house : )

Sadies 2011

Gregory's friend Emma took him to Sadie Hawkins this year...I remember how fun it was to shop for (and see everyone in their) matching shirts back in high school! Of course, nowadays, they get to have this dance at Knotts Berry Farm instead of just the school gym/quad...lucky kids!

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Just a cute little pic of Luca with a festive shamrock hat Mimi had lying around...

Baptism: Part II

In all of the craziness of the day of the actual baptism, I missed out on two KEY photo opportunites..1) Luca in his baptismal gown and 2) Luca with his grandparents. Here are the "make-up" pictures...the first, taken by Sarah in our family photo shoot and the second at Mikey and Imelda's wedding...better late than never!

Tarzan In Training

When Gregory was little, his doorway jumper was by far the family favorite toy to watch him play in. One of mom's friends used to call him Tarzan the way he could swing all over the kitchen from where the jumper was perched. This is Luca's first go at his jumper and, though it might take him a little while to figure it out, I'm guessing he will be swinging around our kitchen in no time...
