Check 'em out!

Check out my big muscles, Grandma. I am ready to fight all the boys off....

I hate loud!

My cousin Ashton, and my good friend Kian, have two things in common. They are both cute....
....and extremely loud!

Mmmm......Still Lovin my Green Beans

Quick "Strong Man" thrown in for good measure.
Cleaned up and ready for my after-dinner pacifier session.

Independence Day

My cousin, Sidney, and I got all dressed up for the 4th of July. She was so sparkly and pretty and I aspire to be just as stylish one day.
She helped me with my dinner before the festivities. (That was back in the days when I still ate baby food.)

Sunshine on my shoulders...not

Mama made sure I was well protected when I headed to the beach at Lake Chelan.
Once we got there, I was the only person in the shade with 3 coats of sunscreen.
It was still a lot of fun.

Hammin for the Camera

My favorite trick is called "Strong Man".
Who made that farting noise?
You know..... .....sometimes I really crack myself up!

Dinner is Served

By the time we got to Chelan, I was getting pretty good at feeding myself finger foods.....
.....and also good at letting everyone know when I'm finished.

Partner in Crime

I spent a lot of time with my cousin, Ashton, during our week in Chelan. He nicknamed me "Baby Gus" and helped me with food, retrieving my pacifier and keeping me away from all of my lead-based toys. (that's a joke)

Where do we begin?

Mama and I left Italy at the end of June and headed for "home" to see my grandparents and meet the rest of my family including lots of cousins. After a couple of days, Mama and I headed to Lake Chelan with the Bosone clan.

(Papa joined us a couple of days later.)

Here I am hanging out in Grandma's and Grandpa's condo.

Show of Hands

Who thinks that new blog picks are long overdue?

We certainly have some catching up to do.....

Love, Gus and her slacker assistant, Mama
