On July 2nd Vincenzo had his first taste of "food" (brown rice cereal). Although most of it ended up on his face and bib he appeared to be interested enough to keep trying. The next day he took one full spoonful without spitting any out! Which would have been more exciting if he would have taken ANY more than that. We are currently working on a feeding routine and hope to introduce apple sauce and sweet potatoes soon.

Auntie Anna and Cousin Sonja came to Seattle for a few days and Vincenzo and Mummy had the privilege of spending the afternoon at Alki Beach with them. Sonja was very interested in checking out Enzo's belly, ears, feet and then showing hers. It was really a wonderful day.

On the Fourth of July Vincenzo, Daddy and Mummy visited Grandma & Grandpa Noson. Enzo was in fairly good spirits and sat with Grandma for quite a while, showing off standing and giggling.
Auntie Kate sure knows how to woo Vincenzo. (We think her secret is whispering in Italian, but we cannot be sure.)
When Sonja, Auntie Anna and Auntie Kate arrived on the Fourth of July Sonja was asleep in the car. She decided to join us right before Enzo and Family had to leave for bedtime. She very much enjoys getting her picture taken by Daddy (Uncle Alen to her).
She was also very interested in Enzo while he sat in his car seat and tried a few times to teach him about feet and sharing toys with his cousin. ************************
Uncle Dominic, Grandpa David, Mummy and Vincenzo got to go to the Okanogan Highlands for the wedding of Daven Henze and Elena Hartoonian. The wedding occurred at Daven's parents (Walter and Sarah - Mummy/Petra's God Parents) beautiful home where Petra spent many winter and summer vacations as a younger woman. These two pictures from Roger Rosenblatt's photos which may be found at Roger Rosenblatt’s Photo Gallery: Daven & Elena's Wedding in addition to all the rest of his pictures. The rest of the pictures from this weekend were taken with Mummy & Daddy's camera by various photographers.
This is Andre the 10 month old guest who Vincenzo found to be a good friend (at least the staring contests seemed to point to friendship).
The handsome groom and his parents.
The lovely and beautiful bride with her parents

Vincenzo has been growing leaps and bounds. Although his 6-month birthday isn't until tomorrow and his 6-month check up isn't until the 26th we estimate he has grown another two inches and gained another two pounds (27+ inches long and around 18 pounds). He is now the "master" of rolling over and shifting his position on the floor to see things and grab toys. This means Mummy and Daddy are starting to work out childproofing, knowing that crawling can only be around the corner.
Another striking change for Enzo is a major increase in hair both in volume and length. His hair is now curling and sticking up in all directions (we love it). In addition to these changes his little bald patch at the back of his head has diminished and begun to grow peach-fuzz in the middle.
We hope to keep everyone posted as regularly as we can about Vincenzo's developments and recent pictures. Feel free to comment and even make requests as to information you are curious about or pictures you would like to see. We will accommodate as we are able.
We hope all of you are enjoying the summer!
