Nemo

We had a Halloween Party for the mommy group I am involved with. Enzo wore his Nemo costume (Thank you Grandma U!) and his buddy, Shyla, sported a dashing chicken suit.

He's completely mobile now. All objects are fair game.

Pumpkin Patch

We found an Enzo size pumpkin. Be sure to check out the teeth in the smiling photo...

Baby on the move! Watch out!

Laguna Seca

We took a family trip to Monterey for the final race of the season. Enzo was cool, calm and collected at the track. In fact, he fell asleep during one of the races with the engines blaring in the background. To think I was worried about him fussing because of the loud noise!

Let the games begin!

teething

This is what we've been up to these past 2 months. Teething, big time. Enzo has 4 teeth in and two more top ones on the way.

Six Months

It's true. Our boy is six months old already. As you can see, most of our day is spent either chewing on various objects or laughing. I've never been happier.

Sitting up

Enzo can now sit without support. Doesn't he look pleased as punch? Note the toe grab in the second photo, he can multitask!

Summertime!

Last weekend we went to our good friend, Katy's, family BBq. It was a perfect summer day spent with great company. Enzo even went for a little swim in the kiddie pool.

this and that

Katy K sent me a link to a neat website that makes digital images look like polaroids. Of course Enzo makes the ideal subject... In the last one, he's practicing what I like to call "dolphin speak" which is basically a high pitched squeal he enjoys making (repeatedly)

disneyland!!!

The "funiartes" headed to disney for Grandma U's b-day. A great time was had by all, even Enzo went on a few rides! He fared reasonably well through the Haunted Mansion and the Jungle cruise. Though I think his favorite place, by far, was the nursing room and diaper changing station.

4th of July

We went to our friend Jane's picnic at a park for the Fourth and had a blast. Eric played baseball and volleyball while Enzo and I sat in the shade and ate pie. (Well, I ate pie as Enzo watched.) As usually, everyone was very impressed by Enzo's girth. As we like to say, "he's thriving"

bath time

Baby has little Budda Rolls. Very Enlightened, indeed.

daddy time

adventures and misadventures abound.

highlight of my life.

Pure, unadulterated, happiness and love: Enzo laughing- and caught on tape!

Mural

This is the mural I painted for Enzo's room. I had gone back and forth for months on whether or not to paint on the wall, then finally decided to just do it. It was scary putting the first strokes of acrylic down but after I got started the whole thing only took 2 evenings. I think it turned out rather well in the end.

Piano (and 3 months old!)

This is the Piano we inherited from my Grandma, Gladys. We feel so fortunate to have this gorgeous piece for Enzo to grow up with.
