Joseph's first Thanksgiving

2008-12-04T15:42:00.000-08:00

Joseph is now almost 10 months and had a great Thanksgiving with his parents and grandparents. He ate turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, yams, all mushed up of course and seemed to really like it. Not much fell to the ground for Galaxy!

Joseph now has a total of 6 teeth, is crawling everywhere but really wants to stand up and walk. We're looking forward to seeing his aunts and uncles and cousin this Christmas in Sunnyvale.

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEN

Joseph at 8 months

Fast forward 3 months later and Joseph is now already 8 months old. He has learned to crawl and treks around his play den area really well! He also is teething and has his two bottom teeth coming out. He's also getting a little bit more hair :)

Joseph now weighs 20 lbs. and eats well. He has graduated to eating pureed meat, fruits, and vegetables and drinks out of a sippy cup. I think his fine motor skills are really good as he can pick up small items well and is continually fascinated with buttons, tags, etc.

He's going to be Tigger for Halloween! He wiggles so much that it will be interesting drawing whiskers on his face. I hope to have pictures of him in his outfit up soon.

Joseph is now 5 months old!

JT turned 5 months old this past Sunday when he was baptized by Father Ben who married us. He looked very handsome in his baptism outfit!

Joseph has learned to roll over and is beginning to get the motions of crawling...he just hasn't learned to put it all together yet. He's also sleeping in his own bed and through the night which is great for me...now if only I can stop checking in on him at night and sleep through the night myself!

We had a really nice Fourth of July visiting Bac Trinh and seeing our family. We hung out at the little pool we got for Joseph and he seems to really like the water. We also went to the beach and he seemed pretty interested in the ocean too.

We'll be seeing the pediatrician tomorrow for his 5 months check up and I have a feeling he's going to weigh in at around 17 1/2 lbs. and will be about 27" long...we'll see!

As you can see from the videos and pictures, Joseph is growing very quickly and his personality is really developing! He loves to "talk" to us and his laughter is contagious. Joseph is just beginning to learn to roll over and scoots a little bit at a time when he is in the crawling position. When he is in his activity chair, he loves to bounce up and down. He's discovered his hands are great for grabbing and for sucking.

We recently had him in a wading pool and he seemed to enjoy it once he got used to it. He splashed the water a lot but definitely lets us know when he's had enough.

Joseph now weighs in at around 17lbs. and is 26" long.

Joseph at 3 months

2008-05-31T00:04:00.000-07:00

Incredible as it may sound, our son is now 3 months old! Joseph loves to "talk" to us and continues to be an incredibly good baby! He smiles all the time and prefers to stand on our laps or play in his activity chair rather than lay around.

JT now weighs 14lbs. 10oz and is 25" long. He's quickly outgrowing his clothes and when I shop, it's all for him! James and I love seeing the changes that seem to happen on a daily basis. James can't wait for Joseph to begin walking and I want him to stay as he is and not grow so fast!

JT update!

Just a look of how long he is. (his legs look a bit froggy, don't they?)

Joseph at 2 months

"Time flies by when you're having fun" and it has definitely been fun with Joseph! He is now 2 months old and is so alert and active (arms and legs kicking all the time) when he is awake. At his last check-up, he weighed 8lbs. 11oz and was 21 3/4" long. He'll be going in for his 2 months check-up at the end of this week and we think he's at least 10lbs. now.

Joseph breaks into a large toothless grin at certain times and when he looks at us long enough and seems to recognize us. We spend our weekends going to the park and we can't wait until we can sit him in a wagon and pull him along.

Joseph is now 5 weeks old and James and I are slowly getting the hang of his eating and sleeping schedules. We finally have the chance to create this blog and load pictures for all of you to enjoy. We love all the changes that seem to occur on a daily basis. Joseph now smiles both in his sleep and when awake, makes cooing noises, and seems very strong as he picks his head up when resting on our shoulder!
