Mommy was busy showering

Lots of driving this weekend and Mommy did lots of showering. We drove up to Northern Virginia again this past weekend. Mommy went to tea with Aunt Tam and her baby shower this weekend to celebrate the upcoming arrival of Cousin Burch. It was great because while I was there, I got to see lots of my family. I showed everyone how I can climb up the stairs and I can only climb down one step, still crawling, standing by myself, walking holding the furniture, clapping hands and calling for my doggy - Teddy !!! Daddy even took me to Washington DC to see some of the sights and then we met Ong Ngoai for lunch. I was a good boy and slept the whole way there and the whole way back to Greensboro.

Here are two links to watch me catch/throw with Daddy and Daddy helping me walk.

Happy Easter

I hope everyone had a great Easter - I enjoyed my first one. I slept through the night and woke up at 6:15 Easter morning. Then, we hurried to the Sunrise Service at church. I was a good boy during service and at breakfast. I had a little bit of a meltdown at the gardens for pictures so we went home and I played outside while Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa worked on our home gardens. Then, we had our Easter Dinner with Grandma, Grandpa, The Bopps, Uncle TJ and Erica. I got lots of goodies from the Easter Bunny. Enjoying the the Beautiful Easter weather

The Newest Mancuso

I have had a busy last week and weekend. Last Wednesday night, I flew home with Mommy because she had to work on Thursday and Friday up in Northern VA. On Thursday, I had a playdate with my friend Jordan and her mommy. That night, we went to Cousin Tam's house - I met my cousins Nghia and Christina for the first time. I also got to hang out with Aunt Lori, Uncle Nathan, Chloe, Peter and Aunt Debbie stopped by too. On Friday, I spent the day with my Aunt Debbie. She took me over to her friend's house and I made some new friends - Megan and Ashley. After Mommy finished work on Friday, Ong Ngoai and Ba Ngoai drove us to Winchester to see Daddy at Grandpa and Grandma's house. There was a big early Easter dinner on Saturday night. My GG & Pop Pop came over with Cousin Kris, Cousin Clay, Cousin Sydney, Cousin Alex, Aunt Marge, Uncle George, Uncle Bruce and Aunt Anne. Not to mention, Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Debbie, Uncle TJ and Aunt Erica too. I wasn't really feeling like myself but it was great to see everyone. Not to mention - I got an early Easter present from Uncle TJ and Aunt Erica. We haven't figured out his name yet - he's going to be either Buns or Barley. He is super soft and loves to be near me. Daddy built him a very big house but I can bring him out and play with him whenever I want. I heard the real Easter Bunny is going to come visit me this Sunday - Oh Boy, I can't wait !!!


Here is a video clip of me clapping my hands - Pretty exciting stuff !!!




Can you believe it - I got a real Easter Bunny for my first Easter ???

Hanging out with my Ba Ngoai at her house - she watched me go up the stairs and she'd take me back down and then we'd go all the way back up again and again - fun !
Me and my friend, Jordan. We don't look that excited but we are. We are getting to take some naps while our mommies catch up and walk around the neighborhood.

Double Digits

I turned 10 months old yesterday - Yippee !!! Its been really busy and fun since I turned double digits. Yesterday morning, we woke up and I went to get bagels with Mommy and Daddy. Afterwards, we met the Bopp Boys at the Bog Garden to feed the ducks. It was such a nice morning. Then, I came home and played in the front yard, swung on my swing and had some lunch. Then, we drove to Cary and had dinner with the Wursts and Uncle TJ/Aunt Erica. I woke up this morning and had pancakes with Mommy and Daddy. Then, I met my playgroup at the craft show. Afterwards, I went shopping with Mommy - followed by dinner with the Bopps. I'm a busy 10 month old boy !!!

Here I am with Chloe and Anna at the craftshow. Notice, I am playing with a wipe box, Anna is playing with a tray and Chloe is playing with an empty milk container. Sorry the video is blurry again...
