The 30th of August?  Really?  I have to write more often...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, as you know, Massimo is supposed to arrive December 3rd. However, this big boy is almost ready. In fact, the doctor told us that he will be here by November 17th. Why? In part because Selena is already 2 cm dilated. Then... Massimo already weighs 6 lbs 10 oz. So, we're getting ready. Yesterday I put together Massimo's crib (he's going to sleep in the study) and we've bought diapers, formula, bottle brushes, etc. etc. etc. We're &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;almost &lt;/span&gt;ready... almost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255); font-style: italic;"&gt;Che disgraziato!  30 Agosto?

Devo scrivere piu' spesso...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;Allora, come sapete, Massimo dovrebbe arrivare il 3 Dicembre. Purtroppo, questo bambino e' quasi pronto. Infatti, la dottoressa ci ha detto che arrivera' prima del 17 Novembre. Perche? In parte perche' Selena e gia' dilatata due centimetri. Poi... Massimo gia' pesa 3 kilogrammi. Allora, ci stiamo preparando. Ieri abbiamo costruito il lettino di Massimo (dormira' nello studio) e abbiamo comprato pannolini, latte formulato, spazzoline per i biberon, etc. etc. etc. Siamo quasi&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;pronti... &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;quasi&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Photos from October - &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;Foto da Ottobre &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/SvOmGiRvTMI/AAAAAAAAB48/BaV-Uv4r-lU/s1600-h/DSC02275.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/SvOmGiRvTMI/AAAAAAAAB48/BaV-Uv4r-lU/s320/DSC02275.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400843009357991106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/SvOmF_3z-ZI/AAAAAAAAB4s/ykKQZk-sUqs/s1600-h/DSC02218.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/SvOmF_3z-ZI/AAAAAAAAB4s/ykKQZk-sUqs/s320/DSC02218.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400843000122440082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/SvOmGKw4MnI/AAAAAAAAB40/08Wbo-IjYj0/s1600-h/DSC02267.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/SvOmGKw4MnI/AAAAAAAAB40/08Wbo-IjYj0/s320/DSC02267.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400843003046146674" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/SvOmG4yuwuI/AAAAAAAAB5E/uLYoeNw_gnM/s1600-h/IMG_0004.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/SvOmG4yuwuI/AAAAAAAAB5E/uLYoeNw_gnM/s320/IMG_0004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400843015401947874" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div id="refHTML"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-7645740273719293982?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/7645740273719293982/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=7645740273719293982' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/7645740273719293982'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/7645740273719293982'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2009/11/latest-news-novita.html' title='Latest News - Novita&apos;'/><author><name>The Travel Addict</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06743908173507557637</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/SvOmGiRvTMI/AAAAAAAAB48/BaV-Uv4r-lU/s72-c/DSC02275.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231837946407499646.post-3229218381667973560</id><published>2009-08-30T19:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-30T19:50:56.613-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Speaking with Lorenzo - Parlando con Lorenzo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I like that I can have little conversations with Lorenzo.  Tonight, after dinner, I asked Lorenzo what he did Sunday morning while we were at church (our church offers day care for the congregation).  He looked at me and answered "crayons".  He's starting to understand past tense questions and you can see that he understands quite a bit and can say a sentence of 2-3 words.  He repeats everything and speaks in Italian and English.  In the meantime, our second son keeps kicking Selena... maybe he'll play for Juventus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Mi piace che posso avere piccole conversazioni con Lorenzo.  Stasera, do&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;po cena, ho chiesto a Lorenzo che aveva fatto Domenica mattina mentre eravamo a chiesa (la nostra chiesa offre un asilo per la congregazione).  Mi ha guardato e ha risposto "crayons" o colori... Lentamente, si vede che capisce parecchio e incomincia a dire frasi di 2-3 parole.  Ripete tutto e parla in Italiano e Inglese.  Nel frattempo, il secondo figlio continua a dare calci a Selena... forse giochera' per Juventus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;This afternoon, a snack of fruit at Starbucks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;Questo pomeriggio, merenda di frutta a Starbucks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/Sps6M7WaePI/AAAAAAAAB30/ZnXOWDxjm88/s1600-h/IMAGE_070.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/Sps6M7WaePI/AAAAAAAAB30/ZnXOWDxjm88/s320/IMAGE_070.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375954573961361650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;!--Session data--&gt;&lt;input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;div id="refHTML"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-3229218381667973560?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/3229218381667973560/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=3229218381667973560' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/3229218381667973560'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/3229218381667973560'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2009/08/speaking-with-lorenzo-parlando-con.html' title='Speaking with Lorenzo - Parlando con Lorenzo'/><author><name>The Travel Addict</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06743908173507557637</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/Sps6M7WaePI/AAAAAAAAB30/ZnXOWDxjm88/s72-c/IMAGE_070.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231837946407499646.post-7588628321088301220</id><published>2009-08-19T20:22:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-19T20:26:15.656-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Full of Pride!

All in all, he probably spilled a few gallons of milk but he was good, even if he would occasionally spit out mouthfuls of milk everywhere.  He had a nice plate of fish, asparagus and roasted fennel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;Stasera abbiamo deciso di insegnare a Lorenzo come si usa un bicchiere per bere latte.

Lorenzo sta' per camminare - pensiamo che ci riesce ma non lascia le nostre mani.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="visibility:visible;"&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-30.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://widget-30.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf"&gt;&lt;param name="quality" value="high"&gt;&lt;param name="scale" value="noscale"&gt;&lt;param name="salign" value="l"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt; &lt;param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&amp;amp;il=1&amp;amp;channel=648518346377782832&amp;amp;site=widget-30.slide.com"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;p style="white-space:nowrap"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&amp;amp;at=un&amp;amp;id=648518346377782832&amp;amp;map=1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-30.slide.com/p1/648518346377782832/ms_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&amp;amp;at=un&amp;amp;id=648518346377782832&amp;amp;map=2" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-30.slide.com/p2/648518346377782832/ms_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&amp;amp;at=un&amp;amp;id=648518346377782832&amp;amp;map=F" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-30.slide.com/p4/648518346377782832/ms_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-1502245640783569287?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/1502245640783569287/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=1502245640783569287' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/1502245640783569287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/1502245640783569287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2008/11/busy-weekend-un-fine-settimana-occupato.html' title='A Busy Weekend - Un Fine Settimana Occupato'/><author><name>The Travel Addict</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06743908173507557637</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231837946407499646.post-6915262895407701748</id><published>2008-10-26T13:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-26T13:46:05.154-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What's Lorenzo Doing?

