Duncan: 28 Weeks Old

Dear Duncan,

You turned 28 weeks old on Wednesday, April 25th and guess what? We forgot to put up a post again! Haha! Too much fun with Ong Ba Ngoai here, we just lose track of the days! :)

Needess to say, having Ong Ba Ngoai here is the best. They cannot put you down. Mommy has to keep reminding them that you DO need some tummy time and just good old play time by yourself. But it's so cute that they just love holding you and carrying you around so much. Ong Ngoai (grandpa) grabs you up anytime he sees you playing by yourself. He thinks you're going to get lonely, even though are completely happy playing on your own most times. It's pretty cute.

They LOVE you so much! Ong Ngoai totally gets a kick out of your crazy jumperoo antics. He just cracks up whenever you get all wild! And whenever she's not cuddling you, playing with you, or making you giggle like a maniac, Ba Ngoai has been cooking up a storm for us every day and I have to say that I am in heaven. She has been making all my childhood favorites that I haven't had in a very long time. She is awesome!

And really, I don't see that you mind too much being cuddled and carried around all the time. :) Mommy doesn't know what she's going to do once they leave and you're so used to all this attention! :P

It's been such a fun week. We've gone down to Clement Street to do some shopping with Ong Ba Ngoai and you just love hanging out patiently in your stroller. You're a good little shopping buddy! You, Mommy, & Ba Ngoai also enjoy going on walks through the neighborhood or to the nearby shops on sunny days. Ba Ngoai just loves all the different kinds of trees & plants that she have never seen before. She makes Mommy take pictures of everything. Haha!

You are now eating in a high chair and it is pretty funny. You look so short in it! You are such a good eater, though. Ba Ngoai just loves feeding you. She laughs at your antics and you laugh at her laughing. You open your mouth like a baby bird and swallow down everything you're given, even if you don't like it! So cute!

You're really trying to get mobile this week! You do push-ups like crazy, turn your body in circles easily, and have started to lift up onto your knees, too! It's like you just decided one morning that you wanted to get moving!

Or course, you still love playtime with Daddy. He reads to you eery night before bedtime, which is one of my favorite things. You two play so cute together. Last weekend, you had so much fun sitting on his chest, grabbing his face, and trying to bite his nose off! You might be a little terror when you get teeth! :)

Pretty amazing week, buddy. You have been such a joy with Ong Ba Ngoai here! They are still so impressed every time you go down for a nap and at bedtime without a fuss and go to sleep without any help from us. Every time they are on the phone with someone, they are talking about what a good little baby you are, how funny your antics are, and how much you love to eat. :) Uncle Trung keeps telling them that they should have been here 5 months ago over Thanksgiving when you were still an angry baby! Haha!

We're so proud of you, punkin! We all love you more than you could ever know. :)

Love,
Mommy
