Gio's Halloween Photos!

Our Little Monkey

Skull-O-Lantern

It was such a beautiful night, we decided to carve our pumpkin since it was daddy's day off! Antonio picked the design and we all sat outside and got to work! It was a lot of fun :) Antonio was so excited with the way it came out!

Join Us For An Adventure!

You are all invited to Antonio's 6th Birthday Party!

A Few Mobile Uploads of Giovanni

Here are a few photo's from my cell phone. My baby Giovanni is getting so big I cant even deal!! He can open doors now!! He says so many words such as "mama" "dada" "baba" "hi" "bye" "nice" "owie" "more" "stop" -- I just can not get over how smart he is at 12 months old! Praise the good Lord!!
Trying on his Halloween hat haha not too happy about it:

Pumpkin Picking 2010!

Today Josh and I took the kids pumpkin picking! They had a lot of fun. Afterwards, we went to the store and bought a whole bunch of items so we could bake a pumpkin/apple pie from scratch! I did not taste it yet, but grandma said it was delicious!!! Tomorrow, we will cook the pumpkin seeds... we do that every year. Last year, Giovanni was too small to take out pumpkin picking, so this was his first time. He did a great job picking out his very own pumpkin. Antonio picked a really large one this year, we are going to have fun when we carve them!

Jersey Shore Fans

Jersey Shore is one of the biggest reality shows in America right now.

Friday, Josh and I (along with a few friends) went to Aja for a few drinks and some dancing... and even got to hang out with Ronnie Ortiz Magro from the show. Good times, Good times.

Halloween Deco's

Just got done putting up our Halloween Decorations.

Pretty much looks the same every year with a few more things added :) Its such a beautiful day out!! We totally love this time of year! Antonio helps with a lot of the decorating, he has so much fun doing it and we have so much fun watching him do it! Giovanni is enjoying the weather and watching everyone decorate. LOVE this family time!

Just Ordered Giovanni's Halloween Costume

I am beyond excited! I have found the cutest costume for Giovanni this year, in honor of my father who really wanted him to be a monkey because he calls him "Grandpa's Monkey". I have never dressed Nino in one of those really "baby-ish" costumes, and really wanted to do it this time around. I can't wait until it arrives, I totally hope it fits this buddha boy!!

I think my baby is going to look so amazingly adorable in this costume even though I always said I would never dress my kid up in something like this. Its funny how some of your taste changes as you get older... some of these costumes are to die for!!
Its so much fun when you get to choose your child's costume because they are too young to do it, Antonio has been picking his own Halloween costumes for the past 4 Halloweens, so I really have no say if he picks a silly one, as long as he is happy!

Thank You So Much Mom!!

Thank you mommy for taking the time to work so hard on the best birthday cupcake I ever had! It meant so much to me because you worked so hard to make it. It was the best, most beautiful birthday cupcake I have ever seen. Thank you for making my 27th birthday so special! I love you so much to the moon and the stars and back again a million times!
Can not wait to celebrate tomorrow with hubby!

Giovanni's 1st Haircut

Saturday, Giovanni got his first hair cut! He did such a great job! He did not cry or whine at all! We saved his first little beautiful curl for his baby book. I still have Antonio's first curl!

(Sorry some of the photos are blurry, they were taken from a cell phone and I was snapping fast)

After his bathy:
