moving day

Dedicated to Auntie Amy! Happy Birthday!

carnevale in Pecetto means confetti everywhere, shaving cream fights, candy catching, zucchero filato (cotton candy), kids in costume, flag throwing, tractor parade, and 3 hours of italians shouting into a megaphone. Our little fisherman enjoyed the show from dad's shoulders and standing (!) in his large rainbow boots, tied on to his jeans.

luca flaunts his catch of the day

looking so big!

a day in the life

 cruising, looking for the most dangerous things to touch and insert in mouth

 being attacked by women of all ages

 after a getting himself satisfactorily dirty, now it's time to get others!

 mysteriously, we often find luca without pants by the end of his nap

getting into EVERYTHING

snowman

Luca's second snowfall was probably more exciting for us. We went down to our friend's yard to join in the snowman building fun, but Luca's fun lasted for about 5 minutes. I think it will be different next year when he can freely use his arms and legs. Or maybe he was unhappy because our cool edible snowman was only 12" tall.

babba and babba

Also known as, mamma and dadda, or really anything thing else that's important in Luca's world. Luca could call us anything and we'd still think it was the cutest and most intelligent babble a 10 month old could produce. Each day his personality is growing and taking form. His smiles, babbles, and curiousity increase. It's a delight to see the world again, through younger and brighter eyes.

No gifts please, just bubble wrap.

new years resolution one.....check!

So technically it was one of last years, but the point is that the corkboard is finished and hung in time to hang all of our beautiful christmas cards! Corks are courtesy of 3 years of living and drinking wine in italy, plus some help from the restaurant across the street. It took 620 corks and several Luca naps to finish.
