Well, Valentina is one year old. Unbelievable. What is EVEN MORE unbelievable is that she is STILL not eating solid food or drinking anything, including breastmilk, from a bottle. Or sippy cup. Or plastic cup. We heard from the lady at our bank that her daughter didn't eat any solid foods until 18 months. Ouch.
She is fairly on schedule with everything else though. Lots of words, including "ciao, ciao" and "gak". She says that a lot. We thought it meant "duck" or "quack" but now we think it either means "grandma" or "kijk" (which is "look" in Dutch).
Although that is sort of a joke because Davide speaks Italian to her, not Dutch.
Definitely a lot of fast crawling and wants to stand up holding onto the furniture ALL the time.
We are loving life in Merano: beautiful mountains, great weather, completely pedestrian town, about a two minute walk to Nonna and Nonno's house, marvelous Terme baths.
What more can you ask for? Come visit!!!
