Pete frequently refuses to put on his heavy coat so we love wrapping him up warm in his copertina that Nonna Angela made.
Our first homeade Carnival costume, lots of work but optimal results!

Zio Maurizio thought it would be funny to give Pete a taste of his first lemon.

All dressed up, we went to Luca Ryan's 1st birthday party and cried the whole time. There was a little boy dressed as a cowboy who blew a very loud party whistle and poor Pete was scared of its loudness.

Tiredness, sweetness, hungriness all wrapped into one little boy.

Some more shots of Pete in his lovely and bright costume.

Zia Lory bought the material, Nonna Angela thought Megan could follow the pattern, Megan thought Angela knew how to cut the pattern out...in the end a friend came to help us out and this was the final product, cute enough!

Precious moments at pranzo (lunchtime) with Papà

This is my most frequent apparel: slippers, favourite sweatshirt, and of course, Grandma's apron. It makes me feel pretty in the kitchen.We have loved the addition of the play pen in our living room, Pete especially, although after I caught him climbing out we've had to move the mattress down. At 6 months he's quite an adventurist.

Looking out into the backyard, and looking forward to warmer days...

Mom, you know better than to give me a pen! I'm so smart I can take the lids off and don't I have a cool Zoro mustache?

Little Pete's most disliked moments: getting all bundled up and put into his car seat, but he sure is cute and once he's out and about he's as happy as can be.

This is my favorite place to play...questo è il mio posto preferito per giocare.

Mommy loves to sit with me...Mamma ama stare seduta con me.

She helps me build and pull and of course find joy in growing...Lei mi aiuta a costruire, a tirare e a trovare gioia nel crescere.

We play while Daddy is at work, so that when he comes home he can see how many things I can do...Giochiamo mentre Papà sta a lavoro cosicché quando torna lui possa vedere quante cose riesco a fare!

I am such a good boy and am beginning to move around so much that now my room floor is covered with my puzzle pieces...Sono talmente bravo e sto imparando a muovermi cosi tanto che adesso la mia camera è tutta un tappetto.
