Babyproofed

Luca loves being a prisoner. Hopefully this isn't an omen for things to come.

Tricks

Luca is at such a fun age now, it seems like every day we're realizing that he's figuring out the world. I'm trying to capture as many of his "tricks" on videotape as possible. Here are a few, hopefully more to come (got to learn to get handy with the video camera!)

Giving kisses on command...

Mom's take on pig versus ball:

Dad's take on the same trick:

PEPS revisited

I stole some funny pictures of our last PEPS meeting from Baby Jammy's blog.
Looks like Luca isn't the only baby who isn't headed down the path to AA. All the daddies look so proud to be raising beer swilling spawn.

PEPS is getting to be so fun now that the babies are up and crawling and playing with each other.

Luca is still not so good at sharing. :(

Some more random pics

Seems like it has been a while since our last post. But not much is going on, so here are some random pics.

Play date with Cora. She is getting bigger than him, we think (they have the same birthday).


The Puppy just had a bath...

Watching TV (Thamma, avert your eyes)...

He knows he is not supposed to watch.

Recently, is obsessed with pushing either the stroller or grocery cart.

It's very cute in real life.

Here's a good shot of his new buck teeth. He now has 7 teeth! (2 on the bottom, 5 on top)

Popo and Tai-Po's Visit

Luca loves his grandma so much:

Four generations:

A rare moment of nice weather:

Tai-Po was so happy to see how much Luca loves her!




We miss you already!

Hanging out with Anand Uncle & Shilpa Auntie

Uncle Anand & Shilpa Auntie stopped by to visit with their very cute kids...

LA Baby

Luca came with me to a conference in Anaheim this week.
The highlight of the trip was getting to introduce him to the family in LA.
For Luca's parents, the highlight was eating some mighty tasty dim sum!
Here we all are, after a very yummy meal:





Luca loves his Tai-Po and was so happy to see her again!


Meeting Uncle Jackson for the first time...



Seeing Uncle Joseph again--one has gotten very big since their last meeting, the other has gotten very small!



And meeting Uncle Jeffrey....


Plane ride home, Luca was obsessed with looking out the window...




Here he is wondering why Alaska is charging fees for excess baggage...

Another Trip to the Zoo

This week, I also got to go to the Zoo for the second time, this time with Mommy, Daddy and Thamma. My favorite part by far was the petting zoo---I loved it!

Dad and Thamma also took me in to feed the birds. Here are some pictures taken by mom from afar, who was too scaredy cat to go in with the birds:

Random July Pics

Joanne was fooling around with my crazy hair:



I thought I looked pretty funny:


Showing my puppy dog face to daddy:



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!
