This was a great week with Leo--he is starting to give us his first smiles! They are still somewhat erratic and we haven't caught one on camera yet, but we'll keep trying. Its so gratifying to see that smile and know that Leo is aware and happy.
Other fun stuff this week: Leo and I have started taking daily walks and/or errands to get out of the house and enjoy the very fine September weather we've been having. We went to a small neighborhood park on Friday where Leo encountered several firsts including a puppy, laying in the grass on a blanket, and staring up at a giant oak tree. These all brought smiles and lots of arm and leg waving.
Leo also received a very nice gift this week from our friends the Owens in California. They sent a very loveable first doll and the book Goodnight Gorilla, which is one of cousin Rachel's favorites. We are very happy to have our own copy for Leo to enjoy.
New photos soon!

That's great news about Leo's first smiles. Thought you were going to tell us that he was watching the Republicans make fools of themselves on TV!
Grandma and Grandpa Napolitano want to come out and see him very much, but Grandma has to wait until Sept. 30 to get her broken ankle looked at. If she can help drive a little, we are toying with the idea of taking a couple of weeks off and driving out there, maybe stopping off in Kansas City, MO to look up an old friend of hers.
