Some of Ramon's favorite sounds

Ramon has some favorite sounds that make him smile. And some sounds that make him look curious:).

Some of Ramon's favorite sounds from Raymond Velez on Vimeo.

talented

ramon is extremely talented. he has learned to make friends by sticking out his tongue.

he can bring toys and blankets to his mouth for licking and chomping. he has two teeth on the bottom but they are camera shy so far.


ever since grand momster introduced his mouth to his toes he has been obsessed. we still have to bring them to his mouth for him but now he can grab them!

yay! new kitchen!

kitchen renovations are done. when we went to richmond to see mia when she was born we came back to a kitchen that looked like this...


then when cabinets and counters were installed...


more lived in photos to come....with orange dishes and orange bar stools :)

Total nerd

Yes, poor Ramon's mommy is a total nerd. This probably doesn't surprise anyone reading this but here is the latest proof of my nerdiness. I discovered this cool site for tracking sleep, nursing, diapers and such....and the kicker is I am UPDATING it :).

Realbirth Class Reunion

I made it out to my first official mommy gathering on April 28...a reunion with our childbirth class cohort. Ramon soaked it all up and enjoyed staring at other mommies...not too into babies yet. He took a nap and ate and cooed and we all chatted about mommyhood. I found out how to feed in the baby bjorn which I tried later in Inwood Hill Park and at the Northface Endurance Challenge. It works but is not terribly discreet :).

Ramon, Emmett and Henry got to lay next to each other and flail into each others appendages. Ramon is the youngest in this group of big boys. Henry was born 2/11, Emmett (fire hydrant shirt) 1/20.

Ramon in da jungle

Ramon is starting to enjoy his jungle gym. I upgraded my Vimeo account, so you can get HD viewing pleasure:). You might need to wait for the video to buffer before viewing, but that's normal online video stuff.

Ramon's First Easter

Ramon made it out to Jersey for the first time today to visit the Costagliola's for Easter. He had a great time, lots of smiling and lots of fun. Zio Bartolo even showed us a new way to hold Ramon that he seemed to enjoy. Mom and baby had fun wearing their easter bunny ears:). Check out the resemblance...

but they were a little small for her:)