This Saturday, we hosted a little football party with family and a few friends. Lorenzo had a great time with his little friends and, for the first time, tasted cake. Yum!  Even Zio Dimitri celebrated his birthday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;Grazie al uragano eravamo costretti ad aspettare due settimane prima di celebrare il primo compleanno di Lorenzo. Questo Sabato, abbiamo festeggiato con famiglia e vari amici con una partita di "football". Lorenzo si e' divertito con i suoi piccoli amici e, per la prima volta, ha assaggiato torta.  Anche zio Dimitri ha festeggiato il compleanno&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/SOl4pN4oGaI/AAAAAAAABGQ/W61dFmXWcFY/s1600-h/DSC00147.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/SOl4pN4oGaI/AAAAAAAABGQ/W61dFmXWcFY/s320/DSC00147.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253863089801533858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/SOl4pXqD0jI/AAAAAAAABGY/NVKnPy_gCHs/s1600-h/DSC00148.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/SOl4pXqD0jI/AAAAAAAABGY/NVKnPy_gCHs/s320/DSC00148.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253863092424790578" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Here are a few pictures from the party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Ecco varie foto dalla festa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="visibility:visible;"&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-dd.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://widget-dd.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf"&gt;&lt;param name="quality" value="high"&gt;&lt;param name="scale" value="noscale"&gt;&lt;param name="salign" value="l"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt; &lt;param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&amp;amp;il=1&amp;amp;channel=648518346375977693&amp;amp;site=widget-dd.slide.com"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;p style="white-space:nowrap"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&amp;amp;at=un&amp;amp;id=648518346375977693&amp;amp;map=1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-dd.slide.com/p1/648518346375977693/ms_t013_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&amp;amp;at=un&amp;amp;id=648518346375977693&amp;amp;map=2" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-dd.slide.com/p2/648518346375977693/ms_t013_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&amp;amp;at=un&amp;amp;id=648518346375977693&amp;amp;map=F" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-dd.slide.com/p4/648518346375977693/ms_t013_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-4684011676091635014?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/4684011676091635014/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=4684011676091635014' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/4684011676091635014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/4684011676091635014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2008/10/celebrating-festeggiando.html' title='Celebrating!!!

Ma dove sono:?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Wow... it's been over two weeks since I've written any news.  It seemed like each time I would think of writing an entry, I would later forget.  Am I losing my mind?  Well, now I'll write something.  I can tell you that Lorenzo turned 10 months old and he weighs over 22 lbs, maybe a bit more.  He's at least 30 inches long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next month, we'll be removing the helmet.  Is his head perfect?  No... but it's better.  He has blonde hair that hides the flattest part of his noggin'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His meals are becoming a bit difficult.  Sometimes, he'll eat everything with his hands... he's able to eat little bits of chicken, fish, beef, cheese and various vegetables.  He's really good.  Today he had pieces of cherry and mango for snacktime and cod and asparagus for dinner.  Other times, he doesn't want to eat... if you try to put some food near his mouth, he blocks the spoon with his hand and whines.  Each meal is different and you never know how he will react.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some July photos...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Che fetente... sono piu' di due settimane che non vi ho scritto qualche novita'.  Mi pare che ogni volta che pensavo di scrivere, mi dimenticavo.  Sono rimbambito?  Allora, adesso vi scrivo qualcosa.  Vi posso dire che Lorenzo ha compiuto 10 mesi e pesa almeno 10 kili, forse qualche centina di grammi in piu'.  E' lungo almeno 72 cm.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Prossimo mese leviamo il casco.  E' perfetta la testa?  No... pero' e' migliorata.  Lorenzo ha i capelli biondini che nascondono la parte piu' piatta della testa.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;I suoi pasti sono diventati un po' difficili.  Certe volte mangia tutto con le mani... riesce a mangiare bocconcini di pollo, pesce, manzo, formaggio e vari vegetali.  E' proprio bravo.  Oggi ha mangiato pezzetini di cigliege e mango per merenda e per cena ha mangiato un po' di pesce e qualche bocconcino di asparagi.  Altre volte, non vuole mangiare... se cerchi di mettere qualcosa vicino a la sua bocca, blocca il cucchiaio con la mano e fa' capricci.

He weighed 19 lbs, 8 oz and was 27 inches long... about 75 or 80 percent larger than other boys. The pediatrician said that Lorenzo can eat just about the same food we eat - pureed or smashed and gradually (each food has to be introduced every three days. Gradual is key). The other day, he tried broccoli, carrots and cauliflower. He likes carrots... the cauliflower and broccoli? Well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weekend, we went out to the country to Round Top, a small town known for it's international antiques fair with over a thousand dealers... a massive festival. We stayed with friends of the family in their bed and breakfast - we had a great time and Lorenzo was very happy. As you'll see, he was full of laughs and smiles...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66cccc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Prima che vi racconto com'e' andato questo fine settimana, vi devo dire che Lorenzo e' tornato dal pediatra per il suo appuntamento di sei mesi. Pesava 8.85 kg ed era lungo 68 1/2 cm... verso 75 o 80 percento piu' grande dei altri maschi. Il pediatra ha detto che Lorenzo puo' mangiare quasi quasi il stesso cibo che mangiamo noi - frullato o schiacciato e in moderazione (ogni cibo si puo' introdurre ogni tre giorni). L'altro giorno ha provato broccoli, carote e cavolfiore. Gli piacciono le carote... il cavolfiore e broccoli? Ma'...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Questo fine settimana siamo andati in campagna a Round Top, un piccolissimo villaggio noto per una feria internazionale di antiquarati con piu' di mille rivenditori... e' una feria immensa. Stiamo stati con amici di famiglia in la loro pensione - ci siamo divertiti e Lorenzo era molto contento. Come vedrete, era pieno di risate e sorrisi...&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66cccc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="visibility:visible;"&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-8f.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://widget-8f.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /&gt;&lt;param name="quality" value="high" /&gt;&lt;param name="scale" value="noscale" /&gt;&lt;param name="salign" value="l" /&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"/&gt;

