17 month update

This will be a short one as I can't think of anything to say.
Locomotion: Nothing new here, as Luca continues to run around like a monkey.
Eating: We're so happy to report that A LOT of improvement has occurred this month--Luca has not vomited in almost a month--hooray! He is eating less, but enjoying mealtime more. On Mother's Day, he ate an entire slice of Pepperoni Pizza, what a great gift. Our feeding specialist Jane is helping us to realize how much Luca loves spicy food: favorites are pizza, Aloo Bhajia (a spicy Indian potato snack), cheese and ham.
Talking: Recently, Luca has been very cute with making "non-word" sounds. For example, he will say "Aaahh!" after drinking water or in other funny situations (like if his sleeve is caught on his arm, if I release it, he will say, Ah! in relief). He also likes so say "whoops" when something falls and "bonk" when things bang and WOW when something is cool to him. He also likes to make the sounds of a monkey ("oooo ooo ooo"), snake ("Sssss") and Lion ("roar" but very softly) and car ("Boo boo").
Schedules: We've been a bit off schedule these past few weeks with traveling. Somehow the sneaky monkey has gotten us into a routine where he sleeps from about 8:30 pm to 6:30 am. not sure how he lost the last hour of sleep, I think it is the light, but hopefully he'll sleep more soon.
I guess that's it for now! I'll try to post funny stories later, but can't really think of anything right now...he continues to delight us!
