Pumpkin Update

My sweet grandson is growing big and strong and is fast approaching three months of age!

Unlike his Nonna (me) he is a morning lark and wakes up early with lots of smiles and coos.

Cranky time, if any, is in the evening, but Mommy & Daddy tell us he's usually a very good boy.



He already has a few favorite toys and enjoys his outings to the park, riding in his stroller and baby carrier. He even has a few other baby friends!

Nonna and Nonno have enjoyed talking to him through our web cams, and when he smiles our hearts leap with joy!



We love him so much and can't wait to see him again, to hug him and cover him with kisses!

An extra special thank you to Laura @Shore(house)Chic for the adorable jacket, specially embroidered with Leo's name! Leo loves wearing it, and gets a lot of compliments wherever he goes in it.

It's just perfect for our little pumpkin, Laura! Thanks again!

    That is the CUTEST pumpkin ever! Leo is just adorable...Look at that sweet smile! And he looks so good in the color of pumpkin. What a great little snowsuit. A virtual kiss to that baby's cheek from me! And a ((HUGS)) to you, Pat! :o)

    Aren't webcams great for keeping in touch with loved ones far away? We'd be so lost without them. Leo is just a doll!

    Good Morning Pat!

    Leo is sooo handsome!! What an adorable little gut! He looks so happy and healthy. And what a great idea to have a webcam so you can see him and talk to him! That is the neatest thing.
    You are such a proud Nonna and so blessed! And that little jacket looks so sweet on him too.

    Big grandma hugs, Sherry

    He's a cutie and I'd be covering him with kisses too! He's just getting into that perfect age - lasts until they start wanting "down" all the time! I love that jacket too. I know you're really anxious to see him again - the baby stuff doesn't last nearly long enough for "grandmas". PAM

    That color is perfect for Leo...and for some reason, I'm finding that amazing. Your grand is so cute and the other amazing thing is how much he's grown! Glad that you have your web cams to enjoy him better and I hope that you are able to visit soon.

    OOOHHH! What a great post for me to return home to (home from the land of Leo, for that matter! I am in love with both Colorado and your grandson, now.) I'm glad he liked his new sweatshirt...he looks pretty handsome if I do say so myself. :-) Thanks for sharing the pictures!!

    Hi Pat,
    I feel like I haven't been over here in a while. I'm so sorry, but now I'm catching up.
    I can't believe how big Leo is getting and how darling! Hopefully you'll be able to visit soon!?

    He has grown so much. He's so cute. I believe Jolie is pretty in French. She has taken the name of Jo since the show Facts of Life back in the 80's. Also, she was a tomboy like that Jo and it just stuck. Little Leo is growing so fast. I know you can't wait to hold him again.

    Leo is quite the looker. He is absolutely adorable! I can't believe that sweet baby is every fussy! I hope it won't be long before his Nonna and Nonno get to visit him again.
