I'm so Thankful...

Sorry its taken me awhile to update my blog. I've been busy playing with Grandma and Aunt Debbie. We had such a happy Thanksgiving. My Grandma, Aunt Debbie, Ong Ngoai, Ba Ngoai, Uncle TJ, Aunt Erica, Aunt Erica's Mommy & Daddy, Uncle Keith, Aunt Keele and my friend Bria joined my Mommy, Daddy and me for Thanksgiving. Everyone shared what they were most thankful for - I had a happy Thanksgiving. Grandma and Aunt Debbie have been here since last Wednesday and we've had lots of fun. Daddy went to Blacksburg on Saturday to cheer our Hokies to victory. I watched at home with mommy, Grandma and Aunt Debbie. I'm a lucky little boy and so happy to have a family and friends that love me so much. Our Hokie family.

Mommy made me wear a shirt and a tie for Thanksgiving.
This is an authentic Amish outfit that the Strongs brought me. Its an inside joke between Daddy and Aunt Erica.
Everyone is looking at me in my cute hat.
Aunt Debbie is making me laugh while Ba Ngoai holds me.

Pretty centerpieces that Grandma made for our table. Can you see the pears? There are 3 of them in there.
I kept myself busy in the laundry basket so Mommy could take a shower.
I'll always be Daddy's Little Pumpkin.

I'm a pro at rolling over now.

I'm a Swinger...

Today, I went to the park with my friends Anna and Chloe. It ended up being a nice afternoon to be outside. I loved the swing as soon as Mommy put me in it and I can't wait to go back. I loved being in the swing.
Chloe joined us on the swings.
Me and Anna loved swinging and looking at each other too.

I have teeth...

Well, its official my two bottom teeth are here. You can feel them, see them and everything. Boy oh boy, I'm getting so big. I can't wait to show everyone at Thanksgiving. Too bad, I still don't eat anything except rice cereal and mommy's milk. This past weekend was fun. My Ong Ngoai and Ba Ngoai came to visit me and play with me. I went to Charlotte on Sunday again to hang out with the Ronderos and my friend Piper while Daddy went to the JETS game. They lost again, I think Daddy and I have given up on them. Oh well, I see many, many more JETS seasons in my future. In the meantime, I have teeth !!!! Can you see them ? - I have my 2 bottom teeth !!!
Just Hanging out with Ong Ngoai.


I'm watching tv, Ong Ngoai is watching me.
Look, my Ba Ngoai and me are matchy matchy in our brown courdoroy pants.

What happened to my Hokies ???

Man, oh Man what happened to the Hokies over the weekend. I was very sad to see the Hokies lose for the first time this season. My weekend started out well, I went to the Holiday Market with my friend Chloe and her mom Abby. Then, I came home to hang out with Daddy before he left for Blacksburg. Saturday morning, Mommy and I drove to Charlotte to go to a baby shower to celebrate Baby Joel's arrival very soon. We were sort of outkasts because everyone else at the shower was a UVA fan ( boo !!! ). But it was still fun to see Uncle Adam and Aunt Jackie. Afterwards, Mommy and I drove to the Ronderos to hang out with Piper, Aunt Hill and Uncle Pat. We had lots of fun hanging out there. We watched the game and were very disappointed. It was still fun though to watch Piper run around. She has so much energy and has so much to say. I need to learn how to walk and talk so I can keep up with her. Sunday morning, Mommy and I drove home and Daddy was already home. We were with Daddy for the rest of the day. I was a good boy until it was time to go to sleep. Daddy had to calm me down and I finally went to sleep. I slept through the night - thank goodness. The whole daylight savings time was really messing up my schedule. Oh boy, I'm about to have some rice again.

I went to the Friedman's baby shower - Here I am with Uncle Adam.

Five Months Old...

Its only Wednesday and its been a big week for me. On Monday, I celebrated my first Halloween. It was so fun being the Hokie Bird. On Tuesday, I turned 5 months old and my parents gave me rice cereal for the first time. It tasted okay. I didn't really like it today - doesn't really taste like anything. After dinner, Daddy and I were playing on my mat and I decided to roll over from my back to my tummy. It was the first time I ever did that. Mommy was busy cleaning up from dinner and missed it but she took some pictures of me right after I did it. I'm missing my Grandma right now. She has been visiting me for the last week and she left today. I can't believe it - I actually did it !!!
I just rolled right off my mat.
My Grandma gives me lots of love and kisses.
Not sure how I feel about rice cereal.

My first taste of rice cereal.
