The Carving of the Pumpkin

Squishing, smashing, sorting the seeds. Pumpkin fun! The only part he wasn't sure about was cutting out the pumpkin's "eyes", "nose", and "mouth." Well, who blames him?? He kept telling me "fix!" and holding the eye pieces up to the jack o lantern.

May the Force Be with You

This year Anthony won and picked the costume. I have to say...we had one cute Yoda.

Stylin'

All dressed up and ready to go to his cousin's wedding in Iowa. And yes, he put the sunglasses on himself. ;)

Mommy missed the wedding, but heard that Luca took over the dance floor! He loved showing off his dance moves (like "big steps"), even if no one else joined in to dance. :)

18 Months Already

Luca is 18 months old today. One and a half years old. Wow.

We had his check up and he did really well. Okay, "he" didn't do really well, but he's very healthy. :) We pulled into the parking lot and he saw the building. "Fish" he said. Yes, Luca, we're going to see the fish! They have a beautiful tropical fish tank with "Nemo" and "Dora". He loves finding Nemo. (haha)

The minute we were called back to the exam room, however, he started pouting and crying. I've never seen him do this! He must have gotten wise. I'm not surprised, he has only there about 40 times since birth. He cried while the nurse weighed him and measured him, even though we bribed him with Teddy Grahams. He was only satisfied once he got the BOX.

Overall he's healthy and doing beautifully. But we did talk about this chronic night cough he seems to have. Right now we're trying to rule out if it's drainage, reflux or asthma. Our pediatrician prescribed him a nebulizer treatment to try for a month and see if it eliminates the night cough. If it DOES, it means he has some type of bronchial inflamation and possibly asthma. Although at this point, the only time it seems to effect him is at night with the coughing. He's never wheezed or had trouble breathing.

So, that's that. Oh and a flu shot and chickenpox vaccination. :(

Weight: 28 lbs, 12 oz (80%)

Oh, this couldn't be worse!


I guess I'll sit here, as long as you bribe me with Teddy Grahams
