Visiting Family Part 2

Grandparents, aunts and uncles galore! Lucia has a big Southern California fan base.

Visiting the Family

resemblance?

There are so many pictures in our family albums of me as a teenager with this exact same smirk.

I guess Lu hasn't been in the mood to have her photo taken so much lately.

Day of the Dead

Imagine going to a party in your awesome cat costume only to be upstaged in the bathroom by a much more real "looking" cat. Enough to throw any girl into a tantrum.

Happy Halloween

Oh My

Since the last post Lucia has busted out with all sorts of new words, like: wow, oh my!, bike, bath, eggs, Bobby, hot, open, and home. At this rate there will be no way of keeping track but I must say it is nice to have her keeping up her end of the conversation. I always suspected she had a funny way of seeing the world and now I know for sure. Anyway, here are some photos of visiting with the family.

Talking up a storm

It has been so fun lately to hear all the new words Lucia has to say. Suddenly I am realizing that she is really understanding so much of what I say all the time and she will recall things I only told or showed her once in the past next time the subject comes up. 

Some words that she has mastered (with her own pronunciation of course) and says on a regular basis are: mama, milk, agua, cheese, snack, socks, cat, ball, juice, baby, book, hi, duck, nunu (pacifier), sun, moon, flower, more, all done, eyes, dance, sit & off (both usually directed at Niko), side (meaning outside),  bubbles (meaning either bubbles or bubbly water), Nina, Tisha (her 2 favorite friends), night night, bye bye, and "bye bye guys!"
