Antonio's first trip / Primeira viagem do Antonio

This week, we will be flying down to Brazil to show Antonio to all his family. They can't wait to finally meet him and we are aprehensive to get on a plane with him. Luggages, checkpoints, x-rays and an 8-hour flight give us the creeps...

This week he'll have his first vaccines shots and then he'll be fine to travel. We'll stay for about 3 weeks and hopefully we'll see everybody we want to. On March 25th he will be baptized and his godparents are Renata (Rogerio's sister) and Thiago (Claudia's brother). We'll have tons of photos to publish and you will love that.

As of now, he's around 11 pounds and chubbier than ever...He's eating more - which makes Claudia's life more difficult - and consequently pooping more too. Only today he's pooped for 7 times!

On the photo above, the only family member who already knows Antonio very well. She's got here 2 days before he was born and is going back with us. This is grandma Regina (Claudia's mother) who has helped us a lot and made this beginning of life way easier than it looks like! We will miss her and so will Antonio!

Esta semana vamos ao Brasil pra mostrar o Antonio pra toda a familia. Eles nem podem esperar pra conhece-lo e nos estamos bem apreensivos pra pegar m aviao com nosso bebezinho. Bagagens, raios-x e um voo de 8 horas nos deixa assustados...

Ele tambem vai tomar a maioria das vacinas e entao estara pronto pra viajar. Nos vamos ficar umas 3 semanas e se Deus quiser vamos ver a todos. Dia 25 de marco, Antonio vai ser batizado e os padrinhos sao tia Renata e tio Thiago. Nos vamos ter um monte de fotos que voce vao adorar!

Hoje, ele ja tem quase 5 kilos and esta cada vez mais gordinho...Tem comido bastante - o que deixa a vida da Clau bem mais dificil - e logo tem feito bastante coco. So hoje, ele fez uns 7!

Na foto acima, a unica da familia a conhece-lo pessoalmente. Ela chegou aqui uns 2 dias antes dele nascer e volta conosco. Ela eh a vovo Regina (mae da Clau) e que nos ajudou muito a fez nossa experiencia muito mais facil do que parece ter sido! Nos vamos ficar com saudades e o Antonio tambem!

Beijos a todos,

Rogerio, Claudia & Antonio
