15 weeks old

Hello world.  I'm 15 weeks old now, and getting bigger every day.  My mom said if there was a way to freeze time, she would!!!   I have discovered my fingers and like to suck on them all day long.  I also put all my toys in my mouth, it's so fun!  I am sitting up tall like a big girl in my Bumbo chair and love to listen to music and sing along.  I sleep through the night every night, but I don't like taking naps during the day.  I love when my dad dances for me.  He walks me in circles around the kitchen 100 times when I am being bad.  I've already been to New Zealand and LA, and I'm going to Seattle for the 2nd time this week to see my cousins Lincoln+Lila.  Life is so good...I think my mom and dad are the coolest!!  I have to go now because I just poo'd my panties and my dad has to change me.  Love, Lucca

her daddy do!

Lucca does New Zealand!

Lucca was a perfect world traveler!   She did great on the plane to New Zealand, and was a good baby the whole trip (minus one afternoon that shall remain nameless!).   Since she won't remember any of the trip, we made sure to photograph her lots for proof that she has been to NZ.  My parents came along to help with Lucca and we had the best time.

As crazy as we might be, we are taking baby Lucca to New Zealand with us tomorrow :)  We quickly got her a baby passport this week and we are ready to make her a world traveler!   How cute is this?

the many faces of LC

Lucca has been showing us all kinds of facial expressions lately.  Such an animated girl!  Perhaps our Lucca will grow up to become an actress.  She's already a star :)  Here are a few of our favorite LC faces...

HAPPY:

SURPRISED!

SHOCKED:

CONFUSED:

sweet baby

Foot Rattles!

We introduced Lucca to foot rattles yesterday and it was so hilarious watching her figure them out.  Whoever invented these things is brilliant.  I was just cracking up watching Lucca kicking her legs and trying to catch the elephant and monkey on her feet.  She didn't quite know what I put on her feet, she just knew she wanted them in her mouth!  

Mom, what in the world did you put on my feet??

HELP ME MOM!!

Yeah!  She reached them!

And here, she finally got what she wanted...to eat them :)

Our Baby Doll

Lucca is 12 weeks old!  She is 13 lbs and 24 inches long.  She got her shots last week and didn't shed a single tear.  Our baby doll is one tough girl.  Of course she melts her mom & dad's hearts, but she also melts her Doctor's heart...it's pretty cute.  He bet us $5 she will stay a blue-eyed girl.  

These are some of my favorite photos of Lucca from the past week.
