Antonio's Holiday Part XI (Great-Uncle Vitor)

This is Great-Uncle Vitor.
We think he is conspiring with the rest of them to make a hostile take-over of Antonio's custody.
The parents are not pleased.

Antonio's Holiday Part X (Great-Grandpa)

While he was in Portugal Antonio had lunch every Sunday with his Great-Granpa Janela.
Antonio was overwhelmed when he noticed Great-Granpda has a mouth and chin just like his.
He is thinking of suing for plagiarism.

Antonio's Holiday Part IX (Witchcraft)

Make no mistake: I've got him under my spell - he is but a puppet in my hands!

Antonio's Holiday Part VII (Uncle Pedro)

Uncle Pedro was another casualty in the long list of people hit by Antonio's deadly charm.

Antonio's Holiday Part VII (Sitting)

Auntie Andreia gave Antonio this beautiful (and quite regal) chair that incidentally matched his clothes to perfection. She has quite the eye!

Antonio's Holiday Part VI (Dona Nilce)

Dona Nilce took care of Antonio most mornings.
She helped him with his physical therapy exercises and they got along splendidly. They had plans to run away together but these were thwarted by Antonio's parents.
A shame!

Antonio's Holiday Part V (The Gym)

Granny Gracinha set up a really nice baby gym next to the garden.
This is where Antonio took his naps and let his hair fall back.
(notice hair falling back against the light)

Antonio's Holiday Part IV (Granny Reis)

After the long trip, Antonio met his whole family.
There were too many of them and this got him really tired.
(here he is resting under the watchful eye of Granny Reis)

Antonio's holiday Part III (The trip)


The rest of the trip he slept like a baby and was very pleased with the legroom in coach class.

Antonio's Holiday Part II (The trip)


After boarding the plane Antonio was served dinner.
He was very disappointed that this was still his usual liquid diet.
Where were the wonders of international airplane cuisine? Where?
But as far as food is concerned he takes what he can get, so he drank the whole bottle.

Antonio's Holiday Part I (The trip)


Antonio went on a Holiday to Portugal for the month of August.
To get there he had to take a plane.
That was very exciting.
(here Antonio is wondering where is the Eiffel Tower...)

Pilates Class


Antonio tries Pilates.
It's ok.

World Peace

A strong statement on world peace:
Antonio holds the pacifier in him and does not let go even if asleep.

Tour de France

Antonio prepares for the 'Tour de France' by wearing the infamous yellow shirt (who cares about the cycling anyway?)

The keys to success

Antonio heard people hold the keys to success in their own hands.
He did not want to miss out on that.

Antonio the American - Part II

Daddy, I'm tired of being patriotic!
Can we skip it until next year?

Antonio the American - Part I

For his first 4th of July Antonio decided to play the part and wear 'all American' gear. He prepared to watch the fireworks by wearing a matching 'red white and blue' outfit complete with a baseball cap and a marine hair cut (under the baseball cap). He was caught here with a seriously patriotic facial expression.

Playdate

Antonio and Brian had a playdate! Brian was also born in January. (although, unlike other people, he was supposed to be born in January). Brian played with Antonio's toys, they looked at each other and briefly held hands. They both agreed that Whoozit is not nearly as interactive as another baby...
