A small step for Raul, a huge step for our family :)

Yesterday Raul proved his courage by making his first steps all by himself. Here's a short video of his adventure:





I also added some of our favorite automn pics. Enjoy!

Showing my dad some love!

Koko...remember yesterday when you gave Raul the keyboard to play with? You saw he wrote me sth...here's what he said:

The words to tell a dad just how special he is can be hard to find, and when you have a dad like mine it seems they don't even exist! Still, I'll try to use these simple words to thank you for the chance to receive and experience every day all the love you have to offer. I know your life is busy, but there's always time for mommy and me even if it means neglecting your work! I see you're never willing to miss one moment with me and I always come first. I'm just a little boy now, but I know your heart will never change and you will always be next to me to give me a kiss on the cheek when I wake up, to have fun times together, to teach me how to ride a bicycle, how to play basketball and later how to drive a car. I want you to be one of my very best friends and I hope you know that I take pride in calling you "tatatata" and that when I'm all grown up you're what I want to be!!!

Dad, I love you for holding me high off the ground while playing "the parachute", for watching me giggle when you bounce me on your knee, for making my baths so fun, for always tucking me in to bed, for caressing me for 6 months, for making me a Capricorn so that I could be closer to being you and for many other things you do for our family and things you haven't done yet, but that will come with my growing up! Thank you, my special daddy!!!!

our green-eyed miracle

9 months in just a few days...Time really flies, and when you are so busy making memories to last for a lifetime you don't even realize just how fast it does. That's what we were up to this past month, making the most of every day spent with Raul. He's such a big boy now. He made his first steps and even if he still has a long way to go, we're getting there. He's climbing everything around the house, the furniture, sofa, and we found him in places we never thought he could reach. I guess we have to be extra careful now that he's crawling with full speed in his attempt to get his hands on all there is around. I know I said it before, but he really is the apple of our eyes, and we love him sooooooooo!!!!

"Let me have him!" Muhahahhh

Happy birthday to...me :)

On Sunday we celebrated my 21st anniversary and Raul made it all the more special for me with his presence, laughter and curiosity. I really enjoyed being around my family and then my friends, and although we did nothing fancy I felt appreciated and special. Thanks to all those who made it happen! Here are some photos of our "party" at home:

singing me "happy birthday" :)

this seemed like the perfect occasion to answer to Manu's request and post pictures of my parents :)

Now Ola isn't the only one with a new hairdo (only mine is temporary) :)

Here are some photos of Raul's adventure at the zoo...

And since we had an eventful week I just had to post some photos of our daily trips to "Ocna" :)

And last but not least take a look at this crazy aunt :))

the most beautiful mommy :)
