Swimming With Nonno!

Dean loved counting to three and jumping off the side of the pool into Nonno's arms! We use to have fun doing this when we were kids and I love that Dean gets to do it too! I had to take a picture of his wild hair after the pool.

Beach Time With Uncle Iván

Dean in Florida!!!

My family has been going to the same place in Florida for a long long time. I was so happy to know that we can continue this "tradition" with Dean! Last year he was too young to really know what was going on. This year he had a blast! He thought the sand was snow and didn't want to step on it at first. Once he realized that it was ok to walk on, well, it ended up more of a "chase Dean around the shore" game. Here are a few pictures of our afternoon stroll. Oh and I put in some pictures of him eating a yummy dinner his Nonna made for him! (by the way, the zoomed in picture of the man in the ocean is Uncle Iván).

Snuggle time with Uncle Iván

Dean got a little hyper after his first plane ride. But once we settled into the hotel in Florida he kind of decided a nice long sleep/nap was in order. Uncle Iván took advantage and got in some snuggling nap time with him! I LOVE these pictures!

First Plane Ride!

Dean, Nonno, Nonna, Uncle Iván and myself took a small vacation to Florida. It was easier to fly than to drive.
Dean did great on his first plane ride to Florida. He was a trooper and waited patiently to board the plane. He sat in his booster chair and was happy to look out the window and see other airplanes in the air. He was a big boy and was able to ask the flight attendant for "more apple juice please!" and handed her his drink cup.

Hanging Out With DaDa

Couldn't resist and had to take a picture of my boys munching on crackers and watching TV together!

Dean's Tower

One of Dean's favorite toys is this large bag of Mega Blocks. He loves to unzip it and empty it onto the floor. As I was doing something around the house I noticed that Dean was a bit too quiet. Sometimes a quiet child means a mischievous child. Not in this case. Dean managed to work on a tower of blocks! I couldn't resist and decided to take a picture of his accomplishment!
