Sestri

We just got back from a wonderful vacation where Dylan got to meet and hang out with a lot of his family.  He had a great time!

We were first in Sestri Levante with Nonna, Mary, Matt and Alice.  

It was Dylan's first time meeting his cousin Alice.  After a few wary glances while they got to know each other, it was constant hugs and kisses for the rest of the trip.

Alice is going to make an excellent big sister.  She got her feet wet by practicing on Dylan.  She showed him the finer points of tummy time...

 The proper way to eat...

And how to "cheers" at aperitivi...

Mary also got some practice with two little ones (which will come in handy in a few months!).  And Nonna put us to shame with how easy it was for her to juggle both Alice and Dylan.  She also kindly offered to watch the kiddos most nights so we could go out on the town.

Dylan also got in some quality beach time, soaking up the Mediterranean sunshine.  He sunbathed with his mom and dad, practiced standing, and gnawed on some delicious knuckles.

The three of us also took a day trip to Portofino.

We all had a fabulous time and miss Italy already...especially the magic cobblestones that were the surefire way to get Dylan to sleep!

Pictures from our trip to Myrtle Beach with all of the Wiethes will be coming soon!
