Hunger Strike

Raphael is showing off his French side by having already developed a discriminating palate. He has decided that he doesn't like the taste of formula. However, he does like teasing Charles.
Once I went back to work, Raphael decided that he was going on a hunger strike. Fortunately, he was a very smiley striker.

Raffaele in Venezia

We went to Venice for the weekend to visit Tanja, Alvise and Nicolo Piccolo.
A stroller is not ideal in Venice, but this bothers the stroller pusher more than the stoller occupant.

Piazza San Marco

Berkeley babies! Nicolo patting Raphael's head.

Baby Fashionista

Raphael is modeling his Paul Smith shirt. Realizing that this is the only Paul Smith shirt he'll ever own, he didn't even spit up on it.

Vivien knows that Charles (v-neck and Polo) and I (dirty t-shirt and PJs) are lost causes. So he has decided to introduce Raphael into the world of fashion and high-end clothing.
Post-bottle bliss


Raphael's favorite toy (In other words, the one we shove in his hands most often.)

Videos of Nothing

I'm sure prior to having a baby I would have asked why somebody would bother filming this. When you spend all day with a newborn you get very excited about the smallest signs of neural connections. You even get excited enough to film them.
