I love yogurt... and my mom's pink hat!

Helping in the yard...

Pulling weeds :)

Tried to show him to turn the rake around and he simply yelled at me... he seems to be on the stubborn side.

Yeah!

I love finger painting!!!! So messy and fun!

He mostly 'smacked' the paper... but it turned out beautiful :)

So messy

Lots of things to update on. We had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. Luca was into Christmas this year. Not so much opening gifts, but playing with them and the wrapping paper. He loves the outdoors... we are realizing we need to move to warmer climate (for other reasons as well) because Luca never wants to be inside. We'll spend an hour at the park, he'll be so cold and red faced but will throw a tantrum when we bring him inside.

He now has 11 teeth and is getting another molar. He is a bit sick right now so he's not his usual happy self. He is a very sturdy boy. You wouldn't know it from looking at him, but he is now 30 pounds, almost 31. He is like a tank when you pick him up. He's saying many words right now, most of which only we can understand. He speaks mostly in English but understands both languages entirely.

He still loves his daycare although we struggle with teaching him to be nice... he has an enemy there that he fights all the time. They are the best of friends and worst of enemies every day! Enjoy the pics...

Watching Go Diego Go... his favorite show. He'll grab the remote and say Go Dego Go...

Sleeping

Peek a boo!

Saying "Woof" to the dog in the park.

Watching Diego with his new friend, Big Toe (an Ugly Doll)

He loved the tree and luckily had no desire to pull the ornaments or lights off!

Update

Ok I know I've been horrible with the updates. Hopefully the video and photos below will make up for it.

Luca is growing so much every day. He is absorbing so much info too! It's crazy to see how fast he picks stuff up. His vocabulary is getting bigger by the day! He is also signing a lot. Some of his favorite things right now are reading books... and saying the word book, eating (what else is new), dancing to Go Diego Go songs, and talking on his phone. He also loves to dump stuff out. He'll put his toys in a box or bag and then tip it over.

He is learning his numbers and letters... or at least we're trying. He knows 'A' but often times calls all letters 'A'. He also knows 1 and sometimes 2. He is trying to sign I Love You which is the sweetest thing in the world! He loves to wave goodbye and likes to say 'woof' for dogs, although know one but us can tell he's saying 'woof'.

He spends his days chasing our cat Charlie around the house (the other two won't even let him get close) and reading books. He's now 28 pounds and growing fast! He is scared to death of bubble bath, which we can't understand because he loves bubbles! Very strange. He is learning to share and be nice, which has been a huge work in progress. He likes to have all the toys to himself at daycare, just like he does at home. But he's getting better.

He likes hugging and giving kisses although only when he's in the mood. And the hug had better be short... he doesn't like to linger. We are absolutely loving this stage in his life... it is so wonderful to see him learn new things every day and to really be able to communicate with him. He talks to us all the time, full conversations... we know he'll start speaking actual words so as he is so motivated to get his point across. Enjoy and I will do better at keeping his updated.
