I thought I looked pretty funny:

Deborah asked about me eating my wheat cracker. Here I am chowing down on it (it's really basically a teething biscuit):


Here's my grumpy face:

Day at the Garden

Luca took his Thamma to visit the Japanese Garden in the Arboreteum today.
The scenery was so beautiful:







And Luca had a great time showing Thamma around:






All in all, we had a wonderful day!

Trip to the Aquarium

Luca went with his friends this week to the Seattle Aquarium.
Here is he getting psyched up for the trip with Jenilyn:




They also did a bit of scuba diving while there...


Luca's friends were so impressed by the underwater life...








Luca? Not so impressed.

More foods I've tried...I'm getting better with new foods. I really enjoyed Joe's O's but it takes a while for me to soften them so I can only eat 1 every 5 minutes.

Cauliflower is incredible!!!!

At the Wading Pool & Visting the Library

Luca had some fun at the wading pool with one of his buddies. He had lots of fun splashing around and we had to drag him out of the pool. He also got to play with a dog for the first time, since his friend brought along his Golden Retriever. Luca was laughing uncontrollably every time he saw the dog come near...I anticipate some requests for a pet coming very soon...












Over the weekend, Luca visited the famous Seattle Public Library. It was lots of fun and he had a great time seeing the architecture. We may have a little future architect growing up in our house...



Staring at the all-red hallway...




Watching people ride the elevator






Playing in the Children's section of the library...




Lot's of fun and no doubt we will be visiting the library often in the upcoming years!

Food Log

More food updates - it's been a fun couple of weeks. I really like sweet potatoes - they have such a nice texture. Broccoli might be my favorite now, maybe even more than green beans.

The sweet potato puffs are lots of fun - I learned that if I make a fuss while I am out with mommy and daddy, they'll give me a few. The only problem is that they are hard to hold onto. They also let me suck on the edge of some pita bread as well and that was pretty fun too.

My Food Blog

I've added several new good items this month. Although carrots are pretty terrible, there have
been a few good surprises. First, Asian pears turned out to be very good, even though I didn't like pear juice. Zucchini, crackers, and nectarines have also been good additions. Overall, I am much happier about solid foods this month.

Beginning to crawl

Weekend Highlights

It was a very eventful week and weekend for Luca. Mommy was working every night this week, so he was a little bit sad in the evenings. But he still had some fun with his Dad during the week:




On Saturday, Luca had a new friend drop by to play...







Lunchtime keeps getting messier...








And to top it all off, Luca had a reunion with his PEPS group friends - one his buddies graciously hosted everyone at the beach...


Reunited:






Playing nicely...

Some were especially happy to see each other again...

Our host for the evening...

With a look of menace...

Many of the babies are standing these days...

Smiles for the camera...

A pensive moment with someone else's toy...

Playing nicely, we think....
