Dear Luca,
Here we are at 27 months and you are full of new surprises every day. I love watching you grow into this incredibly special little person. You are SO loved. The terrible twos sometimes get the best of you, but this too shall pass and my little boy is growing up so fast! Slow down time! You are talking up a storm. Sometimes I feel like I am talking to a 4 or 5 year old, and people are still always commenting on how well you speak. We went out for our traditional frozen yogurt date on Friday after school and the lady could not believe she heard you speaking in Spanish and English as you asked for your favorite toppings (this time you wanted all things red). I am always so proud when I hear strangers make comments like that. On the way home from getting frozen yogurt you were telling me all about "transportation"...and yes you used that word. You were listing all of the different types of transportation that you know. Last night you were playing with a flash light in the dark and finding imaginary "pattapillars" and you even found an imaginary rattle snake in the toilet! EEEEK! You also ended up in mommy and daddy's bed after a "robot" scared you in your room. Your imagination is growing so much every day! You still love monster trucks, and of course sports. Playtime almost always involves some type of ball. I don't see that changing any time soon. You have also been a little stinker at the store, and you think it's quite fun to run away. And you are getting too fast! This week since we are home on fall break we are working on potty training. It's been interesting so far. You are awfully stubborn, even though I know you can do it! We will keep working...considering you just thought it was hilarious to pee on the carpet earlier. We love you so much Luca. You are truly a gift and a blessing and I can't imagine life without you. Never forget how much you are loved. YOU ARE LOVED.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Luca
Dear Baby Boy,
Can I even call you that anymore? You are growing into such a little man. It was so great spending this last week with you, and I hate to see tomorrow come, but summer will be here soon! You are so funny, and you always have us laughing. You absolutely love singing to toddler radio in the car, which we learned on our trip to Pinetop last week. Your favorite songs remain Wheels on the Bus and Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. I need to catch you singing and doing the motions on video! You and Tevez have recently realized that you can be fun playmates, and playing ball with Tevez always has you laughing. I love watching you guys together. You are also just a sweetie, and when you called out from the backseat today "I love you momma" I turned to mush. I love you baby boy. And you will always be my baby boy.
Love Momma

Dear Luca...
Well baby boy...who isn't such a baby anymore...it's been awhile since mommy wrote you. Let me start off by saying I am so thankful you are feeling better and getting back to my happy little boy after battling pneumonia twice this winter! You are amazing me these days with how much you know, and how much you talk! Every day I hear something new from your little mouth. This past Tuesday you counted to ten in Spanish all by yourself!!!! Daddy and I were putting on your pjs and you were counting the spots on my leopard sweater. I almost fell over in shock! It also brought tears to my eyes. We were so proud! You still need some practice, but I know you are so smart! You also identified the color blue today, and loved the blue lollipop you got after your haircut, and you asked for a blue cup when we got home. Is that your favorite color? I loved having a three day weekend with you, and we had so much fun at a birthday party and playing at the park. You love to be out in the sun just like mommy. I am going to miss you when I am at work tomorrow, but I know you love your school too. They always tell me you are a happy boy and very talkative. I believe that. I hope we get to snuggle and watch some cartoons tomorrow morning before starting our busy day. That's my favorite time of day. Watching Hippa Hippa Hey or Eggbird in bed while you drink your milk. I love you so much, and I am so blessed to be your mommy.

Dear Luca,
I can't believe you are one! Where has the time gone? It seems like overnight you transformed from a tiny little baby into this funny, active little toddler with a BIG personality. You are so busy these days. Climbing on everything, trying to put on every pair of shoes you find (yours, mine, and daddy's) in hopes that someone will take you outside (despite the fact that it's over 100 degrees outside), playing with Tevez (he sure makes you laugh), chasing balls, and examining everything. You know what you want and you are determined to get it. You are a stubborn little boy. Passionate already I know. We have had a lot of fun this summer playing at the splash pad, swimming, and visiting family in Indiana. You did a great job on your first plane ride, considering you were confined to our laps. You are not a fan of being confined. You love to explore and you are always on the move. I know soon enough you will be walking...or you might just go straight to running. You are so close, and I am just waiting to see you take those first steps and let go of our hands. I know you are ready for more independence. In just a few days you will start your new school. I know you will make a lot of new friends and enjoy all the activities. You are such a social little guy, always waving at everyone. I am going to miss spending all day with you, but I know we will have plenty of fun after school each day. We love you more than anything little man, and we are so blessed to have you in our lives!!!! You are amazing! Never forget that.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Luca,
Wow. Turning 9 months old has been a BIG deal. You have been a very busy little boy these last couple of weeks! You are now an expert at the army crawl that you began at 8 months, and you can really move fast! You give Tevez a run for his money! Over the course of one weekend you began sitting from laying, pulling to stand in your crib and at your play table, waving hi and bye, pointing at anything and everything, clapping, sharing toys with mommy and daddy, and shaking your head to music. You are so funny! You are always smiling, and I just can't get enough of your "ma ma ma ma"...even if it's not necessarily directed towards me just yet. I am so proud of how well you have done at your new daycare since grandma and grandpa left. You are always happy when I pick you up, and you love flirting with the ladies at the front desk. You and your buddy Bennett really keep Ms. Debbie on her toes every day, and you are quite the duo. I love seeing you interact with friends. It's too cute. Today we took you to your first class at The Little Gym. You seemed to have a good time, even if you were one of the youngest babies there. You loved the balls, sticks, and bubbles of course. You also got to try out your new pool in the backyard since it was 100 degrees today! You had a BLAST! You really love the water. I can't wait to take you to the big pool soon. You are so full of energy. I can't imagine what the next few years are going to be like chasing you around everywhere. Tomorrow we are going to try out your big boy carseat, and mommy is going to work on some things for your 1st birthday party. I want it to be extra special. I can't believe in less than 3 months you will be a year old. Stop growing so fast!!!
Love You Always,
Mommy

