our two boys

Mason (Sarah's 16-yr old son) and Lucca:

Oh! it makes my mama heart ache.

the elusive teeth

See below for rare photographic evidence of Lucca's two front teeth:

Sampler

Lucca likes to put his mouth on things... here he is sampling our mixer. (just to be clear, I put a stop to this sort of thing. after photographing it.)

And also...

I forgot to add that Lucca has had his bottom two teeth in for a month or so, and they're these cute little baby teeth. A few days ago one of his top front teeth came in, and the other is about to break through. They are giant! Giant grown-up teeth. Poor little guy...

He is obsessed with standing up, wants to do it all the time, whether he's holding on to something stable or not. Hence he crashes on a regular basis, yet he persists.

We're back!

Ok, so it's been awhile since I've posted. And the longer it goes, the harder it is because I feel the need to cover everything that's happened since the last time I posted. So, here are some highlights:

Lucca started eating some solid foods, which he took to like a fish to water.

He became more and more mobile, scooching around on his belly. This picture marks the moment when I realized I needed to start babyproofing the house.

He continued in his relentless quest to be the cutest baby ever.

He played with Nubby.

Again with the cuteness.

We visited New Mexico for Elena and Tarik's wedding (which was wonderful!) and spent some time with all the grandparents. Above see Lucca and Grandpa Chris having a hat meeting. We extended our stay in NM due to the wildfires in San Diego - our house was safe, but the air quality was terrible. During our stay, Lucca officially got up and crawled, and on the same day started pulling up to standing.

Upon our return we had a Halloween playgroup. Get ready for some serious, not-kidding-around cutosity. Really. This is so crazy cute.

Ok, that's it, let's move on. Onward and upward! More to come, I will be posting more frequently from now on. Seriously.
