Hawaii

Hi All,

Here are just the photos from Hawaii...so many good ones to choose from!

Summer Lovin'

Hi All,

Summer sure has flown by and the Balduzzi family has been VERY busy. I started a new part time job with the Rocky Mountain Nature Association and I love it! I am currently working on several cool projects that involve kids and I get to spend more time with my own:) We have taken several trips this summer, one to Syracuse to visit the grandparents, and one to Hawaii for a wedding and some fun at the beach. Leo did really well with all his plane rides and even earned a pair of wings. I have attached a few photos from our summer fun. Please enjoy!

Hi All,

So...long time no post. I appologize, but life has been hectic. Since my last blog we have visited relatives in Ohio, had relatives from Syracuse visit, and I have chosen to take a break from teaching as I pursue more time with my little one! I know, crazy...but anyhow...life is good and Leo is into everything these days. He has started to turn around in circles on his knees but no crawling yet. I think we have a tooth popping up AND he is eating some solid food. 6 months has gone by so fast and every day is a new adventure. Check out these new photos...and yes, I promise to blog more often from now on!

14 weeks

Hi everyone,

It has been a few weeks since the last blog. I have officially gone back to work, and yes, it was hard the first week. I shed a few tears...but all in all, it has been good for all 3 of us (Mike, Leo, and I) to have a little change of pace. Daddy is now the "stay at home mom" and is doing really well with Leo. They have been spending their days roughousing...basically just being boys! Leo is really bonding with dad, and now when I come home he is just that much more excited to see me. He is growing quickly and doing new things every day. His hand is now his favorite toy...and everything is finding its way into his mouth. We even tried to touch our toes this morning. The only thing that really makes us angry is tummy time...but we're woriking on it! Take care, and enjoy these latest photos!

Hi all,

Since my last blog Leo and I have been busy working on cooing, babbling, and making razzy sounds with our tongue (oh the job of a 3 month old). We have enjoyed our last weeks together as I will be going back to teaching tomorrow. Yes, I am very sad to be leaving him, but he is in good hands with daddy. Mike is taking off 6 weeks to bond with Leo and become a stay at home dad for awhile. We hope you enjoy these most recent photos.... Leo has been getting a few presents here and there...new clothes, a new "chair" with play tray, and a few more toys. Enjoy!

2 months old

Hi all,

Last blog I had mentioned that I would be having surgery...all went very well, and hopefully I will be back to all my old activities very soon. Other than that not much has happened in our world. Leo got to visit my classroom and meet all the first graders...he was a little overwhelmed! They loved him though and I have had to promise to bring him in for another visit before the school year is over. He is still as cute as ever and really loves to have his picture taken. I have included a few "ham" shots of him and his friends. He has also had his first shower with dad this week...Mike didn't drop him, and he didn't cry (much) which means it was a big success. Enjoy the photos and keep checking for new ones!

Lots has happened since the last post. Mike's aunt and my mom came into town because I had surgery this week. It was a cardiac ablation surgery to correct a funky rhythm in my heart. It was scary, but everything went well after they found a nurse who could start an IV properly (yikes!) needless to say it was a hectic week! Leo did a few new things such as grabbing his keys (and staring intently at them) and he has finally taken more of an interest in books. He even helped mom turn the pages as she read about colors to him! He is still as sweet as ever....smiling more and more. It is hard to believe I have to go back to work in 3 weeks. I am going to miss spending so much time with him, but his daddy will be at home to entertain him and keep him company. Next week we are going to visit my classroom to see the kids and hang out with teachers. We will post more then!
