Papa and his "Mini-me"

Antonio has been on a "papa" kick lately. Every time we are at my moms he has to dress exactly like papa. Here are some photos of them tonight in their PJ's cleaning the lanai and tending to Antonio's garden... he sure is papa's joy.

Happy Birthday Francesca!

Yesterday, we celebrated my goddaughters 8th birthday which was on the 27th. My niece Francesca. We had such a great time with family and friends and the kids had a blast!

Setting up Giovanni's crib and bassinet :-D

What a fun "baby" day we had today! Josh was off and I had an OB apt. in the morning. The little munchkin sounds great :-D
We get to go for another sonogram on Monday and I'm so excited!
When we got home, Josh and my dad put together the crib and bassinet which came in the beginning of the week! Woohoo! I can finally get started on the room! So far I already folded and put away all of the newborn clothes I have and hung up all of the 6-9 mo stuff! So exciting!!

Its such a great size and great quality... I am VERY happy with it!

I cant wait to put the mattress in and set up his crib theme.

I don't want to do that too early though.

The beautiful bassinet:

SO gorgeous in person!
Wish the true colors showed up,
such a beautiful shade of ivory and green..

A few photos from the past week :)

Here are a few photos of my beautiful boy from this past week I just wanted to share :)

Giovanni's Homecoming Outfit!

Had a wonderful day today with my mom and sister Andrea. Pizza Hut and Babies R Us is becoming a tradition for us! Giovanni got 3 more outfits!

My mom bought his homecoming outfit that I picked out! Its sooo gorgeous in person, I wish the photo would do it justice but it just does not, its so much more "rich" looking in person.. I LOVE IT and it is so soft! It reads "handsome man" with a crown of course :)

My sister got Giovanni a gorgeous outfit for his Christening party after he takes off his Christening outfit so he is more comfy. I did this with Antonio and it worked out great. Again, the photo just does not do it justice! This one is all white with tiny raised white crowns all over it :)

I got Giovanni a little "rocker" outfit.. it was just so cute I couldn't resist!

And a few odds and ends :)

Giovanni 20 weeks, 3 days in the belly :)

Beach, Pool and Play Saturday!

What a fun Saturday we had today! Antonio spent the day with his cousin (and my Goddaughter) Francesca. They get along so well! We spent the day at the beach and in grandma's pool :) Our stingray friends were at the beach again swimming right next to us :)

In McDonalds Parking lot:

Back home in Grandma's pool:

Beach Day

We had a great day at the beach today. Antonio just loves it. We walked way out in the water (and it still didn't go past my knees!) and a huge stingray swam right by our feet, there were bunches of them today! Antonio was ecstatic! He wanted to go after them but I had to explain to him all about the sea life lol. There was also a hammer head shark spotted near us! We didn't get to see it but others did and said they see him all the time! Maybe we will get to see him next time :) After the beach, we stopped for some delicious Italian Ices, Yum!

"Preggy belly" - view from my eyes lol:

Antonio had to get the quart:

My quad screening test results also came back today... negative! Praise the Lord for our little healthy Giovanni!! Today is the 20 week mark for me... halfway!!
