Max's newest fan;-)

A little dance,

a little yawn,

a little smile;-)

Ooops I meant to put this on the blog last week when my mom left, but forgot, so is the mind of a geographically single mother with 2 little kids. Here my mom enjoys her last gelato in Vicenza before heading back to Orcas Island. Grandma stayed with us for about 2 months and we are so thankful for all her help. Max keeps saying, "Grandma come back next week." To which I answer,"Yes grandma will come back." This will only work until he actually figures out how long a week really is;)

Max enjoys some cake at his friend Logan's second birthday party!

Just being cute:D

Conspiring already.....

6 Weeks old today and already color coordinating with her new bouncy chair;-)

The latest modeling pose;-)

Oh the cute toothless smile;-)

We all enjoy a little play time. These days Max likes bringing toys for Chiara and gets really close to her face and says, "See Max, see Max." He also wants to smell and kiss her all the time and for her to watch him jump on mom's bed from her changing table;-) Then he says, "Chiara, watch this one!"

No it is not Saint Patricks Day.....and actually I forgot to wear green this last year, but somehow this day I managed unintentionally to dress us all in green. We are still looking for our pot of gold;-)

A very hot attempt at a picnic at Lago di Fimon. Sorry grandma I did not mean to cut you out.....

OK I know I skipped over some time here, but I am currently having downloading problems with my cameras and am only able to use my iphone photos and as you can imagine am also a bit busy with a toddler and new born....I will try to keep more current for all the Baker fans out there. Know we are well;-) My mom is still with us but she will leave on Tuesday and my new part time nanny starts the same day! Thanks for all the well wishes in e-mails and on FB.

Chiara at one month young!

Sleeping beauty;)

Chiara's first picnic at our local park.

Yes this was while Jay was still here;-) Sorry I have been a bit behind on the blog.....

Yum!

Proud Mom!

It is an Italian tradition to decorate the outside of the house or apt in our case to announce a new baby! This was on the front door thanks to a joint effort of my friend Abbey and the Max and grandma decorating team!

This was on the door to our apt. For those of you who we have not spoken to it is pronounced key-ara, and yes it is Italian!
