Week 36 & Weekly Fun - May 7-13

Week 36 picture -  happy boy!!


Some other cute ones from the week.... I think I take too many pictures of Luca....


He was laying on my stomach, and I took this picture looking up at him:



Enjoying some hummus and pita:


A few more from the Friday shoot:



On Friday, Amelia had her 4 year check-up at the Pediatrician's office:



Her checkup went well, with no concerns.  She's 40.75 inches tall now, an increase of 3.25 inches from last year.  There was only an increase of 5 pounds (to 38), so she's tall and skinny.  50th percentile for weight and 75th for height

On Saturday, Chris and the kids celebrated Mother's Day for me, because Chris was busy all the next day.

First - flowers!


Later we went out for lunch, and I got presents too!

Amelia's dance class had their photos that morning:



Such a cutie!


Later we went to check out a swingset that we wanted to buy:


And then came home and played outside:






Luca and Daddy went for a walk




And then he joined us at the neighbor's house, where Amelia and I were hanging out and playing:


It was a great pre-Mother's Day!

On Sunday, we took some pictures of Mommy and the kids:


Luca was still in his jammies, because the kids and I were leaving to go see my family, and he'd be getting a nap when we got there:


We went to church with my Dad, and then joined my Grandparents for lunch:





Luca was so calm in Grandma's arms, which was great, because she was able to keep ahold of him:


Luca took a nap later, and Amelia and Grandpa hung out a bit:


More pictures outside when we got home:


Luca grabbing Sissy's hair:









"Mama!!!"   He started saying that this week!!



Looking for teeth --- those top two still are hiding!


Not a huge fan of laying in grass:


Here's a cute video of Luca spinning... he is starting to figure out this mobility thing!
