five months

This was a big month for our Luca Loo! Here is what happened:

- We celebrated his first Thanksgiving. My family came from CT and Nashville. It was wonderful all being together, of course. 

- We moved- which means Luca now has his own room. I won't lie to you and tell you that I was ok with that. I sobbed like a baby the first night he slept in his own room. I begged Lee to let him sleep in our room for just one more night. Lee told me firmly, but gently, that that wasn't going to happen. And then he hugged me until I stopped crying. I know it's what's best for us and for him (Luca) but that didn't make it any easier. 

- When eating or relaxing, Luca will sit and cross his feet, he is so proper. It's the cutest thing to see!

- He started really reaching and grabbing for things, on purpose, this month.

- He loooves sucking on his toes. It's his new favorite activity.

- He started to scream, just randomly while playing or laying, he will just let out a really really loud screech. 

- He started laughing hard, a genuine belly laugh. This is, of course, my favorite.

- He is kicking harder too. He especially thinks it's fun to kick in the bath tub.  

- His favorite daily activity has been to lay on his new letter tiles moving his legs like he's running and talking/screaming at the same time. 

- He scrunches his nose up before he smiles, just like my Nana did.  

- He got his first cold, which was awful to watch. I HATE when he is sick. :( 

- You may have noticed in most of Luca's pictures, especially those from his first few months, that his head is always facing in the same direction/in the same position. We noticed it when he was around 2 months old, and we talked to both our pediatrician and chiropractors about it. Our chiropractors are wonderful and have been adjusting Luca since he was 3 days old. They have been working on it, and his pediatrician has been monitoring it as well. He is doing much better and it seems to be almost fully corrected. I will post a separate post on his chiropractic care soon- it is pretty amazing what they do and how it works. 


Here are some pictures of our boy:

Poor Luca trying to sleep with his first cold :( 

Scrunching his nose like his great Nana (my Nana) did.

Uncle Josh graduated this month too! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sitting in my new high chair for the first time! 

Crossing his feet!

Determined to suck on my toes while my mama packs.

He thinks his Uncle Josh is the coolest.

And his daddy? His absolute favorite.

Where does the time go??
