Alessandro had his first DPT shot today. He went straight back to sleep after the needle prick, but 3 hours later he was quite miserable. He cried his first tears, and his mother cried right along with him! 
  This picture is a few weeks later with Grandma and Grandpa Di holding him in the Antigua Market.

  Cheryl took D'Ale for a little "swim" at Hotel Antigua with a few friends.  He really seemed to enjoy the dip in the warm water.  He looked like a little Buddha!

  Alessandro laughed out loud for the first time today! William at the next door internet cafe made him giggle while Cheryl was holding him. 
  This photo is Grandma Cathy holding him in Pollo Campero, Antigua.

Alessandro had his first bite of real food today!  He loved it! He opened his mouth wide for each bite, and had a look on his face like, "I can't believe you've waited this long to feed me this!"

Today, just after receiving our PGN Out news, Brian felt a tooth coming in on the bottom of his jaw.  His first tooth broke the surface on Monday 27 November.  He has been drooling for weeks and had been very irritable lately.  He picks up everything and it heads straight to his mouth to chew upon.
