Lessons in Vietnamese

Mommy says that I have to apologize to all of my friends and family that read my blog because I haven't written anything for so long.  Truth be told (and don't tell mommy that I said this), it's her fault that I haven't written anything.  I was punished for the last 2 weeks - Mommy told me that I wasn't allowed to write any more stories until I slept more during the night.  I didn't think that she was serious so for the past  14 days I've been sleeping from 10pm until 2am and then once I finished eating at 230am I would try to party in my cradle.  Every night when mommy came home from work I would ask her if I could write something and she told me no.  Well finally last night I went back to sleep at 3am and slept until 515am.  Mommy was so happy and she told me that I'm not punished anymore, so I'M BAAAAACK!!

I am having so much fun with Ba Noi.  Every day she feeds me my milk and walks me around the house.  She hugs me and kisses me so much and tells me how much she loves me.  But she tells me how much she loves me very differently than my mommy and daddy.  She tells me in Vietnamese and this is how I tell her that I love her...

Let me teach you some of the words that I learned:

thương = love (that's what Ba Noi calls me a lot of the time)

ăn cơm = eat rice (that's what Ba Noi tells mommy and daddy every night)

ăn sữa = eat milk (that's what I do all day)

ngu = sleep

tắm = bath

Ba Noi gives me my tắm every night and I love it!!

I'm always smiling now (except when I'm hungry).  Ba Noi said that I have a bad attitude when I'm hungry so I'm trying to be nicer when I want my sữa.

Look at my new chair!  Daddy promised that he would take me camping and bring my chair with us.  I can't wait!

Last weekend it was so nice outside that mommy, daddy, Ba Noi and I sat outside.  I got to wear my superman shirt and mommy let me stand in the grass.  It felt so funny that I had to keep curling up my toes.  I think I like the way the grass feels on my feet but I'm not so sure yet.

We also went to the park with 2 lakes and walked around the big lake.  I got hungry halfway around the lake.  Thank goodness mommy always has my milk with her.

Let's play a game.  Do you know what this is??

Yup - you guessed it!  It's the back of my head.  Ba Noi told me that all of the boys in my Daddy's family have this.  Mommy keeps wondering how she's going to comb my hair when I get older.  My Uncle Adam said that it looks like the eye of a storm.


Do you know what this is??

That's right - it's me sucking on my bink!  I love my bink, but mommy keeps on telling me that when she looks at it close up it reminds her of a colonoscopy.  I have no idea what that is but it must be something really good because my bink is REALLY GOOD!!


Okay - one last video for you to see.  Mommy made this for me to remember what I looked like during my first month here.  I have gotten so big since then.

Well - that's all for now.  I have to go to sleep tonight so that mommy will let me write some more this weekend.  It's a very special weekend.  Tomorrow I am 2 months old and my Ong Noi is flying here from California and Sunday is my mommy's day.
