BIG BOY BED, and I'm not even 2 yet

This little monkey decided to start climbing out of his crib. Thank goodness his cousin OWEN just gave him his old bed. Isn't it nice? Luca's still not totally into it yet. He's slept in it a few times. The first night was rough. He cried and was up until 10pm trying to fight the sleep! He finally fell asleep sitting up and I tucked him in and left.
The next day for his first nap in the big bed, he fell asleep on the floor first and I carried him and put him in his bed. Last night he fell asleep in his bed but woke up at 11 and slept with us the rest of the night.
TODAY, I just put him in for his nap and he went down without a fight. YEAH!

PopPop and Aunt Joanne


Cousins Robbie, Mary, Luca and Michael.


Love my cousin Michael.

Hats

If only he'd wear this hat for more than a minute.


I tricked Luca into liking this baseball hat
by telling him that Davis (not pictured)
and Jack (right) wear them!

Watermelon FACES

After a good watermelon slice....slurp


Hilary loves watermelon too.
No wonder she's my BEST friend.
