photo shoots with la Bimba

Brought to you by her father and her Uncle Matt (also known as her new favorite babysitter).

my mind can't think of words, so here are a couple of photes from our time in Roma last weekend

We have so much catching up to do, but I just can't get my brain to function right now...

Italian beaches and sunsets and Alaina bonding with Zio Matteo

gotta document this

Today was the first day Alaina spent more time on her feet than on her knees. Hardly any crawling. Zero funky Shablaina knee sideways walk. She only asked for my finger to hold a few times, instead of the usual hundred. She toddled around and picked things up and kept on toddling on her feet.

For me, this is monumental.

Her life will never be the same.

Nor will mine.

don't know what to say

I just want to stay here and hang out forever.

It just never gets old. 

trying to say goodbye to Tuscany and Umbria

Pistoia, Florence, Siena, Montepulciano, Orvieto.

This is impossible.

I don't know how to say goodbye.
