The new do (and don't)

The day after his birthday, mom gives Rilo the ceremonial first haircut. The following photos are accompanied by Rilo's comments.

Hey, woman, watch the locks.



What was that?!?



You didn't!!!!!



This is a very bad thing.



The next day, we hired a professional...

The Big One

July 10, 2007--Rilo turns one! Some family congregate at his great-grandmother's house to celebrate.

Making great-grandma Lourdes laugh.



The family photo.

Noodles for long life:




Rilo's birthday ice-cream pie.



Who's that to the right?!?

With the Enecio family (Jeremy, Jeffrey, Tita Becky, and Uncle Ely Boy), visiting from Maryland.



Now the party's started! Cheers to the big one!

Last days of being a baby...

Here are the pictures for May and June, and I just realized that we don't have any of Rilo walking (only video)! He's been a toddler for almost 4 weeks now. And he turned one yesterday! But you'll have to hold on for the birthday pictures.

For now, let's catch up on the last two months:

Rilo now makes funny faces, aka, "beautiful eyes."





He's slimming down (it's all relative).

He explores downtown LA, Grand Avenue.







He celebrates mom's first Mother's day.



He poops in the potty!!!



And keeps up with his oral hygiene.



Rilo meets his new friend, True Azadelle Pruitt.



This was her high-fiving Rilo only days before she makes it outside of Tita Trina.



He spends time with his friend, Dot...



As you can see, they love to taste test toys.



He welcomes Uncle Mikey back from his 554-mile trek down California with the AIDS ride.



This was the day he actually took his first tentative steps, but he tried not to try again until the next month.







Getting in some practice (but he doesn't let go yet).







See you next time!
