Sleep

Last weekend, Amedeo was taking a nap. I heard him stirring and went up to see. He had climbed out of the sheets and promptly fell back to sleep at the foot of the bed with his butt in the air. Tee hee hee. Why is it that they are so cute when they're asleep?















And this brings me to what sleep will be like for me in 3.5 weeks. I am not looking forward to sleep deprivation again. But I am looking forward to meeting the baby girl. I suppose I can't have one without the other!

The Sprinkler

Last week was HOT! I looked forward to hot weather all winter until I actually got it. Now I don't want it any more. Fickle me. These pictures were taken late one afternoon last week. Amedeo and I had stayed in all day due to the heat. I thought he needed to run around and the sprinkler provided the very necessary entertainment. Pietro enjoyed it too after being in the office all day!



Hey, Mom! It's hot and the water is cold. Isn't that crazy?!?!



Ok, son, you head left, I'll go right and we'll get your mother with the hose. Don't let her get away!



Not sure what is happening here. I bet Amedeo had a reason.



Pietro thought he could hide from the water....no no no. Silly man.



Amedeo asked me what his swim shirt said. Surf Life. Not very applicable to our lives, sadly. More like Suburbia Life. Ha!



ME! I am in charge! You will do what I say because I am wet and covered in grass!



I like this last picture of Amedeo. I feel like it is a little window into what he might look like as he gets older.

So this is TWO posts in a week! Holy Smokes! We are going a little slower with the baby preparations. I have washed lots of clothes and carseat covers and all of that. Now we have a dresser to put the clothes in. I'd say we're ready, but I'm certain something else will come up in the next 4.5 weeks!

One Post a Month?

How have the Bernasconis been entertaining themselves? I shall tell you!

We have been cooking stuff in the bathroom sink. Amedeo seems to enjoy fooling around with water and soap. I hope to have him doing dishes soon.



We have been making helmets out of cereal boxes.



When you wear a helmet over your eyes, it makes driving more challenging. Boys + wheeled vehicles + blindfold = more gratifying thrills.



We have been sitting in baskets while eating bananas and M&Ms. Good times, I tell ya!



Pietro and I have been working very hard on Amedeo's new room! He requested yellow and green, so that's what he got. I made the curtains out of IKEA fabric with room darkening lining from the JoAnns. Also from IKEA is the big leaf canopy, his bedside pouches (hanging on wall...hard to see) and his chest.



Pietro installed new closet doors and painted them. More recently than when this photo was taken, he put knobs on the doors and installed two shelves and a closet pole. Yay, Pietro!
The other fabulous thing he did before we painted, was install bamboo floor in this room, the hallway and the steps. I love it so much more than carpet.



Amedeo has been interested in cooking. He is rarely interested in hat-wearing, so I grabbed at the opportunity to take his picture here.



We have been wearing our swimsuits. Everywhere. It's hot.


I think I posted last month. Here's my post for this month..ha ha, no. I hope to post more often. I am a lazy pregnant woman. Mostly what I want to do is sleep, eat cold things and order my husband around. Only 5 more weeks to go!
