just the right light!

Yesterday, there was a perfect light in the living room... here is the result.

5 months: Let's get serious

At 5 months Nandu was now clearly big enough to attend his first neutrino conference: NuFact 11!
Pictures were taken with my phone so they are note great but it's better than nothing.






This is just too prove that he actually attended talks,



even though he didn't pay much attention to everything.

The new chair

So we splurged and got Nandu a fancy high chair. It's adaptable and all so he is supposed to be able to use it until he is 18 and goes off to college... let's hope he'll like purple or will have to make a little sister. He doesn't stay in it for more than 5 min without leaning dangerously forward yet, but we tried a few minutes here and there and he seems to enjoy it!

He also tries to eat the table whenever he can... but that's another story.

Here comes the pictures, the first one is blurry obviously but I like it and the second one speaks for itself...

Random facts

Just a few fun facts of these last few days:

1) In the evening, Nandu can be screaming bloody murder around but time, the moment I sit him on my knees to read his evening story (thanks Kathryn for the books!) he calms down and listen religiously to the story... which amazes me since he doesn't understand a thing yet!

2) He started showing a strong perference for some toys. If I try to trick him and give him something else than what he obviously want, he complains.

3) After rolling over for a week, he decided that was not very interesting anymore... I guess having his hands constantly in his mouth even when on his belly doesn't help)

4) He falls asleep super easily after a bath, story, feeding, then usual wakes up around 1 am and 5 am to eat. He also wakes up once or twice in between but falls back alseep easily as long as we kiss him or let him suck on a pinky.

5) He looks at every bite we put in our mouth and seems to really wonder what we are doing.

Playing catch

Nandu playing catch for the first time... not too bad (says the proud mamma)!

Anna and Claudio's wedding

Most of the pictures are posted on Picasa, but here are just a few. Overall we had a wonderful weekend in Pollzeno, close to Torino in Italy. Now that we have a car and that I discovered that it is only 3 hours away... we might go back!

And Nandu again, just because he is soooo cute!

Nap time

It's been a while since I posted some naptime pictures. So here it goes:



Otherwise, we actually received my dad's car today... I hoped I would never own a car, but I guess this will be useful to overcome my fear of driving. It will also be quite convenient for vacations and weekends. On Nandu's front, he has been waking up about twice per night lately, after being very good and waking only once for two months... I hope it will go back to once soon, because as much as I enjoy my 1am and 4 am facebook/google+ browsing, I enjoy my sleep much more!
