More milestones!

I can stand and bounce on my legs too. Daddy is so proud!

Visit from Uncle Chen

Uncle Chen from Bridgewater came to visit us. He doesn't have kids... can you tell? Look how he's holding me. I'm all giggles.

Now that I can eat...

... all I want is Starbucks! Uncle R won't let me have a sip ... I just get to lick the cup.

My first flight -- Fort St. John.

I had my first flight. Mommy did an outreach clinic up north, in Fort St. John. Mommy, PorPor, auntie Arlene and I went... it was like going to camp! We stayed at the hotel across the street from the hospital. Mommy was there each day from 8 am to midnight with visits every so often.

Pictures of the town to come!

Auntie Arlene has never seen such a quiet town. We celebrated her birthday up there.

October is a month of milestones - 5 months old

I've reached many milestones this month. Mommy has been busy documenting everything.







I've found my toes and boy, are they tasty. Even better than my fingers.

Last month, I learned to roll from my back onto my tummy. This month, I've figured out how to roll from my tummy back the other way.




With my arms out in tripod fashion, I can stay sitting up. Sometimes, I lose balance and pitch slowly forward onto my face. Oh well, still learning.




I got my first cold this month. Please stop wiping my nose! The snot tastes yummy. See how I like to lick my lips?





I also got my first spoonful of rice cereal. It's a great mushy toy.... I like smearing it all over my clothes and face. I'll trick Mommy with a smile and then spit out the rice cereal after.


And, yes, my parents are still using the Bumbo on an elevated surface. Luckily, they're smart enough not to leave me unattended in it. By the way, I'm starting to arch out of it. I will escape it one day. GongGong is fast setting up my highchair.


Now, back to the rice cereal. It's slower in my bowels than breastmilk. I didn't have a poop for a day and when it happened....




It went everywhere! Right up my back and nearly out my neck. Straight into the bathtub for me.

I do sleep much longer 'tho. 6-9 hours each night, starting at 9pm! Mommy is so relieved. We're getting more sleep. Daddy too.... 'cause he's not waking up when we get up at midnight, 2am, 4 am and 6 am anymore.



All good.

Can you believe it? I'm at the casino!

Can you believe it?! Tulalip Casino lets kids into their restaurants! We went to the Eagles Buffet for a grand feast after outlet mall shopping. Daddy didn't believe Mommy when she said she could try sneaking me into the casino in the baby sling (for food of course *wink*) . The Premium Outlet mall needs better food options. But casino food will do.





I'm in a casino at the age of 5 months! Love it! When can I roll some dice?

Dinner out!

We went for dinner with Auntie Alice and the whole crew. I was reasonably well-behaved. Not too past my bedtime yet.



Here's Cousin Annabelle and Auntie Eliza. We're all grins.
