sick day

Luca is still sick free after 6 months of life, thank goodness, but I am not so lucky. Having never been sick with a child to take care of, I didn't know how hard it could be. Fortunately my dear husband has been easing the burden by taking the night shift and entertaining Luca when he wakes up at 7am.

I had high hopes of posting highlights of our 6 week summer vacation, but instead I will leave you with this picture of what Luca managed to do in the time that I wrote this short blog entry.

3 x 2 = 6

Someone asked us recently if Luca was 4 months old. We said, no he's nearly 6, obviously. Well, it happened to be one of our loyal blog followers who we've let down by not posting anything over the past 3 months. Now today, September 22nd, in honor of Luca's 1/2 birthday, here's a snapshot of his growth and joyful spirit. We are enjoying each day with him as he pushes himself to crawl, walk drunkenly after something shiney and preferrably plastic, laugh until his sides split and share in a windfall of chatter about how he sees the world. Here he is enjoying a moment with fellow "first" cousin Jeff Ellingson.
