First Outing



Sunday was Dario's first outing to the mounatins; at 1200 meters, and an hour's way to Carpegna to go for what should have been a relaxing day away from it all, and especially away from everyone else. However, what we did not know was that there was also the 12th annual pilgrammage to honour Saint Maria de everyone and everything, and so spent an hour pilgramming, well, mainly just waiting for the bathroom. We did spot (it was hard not to) a well-rounded woman clambering up the hill to attend to "her calling" , with hundreds of faithful below her possibly wondering if it were an apparition or for real...we quickly changed scene and headed for a nearby lake (pond) instead.

Baby Milestones


1) Keep head up for several seconds now before letting it smash onto Mommy's, Daddy's or Nonna's shoulder.

2) Make gurgly, ooh and aah sounds with voice to get people's attention which seems to work!

3) Poop as much and hard as possibly can to see how much of it can escape the diaper ; I get daily practise.


Many more milestones to come, so until then you'll just have to be happy with these pics and this short video.

Vaccination Day


First vaccination and not so much as even a flinch from him, yet now 8 hours later, he is strating to fuss and cry uncontrollably. Not the first one and won't be the last.


More pics!
