September is here!

I can't believe that September is here! I am looking forward to the cooler weather. I am not looking forward to the trees losing their leaves...then we see our nemesis, Walgreens. Amedeo starts preschool on Tuesday. He is so excited. He talks on his pretend phone, telling people, "oh, no, I can't come over today, I have preschool!" What a tease!

Celeste is doing well. She continues to be a very smiley baby. We will never tire of toothless grins...even at 2 am, they are still cute. Ask me in 6 months if I'm tired of getting up 2 or more times at night. Ha!
























Amedeo is surprisingly good-natured about his sister. I think he mostly views her as another audience. He wants her to come with him everywhere so she can see him do stuff. Just wait until she can crawl and mess up his trains. Then the gloves will come off!











Even now, there are still lots of sleeping baby cuddles. I don't remember when Amedeo started taking naps in his crib, but I am still enjoying this time. Of course, not much gets done during the day....who needs to mop the floor when it keeps getting dirty? Foolish parents!










I miss knitting. I miss fitting into my pants and shirts. If you see me, and I'm wearing ugly clothes, it's just because I'm cheap, and I don't want to buy bigger clothes to get by until I lose the last 15lbs. My chocolate chip cookie habit might be impeding my progress a teensy bit. Ah well....

Bows

Today's subject is BOWS!!! They are ubiquitous on little baby girl clothing....but, do they make anyone who wears a bow cute? Cast your vote for the cutest bow-wearing individual of the Bernasconi household.



Here is subject #1: Celeste. Definitely cute.



Subject #2: Amedeo. Also, pretty cute. He seems to like his bow, but complained that it was 'too small.'

Subject #3: Pietro. Cute? Not sure if bows and goatees go together. But, at least he is a very good sport.



Subject #4: Violet. Cute and unphased by said bow. She may inherit it from Celeste when she is finished with it.


My conclusion: Bows do not make anyone cute. Bows DO make everything FUNNY. I had a fantastic time attempting to put bows on everyone. You may note that you didn't see me wearing a bow. Hee hee.
