It's been sooooo long

Sorry to all of you who have been checking my blog for updates. I know it has been a very long time. Giacomo has grown so much since September. We celebrated his birthday in October with a big party and a blow up castle. He thought it was great when everyone sang him Happy Birthday. In December, we celebrated Giacomo's second Christmas. He was most excited about ribbons, wrapping paper, and Christmas lights. Our neighbors have a Griswold-like light display. Giacomo couldn't wait for the lights to turn on every night so he could point out the window and declare "Ooooooo". Most of all, Giacomo enjoyed having his Grandparents around for the celebrations.

Now we are in April and Giacomo is almost 18 months. He is running around like a toddler and saying a new word every day. His favorite words are typically sounds like vroom (truck), woof (dog), neigh (horse), ow (cat), and fish (fish). He also still love saying yuck and hot, pretty much about everything. His favorite activities are playing outside (rain, sun, or cold) and "cooking" in his kitchen. He also loves his sandbox, balls, trucks, blocks, and BOOKS. Giacomo could sit on your lap for hours and look at books, mostly about trucks and animals. Most of his favorite books have pictures and/or flaps.

Giacomo is such a fun kid at a great age. He is cautious but adventurous, kind and very curious. I am fortunate for every day I get to spend with him.