This past month Lorenzo flew for the first time and he used his passport in Mexico, he "swam" for the first time (and had a fun time), he started using a high chair like a big boy and today even drank from a cup for the first time. He's a big goofball that always laughs. He sits on his own and like playing with his toys - his favorite animal is a little French giraffe named Francois - he chews on it any time its in his hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next week he'll be returning to the pediatrician. He just visited another doctor to check his head and it looks like he'll start wearing a helmet during the first days of May. He'll wear the helmet for two to four months, after which his head will be nice and round.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Sei mesi... caspita!? Questo mese Lorenzo ha volato per la prima volta ed ha usato il suo passaporto in Messico, ha "nuotato" per la prima volta (e si e' divertito), ha incominciato ad usare un seggiolone e oggi ha bevuto da un bicchiere per la prima volta. E' un grande fessachiotto che sempre ride. Sta' seduto e gioca con i suoi giocattoli - il suo pupazzetto preferito e una piccola giraffa Francese che si chiama Francois - Lorenzo la rosicchia ogni volta che la tiene in mano. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt; Prossima settimana tornera' dal pediatra. Ha appena visitato un'altro dottore per controllare la testa e pare che incominciera' ad adossare un casco nei primi giorni di Maggio. Adossera' il casco per due o quattro mesi ma, dopo che ha finito, la testa sara' bella rotonda. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R-HTgN9dVHI/AAAAAAAAA2k/e0UHMpMynKw/s1600-h/IMG_6227.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

In part, it's because Lorenzo joined us on a trip to Mexico - his first trip. It was a trial trip before his big trip to Buenos Aires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to Huatulco, an area a small bays in the south of Mexico - give or take, about 400 miles southeast of Acapulco - near Guatemala. The water was gorgeous (brimming with amazing fish) and the beaches were perfect. Lorenzo was very happy - he traveled well (without screaming during the flights), he ate normally and slept as if he was at home. It was just about a perfect trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;So che e' qualche giorno (piu' di una settimana) che ho scritto qualcosa sul blog di Lorenzo. In parte e' perche Lorenzo ci ha accompagnato a Messico - il suo primo viaggio. Era una prova prima che partiamo per Buenos Aires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Siamo andati a Huatulco, una zona di piccole baie nel sud di Messico - piu' o meno 650 km sudest da Acapulco e vicino a Guatemala. L'acqua era bellissima (strapiena di pesci spettacolari) e le spiaggie perfette. Lorenzo era molto contento - ha viaggiato bene (senza strillare durante i voli), ha mangiato normalmente e dormiva come se fosse a casa. Quasi quasi era un viaggio perfetto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R9nxpskJtjI/AAAAAAAAA2M/9Cl3GN3BArA/s1600-h/DSC00490.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

He can sit up by himself for a few seconds... sometimes, when he slumps forward, he can straighten himself.  He did it for the first time a week ago when we went to a park.  It was a splendid day and we decided to lay down for a while in the shade since we were around the corner from the Menil.  Unfortunately, after a while, Lorenzo started getting fussy since it was naptime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;Lorenzo sta' crescendo e si puo' sedere da solo per qualche secondo... certe volte, quando incomincia a cadere, si puo' riadrizzare.  L'ha fatto per la prima volta una settimana fa' quando siamo andati a un parco.  Era una giornata splendida ed avevamo deciso di sdraiarci per qualche momento nell'ombra.  Purtroppo dopo un po', Lorenzo aveva sonno perche era tempo per il suo pisolino. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R8oaTarI2qI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/UHlOG38Ccec/s1600-h/DSC00446.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R8oaTarI2qI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/UHlOG38Ccec/s320/DSC00446.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172976042868529826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R8oa4arI2rI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/kgDA79Zd09E/s1600-h/DSC00449.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R8oa4arI2rI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/kgDA79Zd09E/s320/DSC00449.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172976678523689650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R8ocuarI2vI/AAAAAAAAA00/-58kp8SPDas/s1600-h/DSC00454.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R8ocuarI2vI/AAAAAAAAA00/-58kp8SPDas/s320/DSC00454.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172978705748253426" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R8ocZKrI2uI/AAAAAAAAA0s/1GKxZJeU1i8/s1600-h/DSC00460.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R8ocZKrI2uI/AAAAAAAAA0s/1GKxZJeU1i8/s320/DSC00460.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172978340676033250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R8obZarI2sI/AAAAAAAAA0g/ljv5HvzfG3M/s1600-h/DSC00457.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R8obZarI2sI/AAAAAAAAA0g/ljv5HvzfG3M/s320/DSC00457.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172977245459372738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-6524384249400058163?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/6524384249400058163/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=6524384249400058163' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/6524384249400058163'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/6524384249400058163'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2008/03/hes-sitting-sta-seduto.html' title='He&apos;s Sitting!

