Petting Zoo

At the petting zoo there were goats and the cutest baby cows: Piera was quited amused by all the animal sounds!

Chubby Thighs

Recently, Dada and Mama noticed something strange on Piera's body: Little white tan lines in the creases of her thighs and arms! Here she is showing them—and her new short shorts from Janie and Jack—off in the midst of Danville, Vermont's great corn maze.

Happy Baby

]The Happiest Baby On The Block is the name of a book, but we think it describes our little Piera to a tee. Here she is a the park last Sunday in her plaid Janie and Jack dress and bonnet.

Day At The Beach

It was steaming hot with no breeze on the shores of the Hudson River, but Mama, Piera and Daddy still had a great afternoon at the beach.

Strawberry Print

How cute is little P's new strawberry print-outfit from DwellStudio for Target? It's a T-shirt and a ruffly skirt. Yum!

Big Kid Vs. Little Kid

The swings are one of our little darling's favorite activities and, this weekend, Sofia showed Piera how to aim high. Just don't show her how to go 'round the top, Sofia!

Patriotism

Outside the antique barn in Rhinebeck, Piera was mesmerized by the American flag flapping in the wind.

Poet's Walk

Sunday was a beautiful summer day. Mama and Piera went for a short hike at Poet's Walk near Tivoli, New York, and Piera got to try her new Kelty carrier.

Boys

Here are some adorable pictures of Piera and Owen at the park.

You know what they say: When a boy likes you, they steal your hat. Or your sock. And then they nuzzle with you.

The Playground

Lately, Piera has discovered the joys of the swingset. We are lucky to live near two playgrounds that have baby swings. Unfortunately, one park gets invaded by big kids after school. Yesterday Mama saw two girls, both taller than her, hanging from the same swing that Piera is in. Reader service announcement: If you're old enough to read this, stay off the baby swings!

Memorial Day Redux

Long weekends always mean lots of Mommy/Piera time. They both loved Auntie Dana's boat, the beach and barbecues with friends.

Sharing

Despite a losing game of corn toss, we had so much fun at Chrissy's front yard barbecue. Adara wasn't so sure about Piera sitting in her lawn chair, though. Thank you for sharing, Adara!

And yes, Piera's socks are intentionally mismatched.

A Picnic

That Owen! He was after Piera's sock again.

Sara's Shower

Oma, Mama and Piera went to Cousin Sara's baby shower, hosted by Great Aunt Lu. We gave receiving blankets, an adorable baseball-print onesie and preemie-size PJs for newborns. Sara's twins are due July 16th. We can't wait to meet them!

Wardrobe Malfunction

On Sunday, Piera went for breakfast at The Mighty Fine. They ate eggs, bacon, pancakes and milk (Piera). And this time, Piera didn't need Owen to lose her sock for her—it came off naturally.

Fort Tryon Park

For her first mommy/baby picnic, Piera borrowed Owen's safari hat.

Spring

It's still cold but everything is in bloom at Fort Tryon Park, down the street from our apartment.

The Mall

Piera was a discerning shopper, even in the face of awesome sneakers.

Spring Training

Last week, Piera went to her first baseball game: Phillies vs. Team Canada. While it wasn't quite like watching the Sox at Fenway, the Phillies won, 9-2. Go Phillies!

Day At The Beach

We went boating and to Shell Island!
