Another Pool Day!

Yesterday was such a beautiful day! Both Tavio and Mercedes had a great time playing in their pools!
Once again, it took Tavio a while to get in the pool.
Once Tavio was in, he was fine.

Mercedes loves her pool.

Poor Mercedes!

Even though she barks a lot...I still love our dog! She is so patient with Tavio - especially now that he is moving around everywhere.

Toys We Forgot About!

Sal and I recently cleaned out our basement and came across some of Tavio's birthday gifts that we never opened. Today was a perfect day to assemble this toy since it rained the entire day and we could not go outside. It kept Tavio busy all day!!!

Tap ~ "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof"

Sal & Tavio - watching the competition

Once the competition was done, we headed back to the hotel.
Tavio had a blast hanging out with the girls.

A BBQ With Julia!

Last night, we had a BBQ with a few friends. Jimmy & Jen's daughter, Julia, is absolutely adorable! I could not stop taking pictures...
This weather is crazy...It was so chilly that we started a fire.

Tavio was very excited to see Julia again.

Hey Julia...Look at what I can do!

Hi! How are you?

What an Angel...and she sleeps through the night too!

Pool Time!

Yesterday Tavio got to play in his pool.
pool toys...

At first, Tavio would not go in.

He played outside the tiny pool for a long time.

Finally...he let me put him in the pool.

And then he was done!

Tavio passed out as soon as I brought him in the house!
