Halloween Party with my friends

HI Guys - Today my mom hosted the Mom's group she's a part of (I like to think of it as a babies group if you ask me...) Most of the babies dressed up or wore some halloween attire...it was pretty fun...even more fun was watching all the moms try to put us on my couch!  This second picture is of me with my three new girlfriends...yeah, I'm a pretty lucky monkey.

I'm going to another party later this week - I'm sure I'll find some more friends there too to have my picture taken with.

My halloween costume, first trip to the Barking Dog and more....

Hi Everyone - this has been a HUGE week for me and it is only Wednesday.  I had my first trip to the Barking Dog on Sunday night with my friends from New York and my friends from down the street (Lisa, Tyler, Dan, Eliza and Marta).  Then I snuggled with Dad and Bailey and then I got my Halloween costume with mom - I'm going as a Sock Monkey.  I tried it out today...try not to just die from the cuteness please!  Be sure to watch my video.

Love - Luca

Two months old in my Swimming Trunks!

HI Friends - I just had my 2 month Dr.'s apt today and here are my stats: 14 lbs 11 oz, 24 inches tall - I'm in the 95 % of all babies my age!  Wow - I am BIG!!  So why in swimming trunks you ask?  Well, my mom bought these for me, but sadly, I'm pretty much grown out of them and we never got a nice day to go swimming!  So - we decided to have a photo shoot instead... I'm pretty cute, I know.  My mom should have known there would not be much use for swimmin' trunks in Seattle anyway....oh well!  I just had a bunch of shots, so I'm going to take a long nap now....

My Canadian Travels

Hi Friends! I had a great time on my trip to Canada.  I met my Great Grandma (Grams) and lots more of my Dad's family and friends.  My Uncle Ben had a party just for me and invited lots of nice people.  Me and my Yaya ran our very first 8K Road Race and we had a great Turkey dinner - yummy! I was very very good for my mom and dad on the trip up and back and I slept like a dream while we were there.  However, since we've been back home, I've been a bit of a fusser for my mom all week!  I did discover my doggie Bailey this week.  She is so fun to look at with her black and white fur - she always tries to lick me, but my mom tells her not to.  

I'll write more again soon!

Love, Luca

Going to start the Holiday Season in Canada - Yay!

Hi Everyone ! 

We're off to Victoria this weekend to meet all of my Dad's friends and family.  It is Thanksgiving in Canada on Monday so that means it is time to start eating and not stop until January 1st.  We took Bailey to the Doggie Hotel this morning - we're feeling a little sad about it....she loves going to Victoria, but me and all my stuff take up too much room in the car, so there is no room for her.  Sorry Bails!

Wish me luck at the boarder that the officers do not give me a hard time for not having my passport yet...it will be here in a couple weeks.