Dear Sweet Baby Boy,
I can only call you that for a few more months it seems. The thought of you being a toddler and not a baby anymore brings tears to my eyes. When did you get so big? This past week I saw two little teeth poking through your gums. Your adorable little gummy grin is about to be replaced with a toothy big boy smile. I cannot believe it. It seems like we brought you home from the hospital only yesterday. Would you please slow down already?! Oh, and then there's the army crawling. All of a sudden you are mobile, and the world is at your fingertips. You can no longer be contained, which means mommy and daddy don't get to relax much (as if we did anyways). You are getting faster every day with your army crawl, and poor Tevez is always trying to escape when he sees you headed his way. It cracks me up when you take off after his toys. As if you didn't have a million toys lying around. Apparently the dog's toys are much more interesting. I guess all the extra exercise is wearing you out, because you have also slept through the night for two nights in a row. Thank you!!! I guess you knew that mommy was starting to get pretty worn out. I can't wait for summer break when you and I can just hang out every day like we used to. I miss that. I hate having to work, and I hope you know that I would much rather be home with you enjoying every single second. I know you are going to love going to the pool this summer. You just love the bath tub. Well, I am off to look for more ideas for your 1st birthday party. Yes, I realize it's over 4 months away, but I can't wait to put together the best celebration ever! But please don't let it come too fast...
We love you baby boy!!!!

Dear Luca,
Right now you are napping peacefully in your swing after almost an entire week of refusing to nap during the day. You are just so interested in what's going on around you, you don't want to miss a thing! We have been spending a lot of time on your favorite play mat, and this past week I even got out a big blanket to put under it since you have been rolling and scooting all around the living room. I have so much fun just watching you explore. I would say we could add letter links to your list of favorite toys now. You could play with those for hours. I hope you enjoyed all of our trips to the park this week. The weather has been gorgeous in the mornings and the heat is finally starting to subside. I love going to the park with you and showing you off to all the other neighborhood mommies. You are so well behaved, and you just love being outside in the fresh air observing all the kids on the playground.
I have one more week at home with you and I am feeling pretty sad. I love being with you every moment of every day. It's so hard to think about being away from you. But I want you to know that even when we can't be together I am thinking of you every second and counting the minutes until I can see you. Even though your daddy and I would love for me to stay home with you, we also know that you will do well at your new daycare. You will learn new things, make new friends, and have lots of different toys to play with. You will become more independent, and the time we are together will be even more special. I know one day you will understand, and you will be proud of me for being a working mom. You will be proud that every day when I have to be away from you, I am making an impact in the lives of lots of other children. You will be proud that your mommy has such an important job.
Every day I hope and pray that God will provide a way for me to be home with you, and I have to have faith that one day he will answer that prayer, but in the meantime please don't ever forget how much your momma loves you.
Love,
Momma

Dear Luca,
I am not sure why you have been so darn cranky the past few days. Are you growing? Not getting enough to eat? Could it be the weather? Are you too cold or too hot? Perhaps you are gassy? Whatever it is, mommy has no idea how to make it better, and it's very frustrating. Listening to you scream for a good portion of the day is exhausting, but I love you no matter what. I only want to soothe you, and it's so very heartbreaking when I can't. You don't want to swing, or hang out with me in the Moby. You don't like to be snuggled (tear), and you don't want to play. You eat and eat, but you're still not content. So little one, if you could just speak up and be clear about what it is exactly that you need, I would be more than happy to oblige and we would all feel better.
Love,
Momma
