Happy Birthday, Matteo

Today, we celebrate a huge milestone. Happy Birthday to Matteo!
With the passing of one year, we have seen Matteo grow from a sometimes inconsolable yet lively newborn to a happy baby boy, who is on the threshold of taking his first steps. What a year it has been…
Today we spent the [...]

The waiting is over!

Though Matteo has not grasped the whole concept of drinking milk from a sippy cup, he is drinking a few ounces. The best part is that he has not fussed much at all.
Looking back, I have no idea why we have been so nervous. When Christopher was this age, he didn’t drink much [...]

Another haircut, another first BART ride, and what is it with the remote?

After dinner last night, we gave Matteo a haircut. Yes, we did it. We used the clippers. We were going to have our barber cut it during the last visit, but he was running a bit late; we did not have the time to wait. We think it looks better than [...]

In the meantime, Matteo and I went to Peet’s for coffee [...]

I don’t want to go to school, Daddy.

My first day at preschool

Christopher went to school today. He was there for only two hours; this is the routine for transitioning new students. Though I was allowed to stay for the first hour or so, I need not. He began playing right after we walked in the door and greeted the teachers.
I took [...]

Happy New Year’s Eve

Today brings a close to 2009. What a great year this was for us… Let us reflect on some big accomplishments, a few met milestones, and one huge life-changing event.
1. 2009 would not be so special if it were not for the arrival of Matteo, the little boy who added more love [...]

More holiday pics for you to enjoy

I thought these pictures were worthy of posting.

Merry Christmas Eve

Today started just like any other day. Matteo awoke around 5:45; I changed his diaper, sat with him as he finished a bottle and then he went back to la-la land. Christopher awoke at 7 am – this is sleeping in for him and us. He drank his milk, watched an episode [...]

Up, up and away!
