I've been pretty bad about posting. We've got a number of things to cover here...our little fellow now has four teeth on the top and two on the bottom. Holy mother of mercy! His sleep has been dreadful, and I'm starting to understand why...he popped out 3 teeth in two weeks. Let's hope he'll give mom and dad a break tonight.

Amedeo had his first haircut. Looking at the pictures makes me realize how perilous it is to trim an 8.5 month-old's hair. He is lucky to have both of his ears intact.

Emily came to our house last week to sew a non-sock monkey for Jack. We decided to put them in the same outfit...


The day before Halloween, Emily, very kindly hosted a party. It was terrific fun to see all the babies dressed up. We learned an important lesson: as they get older, they start expressing their opinions with more volume. I'd say that was the loudest gathering yet!

On Halloween, we went to storytime at the library. It was amusing to see the little kids' costumes.
This weekend, we had date night on Saturday. We went to the cheesecake factory for dinner. Our waitress looked a lot like Jennifer Coolidge. No kidding. It amused me the whole dinner. Pietro ate a raw piece of fish...he said it was rare...I like fish, but I go to restaurants so they can COOK for me. I can stay at home and eat raw meat straight from the refrigerator. I had a pasta dish with shrimp, garlic and enough butter to choke a horse. By the end of the meal, both of us were ready to fall asleep in the booth. Thank you very much gramma and grampa!!!
