Las Vegas

Thursday, July 7, 2011 to Sunday, July 10, 2011

Max and I decided to take a trip to Las vegas for our 3 year anniversary. Amanda and Nick came with us. We stayed at the Cosmopolitan, which is the new hotel there. It was decorated very swanky. The first night we went to del Friscos, which is a steak restaurant. It's off the strip but well worth it. We also gambled the first night at the Bellagio hotel and celebrated Amanda's 24th birthday (wink wink) once it turned midnight. The second night we got dressed up and went to Marquee, which is the club that was in our hotel. It was really nice. They had three different areas in the club to please your music preference. The next day, Amanda and I decided to go and get a massage (highly recommend it at the Cosmopolitan). The whole massage experience there was something I never experienced before. We got to relax in this oversized hot tub until you are called to your massage. After the massage, you can rest on these lawn chair beds. We took little cat naps there. After the nap, you can take a shower and get ready. They supplied us with everything from shampoo to a blow dryer to deoderant. The last night, again, we had a nice dinner at Scarpetta, which was also in our hotel and we gambled. Overall, I gave this trip an A+!

Oh and I didn't freak out on the airplane!!!

Little Fish

Saturday, June 18, 2011

Luca loves going swimming, let me correct myself. Luca loves going simmies in the pool. On several occasions, he has taken it upon himself to just jump in the pool. NOT GOOD! Of course, either Max or myself are there when he does it, but still, this kid has no fear. He likes to hold on to the side of the pool and kick his legs or he just hangs out on the stairs. He WILL NOT go in a raft.

17 Months But Lookin Like A 3 Year Old

Tuesday, June 14, 2011

Luca is growing like a weed. He has definitely graduated to 24 month clothing. Hopefully, he will stay that way for a while. I totally and completely love this age. He is so much fun to be around. His personality is developing more and more every day. He is starting to put words together, and he is identifying more things. This month, he started obsessing over cars. I think we have every car possible that there was to buy. I also think that is his favorite word...caw caw caw (car car car).

Tuckered Out

Monday, June 6, 2011

Wednesday, June 1 through Saturday June 4, 2011

We took a trip to Fort Myers and Marco Island for three nights. Max had to work, so Luca and I were able to come along with him. The plane ride there and back was a challenge (I'm being nice with the word challenge). Luca does not like to sit still, so sitting on our laps for 2 1/2 hours was out of the question. We roamed the plane, took trips to the bathroom, and finally got to sleep in the flight attendent's seat. Thank God she had two little girls Luca's age, because she understood what I was going through. The guy in front of us, however, was not so understanding.

I do have to say that once we got there, it was a hundred times better. While Max worked, Luca and I toured Fort Myers. We went shopping, out to eat, and we even went to the Imaginarium. They had different exotic animals (or critters is what they call it). Luca got to pet a baby alligator. From Fort Myers, we then drove through Naples, and then to Marco Island. Marco Island is one of my favorite places. It is beautiful there. The ocean is clean, and the atmosphere is relaxing. We stayed at the Marriott, which was awesome, especially for Luca. They have a zero depth pool, where he played the entire day. When it was time to get out of the pool, he through a major temper tantrum. Oh well! At least he had fun!

Godparents (Kumovi)

Sunday, May 16, 2011

Today, we became Godparents (Kumovi) to Maja Kosanovic. It was such a great day. The christening was at Holy Ressurection in Chicago, where Max and I got married. Maja was cute. She cried a little, but that's because Max held her, and he is kind of scary! Ha ha! As soon as I get some pictures of Maja, I will post them.

I Am Getting Very Sleepy...16 Months

Saturday, May 14, 2011

Today, Luca is 16 months. This age is so much fun, because he is learning to talk, so everything that comes out of his mouth is so funny. He can say tons of new words even right after he learns them. He does, however, throw major temper tantrums, so Max and I are learning new strategies to deflect them. For the most part, he is a really good baby. He is just strong-willed (like his mommy and daddy). HAHA!
