Grandma visits NYC

Grandma Ellen came to visit for a nearly a week and we had so much fun! We enjoyed all of our regular activities - music class, trips to the playroom and the bookstore, enjoyed nice weather and played in the park... We also did some special things - like going to the movies to see Horton Hears a Who, a visit from our friend Arlene, and meeting our cousins Debby and Laurie for lunch.

Luca chatting with Grandma

Luca laughing over nonsense

We think he was trying to say "I fooled you!" to grandma, but when she interpreted it as "foo-too" he thought it was hysterical!

A week in Florida

We had a fun week in sunny Florida with all the grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends - we were busy having lots of fun!

I think all the pictures of Luca at the beach are on my mom's camera. Will have to post those later...

Big Swimmer

Just got home from the pool. Luca is really doing well swimming in his new floater swimsuit. Today he was very confident and enthusiastic. He ventured away from me kicking and treading on his own for the first time! He was quite controlled so he didn't even get scared when he realized we weren't touching anymore. He also now can make it to the edge and grab on - not quite at the point of lifting himself up out of the water - but he loves to try.
