A couple fun things...

Vinnie is now getting into and out of sitting! I know to some it seems like nothing and I don't even think I noticed when Rudy did this but it's a nice step forward for Vinnie. So celebration is in order.

My birthday is Friday. Karen (my sister) called and asked what we were doing. "Just staying home maybe a pizza" I said. Her "what about cake?". Me "I just want CookiePus". Cookiepus is an ice cream cake that I had at my birthdays when I was younger, Carvel made it. Carvel has since gone HUGE and mostly just has stuff in grocery stores. But NO, my wonderful sister looked it up on-line and found one in Avon, Connecticut. So Friday I am so excited to see CookiePus!!

I missed a birthday post!

Rudy turned 3 on December 27th! Happy Birthday love bug.

You have become such a wonderful little man. This past year has been filled with so many exciting things. You learned to use the potty, graduated to a big boy bed, became a big brother (an amazing one at that!). And there were sad things too, the passing of your great grandfather and of a cousin that we never got to meet. Your vocabulary is, well...maybe we should get you some earmuffs! You actually JUST told me "you're freakin me out" and many times while driving "GO LADY!" (obviously from your daddy...wink wink). You make me smile all day long without even trying!! I can't wait to see what this next year brings
