ciao! and some first time stuff

We drove down to Miami yesterday to visit Vin's cousins who were in from Italy. Vinny was so excited to see them and to have them meet Leah! They hadn't seen each other in about 9 years, since a wedding oh so many years ago. Anna and Antonio were amazing! We had so much fun! We arrived in about 2 hours, not too bad of a trip. When we got out of the car, Leah's eyes just connected with Anna, it was so great! Leah just stares at Anna while she spoke to her in Italian, like she totally knew what was being said! She probably did!
Anna is so cute, just so fun and happy! She said "bella mia" over and over, I think leah loved hearing that! This is Antonio and Vinny and a family friend named Leonard who lives in Miami. He has this cool house full of mid century modern furniture, it was so cool. I wish I would have taken some pictures of the house! He reminds me of my Uncle Johnny, a motorcycle riding, art collector who knows all the cool spots to go.











Leah has been standing on her own. Not totally on her own, of course, it is while against the couch, but we are still surprised that she can do it! However, this picture is slightly bittersweet, yes I got the picture, but when she heard the camera being put down, Lee let go of the couch and had a first. He bonked her head on the floor. There were tears from both of us, more from me believe it or not. Within a few minutes she was fine, ready to play and roll on...

Speaking of roll on:) Check out this trick!


Here's to firsts.
Love that Leah Bug

OH MY GOSH - Leah is way too cute, and how great that you could show her off to Vin's Italian relatives!!! Can't you see Leah jumping on a train in Rome, wearing killer Italian shoes? :) Ok, we'll stick with rolling over for now. HOW COOL!!!!
