Difference of one week! (photo recap)

Wow, seriously, the difference of just one week makes!  Weather towards the end of winter is just bonkers.   Here are a few photos from our past week. From sun to snow to sun again. :)



Beautiful spring like weather for a day or two.  





We love our baths in this household.  



And he loves being wrapped up tight in a towel. 



 It was Grandma's (Lola's) 50th Birthday and party this week!
This boy has his Lola wrapped around his little finger. 





And then the snow came falling from the sky...
St. Patrick's Day



I just love this photo.  My face vs. Rocco's face.  Someone is not impressed...at all... 






Somehow we ended up standing on a snowy beach after mom's birthday dinner at Agave in Lewes. 
 This was the best shot on this cold and windy day
and then I stepped into the picture...


 Our faces are just priceless!
 Wonder who the crazy one was for suggesting this photo?




Now we are back to the first day of SPRING, and thank goodness! Let's hope this nice sunny weather continues on.


 Rocco is slowly but surely terrorizing the house and the dogs. 
He even went from standing next to the couch to climbing up on it.  (see below)

 Yup, he did this all himself; climbed up onto the couch.  I'm in trouble now. 





Now to just get ourselves out the house to enjoy the first day of spring.  
Hey, it's even free italian water ice day at Rita's!

Rocco's 10 months and Week Recap

Rocco is officially 10 months old!! I'm not quite sure how to celebrate 10 months since February cheated and only has 28 days so I guess I'm a bit late. 


About me...
20lbs 5.6oz
31.25" (off the charts!)
7 teeth (3 bottom, 4 top)

Crawls all over the house, TROUBLE on all fours. Into everything now!

Standing up next to anything he can pull himself with and cruising around the furniture

Waving buh-bye, Clapping hands, Giving high fives on command
Opens and closes his hand when you say "Open and Close" 

Still gets very worried when dogs bark


Loves...
Baths

Yelling and Squealing

Dancing to songs

Singing into the karaoke microphone, watching Lolo sing karaoke, and falls asleep to Daddy singing karaoke

Pretending to read books

Lola chasing him around with her monster noises

Crawling as fast as he can into the kitchen and makes a beeline for the dog food and water
FOOD.  
Pretty much all food but only wants to feed himself.  We can not spoon feed him any longer. 
Having better success with those squeeze tubes of baby food that he can feed himself with. Otherwise its whole fruits, veggies, beans, and tofu all day long for this boy. 
Oh, and he love love loves grapes right now. 

Plain and simple. This boy is into everything now. Huge difference from just two months ago. It's nuts!!





We are over here dreaming of warmer days to come.



It's moments like this that I want to remember forever. 
Those long legs of his wobbling from object to object.  




 Enjoying a lovely winter sunset



 Just a little grin likes this just melts my heart





Had our 3 month follow up Cardiology appointment this week to check on little mans' heart. The echocardiogram showed a small amount of growth with his aortic root but not as much as in past visits. Hope we continue down this path to eventually show no growth or minimal growth as expected for children.  
It was adorable watching him play with toys and other children in the waiting area. My boy is getting older. *tear. 




Here's a little video I took with my cell phone yesterday. 
He's gets so excited now when you say "Wanna take a bath?"
and loves to mimic your sounds. :)
