The one with a busy busy day

This morning all Luca wanted to do was cuddle. Which I am completely fine with. I have an entire house that is a disaster still, but it was worth it! We snuggled and watched arthurs perfect Christmas together. 

Side note. Usually when I get ready in the morning he is whining at my feet and climbing on me because he is bored. It drives me mad. But this morning I left my bedroom door open so he could go and play with the toys in his own room too. 

I was checking on him periodically, even though it's not really necessary. The house is toodler proof for the most part. I didn't hear him for a bit so I went to his room and he wasn't there, or in the hall--he was allllllll the way down the stairs. 

He climbed right on down and played with his toys and the pans in the kitchen while I finished. That was a beautiful morning I tell you. The door stays open from now on. 

He's so good and moving backwards to find the edge of things to get off of now, I love it! 

We are playing drums in our music class, and I frequently see him drumming on things now. 

We went to ikea with daddy, costco and best buy today. Best buy was last, so Luca had had it, so I let him explore because it was empty. His toes and hands were black after. Eww. He had a blast going under this table cloth though. It took him quite a while to figure out he could go under it. 

 

Then on the way home to keep him awake we gave him pizza crust. He just shoves everything into his mouth and chews from there lately. It looks hilarious. 

And then he wouldn't go asleep. Again. Dang bedtime and sneaky toddlers!! So he entertained himself by climbing in the cupboards. 

BUT he made up for it a tad by standing up in the middle of the kitchen with no help and no holding on to anything!!! That was awesome. He's so close, and getting more adventurous and willing to do it alone!

Tomorrow I'm picking up our new kitchen table! I'm so excited! This will be our technical "before" picture!!
