Wordless Wednesday

Santa brought trains.  Good thinking Santa.

Just in on the fun over at Wordless Wednesday here and here.

E-A-G-L-E-S !

Now if you are a Cowboys fan I am sorry!  I just had to post these pictures. 

We have a friend that is a die hard Cowboys fan (and married to a die hard Eagles fan), anytime the Eagles beat the Cowboys it a "tradition" to rub it in.  Now mind you it goes both ways.

This time we just happen to have matching Eagle's jammies the boys got from Nana.  I just couldn't resist.

We use to just inundate him with text messages that say "how about them Cowboys", but now we've up the anti with Facebook and blogs.

Francesco: Look Nicolo, the Cowboy's fumbled.

Nicolo: hehehehehehehehehe!

Nicolo: Looks Francesco, another Cowboy's fumble.

Francesco: hehehehehehehe!

Francesco: We got another touchdown!  Now its 44-6!

Nicolo:Yeah!  Go EAGLES!

Francesco:  Hey Nicolo, how about them Cowboys!

Nicolo: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Best Shot Monday

Any day now he is going to take off and crawl.  I already have a time trying to keep track of him with the way he rolls everywhere.  Two kids on the move, heaven help me.  I am happy though, he is growing so fast and so beautiful.  I am also pleased to announce that he will also have teeth.  At 8 months and 22 day we have a tooth on the bottom right, I swear the one next it it is also trying to breech the surface.

Get a clue!

I am reminded daily that "toddlers" look at things in a whole different light.  For example, I can put milk in Francesco cereal bowl and then he decide that he want to do it himself.  The fact that the bowl is already full is lost on him.  All he see is the fact that he did not get to help pour the milk.  When we try to make cookies together he wants to eat them as soon as they are mixed, the fact that they have to cook for 8-10 minutes is completely lost on him.

Just the other day he comes to me yelling "a clue, a clue".  I had no idea what he was talking about.  I wasn't even sure what he was saying.  Finally he takes me by the hand and walks me over to these:

Nicolo's Shoes

See in his world a Blue Paw print is always a  clue.  If only the secret to being a parent of a two year old was as easy as collecting 3 clues and a stint in the Thinking Chair.

Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend, I will be looking for Clues!

Theme Thursday: Favorite Holiday Memories

These are just a couple of pictures I took of my baby Francesco before his first Christmas. I used the second one for our Christmas card and got rave reviews from everyone. The fact that others liked my pictures really made me think seriously about the hobby of photography. Not to mention I had myself a pretty handsome subject on hand at all times.

I can definately see some flaws in the photos now but I like to see how far I think I have come when it comes to taking pictures.  I swear I learn something new each day, and have fun along the way.  I have definitely learn a lot from all of you.

The things I do for the ones I love!

Best Shot Monday

I am completely amazed how the last eight months have just flown by.  Nicolò is growing in leaps and bounds, and now he is really trying to crawl.  He can scoot around on his belly like a champ and is into everything.  I don't recall Francesco getting into so much, probably cause I never took my eye off of him.  Now that I have two my attention is split, Nicolò has a little more free range.  Just the other day he rolled and scooted under the end table in the living room and started pulling tissues out of a box.  He pulled at least 1/2 dozen out by the time I got to him, I starting to think he will be the one to watch. ;-)
