Baby, I'm Back!

At Mommy's Work Picnic on 8/6 & Making New Fuzzy Friends at the Mall

Hi Everybody!!! Sorry for my long hiatus, but I have been a very busy little guy! I hope you understand! Anyway, I'd first like to announce a MAJOR accomplishment...I am now walking! Actually, I started walking about a week and a half ago...and I've been getting better everyday! So far I am really good on flat surfaces, but sometimes hills and even grass can be a challenge. But no worries, I'll be a professional by the end of the month! So what's been going on with me...hmmmm...I had my 1 year doctor's appointment and the doctor says that I am really tall for my age, cause I am 33 inches long...and even my feet are really big too. I am wearing a size 5W - can you believe it? I've also been spending time at the shore working on my swimming techniques and my tan (kidding! I wear 60 SPF everyday!)...and I've also had a lot of events and play dates with my friends Danny, Riley, Luca and lots of other friends I've made at the park. In fact, yesterday, I ran into my friend Mateo and we played soccer with the big kids. It was so much fun and I got sooooo dirty! And even today I went to the Virgin Mobile Family Picnic...tons of fun too! And they had really tasty cheeseburgers and fries! Yum! I even got to take a cool picture as Harry Potter - which I've attached for you below. I could totally be in the movies!

George Michael Comes to NYC

This is a temporary takeover of Zack's blog...sorry kid! Given the awe and intrigue (:-) ) surrounding our attendance at yesterday's SMASHING George Michael concert...attached are the pics and videos you eagerly demanded to see! Overall, Anthony, Shari and I had a TERRIFIC time! The place was packed and George was especially charming and witty! And in case you're wondering, George's voice is like fine wine...it's just gotten better with age. Absolutely pristine! And of course, the performance was stellar, especially when he doned his policeman uniform. Now that was CRAZY HOT!!!! Enjoy! Ger

The Most Amazing Cake Ever - Thanks Aunt Emily!!!

Hello My Friends! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! Well today was my big birthday party, and all of my closest friends and family came over! It was sooooooo exciting and so much fun! My pals Evan, Gavin, Danny & Caroline, as well as my cousins Willow & Nikita, all joined me for some birthday fun! We sang songs, danced around and crawled all over and had so much fun doing it! We had tons of food and I got to sample all kinds of new tasty things. I even tried a burger! Best of all, I got to eat cake! An not just any cake...my own custom made, hand-crafted cake by awesome Aunt Emily...featuring, yep you guessed it, #95 Lightning McQueen from my favorite movie, Cars. It was the most beautiful cake ever and I'll never forget it! In fact, my whole party was race car themed! We had lots of racing flags and pennants, and of course, tons of balloons too! It really looked wonderful...so I have to hand it to Mommy, Daddy, Nammy, Bee-Bop, Aunt Emily and Cousin Karen for making my day so special. But I also want to give all my guests a special thank you for braving the nasty traffic today and traveling from all over NJ to celebrate with me. I really appreciate it! You guys rock! Love Zack:-)

Happy 1st Birthday!!!!

I'm One Today!

My big day finally arrived today! I turned one year old today!!!! And to make sure that I did not miss it, I woke up especially early this morning and had Mommy & Daddy sing Happy Birthday to me! It was awesome! Just like my own personal rock concert! Anyway, I had the best day ever today...Let me tell you all about it! First, I got to go for a big walk in my stroller... then I went to the playground and went head first down the slide...swoosh! Tons of fun there, but it totally wore me out...so after that I took a really BIG nap, for like two and a half hours...Then after I woke up, I had a delicious lunch of turkey meatballs and brocolli and apple sauce for desert! Yum!!! Nammy then gave me one of my presents - a very cool activity box that I totally LOVE playing with...Then after that, Mommy and Daddy gave me two more big presents...A super cool bike trailer and an awesome helmet! I helped them set it up and then we went for a ride to the beach and around the island...I just sat back and chilled out while Daddy did all the work wheeling me around! Soooooo cool! After we got back home, I took a lovely bath to freshen up for dinner. After we finished eating, Mommy pulled out a big tray of special vanilla cup cakes for me...they were decorated with white frosting and featured Lightning McQuenn - from my favorite movie Cars! However, she made me where a birthday hat which I did not really care for...and I let her know it! Let me tell you though, I found out that I LOVE cupcakes! I can eat them up all by myself...and licking the frosting from my fingers rocks! Well, after that, my evening was over and I headed to bed with my milky-baba and called it a night! Mommy & Daddy, thanks for the best 1st Birthday ever! I love you a bunch!!!

Yep folks, I did it! I am now officially one whole year old! Can you believe it! I know I keep reminising about being in Mommy's belly, but it seems like just yesterday I was in there! Now, a year later I can say that I am so much more experienced! I know how to do so many things, like play with my toys, blow kisses, crawl around, say Mamma and Daddee, clap, play pickaboo, feed myself, and a bunch of other cool stuff! Thank goodness Mommy helped me keep this diary so that I can remember all of my milestones! Its really special to me! Anyway, I thought you'd like this photo retrospective...from day one to day 365! Enjoy!!!!
