(Yes, I'm a bit behind in my posts...)
Time is flying by, and I'm growing up fast, getting taller, talking up a storm, dancing and singing, and enjoying all my classes. I'm even sleeping better, hooray! (And in a toddler bed now, too.)
My birthday in December was so much fun - I had a big party at a toddler gym with lots of friends and family.
And a few days later, we celebrated Christmas (!) and the birth of little Baby J (Jesus). From my Baby Christmas book, I learned all about Mary and Joseph and Baby J and the Angels and the Three Wise Men. (These guys are my favorite. I talked about them all the time, and even called out for them at church on Christmas day.) I also had fun rearranging our nativity scene.

Some other very exciting news is that my Zia Titti came to visit on Christmas Day! We had so much fun together, and went to parks, played together, watched videos of fast Ferraris (she brought me a little one too, from Milan), and we even took a trip to Muir Woods. Unfortunately all my classes were on winter break, so she couldn't see my day-to-day life and activities; but, she got a really good understanding of how much energy I have and how much I love to talk! She also got to see how quickly my sleep regresses when my daily schedule changes (boo-hoo, why did ALL my classes have to be on break?!?)
For New Year's Eve, we all headed across the street to celebrate with our new neighbors, the ones with the little boy my age. His dad is really into cooking (but a banker by trade), and not only did he make pizzas from scratch as well as delicious toppings, he also bought a pizza oven to cook them in - and the pizzas were AMAZING. Just like pizzas from Naples, which are probably the best in the world. We were all impressed, but now my parents are really intimidated to have them over for dinner. Apparently, he thought since we're Italian, we cook amazingly. (Nope.) Lucky for us, Zia Titti made some delicious, authentic Italian desserts for the occasion and made a great impression. Phew!
One of my favorite things Zia Titti did while she was here, was play a little game with me that my great-grandmother Nonna "Lina" Elena used to do..it goes like this: While rubbing my open hand or bare foot, saying: "Bella manina (or bel piedino), fatto a penello, dove sei stato, dalla nonna, cos'hai mangiato, pan e latte, gatte gatte gatte...(while tickling my hand or foot). :) Translation: Beautiful little hand (or foot), made like a painted doll, where have you been, at nonna's house, what did you eat, bread and milk, coochie coochie coochie coo... :)
We were so grateful for Zia's visit, and sad to see her leave. We love you Zia Titti! See you soon on Skype.
I hope everyone is off to a good start this year... Wishing you lots of love, music, and laughter.
Yours truly,
Baby J's friend, Baby G.
