More Babies Please!!!!

I know it has been quite a long time since I wrote a post, which proves how bad I am at this. Writing has never been my favorite activity but I want to make sure to document out lives for us to look back on. =)

Baby #2 Due July 2! 

SOOOOO.... we have some news! We are having another boy, due on July 2, 2015!! We couldn't be more happy and thankful that the Lord has saw fit to entrust us with another child. I am 19 weeks pregnant and I am exhausted. =) I am just SO excited for another baby.






Well, Luca is now over a year old!!!! He is now walking EVERYWHERE and is just so silly. He really is such a fun baby. He has such a fun personality, so serious yet so sweet. He can be so stubborn but also super sensitive. He loves to wrestle with his daddy and loves to play chase.

I love being Luca's mommy, it is WONDERFUL! It's definitely harder now that I am tired and getting bigger, but I wouldn't want to do anything else. I wouldn't trade my worst day for a dream day alone. Luca is a gift from Almighty God. 

We don't have a lot going on except that my husbands work (which is my Dads company) is moving only a few blocks from our house. This means we will be able to visit any time of day! Ha-ha! A short walk to see Daddy, Papa, and Uncle Ian! SO FUN!!!!! I will need to practice self- control. 

Luca loves brushing his teeth everyday with Daddy

Finding mama after bath time 

That's all for now, hopefully next time wont take me 6 months. =)

Thankful

 

 Where has time gone? Luca will be 9 Months old on the 24th and  he's crawling! He doesn't want to crawl everywhere yet, it seems like he doesn't want to work at getting anywhere. Instead, he just wants to be held. Go figure... I have successfully spoiled the boy. Although the holding can be tedious and inconvenient, I know he wont want to be held forever... so I will endure the cuddles and hold him when he wishes. I consider it my weight training. =) He'll stop by age 10 right? 

So here is a brief summary of things we have been up to the last few months:

Hanging with cousins and going hiking

 We went camping with my side of the family to Malibu. It was so much fun... definitely harder with a baby, but many hands make the load light. It was great! Definitely a blessing to be able to spend some quiet time with Amy and Hal before the moved.

Visiting Grammy

        

   

Last Bath at Pelanconi and heres a picture of us visiting Dolores and swimming in her pool.

                   

 

First army crawl... going for a basketball.

Amy and Hal moved to Turkey. This was the day before the left. Lots of tears but so excited for what the Lord has in store for them. We miss them already but look forward to lots of Skype dates!

  
Luca got his first real sickness... some kind of stomach bug. He threw up and was just not himself for about 4 days.

 Daddy's new trick.. Luca loves to be rough and wrestle. He also loves to cuddle with his mama..=)

The BARE crawl

Evening stool with mommy and daddy

 

He is getting so big...

Luca keeps on getting more and more fun. He's so expressive and lets you know how he feels right away. He loves the details of his toys and gets bored really fast. He's sweet with his mama and loves to nurse. He adores his daddy and loves waiting for him to come home from work. We are truly blessed by the Lord. I praise Him every day for all that He has given me since I have done nothing to deserve any of it.

Until next time...

 but for now...I need to go attend to the life happening in Luizzi land...

Summa Time

So I have been a bit busy and have not stopped to write about our life. So here I am, Luca is asleep and I have a few moments to record what we have been up to.

6 Month Dr. Check up

 He is 7 months now and I still can't believe I have a baby, let alone a 7 month old! Ahh!! He is Sitting up all by himself with the occasional falling backwards, he is in the crawling position pumping his hips, grunting and growling and also, diving out of our arms. He is sometimes crazy. =)

4th of July

Our little firecrackers

We go walking every day, Luca loves BOB.

He LOVES being outside

Reese is Luca's favorite person to watch and listen to.

Visiting Daddy is the best! 

Precious cargo!

He loved it!

I actually didn't buy the hat... but I got a picture

Swingin for days at Auntie Ju-Ju's house!

Loving the wind in his face

Bath time with daddy is the best!

7 MONTHS OLD

My angel playing with an angel

Learning how to BBQ

These last few months have been pretty busy but with all sorts of fun stuff. We went on our first family vacation, just the three of us. We went to Ventura and stayed in the Embassy Suites so Luca could have his own room. Another post to come for that. 

I am in a small group with some ladies from church and we are going through 6 different topics that relate to this time in our lives such as parenting, marriage and home management... etc. It has been such a huge highlight this summer, I have learned a ton and have become friends or better friends with ladies from church and I am so thankful for them. 

We are waiting to move into a two bedroom Duplex, our landlord has another property on the other side of town which he has been renovating the last year. Its taking quite a bit longer than expected from our point of view so I have been tested as to whether or not I truly trust God and want His will. It's been sanctifying, although I feel like I fail at being content with His will all the time. I'm just thankful the Lord is patient with me despite my lack. 

My sister and brother in law celebrated their 10 year wedding anniversary while both turning 30 this year. I can't believe I have known Ian for over 10 years... they began dating at age 14. Its too cute. But I am so thankful for both of them. I am always at their house since Luca loves the entertainment provided by Cade and Reese. Soon enough Drew and Luca will be wrestling in the pool too! 

My parents are planing a family camping trip next month so more posts to come about that. Until then, this is Life in Luizzi Land... I wonder who actually reads this.. feel free to comment if you do. I'm just currious.
