Dante with his LB's!

These my friends are what mommy and daddy refer to as "leg boners or LB's" for short---My friend Sandy gets a kick out of this too=> I just call them my sexy, extended legs. I do this when I get all excited and happy to see someone (or a new toy!)

Dante going for his first ride on Daddy's shoulders

Weeeee! This is fun! Daddy makes playtime a blast=> I took a ride on daddy's shoulders....I was supposed to be in the bathtub and getting ready for bed but somehow I managed to get him to take me for a shoulder ride instead...hee hee! I think he enjoyed it too!

Every day is a holiday for Dante!

Well, I may not be Irish but I just celebrated with lots of green formula and green diapers! hahaha I still got kisses from all of my ladies and boy was I a happy camper. This is the silly bib my mommy made me wear but I guess it added that special charm to an already specially sweet baby!



Then it was off to the mall for a shopping spree and low and behold who do we see but the Easter Bunny!!!! It was perfect....no line and I was awake. I made the poor kid working the camera earn his keep because the smile in this photo basically lasted only two seconds and he snagged the shot---good job mister! I am looking forward to my first Easter Egg Hunt at the Chancey's and then Easter Dinner with the Davila's....Fun times to come!

Growing fast at 5 months

I am doing so many new things these days! I think I owe a lot of it to the great ladies in my life: Rosemary my Physical Therapist and Denise my Early Intervention Specialist who visits me weekly to make sure I am developing properly. They teach my mommy and daddy ways to make me roll over (I actually do this on my own now all the time!). I look forward to these visits and love to learn new things.Grammy and Grampy also teach me new tricks and help me do things like hold my bottle and flip over on to my tummy and then on to my back again=> Its fun, but sometimes, I spit up!

I am also eating lots rice cereal from the spoon....Forget giving it to me in the bottle, I am too good for that....I like my green bowl and high chair instead! Next, bring on the veggies! In this photo, I just downed a bowl of cereal and chugged a 5oz bottle! I also love to grab my toes and I get frisky after a bath and baby massage from mommy or daddy!

Dante at age 4 to 5 months

As life goes on, I continue to grow and learn. I am a happy little guy (unless I need to eat or sleep...then, look out!!!) I enjoy spending time with my family and do new things all the time to surprise them. I like to laugh and giggle when daddy plays with me and we have long talks....I am not sure what he is saying but it sounds a lot like the words that I use.






I have also mastered tummy time. I love to be on my tummy and can roll over to play with my toys. I love my toys...especially my Baby Einstein radio that lights up. It always calms me down when I get a little crabby. The orange jungle gym that makes obnoxious noises is another favorite. I tug on it with my strong arms and flex my muscles for the ladies;)

The Davila Family's First Christmas

The holdiay's were a blast with mommy and daddy. We played dress up and had our first Christmas together as a family. All of my doggies bought me gifts and came inside to celebrate.

Christmas Fun for Dante.....and Daddy!

Holidays were fun...Next year I can actually celebrate with everyone! Daddy had fun dressing me in a Santa suit...it was a little too big=> I liked posing with Santa too....This one looks a little strange. The one I posed with him Danville could breath....this one doesn't seem to have a nose! He brought me lots of goodies anyhow so he must have heard my wishes.

My cousins love me and I love them!
