Around that time, you were about 16 weeks old and a little over 24 inches tall. You were a tall baby! When mommy took you in for your 4 month check up, they said that you were in the 110 percentile for your height. Maybe when you grow up, you can be a basketball player, like your mom was in high school.
So life has been quiet at home since the Kelina, Ketura, Julius and Jared left. Well sorta quiet since Malia lives at home still, and she’s the loud one. But she’s hardly home so it has been relatively quiet lately.
Well, every Saturday or so, we go to visit Yeh-yeh and Ma-ma down in Buena Park which is about a 40 to 60 minute drive from home. You still don’t like you car seat, so you still cry. But sometimes you’ll fall asleep, if we’re lucky. We feel so bad for you when you squirm and try to get out of the car seat. But remember, tough love. It’s for your own good! And we love you, so hopefully you’ll understand that we can’t hold you in the car. It’s too dangerous.
Yeh-yeh and Ma-ma love looking at you when you’re sleeping and not crying. They love you so much and are always smiling whenever they see you. It’s so nice visiting them. That’s when Mommy and Daddy stop their diet and eat wonderfully delicious food from either a restaurant or Ma-ma’s fantastic home cooking. No wonder Daddy can’t lose weight. But it was also at their house that you discovered Baby Tad…
Mommy, soon realized not to get inbetween you two. Actually, I think you were just teething, not biting her.
Life has been wonderful with you now in our lives. We always have a happy and wonderful time with you around, no matter where we go or what we do. Whether it’s visiting your grandparents, uncles and aunties, going shoping, the Dodger Game or hanging with your sister and her friends. You’re just a fun baby to be around. Everyone says that you’re so cute and love to play with you, whether you want to or not.
But you are loved by everyone who meets you.
One of the things that I love most, is how much you love your mom. You guys are best friends. You laugh at her faces, her noises, and smile so big when she smiles and snuggles with you. I just love seeing how happy you guys are.
And here we are celebrating Mommy’s birthday. Mmmmm… Mommy’s birthday cake was so good and it looks so good now! It was Mommy’s first birthday with you. She was so happy. You looked at that cake with wonder in your eyes. You didn’t quite understand what it was for, but one of these days, you’re going to love blowing out those candles and making wishes.
Well… I gotta run for now. This will be continued so I can catch you up with all of the exciting things that have gone on.
Hello Aslin, you are very adorable and Granduncle Larry and I enjoyed your summer visits especially us trying to get your feet wet in the pool. We look forward to seeing you play in the pool in the coming years (if we still live in this house that is :). We have many childhood memories of the kids (that would include your daddy, BaiBai Daniel, BaiBai Matt and Elder Sister Cayden Ariel)…memories marked by pool activities, backyard BBQ and family potlucks in our home. Youe daddy did a great job on this website and indeed he was right that you and your mommy always looked so adorable when you teo are playing together. While I don’t see you often, i visit your website frequently to check out new postings!
Love,
E-Poh Linda
