They grow up so fast...

Fun with the Fam

A few weeks ago we spent the night at Nonna's with cousin Will & Stefan. It was a lot of fun!



Look at what cousin Will can do...

Love that face!

Bye Bye...See ya later!

Big Brother

As mommy continues to grow, Dennie definitely seems to have a sense of something changing. He touches my belly often and has hugged it gently. Here are some great pictures Gabrielle caught one day while we talked about the baby and Dennie becoming a big brother.

"I'm not too sure about this..."



"Check me out....I'm gonna be a BIG brother!"

Easter Weekend

He's on a mission



Clover had a car just like Dennie's which he loved driving around
(so nice to see him smile....this was a rare occurence while he was so sick)

Man in Motion

Dennie's mom was talking to someone at the bookstore who asked if he was walking yet. As soon as she said, "not really," Dennie decided to prove her wrong. He immediately let go of her hand and took a few steps! He keeps getting steadier and steadier:
