"If you'd come to me in friendship, this scum who ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day. And if by some chance an honest man like yourself made enemies they would become my enemies. And then, they would fear you."



In this picture, he is looking over the new guy who just walked in to the Italian Restaurant. He is thinking: "Is a this a guy I can a trust?"



This is Isaac in the Witness Protection Program. These are the last people you'd think would have a web site, right?



FBI Most Wanted: Isaac "Cheeks" Sculimbrene



Here he is talking with this hands, like all good Italians. He is saying: "If a he gets in a my way, a wack him."

Clemenza as a child:



And finally:

Tony Soprano

and

Isaac Anthony:



He is saying here: "Whadda are you freakin' a talkin' about?"

Next photo retrospective: Milk Mustaches through the Weeks.

So yesterday Mr. Poo Poos decided to sleep in a little. He woke up at 6:30 for his first feeding and then promptly went back to bed, as he usually does, before starting his day in earnest at 9:00. Unfortunately, he was still asleep at 9:30. So what do new parents do when waiting for their little one to wake up? Look at pictures of him. We browsed the pictures on Flickr, which is really cool, especially if you select the slideshow option. He has really changed a lot. Funny thing is his cheeks seemed to pop into existence over night.

This picture was taken July 2nd:



This picture was taken July 3rd:



It was like one day he is Paul Newman in his prime, the next he was Brando from the Godfather.

Well, after figuring that out, we were about ready to go crazy. I was really chomping at the bit because it was delaying our reading of Green Eggs and Ham and Hop on Pop. Anyway, we decided to open his door to see if the ambient noise of the house would wake him up. Nothing. So we tiptoed in and decided to watch the little booger sleeping. It included the line all new mothers say when their kid is still sleeping: "Can you go in and check if he is still breathing?" I did and of course he was not just breathing, but baby snoring. Having made my way into his room, I got this footage with Mommy present as well. Enjoy, we sure did:



Also we uploaded some new pictures to Flickr. I am posting this picture just so people know that we don't have a stunt baby come in and take only cute pictures of Isaac. This is Isaac's first ever picture taken with a flash and he totally lost it. He was crazy excited and even lunged at the camera, as you can see here:



Actually, here is a cute one from the same photo op (and yes, he is looking at his Mommy, she is the only one that consistently elicits such admiration and adoration):

Isaac Anthony is TWO MONTHS old! It is amazing. In two months Bianca and I's life has changed completely...and it has been awesome. So what do you do for your second month birthday? Go swimming. Yup, Isaac took a dip in the pool, with the help of Dad. Mom caught it on camera. But before we get to the video, first we have a shot of the big man in his big boy diapers, Swimmies or in corporate speak: Little Swimmers (how original):



Its like he knows something big is about to happen.

And here is the video (my love handles and all):



Did you catch the What About Bob quote in there? "I'm sailing..."

Oh, and just because he was fantastic today (literally, I cannot remember him crying for more than about two minutes), here is a shot taken by Dad while Isaac was working out in his gym (how you doin' ladies? He told me to write that):



Look at those big eyes searching around for new things to look at and stuff to do.

We also have noticed that Isaac is starting to move his hands with a bit (and I mean a bit) more purpose. We have the tracking objects stuff down pat and neck control is coming along fine. Hands and feet are next and we are so excited.

I think that is the thing that is so remarkable. In two months we went from baby blob to cooing, moving, looking, babbling, laughing, drag racing, pommel horse, and swimming. It is truly the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life. This boy is endlessly fascinating.

Auntie Monica, he is really excited to meet both you and Uncle Rob. He has a smile just for you. It is accompanied by a big poop, but hey you take 'em as they come.