He's starting to grab for everything that he sees - plates on the table, little toys and even bottles of water (he thinks they're his bottle of formula).  A few days ago, he tried to drink from a water bottle (it was empty) and earlier in the week he wanted Selena's coffee (as I already wrote).  With a bit of help, he can stand up - this little film shows Lorenzo practicing with Selena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;Questo Mercoledi', Lorenzo ha compiuto cinque mesi.  Adesso cerca di prendere tutto quello che vede - piatti sul tavolo, giocattoli e anche bottiglie d'acqua (crede che sono i suoi biberon). Qualche giorno fa' ha cercato di bere da una bottiglia d'acqua (era vuota) e l'latro giorno ha voluto il caffe' di Selena (come vi ho gia' scritto).

Da quello che mi ha detto Selena, si sono divertiti.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="visibility:visible;"&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-5b.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://widget-5b.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf"&gt;&lt;param name="quality" value="high"&gt;&lt;param name="scale" value="noscale"&gt;&lt;param name="salign" value="l"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt; &lt;param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&amp;amp;il=1&amp;amp;channel=648518346368324699&amp;amp;site=widget-5b.slide.com"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&amp;amp;at=0&amp;amp;id=648518346368324699&amp;amp;map=1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-5b.slide.com/p1/648518346368324699/ms_t056_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&amp;amp;at=0&amp;amp;id=648518346368324699&amp;amp;map=2" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-5b.slide.com/p2/648518346368324699/ms_t056_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-8693609212865316548?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/8693609212865316548/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=8693609212865316548' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/8693609212865316548'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/8693609212865316548'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2008/02/lorenzos-friends-gli-amici-di-lorenzo.html' title='Lorenzo&apos;s Friends - Gli amici di Lorenzo'/><author><name>The Travel Addict</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06743908173507557637</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231837946407499646.post-8078022174002525944</id><published>2008-01-26T19:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-26T20:02:10.269-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Lorenzo's First Solids - La Prima Pappa di Lorenzo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;object height="245" width="297"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NPKA1RhMKvo&amp;amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;Today Lorenzo ate solides for the first time - rice cereal mixed with a bit of formula.  It was obvious that he didn't know what to do and the first time we tried the cereal, he wasn't very happy.  This movie is from the second try.  It seemed like if he chewed on the spoon a bit, he was calmer and ate a little bit of cereal.  It will be a few days before he really eats well.  It was hard filming him while giving him a spoonful of cereal - mommy was much better at it.&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="245" width="297"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="245" width="297"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Oggi Lorenzo ha mangiato la pappa per la prima volta - cereale di riso mescolato con un po' di latte formulato.  Era obvio che non sapeva che fare e la prima volta che abbiamo provato il cereale, non era molto contento.  Questo filmino e dalla seconda prova.  Ci pareva che se ciucciava il cucchiaino, era piu' tranquillo e mangiava un pochino di cereale.  Sara' qualche giorno prima che mangiera' bene.    Era difficile filmarlo mentre gli davo un cucchiao di cereale - mamma era molto piu' brava.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="245" width="297"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NPKA1RhMKvo&amp;amp;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-8078022174002525944?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/8078022174002525944/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=8078022174002525944' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/8078022174002525944'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/8078022174002525944'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2008/01/lorenzos-first-solids-la-prima-pappa-di.html' title='Lorenzo&apos;s First Solids - La Prima Pappa di Lorenzo'/><author><name>The Travel Addict</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06743908173507557637</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231837946407499646.post-3800730123359297251</id><published>2008-01-24T18:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T11:06:11.334-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Lorenzo's Latest News - Novita' di Lorenzo</title><content type='html'>What news do we have about Lorenzo?  Well, he finally rolled over from his stomach to his back.  He did it today and he did it three times.  Finally!  We were starting to wonder.  And, we're finding out he's ticklish - Selena found out while changing him and he can laugh and laugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh... and we can't recommend enough &lt;a href="http://www.brettchisholm.com/index.html"&gt;Brett Chisholm Photography&lt;/a&gt; for portraits.  He took our family portraits last week and did a fantastic job.  Lorenzo behaved really well.  Here are three of our favorites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Che notizie abbiamo di Lorenzo?  Be', si e' finalmente rotolato dallo stomaco alla schiena - l'ha fatto oggi e l'ha fatto tre volte.    Poi Selena ha scoperto che Lorenzo ha solletico sotto le ascelle.  Certe volte ride e ride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finalmente!  &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Qualche giorno fa', siamo andati da &lt;a href="http://www.brettchisholm.com/index.html"&gt;un fotografo&lt;/a&gt; per scattare varie foto della famiglia.

