Christmas 2008

It was Danny's first Christmas, and Ava's 8th... The back pack for Danny was a big hit. After the gifts were all opened, Isabelle and Danny headed off to climb Everest.

Danny - 7 Months

First Food... Avocado

Dude's not really "eating" yet (he doesn't have teeth.)
But he is starting to involuntarily "moosh", a little.

Houston, we have a crawler

Or at least, a scooter...

Halloween 2008

Danny was a Squash (or an odd-shaped Pumpkin), Ava was Cleopatra, and Daddy was a Vampire. I suppose that makes Isabelle a photographer, and a victim!

Danny at five months

He's still struggling with the sleep patterns, but that doesn't mean he's not having a good time!

A House Divided

Grandpop won't like it, Ava wearing Dodger blue during the playoffs... But Danny's sporting Phillies red to balance things out.

And it's show time!

Grandparent Update

Danny at four and a half months... teething hard, wants to get moving, and I swear he says "Mama" when he's hungry.

Another Birthday, Another Cake in the Face

The tradition of birthday cake face smashing continues! And Danny continues to explore muscular development and motor skills.

Hang Loose in Hawaii

Isabelle, Mom, Ava, Danny, Vero and I had a wild week in Hawaii, with a lot of laughs, AJ the perfect chef ("con leche!"), surf lessons, and daily adventures in the waves.
