We are leaving bright and early tomorrow morning to go to the Alps with Daniele and Giovanni. Can't wait to see my little snow bunny teeter around on the ice.

Peanuts for my Peanut
In an attempt to keep her still while I took a picture, I gave her this box only to realize afterward that she had slowly and quietly gnawed a hole through the packaging.

The Quest of a Lifetime - Finally Fulfilled
For months, which constitutes a notable portion of her lifetime, she has been itching to get her hands on this box. It contains all sorts of cords, plugs and electronics. When she watched her father place the box within reach, she bolted to other side of the crib while simultaneously panting and shrieking. It can't be easy to do both at the same time, but she managed it. Suffice it to say, when the box was finally wrenched from her tightly clenched fists, she was exhausted.

The Latest Nonna Sweater
In my opinion, the best one yet. Pixie could open a boutique with all these lovlies. But we won't - we aren't selling!

Camera Grabbing
She is furious because I won't give her the camera. Here is her manifestation of anger. She balls up her little fists and when she is really feeling it - turns bright red.

The Battle Continues
It started way before she could touch her feet. She would rub them together until eventually they would fall off. Now, she just plucks at the velcro and removes them without blinking. And I am back on the floor strapping them on again. We do this dozens of times a day.
