Just Dropping By to say "Ciao"

It's All About Me...

That's right, folks, today is my official 1st birthday. So far, it has been a day of excitement and adventure. I woke up to a splendid aroma of dog feces-- Coco was excited it was my birthday, I guess. After Mom cleaned up the mess, I got some long awaited oatmeal with banana (sweet!) and some play time with Daddy before he hit l'ufficio. Mom and I went by the Italian market with Grampy and Uncle Tom for some fettucine alfredo and some love from my friend Luigi. Tonight there shall be more gifts from the 'rents and hopefully a little ice cream. Turning one definitely has it's benefits.

Shake What Yo' Mama Gave Ya...

After the bday extravaganza, I showed my Mama a good time... We went to Church and then had breakfast a la Uncle Mikey, Uncle Tommy & Uncle Dave. That night, Daddy made Mama and Grammy dinner. Here are some pics of the big day. The sign was courtesy of Uncle Mikey-- Happy Mother's Doy!

Age Ain't Nothin' But a Number...

Although Number 1 is pretty exciting, people. I just had an early bday party at Grammy & Grampy's house. It was fantastic.

"A View From the Bay"

My fab photographer, Lauri Levenfeld of Zoom Photography, asked me to partake in a local TV promo in San Francisco. Here are some of my shots. The show should air in the next month or so. I will keep you posted on my big debut!

Who Doesn't Love a Little Nascar?

Birthdays, Weddings & All That Jazz...

So, these past few weeks have been quite entertaining. Both Uncle Dave & Uncle Tom celebrated their 27th and 24th birthdays (in consec. order) at Zocalo's last Sunday. This weekend, Uncle Dave and Aunt Maria got married and I was the flower girl. I tell you, people, life is just a bowl of cherries lately. You can see from these pics I was heavily involved in both celebrations. It's a good thing, too, seeing how much I adore my uncles and my new aunt! Enjoy!
