Using a Spoon (...Kinda)

"Well, if no one's gonna pay attention to me here, I'll just feed myself, thank you very much!"Here's Luca experimenting with a spoon... :)

Walking!

Over the past week, Luca has become increasingly more confident with his footing, adding a step each day in his attempts at walking - here he is with his first solid set of strides...he even claps for himself at the end :) I'm just trying to figure out why I was sooooo anxious for this to happen?!?! Now he needs a baby crash helmet!

Luca's First Kings Game

Tony and Uncle Raji took Luca to his first Kings game to watch them beat the Ducks 5-3. Daddy got him all bundled up for the night, and got him his first Kings sweathshirt. He enjoyed the game very much but was NOT a fan of Bailey the Mascot...let's just hope that next month's visit with Santa goes a little better!

Toothbrush-Slash-Drumstick

This month, Luca is learning how to brush his teeth with his new "Cars" electric toothbrush. He's actually good about letting me have the first go at them, then he pretty much just swallows the toothpaste and plays with the toothbrush for the rest of the session, even trying it out as a drumstick!

I Can Feed Myself, Mommy!

Blogger is driving me crazy tonight, as I am unable to upload any videos!
Oh well, that's what YouTube is for! Click on the links below for some funny footage of Luca's independent eating and drinking :)

Slurping Up Noodles

Bottoms, Up!

Peas, Cheese, and Pasta Balls

Also, here are some pics of him using avocado as hair mousse :)

Magic Pillow

The pillow I've used to breastfeed has become a "tired maker" for Luca - he has the cutest thumbsucking/cuddling Pavlovian response every time he sees it!
