Europe 2009
I'm finally updating the blog with Europe and birthday photos. We celebrated Luca's first birthday in both Barcelona and Seattle! He is in the 95% in height, 89% in weight and off the charts on his head. Well, we all knew that, but the doctor confirmed it. Said we will probably invest in custom hats in the future!
Luca still loves to eat. He is going through a terrible biting stage that started when his top two teeth broke through but has developed into his way of communicating. We are working hard to break it as he breaks skin and leaves bruises! He is a happy child, sometimes whiney, and we absolutely adore him! He is becoming such a little toddler and is talking all the time. Not saying any words really but his face is fully expressive... like he just told you a great story. He does say 'ball' and 'ga' which is short for 'gato' the Portuguese word for cat. He loves cats, all animals to be exact.
We had a wonderful time in Barcelona and Rome. I only cried on the way to the airport... but didn't break down in Rome. Although the third day was a bit tough for me... I really needed to see my sweetpea!
Below are just a few pics. We have managed to lose the cord to download the photos from our big camera. So as soon as we find it, or buy another one, I'll post some more.
Barcelona here we come!
Barcelona futebol match!
Swimming in the ocean with Vovo!
He loved the sand... ate some of it too :)
Sagrada Familia... in Barcelona
Goudi Park in Barcelona
La Rambla... super sized drinks. Europe has it right!
A kiss on his birthday from Biza!
Biza, Tia and a friend wish him a happy day!
He loves cake! Check out that gut!
Another gut pic... he's so happy to be full and messy.

The calm after the storm... finally asleep after 15 or so hours of HELL!

Luca's First Birthday!
Luca turned 1 today! We can't believe how fast this last year went and how truly blessed we are to have him in our lives. Don't have photos to update yet but just wanted to post that we celebrated the big landmark today. He is still trying ot get back on this time zone (we all are actually) so he's been a tad cranky these past few days. But he's happily alseep now and can't wait for his family bday party this weekend!
