Update -

The boys are well and getting ready for an action packed summer. Today was our last day of gymnastics (although we will be going to Gym Toddler Camp later this summer) and we are ready for fun. Mama Boal is coming to visit next week and Pops Laterza again in August which will be really fun. Other visitors this month include our friends from DC and David's cousin and his family from Alabama the second week of July. Also this weekend we plan to make our first trip to the Zoo with Chrissy which will be fantastic.

Nino is going back to the doctor next week for official stats, but believe me when I tell you that he is getting BIG. He also continues to roll to one side and babbles/koos when he is happy. Most importantly he is sleeping so much better at night (average is 9:00pm - 5:00am) which has been like heaven to all of us.

Alessandro continues to be the model big brother every day. He is jumping around, loves to play outside, loves the park, adores the library (and books in general) continues to torment the dog and is simply Elmo obsessed. If you want to get anything done around the house and not read a book for a moment, then Elmo on CD, DVD or Tivo is the answer my friends. He is so impressed that he can now eat at the table with us, although we have not put the high chair away just yet. The newest excitement is that Pops sent up all of Daddy's old matchbox cars and we play with them every evening. What he likes best is to hold each of them up and have Daddy detail the make, model and color in detail. Perhaps a future Nascar driver or fan. Dare to dream.

Happy Summer!
