Refreshment.

Enjoying some of mom and dad's shake. It is so good.

Loving the water on a hot day. We are in Acacia Park down town.

I know I look cool, you don't have to keep telling me.

rescued

Yesterday we went to a park and found two boys trying to rescue a bird. He was stuck under a shingle on the bathroom pavilioun. We had to get our car under it so that we could reach it. It had a rope tied around its leg and it got caught on the roof. We got the rope off and it flew away. The 2 boys were so cute and saw the bird rescued. It was kind of fun. There was another bird that flew in and out of our scene and was trying to protect it at one point. Cornel was definately the boys hero for the day.

fun at the park

We walked around Manituo and had fun at a park today.
Here are some pictures that we took.

I love Mama and Dada

I like eating. Mama and Dada feed me good.


Naked baby pictures

One of my dad's favorites. I love it when Mama kisses me.

Just waking up and getting changed. It feels good to get a new diaper on.

My eyes are straight!

Well on June 24, Cornel had eye muscle surgery to correct his lazy eye. After a week, his eyes look better, still a little red. This was his biggest risk yet in his life he said. I was just happy that after surgery he could see me with one of his eyes, the other one being covered. Click on this picture to make it bigger. Both eyes, not just one, are straight now. It looks really good! His eye is still hurting him now, but it will get better, and we are going to the doctor on July 9 for a followup. It was a busy weeks last week.

Yesterday

Well, we have all been waiting for this moment.....and all wanted to see it happen when she was still 1 year old....and so yesterday....she walked by herself....2 steps.....and will not do it again. We had some friends over and while Corneliu, Marianna, and myself were finishing eating, Stephanie called from the other room "she did it!" It is hard because I did not see the first ones and neither did Corneliu. 17-1/2 months and she finally walks =-). She beat her cousin who was fastly catching up. Sorry that I do not have a picture. Stephanie was walking with her and let her hand go and before Cassandra noticed, she had made 2 steps. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yeah for Cassandra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

smiles

Out on the porch posing for daddy.

I don't know what this is about, there are no pictures. Cassandra loves books and will sit in her room and take out all of her books from her basket and be content to look at them, and rip a few pages. She also likes mommy's books. The pages are fun to fan.

A cute picture.

She used to pull out all of the books from the bookshelf. I am glad I don't have to clean up that mess any more.

flowers

Well, what would summer be without flowers? We tried real ones this year and hopefully they will stand up to the winds and rains and heat. I think that Cassandra likes them a lot. She was looking at them while I fed her her bottle this morning (Cornel worked on them last night when she was in bed) and throughout the day. She wants to tough them and probably would eat them, if I wasn't careful. She ate sand at the park the other day, I got most of it out though. Well anyways, these are some pictures.

recent pictures

My friend from highschool, Alie, came over with her 2 boys a week or so ago. The first picture has her first son in it in the back. Also, this walker is helping Cassandra gain confidence in her walking. I hope that it will be any time now. In the second picture, Cassandra is enthralled with Alie's baby. She likes little ones.

Now here Cassandra is showing off her new sunglasses (which are too big) and hat. She keeps both on now. She is also busy reading Mama's book. She loves books. We are having a lot of fun with her. She is a little model.
