The one where I have to catch up, again.

Luca has been totally into Finding Nemo lately, thank you Kelly! We need diversity around here, one can only stand so much blues clues and Frozen.  This was the first time I put it in.  He wasn't interested at first, he kept trying to go and play, but then would get distracted. 

Luca is getting really good at drawing O's.  He does it in the air, and on paper! And announces it each time.

Twinners.  It just keeps getting better, I can't wait to see what this looks like when Luca is as old as my dad (3) is in the picture.  

We went out for lunch for fathers day the Saturday before, and Luca got a killer fever halfway through, and so we cut it short and headed home.  A 24 hour bug had been circling the neighborhood so I was hopeful that was all it would be, but it ended up lasting all weekend and then some.  It was so sad, throwing up babes are the saddest.

This was before lunch.  Poor guy didn't see anything coming.  

He had a burst of energy to color some letters for his grandpas--which we still haven't sent because I fail.  

We facetimed grandpa and grandma in Ohio for a bit, a few minutes of joy happened for Luca, but most of it was this bottom picture.

The majority of our weekend was spent on the couch in all day jams, snuggled in blankets with Lucas bear and 2 sips cups--he just loves to hold them--and Harry Potter.  That is all he wanted to watch.

And read.  I promise I don't force this on my child, or make it up.  He makes all of those decisions.  He just loves Harry! 

Thankfully Monday evening he was back to normal, it was a long sad weekend, and I'm glad its gone!

The one with Luca Luca Luca.

Last week after Luca woke up from a nap I changed his diaper and put his shorts back on. I carried him to wash my hands, set him on the floor and he fell over. I just assumed that it was his normal clumsy self and laughed, and then noticed he was pulling and poking his feet, so I wondered if his foot was asleep or something--I picked him up and he kept his legs straight as can be, which I also attributed to his foot probably being asleep. 

We snuggled a bit and then came downstairs and got ready to go. I had to put his shoes on so I set him on the counter, and then noticed his legs. 

The poor kid didn't even whine or anything. He's a good sport. I couldn't believe I didn't notice before that. 

^^this is his favorite face to make for the camera. 

He was wearing these shorts one day--that are waaaaay too big. The slide down quickly. I didn't realize when I put them on. 

But it ended up being hilarious, and watching Luca figure out how to pull them up and down. That is a step up in the world. It's hard to get pants down! 

And obviously they were too big to begin with so they were easier, but still! 

More beautiful rain clouds!! 

Luca loves to go out front and sit on the front step and wave to all the cars the pass, and of course collect his rocks. 

He fell earlier that day and scraped his knee up pretty bad, that was a first for him too! He's pointing it out up there. ^^

One more first. Probably the most exciting for me. Since we have been reading Harry Potter so much and he loves it so he saw the movies and asked to watch one!! 

Of course I said yes. It was a beautiful moment. 

And obviously he didn't sit and watch the whole thing it was like 5-10 minute spurts  that he would watch and pay attention--but that totally counts!! 

Since then he has requested to watch them again. 

I can't get Luca to eat yogurt for anything. I even got gogurts to see if he would like eating it a fun way, but no luck. So I froze them, to try one last time. It was a success!! He licked it and ate a bunch, now if he eats another I'll know he likes them for real. We shall see.
