Mommy hasn't had time to write any updates about your growth at all. We were so busy with Christmas and moving. Christmas has passed but the move to New Jersey is still waiting for us. Well, let's talk about Christmas 2007 first.
Mommy felt sick last Christmas (2006) because of morning sickness. This Christmas was different. You were here with the family and everyone loves you so much.
We gave a lot of gifts to friends and family. And you also got a lot of gifts from friends and family. Mommy thinks you are the most lucky boy. We let Kun Yai and Gran Jim open their presents the night before we left for New Jersey. They loved the presents that we made for them. One was the Lukie calander. Mommy and Daddy picked the best pictures of you to put in a 2008 calendar as a gift to everyone in the family this year.
On Christmas day in New Jersey, you woke up early but you went back to sleep for 3hours. No one could wait to give you your presents. You were so energized and so curious about all the colorful boxs under Grandma's beautiful, brightly-lit, full-of-toys Christmas tree. Well, that was the best stimulation for you, right?
Uncle John gave you your first Christmas gift -- a Yankees baby outfit. That was just to be funny because everyone but him in the Tumino family loves the Mets. Then came Uncle Paul. He gave you his present and also helped you to open the present. I think Uncle Paul fell in love with you very much already Lukie (^^). Uncle Eddie was a little bit scared to hold you at first but not for too long. He just tried to make you laugh and smile by dancing for you. (Hahaha...that dance was so funny, Lukie, but you still didn't think it was funny enough.) Grandpa gave you such a big toy. It was a truck to ride on. He said he couldn't wait to pull you around on it. Grandma bought you a rocking horse. So funny, you were just not in the mood for it yet.

You liked Jumperoo the best, I think. (This was a gift from Mommy and Daddy.) You just loved to jump and scream. Well, that made Christmas 2007 so much different than before. Soon enough, next year, you will have even more fun than this because you will be able to play and enjoy Christmas with your cousin, a little girl. (Mommy doesn't know her name yet.)
Opening all these presents was too overwhelming for you or something. After 2 hours, you went out like a light on Daddy's shoulder (^^). See, that's why I said it was a lot of stimulation.
We stayed in New Jersey the rest of the week to see Aunt Maria and Uncle John on Saturday. You also got a toy from them. Well, you got so many toys that we couldn't bring them all back to Sag Harbor, honey. On Sunday we left Grandma and Grandpa's house pretty early in the morning. You were so good, not crying at all, so Daddy didn't have to make any stops. We made it back to Sag Harbor in just about 2 hours and 30 minutes. When we got home you were just waking up. Kun Yai was out golfing but left such a cute messege for you: "Lukie, Yai will be right back, Yai went to play golf." (Mommy had to read it for you.) At home you still had a lot of packages from friends waiting to be opened. Mommy has to send them all nice thank you notes. How nice of them!
Well, Christmas 2007 was so much fun and full of happiness. It was really different than any other year, Lukie.
