Los Pininos: If I could get off of Facebook, maybe

If I could get off of Facebook, maybe

I'd blog about my son, Oliver:

Saying "doo" and "goo." Those pursed lips are really darlin.
Rolling over from tummy to back. Surprise smile to see the world turn upside-down suddenly.
Getting a tooth? Tiny blister on the lower right.
Sitting up with fists boring into the floor.
getting cuter every day, if that's possible. What a doll.

Los Pininos

We were looking for just the right name to capture the joy and struggle in balancing all the parts of our lives here in New Orleans, with our children, family, work, and selves. I couldn't help but think of Elliot working on his balance, and Tita (my mom) standing him up, gazing in his eyes, and slowly letting go, screaming "Pinino!" Sometimes he'd stand for a few, others he'd crash down...Whatever the outcome, Elliot's response was half-fear, half-thrill and all smiles. I'd like to think that's how we face our daily lives. We are Los Pininos.
