the beach in february....two days

seals in santa monica?!



my first bike ride....to venice beach!



tia nancy...showing me the time of my life.



we saw lou diamond philips at the beach!


sand is weird. but not as weird as grass that grows year round....

new england is not like this. when we left boston it was 20 degrees. when we got to l.a it was over 80.


p.s. i can say 'tata'

crazy cousins

walking - transitions

while in l.a., i practiced my walking skills. i worked really hard at 'transitions' -- that is moving from the carpet to the linoleum. these films are dark, but well worth straining your eyes over. one really nice thing about this film is that both my grandmas were there...along with some aunts; my cousin scott provided the soundtrack (he taught himself to play the piano and guitar from youtube!)

mawe's surprise birthday party

we flew cross country to celebrate my great aunt mawe's 90th birthday. it was a surprise and all of my mom's sisters were there with their families. nana, tata, nick, eny and arline were there too. i had a blast with my cousins carmen and omar.

the next weekend, my grandmama giuliana, aunt cristina and cousin scott came to visit. scott and i played the paino together and he taught me to play the guitar. it was lots of fun to see everyone. i think they enjoyed seeing me too!

and, i was a champ on the flights in and out of l.a. i'm a good traveler...and a good baby!

winter, new england style

it was a stormy day, with lots of snow expected. my mom and i decided to take the bus to sara's house. we weathered the weather and nearly made it with incident. nearly. a few houses from our destination we went down! luckily, neither of us got hurt...but it was pretty scary. this is my snow outfit....you can imagine what it looked like outside if i had to wear this!

the picture below is out the back deck....yes, those icicles are real!
