Thanksgiving

Carmine is just beginning to smile and we got some great pictures of it during his first Thanksgiving! While we couldn't be with the Spetch/Mader/Bryan clans this year because of Carmine's age, we spent the day with the Rizzo clan. Momma Rizzo made turkey just for me; I ordered kringle to have on Thanksgiving morning; and we did do a little black Friday shopping at Kohl's and Sears. No Olive Garden for lunch, but we did have pizza for dinner!!

No really good picture of the "First Thanksgiving" bib...this was the best one.

Lots of smiles and faces!!!

By the end of Thanksgiving, Carmine was completely worn out. That didn't stop him from staying up all night though! Luckily, both Friday and Saturday night he slept much better (3 hours straight!!!)

One Month Old

The first month with Carmine went by really fast!! He is finally starting to gain some weight, so he is looking more like a chunk, and you can't feel his ribs under his skin without hitting some fat. We had many visitors over the month, but we also started getting into a routine once Rick went back to work. Now, if only he would sleep between 10pm and 2am!

Nose to Nose!!

What a face!

Asleep on the MamaRoo!

One Month Old! Still not too big, but definitely getting bigger!

Welcome to Carmine Alexander Rizzo!

I know most have probably seen these pictures, but I wanted to share them just in case! Carmine is officially back up to his birth weight, so hopefully we can keep him growing!!

The morning of October 17th. We needed a belly shot!

After the craziness of the delivery, Carmine is here!!! Let the sleepless nights begin!

Still my favorite picture. Every time his brow furrows, I can't help but love him more!

Three generations of Rizzo men! Rick, Carmine, and Carmine together at home!
