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.

Great Aunt Mary sent me a "glow in dark" shirt, it is so cool!!! I love it so much, and the best is it fits me!!

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!

Family portrait

Yesterday was Phillip's birthday. We went to Babies R Us to have our first family portrait taken.

Auntie Theresa's Birthday

Last Saturday we got together for my auntie Theresa's birthday. She was the birthday girl but I was the star of that day. So many people lined up to hold me, I was hot! We had great time that day. This coming weekend is Christopher and my Daddy's birthday. Next weekend is Josephine's birthday, and them Uncle Tom's birthday is coming too...wow... so many birthday cakes I am going to eat! Oh, wait a second, my mommy said I'm not old enough to have cake...how about some ice cream them?
