Standing Steady

Luca is getting steady on his feet...until he falls. But he is successfully standing and clapping at the same time!

Dinnertime antics

I'm sure avocado is great for your face and hair so at least he has that going for him!

Chaos

Matt was snapping my picture to show off a new lilac Stitch Fix tunic I got which shouldn't be too tough...unless you have a dog that craves my attention and a baby that is fascinated by the non-baby-gated stairs and beelines that direction when given the opportunity. So here's what we got. The blurred chaos is apropos for life these days. 

Full of surprises

Before you have kids, people will tell you things like the love for a child is unlike any other, or that your children are your world. I remember thinking, "yeah, okay" but I really didn't think about how that would affect me and change who I am as a person.

So I am still surprised when I get caught up in my love for Luca. Like the fact that I have almost no desire to break Luca of his new habit of waking up at 2 am for snuggles because it gives me extra time with him. Or that I missed him so much at work the other day that I contemplated spending 30 minutes driving to/from daycare to spend 15 minutes with him for my lunch break and then cried when I ultimately decided not to.

I mean really, who have I become!?!

Luca smiling in his sleep because he love snuggling too!

Our little eater (and drinker)

For the most part Luca is a good little eater. He enjoys most things we give him but definitely favors fruits and vegetables over proteins. We mostly just let him feed himself by hand but he is learning how to use a fork. And he's got drinking through a straw and sippy cup down...still working on drinking from a (shot) glass though!

Stitch Fix - I think I have an addiction!

I have to share a quick post about a service called Stitch Fix. I randomly stumbled upon them on the web and was immediately intrigued. An online personal shopper that just mails items to my home? Sounds fun, convenient and fashion friendly! I signed up and have been really happy with the results. They send things I wouldn't necessarily pick out on my own so it's broadening my fashion and really, just so fun. You pay a $20 styling fee to have five items sent to you based on your style profile and then if you keep any of the five, the styling fee is waived. And if you keep all five, you save 25% off the whole deal.

Here's a peak into my latest Fix, which I kept all of for under $200. Score!

Rough and tumble

Luca got his first visible injury yesterday. He was trying to keep up with the two older kids in class and tripped. He tried to catch himself which made the fall more awkward and he landed face first on a wooden step. Learning balance is tough on a guy.

Then to top it off, today at daycare he got bit by another baby. The teachers said he was really tough and didn't cry, just had a look of shock and then enjoyed some snuggles. He's a tough one.
