But since #2 is coming in the next week or two, or three, I'd better get all of Tai's photos up while he's still the only one in the shot. And as today is the National Day on Writing, it's time to write!
We went to a pumpkin patch in Emeryville last week. Here's Tai doing his "Alvin the Chipmunk" pose (as seen on the cover of the "Alvin and the Chipmunks" DVD).
Tai actually wanted to pet the pig in the animal pen, which was also part of the pumpkin patch. We paid our $3 and got a handful of food pellets. Then all the animals came by. The lamb was soft, but the pig's fur felt "like a broom," Tai said. Pretty good simile!
We had a memorial gathering this past weekend marking five years since Thu's mother passed away. Time does fly. Tai and Ethan enjoyed each other's company all day—running, hiding, riding plastic reindeer. Tai was, quite frankly, a little bossy to his older cousin, telling him to "get on the back" of the deer.
In early September, Julia and Sam hosted a party, which included a little apple picking for the kids in the backyard. Tai loves apples!
We celebrated Silas's birthday on Sept. 18. Three years old, just like Tai.
Later that day, we stopped by Auntie Uyen's house, where Tai became a rock star.
Here's Tai conked out on a Friday night on our bed from I don't remember what.
On a Saturday night, everyone was getting restless at home. So we stopped by a donut shop. The chocolate evidence is on Tai's face!Finally, we don't have a picture of this, but on Oct. 8, we ate at an all-you-can-eat shabu shabu restaurant. After eating several plates of beef and pork that night, I swear the next day, Thu's stomach had gotten noticeably bigger. And not in a bloated way. It looked like the baby had consumed most of the beef and grown. We'll see if the baby has a hankering for beef when he gets older.
In any case, he's punching and kicking and ready to make his appearance soon. Then we'll have to change the name of this blog, among other changes.
