Two Months Old

Mommy is going to write the blog today! Phew...I think she will do them from now on. I don't know who had the bright idea to have a newborn write a blog.

Juliana turned 2 months yesterday. She had a check-up at the doctor today and other than getting a few unwanted shots, she did really well. She weighs 10lbs, 6 ounces and is nice and healthy and strong. The doctor even said she can fly now...maybe Joe will get the hint and take us on vacation. :-)

Here are a few different pictures from the past few days.

Sleeping with her Best Buddy Oreo!

Last night we took Juliana to her first Met Game! It was hot at first but once the sun went down it was much more tolerable. She ended up sleeping most of the game but woke up towards the end a little. Too bad Santana forgot how to pitch and gave up 6 runs in the first inning. They tied it up eventually but then lost in 13 innings.

We got to see Beltran hit his first homerun after coming back from his surgery and also found Juliana's brick outside the stadium. I think we might have turned Cousin Maddie into a Met fan after last night!

Google Picnic/Summer Fun!

This past week, I took my first trip outside of NY! We drove almost three hours (there was a ton of traffic) to Hidden Valley Ski Resort in New Jersey for the Google summer picnic. That green bracelet I have on is what I needed to get into the picnic! It was so big it only fit on my thigh.

At the picnic, there were a bunch of different activities going on and a lot of Googlers and their families there! There was a lake with fishing, canoeing and paddle boats, basketball, soccer, frisbee, tennis, a rock climbing wall, Orbs (see photo), a mechanical bull, dunk tank and much more! There was a ton of great food and even an Good Humor Ice Cream truck where you could get anything you want for free! I think Daddy really enjoyed that part. Mommy liked the grilled pizza that had truffle oil, parmesan cheese and honey on it....she couldn't stop talking about how yummy it was.

On our way home, we were going to pick up Oreo at the Needham's house but they were out to dinner. When we drove by the house, this is what we saw....Oreo is very silly! He looks like a statue. I don't think he is supposed to be sitting there.


On Friday almost the whole family spent time snuggling on the couch...poor Daddy was doing work on his computer and couldn't join us.



Today we all went to the pool to try and stay cool during this crazy heat wave we are having. I took a nap by the pool and then did some floating on a raft with Daddy. It was a fun day, but now I am ready for bed! Thanks Grandma Noc for taking good care of me today while Mommy was being lazy in the pool!

Surprise!!! x 3

My weeks seem to be moving along rather quickly now that I am getting older. I have been sleeping a lot...I guess that means I am growing. At night I get a bath, drink a bottle and read a book with Mommy at 9pm and then I sleep all the way until 4am! I think Mommy likes when I sleep that long.


My week has been full of Surprise Parties! First, we went to a Graduation and Welcome Home Party for Mommy's friend Emal. He was doing his fellowship (he's a pain doctor) in Indiana for a year and he recently came home. All of Mommy's high school friends, their husbands and kids were there for me to play with.


At the end of the week, I got to go to 2 surprise birthday parties.


The first party was for my Uncle Mike. Boy he is really old! When he got to the party (he was out getting a massage prior to the party), there were only a few people there (Aunt Janine and Uncle Eddie Espo, Mommy and Grandma Noc). Uncle Mike was confused why we were there but then his friends started to come and he realized it was a party for his Birthday!




Last night, we all went to a 30th Birthday Party for Uncle Danny Sforzo! He lives in CA now and was visiting for a few days. It was fun to get to see all of Mommy's cousins...it was the first time I was meeting most of them. Before we went to the party, Cousin Maddie came over my house to get ready. She got a bath, ate some carrots and got dressed here. Boy she is really loud and crawls around a lot. She kept waking me up from my nap...but that's okay, I like playing with her.

Forth of July Fun!

Things have been a little busy my way these days. I have gone to lots of barbecues, had lots of visitors and even got to go in Grandpa Noc's pool for the first time. Grandma and Grandpa Cat, Aunt Michelle, Genellen and Dave, Janine and Eddie, Gina and Rich and The Needhams all stopped by...oh boy I am sure there are more, but it is hard to remember everyone! Uncle Tom Armstrong came to visit me for a few days too! Here are some pictures from my fun adventures.

On July 4, we went to Daddy's office in the city to watch some fireworks over the Hudson River. Daddy was very proud to show Uncle Tom his whole place before the show started. The ferris wheel we are standing by actually moves and is made out of knex (whatever those are)! From one of the Googler's offices, we were able to see the whole show and we were able to listen to the music on someone's laptop. It was a really good show and I can't wait to go back next year!


The next day, we went to a barbecue at Grandma and Grandpa Noc's house. This is where I got to go swimming with cousin Maddie and Oreo (although he really doesn't like it that much). It was just like my bath, but much bigger! The outfits Maddie and I have on are from Aunt Deborah and Uncle Sal!



On the last day Uncle Tom was here, we went back to the city to a big museum. We saw an IMAX show about the Hubble Satellite and the spaceships and then we saw Dinosaurs! I pretty much slept the whole time. Mommy says even the spaceship taking off during the movie didn't wake me up! After the museum, we drove to Astoria and had dinner with Uncle Jason. It was my first time meeting him and he was fun!

At the end of the week, we stopped by Aunt Laura and Uncle Andy's apartment and I met Gracie Louise. It seemed strange though because they didn't have any furniture and there was a really BIG truck in front of there house. Then I realized that they are moving and everyone was there to help them pack up! It was sad to say goodbye to them but I think we are going to go visit them at the end of the summer in their new home. That will be fun!
