May

Amy and Tanya are both crawling now and have explored virtually every corner of the house (apart from the not so baby friendly areas of the bathroom!). They are already pulling themselves up at every opportunity, quite nerve-wracking for us with all the tiled floors we have here, and we reckon will be walking before we know it!

Luca successfully completed his first swimming course and is now looking forward to his promised trip to Genoa Aquarium with Manolo. School finishes the end of June then we have 3 months at home (apart from much needed two weeks in U.K. in August). Not sure how I'm going to cope with the summer holidays, any visitors will be more than welcome!

Unfortunately no photos of Luca this time, have lots of films of him which must get onto a disc one of these days.........

Tanya seems happy to share her seat with Daisy.

She's not so happy about sharing toys with Amy though. They regularly fight over things and this morning, Tanya took Amy's bottle of milk off her and was drinking it when I came to see why Amy was crying!

Amy finds a novel position for sleeping in!

Dressed in their best for cousin Simone's First Communion. Luckily it was a sunny day but, unluckily, the restaurant where lunch lasted 4 hours was very hot and stuffy. Nevertheless Amy, Tanya and Luca were all very well behaved and an enjoyable day was had by all.

Tanya and Amy already seem to be taking after their big brother, sharing his love of books.
