Our Little Monkey at 7 Months

He has a very cute way of "talking" right now - here is a bit of his own little Luca language (and some cute sneezes)!
We never get tired of going into his room in the morning to see how happy and excited he is when he wakes up...

A Love Letter to Luca on My First Mothers' Day

I can’t believe you are already a half a year old! In only six short months, you have totally transformed my life. I never knew I could love someone so much. Years ago I read a quote that said “To have a child is to forever have your heart go walking around outside your body.” I cannot believe how true I’ve come to understand these words. I can remember how much I looked forward to meeting you one day when you were nothing more than a figment of my imagination when I looked into your daddy’s eyes when he asked me to marry him…then when you were just 2 blue lines on a stick…and when you were a teensy flicker o

I remember being so anxious , excited, and scared at the hospital, but your daddy keeping me calm with all of his jokes and tender touches, I remember hearing all of the surgical speak among the doctors in the operating room and then out of nowhere, I heard your cry – it was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. They brought you over to me so I could see you, then you went with Daddy so they could “de-womb” you, check for all of your fingers and toes, and get you rea

I recall how overwhelmed I was at first with how “real” you finally were. I remember how much I would look forward to the quiet time we had together each morning in the hospital where it was just you and me you would fall asleep on my chest after nursing. I cried whispering to you, “I can’t believe I get to be your mommy!” I also remem

Over the last few months, we’ve really figured each other out.


And I knew that having a baby would mean that I would unavoidably lose sleep, but what I didn’t realize was how often I would willingly lose sleep, simply because I couldn’t tear myself away from you, whether it was keeping you with me on the rocking chair for an extra half hour before putting you down for the night, or just standing over you watching you sleep in your crib for a while before I turned in myself, or even because I kept you on my chest for an entire nap during the day, so I had


My world is truly a better place with you in it - I cannot even imagine my life without you. You make me want to be a better person because I want you to look up to me and be proud of me. You make me love your daddy more because he gave me you. You bring me closer to God because he made you healthy. You make me appreciate your grandparents more because I now more fully understand their love and sacrifices for your daddy and me.



Love,
Your Mommy

Burn The Floor



We were gonna imitate the pose of Anya and Pasha in the picture behind us, but we didn't want to scare the person taking our picture!

Outside Time
Our new favorite thing to do is enjoy a lazy afternoon on a blanket under a tree in the backyard. Luca practices his "superman" pose and we just lounge around as Daisy and Thea hang out with us, too. My original plan was simply to put Luca on the blanket while I started working on cleaning out the storage shed, but it was just too fun to stay with him and ditch the work!

Luca Tony Tuesdays

Tony texts me pictures throughout the day so I get to see what they're up to. This one cracked me up because this is how Dena assumed the car seat buckle worked. It's as though he is thinking, "Whoa, this can NOT be safe!"

Here they are chillin' in the waiting room at Tony's doctor appointment...

hanging out with Daisy, doing her favorite thing, watching people and dogs pass by...

Tony's a lot rougher with Luca thank I am and he loves it! Sometimes he seems a little afraid, but then he just belly laughs, so as to say "Again!"
