Lola meets Great Grandpa Mirci

Lola meets her Great Grandpa Mirci. She is his first and only Great Granddaughter.

Ohh! She must be Italian! Bella Bambino!

The Mirci crew with Papa and Great Grandpa Mirci, outside Papas house.

Joey

Loves learning to read and do math, creating his own games, and doting over his baby sister. Anything for "older kids", everything blue or red (like spiderman), Soccer, Wrestling, and Basketball with his brother and dad, and learning about many new and different things all the time. His woobies and kitties. Building and creating all sorts of things with his legos or just about anything. And of course he saves it all!This Summer he is super busy with Swimming lessons (he now swims under water and has goggles!) Basketball camp at the Community Center is a 2 hr. daily event for us. His most cherrished moments are those spent with his daddy helping him with his "Dentist" stuff. Even if he just get's to hold the garbage scraps, he is in his own little heaven. He and Mom are working on his learning to ride a bike. Loves plants, seeds, leaves, flowers, and all types of unique animals and bugs...as long as he doesn't have to touch them. Joey is a very curious, smart, sensitive and thoughtful, snuggly big boy. He is so wise and kind beyond his years. He is very special to our family.

Dax

Dax is a constant form of entertainment and love now that he is the big 3. Loves anything his brother has or does, Diego, Sponge Bob, Spiderman, Monster trucks, reading books and playing games. He strangely likes running and jumping on the scale (he calls this exercizing). Anything to do with the movies, Carsor Diego. Dancing with mom and Lola, and to Daddy playing Guitar Hero or Rock Band. His woobie and meow, meows, "sausage" (it's really tofu patties!), all types of berries, waffles with sprinkles and taquitos. He takes a tumbling class at the community center once a week and also does a swim class on Saturdays with Mom. Also loves the kids club that he and Lola go to when mommy goes to the gym. We can now proudly say he is officially POTTY TRAINED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lola

Now that she is 23 months old, she likes to clap and wave, give high 5's, and sing. She is now WALKING, and can even go down the stairs herself. If she doesn't like something or want it anymore she shows you by throwing it to the side faster than you would know! She loves music! She will wiggle, SNAP and wave her arms around, she sings her own songs when the music stops. She pulls her own hair clips and bows out, as well as others faces and hair! Likes all "big kid" toys, electronics (especially phones!), cords and anything that makes noise or lights up. She loves books, and turns the pages very well! I have been teaching her "girly" things like holding a purse and putting stuff in it. Make up, and brushing hair. She said her first word around 12 months-"Da-da!" Lola also says MOM, MOMMY, DAX, JOEY, UP, NIGHT-NIGHT, HI, BYE, EAT, MORE, CRACKER, COOKIE, DRINK, CUP, STEP, BUBBIES (Dax), AHH-OOH, BABY<>14 teeth now, 5 of which are molars. She's SO super flexible yet strong. She still does her "ballerina pose" where she grabs her left foot with her right hand and won't let go. Her ultimate favorite thing on this planet is the show "YO GABBA GABBA" and anything to do with it! She's so sweet! A very snuggly, happy and heart capturing, growing up too fast, little girl.

*One day at the store, a produce clerk told me Lola had the eyes of the Virgin Mary. I think that was a unique comment!
