We find it difficult to believe that 11 months has passed since we brought Matteo home. Wow. In just one month, he will celebrate his first birthday. At this stage in his development, he crawls everywhere. Whether he crawls or cruises along the furniture, he gets around this house with the ease of an experienced [...]

Stubborn teeth
Matteo is nearly 11 months, but only has two teeth. For months now, we have been waiting for new ones. While we were eating breakfast this morning, I was able to get my fingers in his mouth to check. Looks like the new one on the bottom may break through any day. We noticed a [...]
Duck
For the last month or so, Matteo has been saying a few recognizable words. His first was, “Dad”, which really sounded like “Da”. At first, we thought he just might be making sounds, but he seemed to say it when we entered the room. Recently, he started saying, “hi” and “bye” as he waved to [...]
Our boys
I took some pictures of the boys the other day as we were goofing around and playing. Enjoy.
School days
Well, the walking stick insects did not do the trick today. Sadly, Christopher cried, calling for daddy as I walked away with Matteo. I called a bit later to check, and of course he had eaten a BIG breakfast, and was happily playing. In the meantime, Matteo and I went to Peet’s for coffee – [...]
I don’t want to go to school, Daddy.
Today was Christopher’s fifth day at school. The morning started just like any other. He got dressed, drank his milk, and we left for school. A few times, he muttered, “I don’t want to go to school, Daddy.” I reminded him of his teachers and friends. He seemed to have no interest. I reminded him [...]
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 a couple of photos [...]
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 and laughter [...]
Check out my new iPhone
Actually, the iPhone isn’t an iPhone at all. It happens to be my old – and all-time favorite – iPod mini that no longer works. Christopher picked it up off my desk and began using it. Check out this video! I apologize for the low-quality; the lighting in our office isn’t great. My new iPhone [...]
The potty diaries – December 4, 2009
When we began posting updates this week, we were hoping to have a potty-trained boy by week’s end. Well, today is the day. So, what you may ask, are the results of our endeavor? Christopher wears underwear every day. He has accidents occasionally, but for the most part goes potty on the toilet. We are [...]
