Dearest Luna,
We have all been so busy watching you grow, that we have not documented the beauty of you in a while! Our little girl turned three just a few weeks ago! How did that happen? You are just the most whimsical and spirited little fairy of a girl. We are SO proud of everything you conquered this year and everything you will continue to conquer as you continue to grow into a bigger fairy butterfly!
We worked all year on managing our emotions and "using our words," sharing and being thankful for what we have! You have done such a marvelous job with all of these lessons. You are so articulate now that you simply tell us "Oh I'm feeling frustrated because..." and it's followed by...

Dearest Luca,
Where in the world has the time gone, my little lad? You are just such a little darling boy. We wake up every day and say to ourselves, "How in the world did we get so lucky?" Your natural gift is both your contagious smile and contentment with the world. Poopy diaper? Content. Hungry? Still content. Fall down? Still content. Contentment is such a complex gift that many of us have to develop and yet here you are..teaching us all how to think about the here and now and simply be content with how life unfolds.
You are such a strong little lad. You sat up at the 5.5 month mark and can completely sit for hours unassisted. It seems you are probably going to skip the crawling and...

Dearest Luca,
It is hard to believe you are four months old! You are just the cutest little joyful snuggle baby. When we say you are the mildest baby ever, we absolutely mean it! You very rarely complain or upset and if you are, you quiet down quite quickly! You are hovering around the 50th percentile for height and weight and your head is large (but not as large as your sister's was haha) at the 80th percentile. You are a wonderful daytime sleeper but still not the best nighttime sleeper. You sleep really wonderfully from 8-2:30 and then after that, it's up to fate and chance!
You love to track just about everyone, and you really are the world's best listener. Contentment is your gift and...

Dearest Luca,
We apologize we have not written about your magical soul just yet! It has been a whirwind of a three months and when you have two kddos, it is difficult to find time to write!
Luca-from the minute you came into this world you were the calmest little cucumber. You breast feed like an actual champ and you occasionally whimper when hungry or tired. At three months, you smile at absolutely everything and everyone. Your smile lights up our lives just like your name! You LOVE sucking your fingers, and you may just be a thumb sucker...we will have to see! After some practice, you have learned to enjoy being put in your comfy cozy bed, you like your pacifier and you coo endleslly...

It is hard to believe our one year in LA is coming to a close and Ms. Luna Mae Zhu is 25 months. Truly-where does the time go? This year flew so quickly that it just reminds me how fleeting the passage of time truly is. Luna is our dare-devil, our courageous climber, our loud singer, light radiator and empathetic listener. Luna is two years old going on about thirty. She is so in tune to her own emotions and the emotions of others. She totally comprehends anger, jealousy, love, grumpster dumpster behviors and what it means to have a "no" filled day haha. She will clearly tell you how she is feeling and then give you the why after a lot of practicing and modeling and labeling and discussing...
