Minutes of Fussiness: Fifty-three. Not bad for a three month old!
People surprised: Il nonno. Everyone else and their dog knew we were coming, but somehow the secret was still kept from grandpa. And his reaction was priceless.
Clothing items gifted: Forty-three. I'm telling you, Scotty Luca is going to be the best dressed boy in all of Seattle.
Things we consumed: Tortellini, pizza, crostata, biscotti, hot chocolate, grisbì, caprese sandwiches, and focaccia.
Best part of the trip: Seeing the family ooh and awe over Scott's coos and smiles.
Hardest part for Mamma: Leaving baby for a whole day while Andrea and I toured Milan. DeVinci's "Last Supper" is incredible, but I missed my baby.
Hardest part for Papà: The nights in which he only slept for ten minutes due to an overactive brain and baby with jet lag.
{What? It's 4am and I should be sleeping?}
Hardest part for baby: So much cuddle time :)
Kodak moment:
Scotty was having a hard time falling asleep, until Andrea had this ingenious idea. I now have a special affinity for airplane tray tables.
Biggest regret: Not eating enough pizza.
What we miss most: Kisses from i nonni and la zia (and la nonna's cooking!).
