October 2010

Another busy month, filled with:

the pumpkin patch,

a church festival,

Nonno's birthday,

Great Babci's birthday, and of course Halloween!Luci is doing great, as always - keeping us on our toes. Her vocabulary has really seemed to take off this past month. Her favorite words are stuck, Gabi, Nonno, baby, shoe, please, and thank you. She even puts together small sentences like "I want more," "Where are you?," and even "I love you." Of course, these are not perfectly pronounced, but we know what she is saying.

Here are pictures from the rest of the month.

Like Mother, Like Daughter?

I admit, I like to multi-task - but at least I do it clothed.

A little improvising...

Can you tell whose jersey this originally was?

Officially DONE!

Backsplash complete - our kitchen is FINALLY and OFFICIALLY done!

A little humor

What's wrong here?

Room to breathe!

My part time status started last week.

Needless to say - it's great!

I now have time to clean, cook, spend quality time with Luci, socialize a little, even relax -
- without feeling overwhelmed.

Thank goodness for part time!

September 2010

We had a busy month which started with 3 different Labor Day Parties. We are popular people! Luci loves spending time with her family and friends, especially her cousins. She has learned to say "Gabi," but she refers to all the girls as "Gabi." She tries to get out the other names, but they are not as clear as "Gabi."

She now says "nummy nums" when she is hungry. And when she is really enjoying a meal, she says "Mmmmm" while she is turning her finger back and forth on her cheek - it's adorable. She is such a good eater too - especially cantaloupe - it's her favorite!

We had fun when some of our friends came over for an evening with their 2 kids. Mirabella is 3 and Beck is only 6 months older than Luci, and they all play together so well - we have so much fun together. We already have Beck and Luci set up for the prom!

I apologize for my lack of posts - it's just been a busy month.

Here are more pictures.
