Snow man sleeper

We started dressing Noah in all his Christmas outfits for the holiday. This snow man sleeper is super cute! It's starchy and wrapped around Noah's little fat arms and legs, made he looks like the "Michelin" man... :)

He still couldn't sit straight for long. He likes daddy holding he and watch TV together.

Snowing day

Yesterday we went shopping in Franklin Mill mall. Po Po and Mommy bought a lot of clothes for me! It was very interesting to look around. They all seems very busy and in rush of buying things. I was very quiet and behaved, Mommy said I was a very good baby. It was snowing after Po Po left our house. I miss Po Po very much!

This morning, mommy opened the curtains and wow--there's a layer of white covered on everything! It's my first time seeing snow, and I said "bo bo" with bobbles in my mouth to acclaim the beauty of winter. After breakfast, I sit in my red car and try to drive from the living room to dining room. Well, I didn't really get far because Daddy was too busy to video taping me instead of pushing my car!

Hi Santa!

Monday night, Mommy dressed me up and took me to meet with Santa. I was very exciting and happy to get out of house! It was cold out side but I fall into sleep in my warm seat on the way.

Finally, I saw Santa, he sit in front of a giant Christmas tree, and smile at me. He is very friendly but very skinny. Look at myself, I have way too much food. Man I have a good life!

The big bear and Elf by the trees are as cute as me, so Daddy and Po Po hold me up so I can look closer. I had a great time to meet with Santa, but it was more fun to look at the decorations on the tree. I told mommy to take me back next year, I will have longer conversation with Santa and maybe share my bottles with him.

Noah's first Christmas tree

Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is our "tree day". We went to the tree farm to select Noah's first Christmas tree. Noah was cranky in the afternoon, maybe because his schedule was mixed up by holiday and also he has stuffed nose. It was cold too, he must be thinking in side of his little head--get me out of here! I want to go home!

Theresa and Kenny also picked a tree with us this year. Last year we got the trees together and both of our trees fell down at same night. Can't believe it's been a year already! We will take time to decorate it in this coming week.

Giving Thanks

The family gathering again at Thanksgiving night. We are grateful that everyone in the family is healthy and happy. We enjoyed the turkey and ham fest and also prayed for all of our other family members and friends and wish them a happy holiday.

Happy Birthday to Joseph!

J.J. is one year old!! We got together to celebrate. The food was so good and we were happy to see everybody again. Joseph was exciting and waving his little arms when he saw the candle and the birthday cake.
After dinner, we stayed over night at Fawn's house. After bath, Josephine, Joseph and Noah were playing together. Josephine is a big sister now. She kept touching Noah and said "oh baby baby"! So cute but Noah was just looking around!
Thanks to Fawn of giving us a lot of JJ's clothes. Noah grows so fast that he couldn't fit in 6-month clothes we bought 2 weeks ago. I spent 2 days to clean up smaller clothes and put them away. Now we stocked up 9-month clothes but who knows how long they can last?

A Fall afternoon in Washington Crossing Park

We went to Washington Crossing park this past Sunday afternoon. The park is only 15 minutes from our house by the both sides of Delaware river in PA and NJ. I pass by there everyday on my way to work. It was here that the Continental Army under the command of General George Washington landed after their historic crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas night 1776.


This was the first time we used the baby carrier to take Noah outdoor. He kept looking around and tried to figure out where he was. The cool air and red leaves made this fall afternoon crystal clear just like the scenery from printed calendar.

My mommy wanted to get a picture of the mummy in dark, but too bad the picture turned out too dark. Anyway, we had fun! Thank you great aunt Mary!

Scarecrow Festival

Last Sunday was a beautiful day. Holly, Alicia and her little girl Kaitlin met us in Paddler's Village to see the scarecrow festival. When we saw each other, Holly broke a good news--she and Steve are expecting! Oh Yeah! A baby is on her/his way!! Congratulations! We walked around to see the dog parade, also checked out some cool scarecrows. I was pretty much holding Noah all the time because he didn't like sit in the car seat when he is awake. He was very exciting to see all the "strange" things around him...

We stopped by DQ and sat down for awhile. Holly helped feeding Noah (Good job, Holly! You got practice!) and Alicia treated us ice cream. After that we went through the outlet but we didn't buy anything. Kaitlin was so cute in her little pink jacket and she helped push Noah's stroller all the time. Thank you Kaitlin, you are a good helper!

This is the best time of the year, too bad that Phillip was sick and stay at home (watching football!) :( Hope next year we will come back and enjoy a beautiful fall afternoon again.

Lazy week

This week has been gone so fast! We took Noah to Oxford to "show off" one Monday. We went to the Pediatrician on Tuesday (oh, btw, Noah is 15 lb and 8 oz now!). My dad came over to spend a day with us on Wednesday. We didn't do much on Thursday...then today is the last day of my maternity leave...will go back to work next Monday. I kind of miss work but also like the day spend with Noah at home too. Look at his little face, he is growing so much everyday. My mom said he looks different every week. I just feel he weight much heavier day by day and sometimes I had hard time to pick him up!