He weighed 16 lbs, 12 oz (84th percentile) and was 25 1/2 inches long (70th percentile).  Since he eats only four times a day (a real blessing - 8 oz a feeding) and he sleeps well, the pediatrician said we can start feeding him rice cereal - a bit ahead of the curve.  We'll start once our camcorder arrives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Allora, oggi siamo tornati dal pediatra per le immunizazioni di Lorenzo.  Pesava 7,6 kg (piu' grande di 84 percento degli altri bambini) ed era lungo 64,8 cm (piu' lungo di 70 percento degli altri bambini).  Siccome mangia solo quattro volte al giorno (una beatudine - 236 ml con ogni pasto) e dorme bene, il pediatra ci ha detto che puo' incominciare a mangiare cereali di riso.  Incomincieremo quando arriva la nuonva cinepresa.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-3203462764282221280?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/3203462764282221280/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=3203462764282221280' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/3203462764282221280'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/3203462764282221280'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2008/01/four-month-check-up.html' title='Four Month Check-Up'/><author><name>The Travel Addict</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06743908173507557637</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231837946407499646.post-5725451802035583894</id><published>2008-01-20T18:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T11:06:11.527-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Baby Update'/><title type='text'>Quattro Mesi - Four Months</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R5QHDb2mVbI/AAAAAAAAAxY/V6DNrC_u0Hc/s1600-h/DSC00428.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R5QHDb2mVbI/AAAAAAAAAxY/V6DNrC_u0Hc/s320/DSC00428.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157755228843824562" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It's the 20th of January and Lorenzo is four months old.  He'll be heading to the pediatrician tomorrow for his four month shots and a check-up.  We partly celebrated by taking a little trip - a weekend at a resort near Austin.  He traveled really well - in fact, he mostly slept both there and back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hotel, The Lost Pines Resort, is out in the country and located on the banks of the Colorado River.  It's very peaceful although there is a lot to do.    We pretty much decided to do a whole lotta nothing.  In fact, we enjoyed the chance to just hang out, play with Lorenzo and just take it easy.  We ate well while there and walked around quite a bit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorenzo didn't sleep well - we think it's because he was in an unfamiliar place.  You could see it in his eyes.  He probably would've been fine with a few days to get acclimated.  At least he was pretty happy when he was awake.    Let's say this trip was practice before our big Argentina trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;E' il 20 Gennaio e Lorenzo ha appena compiuto 4 mesi.  Domani tornera' dal pediatra per qualche immunizazione.  In parte, abbiamo celebrato con un piccolo viaggio - un fine settimana a un albergo vicino a Austin, quasi 200 km da Houston.  Lorenzo ha viaggiato benissimo - in fatti, ha dormito duranta l'andata e il ritorno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'albergo, il Lost Pines Resort (i Pini Perduti o i Pini Scomparsi), e nella campagna e accanto a il fiume Colorado.  E' molto tranquillo e c'e' tanto da fare, anche se noi abbiamo deciso di fare un sacco di niente.  In fatti, abbiamo goduto l'opportunita di ciondolare, giocare con Lorenzo e stare tranquilli.  Abbiamo mangiato bene e camminato spesso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorenzo non aveva dormito bene ma ci pare perche era un posto strano.  Forse sarebbe stato piu' comodo dopo qualche giorno pero' non aveva tempo di abituarsi.  Almeno era abbastanza contento quando era sveglio.  Diciamo che questo viaggio era in preparazione per Argentina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="visibility:visible;"&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-a3.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://widget-a3.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf"&gt;&lt;param name="quality" value="high"&gt;&lt;param name="scale" value="noscale"&gt;&lt;param name="salign" value="l"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt; &lt;param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&amp;amp;il=1&amp;amp;channel=648518346368201891&amp;amp;site=widget-a3.slide.com"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&amp;amp;ad=0&amp;amp;id=648518346368201891&amp;amp;map=1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-a3.slide.com/p1/648518346368201891/ms_t000_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&amp;amp;ad=0&amp;amp;id=648518346368201891&amp;amp;map=2" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-a3.slide.com/p2/648518346368201891/ms_t000_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-5725451802035583894?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/5725451802035583894/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=5725451802035583894' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/5725451802035583894'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/5725451802035583894'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2008/01/quattro-mesi-four-months.html' title='Quattro Mesi - Four Months'/><author><name>The Travel Addict</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06743908173507557637</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R5QHDb2mVbI/AAAAAAAAAxY/V6DNrC_u0Hc/s72-c/DSC00428.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231837946407499646.post-7064967476324020919</id><published>2008-01-16T15:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T11:06:12.492-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Much to Do - Tanto da Fare</title><content type='html'>It's only Wednesday and it's already been a busy week for Lorenzo. Monday, Selena took Lorenzo do a play group with other babies from church. All of the babies were very young - Lorenzo was the youngest wile the oldest was only five months old. Lorenzo apparently had a good time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday we went to a specialist to check out Lorenzo's head. It looks like we'll have to go back in March to talk about a helmet. If he has to wear one, he'll have to do so for a couple of months. It's not a severe case but it has to be fixed - what can you do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday Lorenzo gave us a surprising little gift - he slept from nine o'clock at night until nearly six o'clock in the morning. Nine hours! What joy! It must be the gargantuan bottles of formula that he takes - now only four times a day. He actually made it until eight o'clock until he ate. He's really getting there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight my parents came over to watch Lorenzo while we had date night. My mom played with Lorenzo for a couple hours and now he's sleeping. A good night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;E' solo Mercoledi ed e' gia stata una settimana piena di attivita' per Lorenzo. Lunedi', Selena ha portato Lorenzo alla casa di una amica per giocare con altri bambini che conosciamo a chiesa. Tutti i bambini erano giovanissimi - Lorenzo era il piu' giovane e il piu' grande aveva solo cinque mesi. Lorenzo si e' divertito.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Martedi' siamo andati dal un'altro dottore per controllare la testa di Lorenzo. Pare che dovremo tornare in Marzo per discutere un casco. Se deve adossare un casco, dovra' averlo per qualche mese. Non e' grave ma si deve aggiustare - che si puo fare?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Poi ieri sera Lorenzo ci ha regalato una bella sorpresa - ha dormito dalle nove di sera fino a quasi le sei di mattina. Nove ore! Che gioa! Adesso mangia solo quattro volte al giorno e beve dei biberon immensi di latte formulato. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Stasera i nonni sono passati per guardare Lorenzo mentre siamo andati a cena. Nonna ha giocato con Lorenzo per quasi due ore e adesso sta dormendo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R47klL2mVXI/AAAAAAAAAw0/scikvHYiCgQ/s1600-h/DSC00395.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R47klL2mVXI/AAAAAAAAAw0/scikvHYiCgQ/s320/DSC00395.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156309950873884018" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R47kwL2mVYI/AAAAAAAAAw8/oM1cx5--wqQ/s1600-h/DSC00397.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R47kwL2mVYI/AAAAAAAAAw8/oM1cx5--wqQ/s320/DSC00397.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156310139852445058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R47k7r2mVZI/AAAAAAAAAxE/beMMp5XugdE/s1600-h/DSC00398.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R47k7r2mVZI/AAAAAAAAAxE/beMMp5XugdE/s320/DSC00398.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156310337420940690" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R47lKL2mVaI/AAAAAAAAAxM/6OrfcHbPxr8/s1600-h/DSC00401.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R47lKL2mVaI/AAAAAAAAAxM/6OrfcHbPxr8/s320/DSC00401.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156310586529043874" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-7064967476324020919?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/7064967476324020919/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=7064967476324020919' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/7064967476324020919'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/7064967476324020919'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2008/01/much-to-do-tanto-da-fare.html' title='Much to Do -

