Parabens pra voce, Nesta data querida, Muitas felicidades, Muitos anos de vida…. Paolo turned 2 years old today! We did not experience much of the “terrible two’s” with either Lorenzo or Chloe.

We had to make a decision on Paolo’s full name to get his ss#, and now it is official: Paolo Rafael Calabria. As I mentioned on a earlier post, we started the “first name” hunt with “Leonardo”, but we eventually settled on “Paolo”. Since he turned out to be a Preemie, Since Paolo means “small” [...]
