Fun at the Pool!

Mommy took me to Adventure Landing last Sunday to play in the kiddie pool. Isabella, Emma, Zio Derek and Zia Grazia joined the fun!

Here is my 5 month old cousin Emma with Zia Grazia!

Bianca!

Here is a picture of our beautiful dog Bianca. She is a 7 year old White German Shepard. She has adjusted well to Annalisa although they do get jealous of each other once in a while and Annalisa has been knocked off her feet a couple of times by her wagging tale.

My friend Zac!

My friend Zac came to visit from Miami this week.

We played in the water...

I showed him how to be gentle with Mittens...

Before they left our moms wanted us to pose for the camera. Here we are on the couch hanging out.Hey, what should we do next?
Let's start with a little kiss on the cheek!
IYou didn't like my kiss?
I'm sorry. Are you OK?
Ok, Ok, I won't kiss you again!
Well, maybe one more time!

Milestone!?!?!?!?!

Annalisa has figured out how to pick her nose :(

Yesterday on the way home from daycare Annalisa proudly put her finger in her nose and digged something out of it. She looked at it intentively, proud at what she had just accomplished. Then, waved the finger at me trying to get me to take out the "stuff" off it.

As soon as I wiped her hands off she put her finger right back in her nose and digged for a bigger piece...successfully!

I am not sure I should be proud of this. I guess my next challenge will be to teach her not to do this or at least not to do it in public :)

Kisses!

Mittens, our 7 year old polydactyle cat was enjoying his favorite spot on the couch when...

Annalisa came to play with her ears...

...and try to kiss her!
She decided that kissing Tiger was easier after all (Tiger was in her care package)!

So she turned her attention to Cuddles!
First, she convinced her to sit on her lap.
Then, got a good grip and...

...landed a big one on her nose!
