Alessandro is Six Months Today!

All - today is Alessandro's 1/2 Birthday!

He is six months and going strong. The official report from the doctor is that he is healthy as a horse. The tail of the tape is 19.1 lbs and 29 1/2 inches, which is "off the charts" as they say for real. He is happy and learning something new everyday. Right now current loves include the swings at the park, grabbing glasses, his blocks and the new obsession the remote control (can you guess how thrilled Daddy is?). He continues to love school and can not wait for the church Halloween carnival his next opportunity to be the center of attention.

All our love!

Our friend Jo Visits -

Our friend Jo and her great boyfriend Pete visited us for Pizza night last week. They are going on an exciting trip to Paris which we can not wait to hear more about. Perhaps they will bring me a very stylish beret?

More Swim Class Fun!

Now I have been to swim class three times - we go every Saturday morning. Daddy and Mommy trade off for who goes in the water with me. Last week I went "underwater" four times and did not seem to be really afraid. Perhaps I am half fish like Mama Boal says? Stay tuned perhaps I will be doing flip turns my Thanksgiving?

Swim Class

This past weekend - Alessandro and Mommy started Swim Class. The class is in the gym at our building and is for babies four months and up. Class was something we were looking forward to and we could not wait to show off our natural ability in the pool. The class is based on basic strokes and tasks and is based on singing songs. For those of you in the area our teaches looks a bit like Jude Law (will explain this later Moma Boal) if you would like to drop by one Saturday. For the rest of you know Alessandro Spitz is swimming in the water and in the words of our cute teacher "has a natural stroke ability" - of course he does.

Updates Month Five -

Being five months is hard work - Alessandro currently has three teeth above the gums and he can just about roll over. He is chewing on everything and everything (look at my gift box from Herrods - good work Daddy - being chewed on). Alessandro also likes to listen to us sing, read books to him or Daddy to make any kind of strange noises possible. He is still very good in school, sleeping and in general we feel very blessed each and everyday. Enjoy some little photos of day to day operations.

Aunt Peaches Day

Alessandro spent Saturday afternoon with His Aunt Peaches (Paget). We had a lovely lunch at Steamers where we sipped wine and played with the baby. Afterwards, we walked to the park and rode the baby swing for a few minutes. What a fun day! Alessandro loves Paget and thinks playing with her is pretty special (and it is). Come back soon Peaches!
