Nico's First Trip to the Beach, Meeting Gianna and Giada, and Birthdays!

Weekend before last the Kernals came to visit. The weather was so beautiful we decided to head to the beach. We had such a fun and relaxing day. Nico loved the beach........he slept all afternoon. Vino loved playing at the beach too! We loved spending time with the Kernals and maybe one day we will live closer to each other!

Nico meeting Gianna

On our way home from the beach we stopped at the Bordessa's. Nico slept the entire time we were at the Bordessa's but it won't be long and he will be in the mix with Dylan and Gianna.

The girls with the kids!

I captured a few cute pictures of Gianna and Dylan

Dylan going in for a kiss. Too Cute

Birthdays

We had lots to celebrate this past week. Suzanne, Sharon, My Grandfather (Bopa) and Brother Rob all had birthdays. We did lots of eating and had a great time seeing family and friends.

Suzanne, Bopa and Sharon all celebrating their birthdays on the 22nd. We had a great dinner and finished with a yummy cake.

We then headed to Stockton to celebrate my Brother Rob's birthday. We went to Sushi with Mike and Michele, Collin and Jake. Once again we had a great meal as well as great company!

On Friday we had lunch with the Coldani's and Kernal. Nico met Giada for the first time. They were on opposite schedules so we didn't get a picture of both of them awake. Giada and Nico are 7 weeks apart.

On Friday night-Rob's roommate Collin hosted a birthday party for Rob and made him wear his Burning Man costume. Here is a picture of Rob with all the ladies at the party. Marc and I enjoyed a few hours out-we left Nico with Nonna and Nonno.

We came home Saturday to get ready for the week because next weekend starts Cherry Season! We are going to be very busy bees!

Nico turns 1 Month

Nico turned 1 month yesterday........where does time go? We took a few pictures of him-thanks Nicole for the cute idea! Nico has a few new tricks this week. He has started to coo-it is so adorable. He has smiled back at us and has discovered his toys. We are having so much fun!

Meeting Hannah for the first time

Hannah was born 4/4/09. Meghan and I grew up together and we were due a month apart. Hannah and Nico are three weeks apart almost to the day. On Tuesday we prepared dinner and took it to them. We enjoyed a fun evening filled with eating, nursing, changing diapers and sharing parental advice. Boy have have our lives changed! Marc and I left there house realizing how quickly Nico has changed over the past month. Hannah was 6lbs 5oz so very close to Nico's birth weight and Nico looks so big next to Hannah. Hannah also slept most of the evening and Nico was awake and wanting to be entertained. Marc and I look forward to the many adventures with the Healds. Below are pictures from the evening.


Meghan and I holding our babies. We both received the same blanket so we thought it would be cute to take a picture with our babies bundled in their blankets.

Future love connection?????

Easter, Katie's Wedding, and Nico's First Party

We have had a very busy couple of weeks. Weekend before last we went to Marc's parents who hosted an open house for family and friends to meet Nico. Nico loved his first party. We are so lucky to have such great family and friends. This past weekend we went to Redding to attend our friend Katie Meyer's wedding. On Sunday we left for Linden where we had Easter at Steve and Carla's. It has been a fun filled week and Nico is a great traveler. Nico is growing by the second, on Thursday he weighed in at 8lbs 90z, he is definitely more alert as well.
