I'm learning to play the jambé and I'm really good, Mom loves it especially when I scratch my nails on it and make a chalk board screetch.

Papà thought it would be funny to hide me in his closet. I could never hide in Mom's side of the closet...I'd get lost in there.

The computer is one of my most favourite pastimes. I love to sing songs and watch Winnie the Pooh do his morning stretches before eating honey.

I am a slow eater and always a suspect of what Mom's feeding me...but I'm learning to love all food!

Aren't I a Prince?

Papà is camera shy, and I love to dance with Zula.

Here we are, whirling and twirling around the living room, I in my most comfortable sweats (I'm starting to move around lots and lots), and Papà in his work clothes. This is us, on a sunny winter morning...I'm a little bit too big for my bear chair. Papà thought it would be funny to hide me in his closet. I'm learning to play the jambé and I'm really good at it, Mom

We spent New Year's at Angela and Gabriele's house and celebrated their 1st wedding anniversary. We roasted cheese and it was my first exquisite taste of yet another Italian tradition. During the holidays I always discover new traditions while simultaneously missing traditions at home with family in the States.

This white Monclier coat was Angela and Gabrielle's gift to Pete, we hope it fits better next year.

Everyone was so excited to see Pete dressed up for the holidays. I bought this gilet for him at a fabulous store called H&M that they recently opened in Pescara. There are great buys for cute babies!

These are the long-ago-promised photos to Erin, Pete's little room. He is such a grown up baby and has been sleeping on his own ever since he reached 3 months. He loves his crib and has difficultly falling asleep elsewhere, something that we've had to get used to as we often find ourselves at friend's and family's right at nap time!
