3 + 1 = 4

I know, it's been a while, the New Year to be exact. But I have good reason...

Morning Sickness, running after a toddler, playing nurse to Nick, more nausea, taking Massi to gym class, traveling for work, night sickness!

For those that don't know, we are expecting!! There will be a new addition to the Leone family this coming August. We are so excited and feel so blessed to have a second child on the way. Here's a sweet snapshot of baby Leone waving and me at 13 weeks.

*note to moms of baby #1: belly comes early with baby #2

Besides, trying to get through a very challenging 1st trimester, we have been enjoying chilly weather in SoCal and lovin' on one other. I've been traveling like crazy for work; SanFran, Chicago, Seattle. It was nice to have ME time while away, but I swear as Massimo get's older, you don't want to miss a darn thing. He really lights us up everyday (more on Massi later)!

We heard some great news from Nick's back doctor last week, he is 90% fused and should be at 100% by April 1st! Hallelujah! He has really turned the corner these last few weeks, and it's exciting to see him feeling better, playing with Massimo, and ready to tackle the world. He's been working hard and preparing for success in 2010!

Oh, Massimo, Massimo... what can I saw about our little man. I read a friend's blog the other day and she listed all the things her 2 year old daughter loves to do... I thought I'd give it a try. It's a nice way for everyone to see what our little man is doing, thinking, and exploring.

What I love to do, by Massimo Leone...

Waking up in mommy & daddy's bed, watching Yo Gabba Gabba until I'm blue in the face, spilling my morning bowl of cheerios all over the floor and then picking them up, throwing tennis balls w/daddy, going for long walks outside w/Elsa, playing in the sand, eating my daily grilled cheese nice and slowly, hitting mommy on the nose and laughing, skyping with Juju, playing my piano, picking up the phone and trying to call everyone, helping to blow out the candle, eating lots of lollipops, dancing & singing 24/7, and lastly taking a "tub-a-roni" (that's a bath in adult language).

So, what's on deck for March... we have Juju coming the very first week to celebrate her birthday with us, we are bursting with excitement. We will also be getting ready for the entire family to come for Easter in early April! Oh, we just can't wait to have the whole gang here.

Here are some photos from our Valentine's Day weekend, we stayed local and enjoyed some very warm weather for a change.
