Luca's birthday celebration began over the weekend with a visit from his buddy Pierce (that post with pictures will come later) on Saturday. Sunday we went to the Bronx Zoo with Uncle Steven and Julie. It rained earlier during the day so many of the animals were hidden away, but Luca was so excited to splash in every puddle he didn't even notice.
Yesterday Luca woke up to the apartment filled with helium balloons (I rented a tank and we spent an hour filling and tying the balloons Monday night, Gioel was a trooper) and we made special banana/chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. Daddy got Luca a new toy car and Mommy got him a ball for the park - where we spent the rest of the morning in the water fountains, sandbox and out on the grass running and collecting leaves.
After Luca's nap he got a cupcake with a giant "#2" candle on top. We conference called on skype with Nonna, Grandma&Grandpa, Uncle Michael, Tante Judi, Andrew and Justin. Thanks to everyone who called to wish Luca a happy birthday. He definitely enjoyed all the attention!
Later in the afternoon we attempted to drive out to Bethany, CT for the Laticrete party, but the traffic was so horrendous that after 2 hours and only reaching Westport, we had to abort our mission. We decided to hit the beautiful beach in Westport for an hour so Luca could run around and play in sand. He enjoyed this immensely and what could have been a disaster of an afternoon ended up being incredibly fun and intimate. Gioel took some beautiful pictures of Luca in the late day sun. We managed to make it to Pepe's in Fairfield for some pizza for dinner.
Today the birthday celebration stretched out just a little bit more as Grampy came over for lunch! Great to see you Bampy!
