Luca and the boyz

Luca got to hang out with some of his favorite Tucson uncles..

Month 4 Highlights

Sorry that we haven't posted in a while. Life is crazy busy. Luca is already 5 and a half months old!! Here are some highlights from Month 4....

Luca had been struggling to learn how to sit up on his own:



After performing some Matrix-like karate moves....


TA DA!! He's figured it out!!



We are crazeeee first time parents...and decided to get canvas as a shrine to le Luca in our dining room--We love it!! (Thank you Judith!) I think he is not so sure....







Also got his high chair--as you can see, Luca has been expectantly waiting for solids. Video of his first taste to be posted soon...

Mother's Day was a bit non-traditional for me, as I got clobbered by a stomach virus that kept me in bed all day. But Luca (and his daddy) were gems....and obliged me by being very mellow and snuggly in bed all day!

Daddy took Luca out for a shopping trip for the first time:

There's been great weather this month- Luca's getting ready for the sunshine with a new hat!

Luca Roll

Luca started rolling over for the first time...

Bengali Baby

Luca knows his heritage (at least half of it)!

Last day of PEPS

We were sad that this past Monday was our last official PEPS meeting. Happily, our group has decided to continue meeting every other week. Here is our last official PEPS photo--look how much everyone has grown!

And, to see the "behind the scenes--making of the photo" here is a hilarious video which shows a bit about what Monday nights are usually like!

Chilly!

Our heat went out this morning, so here's how Luca is surviving while it's getting fixed...

Some Professional Photos of Luca

Luca has a friend Benjamin from his PEPS group; when we went to Benjamin's house, we fell in love with the pictures that his parents had of him---turns out that the pictures were taken by Benjamin's aunt Judith.
Last Saturday, when Luca was 99 days old, we went for an informal photo session.
