Santino turns 1 year old!

Alexya helped me make cupcakes for Santino's first birthday! She helped eat them too :)

Santino is now officially 1 year old! Wow, did it go by fast or what??!!
Thank you to everyone who sent cards/gifts! Alexya helped open them and I will definately save them all in his babybook for him.
(Chris, thx again for the truck...Robert & Alexya are having a hard time sharing it with Sonny though)

Sonny really enjoyed eating his first cupcake!

The Christmas Fairy! A month after christmas, she still wants to wear her dress. She also got a chance to finally ride her new bike the last couple days since the rain let up! She took her first fall already and thank God for helmets! After falling and crying for a minute she jumped out of my arms and onto the bike again because, "I still want to go biking, mom." ~that's my girl! :)

Walking Santino! :)

The Boys!

Santino would like to announce that since Uncle Danny and Uncle Chris were giving him such a hard time over the holidays...he decided to show them what's up and learn how to walk. ;) So now as of 2 days ago...he has decided to take more than 3-5 steps and just keeps going and is walking all over the house now. He is very excited and just wanted to let everyone know...including his uncles who kept "encouraging" him. ;) Also, a nana-nanana to his sister who learned a wk before her 1st b-day...since he learned 3 wks before his!