Un bel giorno per una passeggiata</title><content type='html'>Next Sunday Lorenzo will turn four months old.  Each day, he keeps learning - he can pretty much put his pacifier in his mouth and he's able to grab small toys and teething rings.  He can keep his head up high without any problem and can even control it when we fly around playing "superman".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today Lorenzo went with us to Memorial Park for a nice long walk - Selena would run while I would walk with Lorenzo and then we would swap out - I would run and she would walk with the stroller.  The weather was marvelous and there were a ton of people out running, walking and just soaking up the sun.  This week we'll take Lorenzo to another doctor to check out his flat head.  The possibility exists that he'll have to wear a helmet for two months.  Better to fix it now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorenzo decided he's going to play football for the Horns.  Here he is in his warm-up suit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Prossima Domenica Lorenzo compiera' quattro mesi.  Continua ad imparare - quasi quasi puo' mettere il ciuccio in bocca e riesce a prendere piccoli giocattoli o anelli.  Puo' tenere la testa in alto e riesce a controllarla anche quando vola mentre giochiamo "superman".  &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oggi Lorenzo ci ha accompagnato al parco per una bella passeggiata lunga - Selena correva mentre io camminavo con il passeggino - poi io sono andato a correre mentre Selena camminava con il passeggino.  Il tempo era meraviglioso  e c'era un sacco di gente che correva, camminava e godeva il sole.  Questa settimana porteremo Lorenzo da un'altro dottore per controllare la sua testa (la parte piatta).  Esiste la possibilita' che dovra adossare un casco per due mesi.  Meglio aggiustarla adesso...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Lorenzo ha deciso di diventare un giocatore di football.

Lorenzo continues to grow and eat like a champ.  Lately, he's settled down to 5 feedings a day - much better than the old days when we had to feed him 8 or 9 times a day.  He'll usually eat 6 oz. a feeding although today he had an 8 oz. feeding and a 7.25 oz. feeding.  Wow!?  Good news is that his feedings are nice and quick since he's using a size 3 nipple.  Uhm, yeah... that's what 6 month old babies use.  Otherwise, nothing groundbreaking right now although he drools like crazy... he'll work on his hands for a while and they'll be covered with slobber.  Baby or little Golden retriever?  Either way, he's a cutie, drooly or not.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-4925612015267510383?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/4925612015267510383/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=4925612015267510383' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/4925612015267510383'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/4925612015267510383'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2008/01/give-me-some-food-and-let-me-drool-it.html' title='Give me some food and let me drool it out'/><author><name>The Travel Addict</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06743908173507557637</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231837946407499646.post-2948317491495335752</id><published>2008-01-03T08:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T11:06:14.990-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The New Year - Il Capo D'Anno</title><content type='html'>My apologies as these photos should have been posted a few days ago... photos from New Year's Eve (at Gio and Allison's) and New Year's Day (at the zoo). Lorenzo did really well on the 31st and we had a good time until 9:30 before heading home. It was cold on the 1st but the weather was beautiful so we took Lorenzo to the zoo for the first time. He stayed bundled up in his stroller while we walked around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Vi chiedo scusa perche dovevo mettere queste foto qualche giorno fa'... sono fotografie dal 31 Dicembre (da Giovanni e Allison) e il 1 Gennaio (dallo zoo). Lorenzo era ben comportato il 31 e ci siamo divertiti fino alle 21:30 - poi siamo tornati a casa. Il 1 Gennaio faceva freddo ma il tempo era bellissimo e abbiamo deciso di portare Lorenzo allo zoo per la prima volta. Lui e' rimasto ben imbottito nel passeggino.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Celebrating the New Year&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Celebrando&lt;/span&gt;

I can't quite explain everything that took place but essentially they were testing fluid in his kidneys to see if he had reflux... they did this with a catheder in his penis - poor kid! He was pretty livid and he cried his head off... it was no fun. Fortunately, everything looked fine and maybe the kidney problem has disappeared. We'll head back in March for an ultrasound and maybe, just maybe, we can close the chapter on the kidney story. Let's hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Lorenzo ha avuto una mattina molto stressante... l'abbiamo accompagnato al Texas Children's Hospital (un ospedale per bambini) per controllare i suoi reni. Non posso spiegare tutto che hanno fatto ma hanno controllato il fluido nei reni mettendo un tubo nel pipino - poverino. Era abbastanza furioso e piangeva... caspita quanto piangeva. Per fortuna, sembra che tutto e' normale e forse i problema con i reni e scomparso. Torneremo in Marzo per un'altro ultrasuono e forse questa storia dei reni sara' finita.

