I LOVE HER!!!!

Family Pics

So Claudia is almost one year old, I haven't been faithful to update this blog, but I will give you a little update of her progress. She now walks around, of course she stumbles abit but she takes a tumble very well, and gets right back up!
She loves talking on the phone, and pushing her stroller. Is crazy about raisins, and singing along with your favorite songs. She adores going through my clothes cupboard, and I have caught her with my skimpy dresses, hanging around her neck! (she knows how to put things over her head.) She also loves makeup, and when she saw me putting some on, she tried to do it herself, so Daddy put some mascara on her, and she sat as still as a statue until he was done! Another favorite pastime of hers is peek-a-boo, she covers her face with her shirt, hands or chair whatever is available and will then quickly peek out and giggle! (she has done this at restaurants and is the life of the party!) She points at stuff she wants, and will copy noises you make, she knows how to growl when she sees a lion, and turns the light switch on every morning, to me and Angelo's great dismay! This Thursday is her first birthday, our little Angel is growing up so fast, and I don't want to miss a second of it! Enjoy the pictures we took yesterday, for our family album!

Brushing her hair

Claudia was born with lots of hair, so even though she hasn't turned one yet, there is plenty to brush, (I even did her first French braid two days ago!) and she just loves copying me, when I brush mine. Of course its more head banging then hair brushing, for now, but she thinks its great fun!

New earings!

These are a bit late, but while we were in Italy we decided to pierce her ears on the same day she got her first tooth! Of course Daddy held her as I was a complete emotional wreck...I cried more then she did!

Traveling with baby

Here are some assorted pictures, of traveling with Claudia! She is a patient baby, and always gets us bumped to first class, hehe, she likes to travel in style! So far she has taken five planes, and been to three countries!

The many faces of Claudia

Yes I know its allot of photos but they all show different characters, of my chicho, so l had to post all of them!
Enjoy

Italy!

We are now in Italy with Claudia, and she is enjoying the sun and water, she got her first heat rash unfortunately, but other then that she loves to crawl around naked. She dosnt crawl normally all the time, she crawls on her hands and feet like Tarzan, its So cute she looks like a little monkey, she started doing that after she started crawling naked and realized that it didn't bother her knees, if she went on her feet!
Here are some pictures of our little Munchkin! All from the past two weeks in Italy, while visiting her Grandparents.

A Beautiful day to be outside.

Just me injoying Mom & Dad.

peacefully enjoying the view with Dad.

A Weekend alone with Dad!

Ok I have to be honest the first night was horrible
he gave me 1/4 of a bottle of milk and said that that was
what mom had left for me, I tried telling him that it was
impossible, but you know dad he wouldn't listen......

but other than that I must say he followed instructions quite well....

this can't be it...?!?!?!?

come on there has to be some more in here....!!!!!!

I used my potty three time a day...like Daniel....

He made me say please every time before he fed me...

We had great get-outs on the trampoline.....

My favorite game was the one where I would crawl
around the trampoline charging my self up, then I would
go to daddy and touch him on the face.
It would make this little crackly noise to which dad would let
out a loud scream, then I would go and charge myself again...I don't
think daddy liked it so much.

I took all my naps, and so did daddy I made sure....
