Luca made his second trip to the ER late Saturday night. He had been running fever since Friday night but Saturday when it got over 105 we decided it was time to take him in. All his tests came back normal and his fever finally broke so we headed home Sunday morning. He hasn't had fever since Tuesday but he has managed to get Mike and I sick. I think we're all starting to feel better and none too soon. We are leaving for the airport around 3am this Saturday morning to fly to Boston for Christmas, hopefully leaving all illness behind us!
Luca has been sleeping next to me in our bed while I write this post (where he has been sleeping since Mike brought him to our bed with fever last Friday). He just woke up and is alternately laughing and clapping and trying to share his binky with himself in the video above. I guess I will go try to coax him back to sleep...next will come coaxing him back into his own crib.
This child cracks me up. How can he be such a little troublemaker already? Luca is extremely curious and loves to explore everything. He also loves socks and toilet paper and his pets.
Luca is saying hi to everything and waving lots. He is trying to say dog and when he sees his dogs or a picture of a dog he makes a panting sound. I can't get him to bark...yet.
He's also starting to look like a little boy and start exercising his independance. Luca doesn't want to be fed anymore and prefers to do it himself (including being sure the dogs get a snack). He is also not afraid to start wandering while we are in the library although he usually checks to be sure I'm still watching.
Wednesday Mike and I decided it was time to get Luca's bangs trimmed because they were in his eyes too much. Yes, for those who have not heard, I did cry in Walmart as the nice lady trimmed Luca's bangs while he sat in the cart.