Anyone had any success? Last night, for example, he went 7 hours between feedings after his bedtime feeding and then 5 hours... not bad. Now, if we can only get that long stretch to coincide with our sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Mamma mia... indovina chi ha cresciuto piu' di 5 cm in un mese. Questo bambino sta' crescendo e adesso pesa 6,75 kg ed e' lungo 63,5 cm. Tutte le misure sono piu di 80% degli altri bambini. Non e' necessario allenare con i pesi con questo gigante.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R2dWUb2mUrI/AAAAAAAAArQ/pk1xiS0o0Uk/s1600-h/DSC00317.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R2dWUb2mUrI/AAAAAAAAArQ/pk1xiS0o0Uk/s320/DSC00317.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145176008368214706" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Lorenzo joined us at church for the first time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Lorenzo ci ha accompagnato a chiesa per la prima volta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R2dWoL2mUsI/AAAAAAAAArY/RxirF0VpksY/s1600-h/DSC00315.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R2dWoL2mUsI/AAAAAAAAArY/RxirF0VpksY/s320/DSC00315.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145176347670631106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Playing with aunt Vanessa and his cousin, Abbilyn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;Giocando con zia Vanessa e la sua cugina, Abbilyn&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R2dW7L2mUuI/AAAAAAAAAro/3qTg3SK7cEk/s1600-h/IMG_5621.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R2dW7L2mUuI/AAAAAAAAAro/3qTg3SK7cEk/s320/IMG_5621.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145176674088145634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Lorenzo and Piccina - how cute!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;Lorenzo e Piccina - che carini!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R2dWwr2mUtI/AAAAAAAAArg/5jyOsevgAH8/s1600-h/IMG_5617.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NYalxZdiH_U/R2dWwr2mUtI/AAAAAAAAArg/5jyOsevgAH8/s320/IMG_5617.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145176493699519186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Our little king in his throne&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Il piccolo re' nel suo trono&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-5686483047556416868?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/5686483047556416868/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=5686483047556416868' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/5686483047556416868'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/5686483047556416868'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2007/12/growing-growing-crescendo-crescendo.html' title='Growing Growing...

We're going to have to be careful with his head as he has a flat spot on the right hand-side... we'll have to use positioners in the daytime.  He'll go back to the pediatrician in December to check his head and he'll also visit the urologist to check out his kidneys. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Oggi Lorenzo e' tornato dal pediatra per le sue immunizzazioni (era abbastanza arrabbiato... forse un po' furioso).  Continua a crescere come una piccola erbaccia - pesa 5.67 chilogrammi ed e' lungo 58.4 cm.  Dovremo stare piu' attenti con la sua testa perche la parte posteriore alla destra e' un po' piatta.

You might recall that while Selena was pregnant, the doctors noticed his kidneys were dilated.  He wasn't too thrilled with the whole process but, for the most part, the main reason he was upset was because he was hungry.  This week we'll find out if he's doing better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a fun note, Lorenzo seems to be starting to smile... and it's not because of gas or because he's filling up his diaper.  Each day he seems to "wake up" a little more... it's fun to watch him make his little developmental leaps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh... and for our English-speaking readers, a few notes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Huggies are not good diapers.  I'd say that they leak 50% of the time.  Maybe the issue is user error but if anyone wants about 100 free size 1 Huggies diapers, just let us know.  Oh yeah... and we have about 50 or so N size Pampers since our "little one" outgrew them.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A few thoughts on baby clothing.  Gymboree makes really good clothes... we like them although they do tend to be very "character-specific" (always have a cute penguin, donkey, crab, sheep, doggie, etc.).  Their inventory turns over quickly and goes through sales so skip the clothing at regular retail price and go straight for the clearance racks.  Carter's sells good quality basics, too, and their clothes often go on sale.  Great place to find basic onesies, sleepers, etc., often at 50% off prices.  Old Navy makes cute and reasonable priced stuff but it tends to run small whereas Gymborees tends to run large.  Gap Baby, on the other hand, is a bit pricey (wait for stuff to go on sale) but it's good quality and soft clothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Ieri pomeriggio abbiamo portato Lorenzo da Texas Children's Hospital (un ospedale che specializza in bambini) per un ultrasuono sui reni.  Come vi avevamo detto, quando Selena era incinta, i dottori avevano notato che i suoi reni erano dilatati.  Lorenzo non gli piaceva il ultrasuono pero' direi che, piu' di tutto, era piu' arrabbiato perche aveva fame.  Questa settimana scopriremo se i reni sono normali ho se sono ancora dilatati.  &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Una bella novita'... sta' incominciado a sorridere... ed e' chiaro che non sta' sorridendo perche deve fare popo' o ha una puzzetta.  Ogni giorno, Lorenzo si "sveglia" un pochino di piu'.  E' divertente osservare i modi in cui sviluppa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-3639112657953784148?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/3639112657953784148/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=3639112657953784148' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/3639112657953784148'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/3639112657953784148'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2007/11/little-bit-of-everything-un-po-di-tutto.html' title='A little bit of everything...

And therefore yesterday, after lunch, we stopped in a little park to enjoy a beautiful day while Lorenzo ate.  As you'll see, this little film is both in Italian and English.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Abbiamo scoperto che quando un piccolo bambino ha fame... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;ha fame&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;... e spesso e' impossibile soddisfarlo senza la sua pappa.

Chi lo sapeva?</title><content type='html'>Each day there's a new revelation... we noticed that it's nearly impossible to watch a DVD without being interrupted by Lorenzo's screams.  Fifteen minutes?   Maybe... but we're always interrupted.  The problem might be trying to watch them during the evening - maybe it would be easier during the day when Lorenzo is a little calmer (the hours between 5:00 and 11:00 are a bit crazy!?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also found out that we use a ton of products&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;38 oz cans of infant formula don't last&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We feel like we're using a dozen diapers and 30-40 Pampers wipes each day&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Soap... who would've expected it but, yes, we use gallons of soap to clean his bottles&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;And to use the soap, we use special brushes to clean the bottles... after 1-2 weeks, they fall apart.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Then there's detergent... we wash and wash his clothes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;But once we play with Lorenzo and see that he's enjoying himself everything... absolutely everything makes it worthwhile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;Ogni giorni c'e' una nuova rivelazione... abbiamo notato che e' quasi impossibile guardare un DVD senza essere interrotti dagli gridi di Lorenzo.  Quindici minuti?  Forse... ma siamo sempre interrotti.  Il problemo puo' essere tentare di guardargli durante la sera - forse e' piu' facile durante il giorno quando Lorenzo e' un po' piu' calmo (le ore dalle 17:00 alle 23:00 sono un po' pazzesche!?).  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;Abbiamo anco scoperto che usiamo un sacco di prodotti...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;I barattoli di latte formulato (1.078 kg) non durano.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ci pare che stiamo usando una dozzina di pannolini e trenta o quaranta salviettine di Pampers ogni giorno.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sapone... chi lo aspettava ma, si, usiamo galloni di sapone pulendo tutti i biberon&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;E per usare il sapone, usiamo delle spazzole particolari che dopo una o due settimane, cascano a pezzi&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Poi c'e' detersivo... laviamo e laviamo i suoi vestiti. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;Pero' quando giochiamo con Lorenzo e si vede che si diverte, tutto... assolutamente tutto vale la pena.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-2644617789646701860?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/2644617789646701860/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=2644617789646701860' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/2644617789646701860'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/2644617789646701860'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2007/10/who-knew-chi-lo-sapeva.html' title='Who knew?

