It was a week of celebrations - two parties and many special dinners - to mark the
first year of Carlo. It is hard to believe that last year at this time
we were camped out in the hospital with a little bundle of baby who spent most of
his days sleeping. There are still more hours of sleep than play but only
by few, and the little bundle is now 28lbs. and 32 inches long
(12.7 kilos and 81 centimeters).

Better than parties, we had visits from both Carlo's abuela and his grandmother.
Carlo loved the extra attention, and is awaiting their next visits.
