They say we should cherish our times together as you’ll grow up fast. However, I feel like you’re growing pretty slow 😂.
I know we don’t do as much in our time together as you do with mom, but I’m okay with that. I think we both give each other what we both need, which is some rest and comfort.
And that was enough to ruin your day. I’ll give you a break since you just got back from Denver and over your fever, bur daycare put me in for a real scare when they called.
Guess they didn’t realize that you’re a faker and sometimes a difficult eater. Glad you’re not officially sick and we learned about ears today…
Not sure how accurate this fancy thermometer is, but you feel a little warmer compared to when your reading was higher. Your eating is off and your temperament is whiny.
But you somehow you always manage to stay positive mostly. You were not that positive when Bac Huyen tried to cut your nails for you. It’s too bad Di Angie said she won’t do it. Hoping you’re feeling better, but if not, hopefully better at our dinner with the priest. 🙏
We know you’re not 💯, but we hope you’re still passing (C- or better).
You’ve been doing so well at restaurants that we make be able to have a family dinner out…anyhow, stay strong. We’ll do our best to keep you healthy. #supertrooper
Are you okay sharing travel mail with your mommy? Since you can’t read yet, I think it’s okay. Anyhow, I had to do some printer acrobatics last night to get the picture to print correctly.
I was gonna send a picture of the printing errors, but I didn’t want to spoil the mail. So here, look at my stained thumb from the ink accident. So far so good, hope you have a great trip. We have another one next week.
One of the biggest signs of maturity is knowing when to ask for help. While it’s important to learn to do things on your own, it’s just as important to know when to ask for help, knowing the difference comes with wisdom.
Someday soon we will put you down and won’t pick up again. It’s sounds sad, but it’s good because it means you’re becoming independent. Just remember though, that we and a lot of people are here for you if you need help. You’re never alone.
You will go through a lot of different relationships in your life. Some important, some not. Some long, some short. Some smooth, some rough. You get the idea.
I recently heard that you need that friend you can call when everything goes wrong. It’s easy to be around people when everything is going good. The true relationships are the ones that make it through the bad and the people that are there for you when you’re down. Hopefully those are the same people with you when you’re up.
Today is March 17. Also know as St. Patrick’s Day. It’s also your Aunty Melissa Phan’s birthday. And today’s also your 8 month milestone. I can’t really say that today has been lucky, but it’s also not been unlucky so that’s a win right?
Looking forward to bigger milestones. And ouch you just bit me with your one tooth. But I still love you.
What are you thinking about?
Just staring into the abyss? Does the abyss stare back? It’s too bad we’ll never know what you’re thinking about. Obviously, your brain is still developing, but maybe you know more than we think, but just can’t express it? Well at least you’re happy. That’s good. Stay carefree!!!
It’s probably unlikely that your mother or I will come into a large sum of money any time soon, but I wonder if you’d prefer us as full time parents or do you enjoy others caring for you?
Most of my caretaking involves caring you until you sleep. But I imagine it’s different if it was my only job. You won’t know any better, but I can still dream about being a full time dad as my sole job…
Besides Daddy being late to work, today started out pretty good for the most part. We know now that you can use the nebulizer while you’re asleep and therefore won’t be crying bloody murder.
Unfortunately, giving you meds orally is now a whole new adventure. Since you know now to close your mouth and force drugs out, along with your new teeth, it’s becoming a new struggle. I hope you’ll understand sooner than later that we’re only doing these things because we think it’ll make you feel 💯 sooner.
You finally got to spend some quality time with your Aunties today. They spent time with you at your baptism, but it was a busy day for everyone so this was a nice opportunity.
Like everyone else, they also adore you. You embarrassed us a little with your whining, but otherwise were good. Hopefully they’ll see you again soon.
This guy is you son!! Mom and dad are really sorry you can’t catch a break and that everything we try to do to make you feel better is new and scary for you.
Sorry in advance for the upcoming cocktails of drugs. I hope this weekend will help you heal. We want you in tip top shape for Monday. 😂 and 🙏
I often find myself holding you so you can sleep. It’s never ideal, but it seems to be a necessity if I want you to sleep longer. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to hold you and get a good picture.
Just know, we try our best to give you the best life as possible. I know you didn’t ask to be here, but I hope someday you learn to appreciate life and make the most of it.
Do you know why they call Wednesdays is called Hump Day? It’s because it’s the middle of the week and it’s when you get over the hump and coast towards the weekend. Since you go to daycare regularly, it also applies to you. It means you will only have a few more days at daycare.
I feel like you don’t like any place besides home, so Hump Day is a highlight for you too. Hopefully you and mom did okay this morning. I heard she scratched you, but said you scratched yourself. You can tell me what happened later. See you in a few hours…
We probably already posted numerous times about how thankful we are that everyone we know has taken a liking to you and are all so generous with you.
Here’s yet another example of that. Look at what Kieu’s mommy got you from Viet Nam. Hopefully you’ll still fit it next year for Tet. Not sure what other occasion you can wear it for. Too bad you can’t hand it down to cousin Z. www
Guess what you did today with Oanh? Sleep and play. You live a pretty good life. Unfortunately, you probably don’t know it yet and that’s not your fault. Unfortunately, I couldn’t capture a picture of you too without appearing creepy. So here’s you and your mom instead.
I hope you’re better at being nonchalant than she is. 😂 she’s the worse. Anyhow hope you sleep well and prosper. We have a few things to do today that require your patience.
Sometimes that’s all you can do while you prepare for the worst. It’s okay if the worst doesn’t happen, but you’ll be thankful if it did and you prepared. You don’t want to be caught off guard. Preparation is today’s lesson.
I was prepared to eat ice cream today. So this slight deformity did not impact me because I was also prepared for the ice cream not being uniform. If there as a bug in there, I was prepared to through it away or eat around it. If I ate around it, I was prepared for possible food poisoning. Be prepared.
You’ve got Lucas beat. I hope you keep it that way. Your mom may not think so, but I know so and I’m sure most would agree. That being said,...
