Update
I have been pretty preoccupied, with different projects and meetings and I have barely found time to take pictures of my baby, let alone write an update...
But excuses aside, I finally took some time, while Angelo was in a meeting to write a little something about our little rascal.
Claudia has grown into a real heart breaker, and I am about to rave a bit now so beware, you have been warned.
I love the way she is lazy in the mornings, and after a whole nights rest from about 9-8:30 she will wake up and crawl into our bed and just want to cuddle and kiss us. She will scoot her back into me and then turn around grab my head and give me a big kiss, complete with sound affects "Muuuuuuah".
I love the way she calls me Mama when she is hurt or sad, and throws herself into my arms (quite literally)and wants me to just hold her.
She is vain too, this afternoon after her nap as we were cuddling on the bed I caught her looking into the mirror and trying to fix her wild curly hair! She likes putting on mascara (yepp that's right, she sits dead still while Angelo puts it on) and if I put on makeup, she insists on sitting in my lap and doing exactly what I do.
Yesterday we caught her getting her Kiddie Viddie opening the DVD player putting it in and turning it on, and she actually set it all up by herself! She gets very excited once she figures things out, and has a little victory dance (more like shake) that she performs.
She is really too smart for her own good, and knows just how to twist you around her little finger, me and the rest of the inhabitants here.
Every night she wants to sit on the chair with you, drink a bottle and read this book called "childhood memories", but the strange thing is that there aren't really any pictures in the book, there is about one or two per chapter but its just a sketch. However for some reason she really likes being read to, I did try reading another more interesting book, as I figured she wouldn't know the difference as it is just words, but she wouldn't have it!
I am teaching her now, about four days a week and its been so fun to watch her progress through her cards, and see how quickly she learns them. In March I am going to Spain, for a week long educational seminar, so hopefully I will get lots of good tips, and ways to improve.
Well its getting late, and I have been feeling a little under the weather so should sign out now, I will try to get some recent photos posted, but my computer just came back from repairs as the hard drive took a bang, and I still need to do my backups.

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!

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.
Walking to the Beach.
In the water.
We got a great discount, on babies at the Shopping Center!
A Parrot we saw while at the beach, one evening.
