11 MONTHS!

I can't believe Luca is 11 months today! Where has the time gone. This weekend was a reality check to me. My little fat baby is no longer a tiny baby and is no longer my chubby pig. He has slimmed out a lot (it's breaking my heart) and has grown into a baby-toddler. He loves walking along the coffee table and with his walking toy. He really likes to push the limits and often times lets go and stands for a bit before falling on his behind.

His top two teeth are coming in strong and he likes to bite his food now. He'll take a tiny goldfish and bite it in half, chew one piece then the other. It's adorable! He loves pasta, rice and beans... but eats pretty much anything. Although is hating bananas right now.

He truly takes after his papai b/c he loves being outside. Anytime the front door is open, he makes a run/crawl for it! He will scream if he sees you going out and you're not taking him. Quite funny.

He loves the cats and spends much of his time chasing them around and tormenting them. Charlie and Sophie will let him get close, at times even touching them, but Maggie will have nothing to do with him. He has learned the Portuguese word for cat which is 'gato'. Any time you ask him where the gato is, he will look around until he finds them. When he sees a 'gato' he points and says 'ga'. We think he'll be walking and trying to talk very soon.

Just another reality check that he is growing up! Below are some photos and videos from the past two weeks. Enjoy.


So sweet... my two loves!


Luca's new jogging stroller! He goes on daily walks with his dad and I even took it out once to jog/walk. We love it!


At the Woodland Park Zoo




He loved the monkeys/gorillas!


Wasn't too sure about the bird...


The otters kept diving down right next to Luca's feet. He has an otter book he loved so it was cool to see them so close in person!


Dad point out the big brown bears!


Chillin


It's hard to see but the penguins swim right up to the glass... you can practically touch them.

Luca walking the walk!
