Bead Maze

He plays with this bead maze toy for 20-30 minutes at a time! He's so serious about his bead work! And as my mom and sister astutely pointed out, he's also so PROUD of himself!

Look alikes

Rocco looks so much like my big brother :)

Happy Birthday, Rocco!

Rocco had a wonderful birthday with family and friends! Yummy brunch at Devil's Food, lots of celebrating over good eats. Grandma and Papa spoiled him with wonderful gifts and a fancy dinner out to Linger. Aunt Amanda gave him a favorite Borho toy and lots of hugs and kisses. Cousin Ella kept a rigorous training schedule teaching Rocco to walk. And baby Kate? She's still unsure what she thinks of the big boy Rocco :)

After dinner, Auntie Nel hosted a small party for those who have loved Rocco so well in his first year at her bake shop. Everyone who was either at Rocco's birth or there within a couple hours, celebrated with cupcakes, coffee, and wonderful gifts! Rocky loved his jumbo cupcake! (pictures to come)

Rocco. You are such a sweet, smart, wonderful boy who we love so tenderly and marvel over each day! Happy Birthday, son! We love you!

Location:Sugar Bakeshop, Denver, CO

Beep! Beep!

You're not old enough yet Rocco!

Friends!

Rocco can't get enough of his friend Harper. He's quite taken with her, even if she is one year and one day older.

They like to do things like share juice .... and chase each other around.

Actually, he's given Harper two hugs so far! I've seen him give me, sean, and Pattie hugs voluntarily, but that's it!

Harper is one lucky gal!

Friends forever!
...or until they discover cooties!

Happy Halloween!

Roooooaaarrr!

We were able to snap this adorable picture of our little lion and Pattie on his first Halloween :)




It seems like only yesterday that October 31 was our due date, and here we are with an almost 1 year old in a sweet lion costume that he picked out at the store! Whew! A year goes by fast!

Happy Halloween!
