Some of the Vincenzo milestones that we passed while in London:

• Rolling over from back to front: This seems to be Enzo's favorite thing to do. He now insists on rolling over every time we put him down. This is making it harder to change him and put him down on anything but the floor, but we are finding extremely enjoyable to watch him flip over all the time.
• Grabbing toys and other items (and usually putting them his mouth): Vincenzo has finally gotten the hang of his eye-hand coordination and is grabbing at everything he can. His favorite toys include a frog-rattle, any wash-cloth, any shirt him may be wearing and whatever swaddling blanket he happens to be wrapped in.
• Teething: Enzo has OFFICIALLY started teething. He is cutting one tooth on the lower left, but we suspect there is another one we cannot feel on the lower right. Although this is causing a lot of drool Vincenzo is taking it like a champ and hasn't really caused major changes in his behavior.
