Duncan: 27 Weeks Old

Dear Duncan,

Mommy forgot that we had a post to do last Wednesday! Sorry! We have been super busy playing and eating and having so much fun with Ong Ngoai & Ba Ngoai (your maternal grandparents) that we just simply forgot. :) (And we haven't been online much!)

You turned 27 weeks old on Wednesday, April 18th. What a fun week we had! We were super busy doing a lot of cleaning and shopping in preparation for Ong Ba Ngoai's arrival, so photos were few. But we did manage to find time to have lunch at the park on the weekend and wear you out on the play mat at home, so it wasn't all work and no play. :)

You had a GREAT 27th week! The best part, of course, was the arrival of Ong Ba Ngoai. You LOVE them so much! You were nothing but smiles from the moment we picked them up at the airport on Tuesday and you played, laughed, and giggled with them like crazy. They were so amazed at what a good baby you were on the car ride home. Then when we got home, they were even MORE amazed at what a good baby you are in general! They were so impressed that you just put yourself to sleep when it's nap time, eat like a champ, and go to bed at night on your own without a fuss. We were pretty darn proud of you. :)

This week:
-  We had your 6 month appointment. You weigh 17lbs 6oz, are 26.5" long,
    and your head is 44cm! Huge!
-  You are in Size 3 diapers!
-  You're eating pears & peas and you love them. You do not, however,
    like avocado! :) I love making foods for you!

-  You are doing push-ups like crazy all of a sudden during tummy time.
    I guess you are getting gears up for crawling!

-  You started doing this funny thing when you are tired: you just roll
    over to your tummy, stick your fingers in your mouth, turn your head
    to the side, and collapse it head down to the floor and lay there
    in your sleeping position. Playtime is done. It is hilarious!

Thanks for being such a sweet little guy, Duncan. Every week has been so much fun! I love watching you grow and discover new things. You come up with the most hilarious antics! I'm so very glad that you are getting to spend time with Ong Ba Ngoai. It warms my heart every time you break out in smiles or laughter when you see them. They adore you and I love having them here with us. The next few weeks are going to be a blast!!

Love,
Mommy
