Our busy weekend

Luciana had her 1st official photo shoot on Saturday. We had them done by a friend of ours who has a photography business she runs out of her home. Even though Luciana was tired (the photo shoot was at 11:00 am and she had been awake since 7:00am) and was still getting over her cold, she did a great job! I think we were able to capture quite a few smiles.

We'll get all of the photos on Monday but here are a few we got to see early.







After the photo shoot, it was home for a quick change of clothes and a meal then it was off to my sisters house for our nephew Cameron's 3rd birthday party. Luciana was a out like a light from the drive there but then was accidentally woken up by her Papa Eberhardt so she was a little bit fussy (and Papa Eberhardt was then charged with calming her down) :) Other than that she had a great time and even got her 1st birthday party goody bag filled with toys and a book (thanks Aunt Nichole). She loves parties and has had a pretty full social calendar lately!!

Time Flies...

Luciana had her two month checkup today (although technically she's almost 10 weeks already)! She's 12lbs, 10oz (80th percentile) and 23.25 inches (75th percentile).

I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. She loves smiling now and does it most of the time. She also loves to mimic Mike and I so we are constantly making faces and noises with her which she repeats and smiles.
She eats more and more every day and is developing several healthy rolls because of it! Sometimes we think new rolls are appearing right in front of our eyes :)

She's a really happy baby (unless she's hungry and I'm not moving fast enough - note the rolls comment) :)
Smiling, cooing and watching everything around her - every day is something new and I can't wait for the next.

Here are some pics I've been meaning to post.

She's great at traveling (so far) :)

Over Labor Day, Mike, Luciana and I took the train to WI for our friend Vik's wedding. We had to leave our house at 6 am on Sat, travel a total of 9 hours on the train, walk to our hotel and then change and go to the Sangeet (which is kind of like a rehearsal dinner for an Indian wedding). Then there was the ceremony and reception on Sunday and the long ride back on Monday. She did fantastic! Slept, ate and played on both train rides and hardly even became fussy. Mike and I were so proud of her. Hopefully her great travel mode will continue for Jason's wedding in October...

Here are a few pics from our trip.
