Diario di Mamma Jenn

October 5th 2010, I like this date to start writing again, hopefully I can add this post since my modem is dying. It's been a while since I last wrote, I seriously thought I would blog while on vacation at my parents' house--yeah right!! The month and a half we were in Texas flew by so quick but we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. Izzie had her American First Birthday party out there, thanks to my parents and to my brother and sister-in-law. The party was a total success, they invited some of my friends which happen to have babies! I loved the fact that there were lots of babies there. Izzie grew up so much during our vacation, it was unbelievable the things she learned and how quick she learned them. She started saying many more words, all in English, so I guess now we know which language she started speaking first. As of now, her Italian word is "Nonno", Grandpa and "can" which she is trying to say "cane," dog. She is in love with dogs, but she doesn't like the dogs to get close to her...she tries her best to go up to them, but the moment they go towards her, she runs the opposite direction. Not so long ago we took her to a Dog Show and she had a blast! After the Dog Show, any 4-legged animal that resembles a dog is now a dog, even if it has curly hair, for instance a sheep, it's still a dog. Of course how would she know the difference between a dog and sheep when there were all kinds of breeds there, right? Another thing she really loves is being outdoors, thank God the weather is still nice enough to have her outside. It is getting kinda chilly, but I figure jeans and a jacket will keep her warm enough to have her play outside. Here is a picture I took of her while she was playing outside, it's one of my favorite pics and with this I end today's post. I know, probably not too exciting, but it's dinner time and I really am hoping the modem won't go crazy while I upload the picture and post this entry.