Autunno e' Arrivato!</title><content type='html'>Just around the corner from our neighborhood is a Methodist church known for hosting an annual pumpkin patch. Since the weather was so perfect (if you live in Houston, you know what we mean), we decided to meet up with Vanessa and Abbilyn for some pictures. Well... Lorenzo decided he didn't want anything to do with the paparazzi... rather than hamming it up for the cameras, he decided to cry (or sleep). Oh well... we'll go back this weekend. At least we got a few shots...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;Due passi dal nostro quartiere c'e' una chiesa Metodista che e' nota per avere un "pumpkin patch"... un campo pieno di zucche che si comprano come decorazioni per autunno o per Halloween. Siccome il tempo era cosi' stupendo (temperature perfette!), abbiamo deciso di incontrare Vanessa e Abbilyn per qualche foto. Be... Lorenzo ha deciso che non aveva tempo per i paparazzi... invece di sorridere, he deciso di piangere (o dor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;mire). E va bene... ritorneremo questo fine settimana.

He's also 21.5 inches long (although the nurse first measured him at 22 inches - 68 percent - so I'm not sure which is &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;really&lt;/span&gt; correct).  Anyway, that's right at the 50th percentile.  I found &lt;a href="http://www.mybirthcare.com/favorites/babygrowthchart.asp"&gt;a web page&lt;/a&gt; that allows you register and then keep track of growth long-term.    Not too heavy considering that the other day he drank 29.5 oz of formula.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Va bene... allora Lorenzo pesa 4.63 kg... piu' grande di 67 percento di altri bambini Americani.  E' anche 54.6 centimetri (pero' la prima volta che la infermiera lo ha misurato era 55.9 cm - 68 percento - ... non siamo sicuri quale e' la misura corretta)... proprio a 50 percento.   Ho anche trovato &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);" href="http://www.mybirthcare.com/favorites/babygrowthchart.asp"&gt;un sito&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt; dove uno puo' registrate tutti i dettagli ogni mese.  Molto comodo.  Non e' troppo pesanto considerando che l'altro giorno ha bevuto piu' di 870 ml di latte formulato.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-6531693013215067246?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/6531693013215067246/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=6531693013215067246' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/6531693013215067246'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/6531693013215067246'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2007/10/here-are-details-ecco-i-dettagli.html' title='Here are the details - Ecco i dettagli'/><author><name>The Travel Addict</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06743908173507557637</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231837946407499646.post-8315951184945976045</id><published>2007-10-19T09:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-19T09:30:00.566-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fun Stuff'/><title type='text'>How much does he weigh? - Quanto pesa?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.dole5aday.com/Kids/Friends/Images/character_final/Patrick_Potato.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 129px; height: 182px;" src="http://www.dole5aday.com/Kids/Friends/Images/character_final/Patrick_Potato.gif" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Today the pediatrician is going to weigh Lorenzo... who wants to guess what he's going to weigh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Oggi il pediatra pesera' Lorenzo... chi vuole indovinare quanto pesa?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-8315951184945976045?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/8315951184945976045/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=8315951184945976045' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/8315951184945976045'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/8315951184945976045'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2007/10/how-much-does-he-weigh-quanto-pesa.html' title='How much does he weigh? - Quanto pesa?'/><author><name>The Travel Addict</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06743908173507557637</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231837946407499646.post-2046364893945027018</id><published>2007-10-18T15:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-18T15:58:06.963-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Family Update'/><title type='text'>Vanessa and Abbilyn Have Arrived - Sono arrivate Vanessa e Abbilyn</title><content type='html'>Aunt Vanessa and Abbilyn, Lorenzo's cousin, arrived earlier this afternoon.

If we're lucky, Lorenzo will sleep until 1:30... four hours.  Let's hope for the best.  Each evening is different... sometimes, he cries after he eats and we don't have any time to taste a little bite of dinner.  Other evenings he's calmer and it's possible for us to eat and relax.  I have a feeling that tonight is going to be a bit difficult... Thank God tomorrow is Sunday!  Tomorrow morning I'll go to church to say hello to our friends while Selena stays with Lorenzo.  I think we'll change roles next week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Sone le 21:30 e stiamo seduti in una camera da letto scura... Selena e' seduta con Lorenzo che succhia al suo biberon mentre io scrivo questa entrata.  Se siamo fortunati, Lorenzo dormira' fino a 1:30... quattre ore.  Speriamo bene.  Ogni sera e' diversa... certe volte piange dopo che mangia e noi non abbiamo tempo di assaggiare piu' di un bocconcino di cena.  Altre sere e' piu tranquillo ed e' possibile mangiare e rilassare.  Mi pare che stanotte sara' un po' difficile... Grazie a Dio che domani e' Domenica.  Domani mattina andro' a chiesa per salutare i nostri amici mentre Selena sta' con Lorenzo.  Penso che prossima settimana lei andra' ed io staro' a casa.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231837946407499646-9122124621981558814?l=bigboybrichford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/feeds/9122124621981558814/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8231837946407499646&amp;postID=9122124621981558814' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/9122124621981558814'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231837946407499646/posts/default/9122124621981558814'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigboybrichford.blogspot.com/2007/10/you-never-know-non-si-sa-mai.html' title='You never know...
