a time for thanks

We have been at home in Missouri for Thanksgiving this week and are having a great time. Luca has been having fun getting spoiled by his grandparents and Auntie Rhonda. He is also eating everything in site! The boys brought a deer home this morning. Here are some pictures from our trip so far...

Then...

Now...

One year ago yesterday our genial giraffe was just a baby bunny spending his first night at home. Unfortunately, Luca didn't make it trick or treating last night because he has a little cold and we thought he should stay home. He did dress up and help answer the door in between scurrying to the kitchen to play in the cabinets.

We were able to get a video of Luca taking some steps on Friday. He is doing more every day although he still resorts to crawling when he wants to get somewhere fast.
