Duncan: 30 Weeks Old

Dear Duncan,

You are 30 weeks old today! It sure has been going by so fast. Before we know it, our little baby is going to be a mobile moving wrecking machine. Good grief! How can you be 30 weeks already?!

This week was filled with more fun, some sight-seeing, and lots of sadness as your Ong Ba Ngoai headed back to Vietnam on Monday night. It was SO hard to say goodbye to them and they were SO sad to be leaving us, especially you. They loved playing with you and holding you every day. It was so wonderful having them here with us! We are really going to miss them. :(

I hope they will be back to visit again soon and I hope that you remember how much they adore you. Mommy can't remember how many times she had to remind them that you do need to be set down to play at least SOME time during the day. :) It was so fun to watch you give them your biggest smiles and loudest squeals of delight every single day. I think you adored them as much as they did you!

This week, you are doing a lot of moving around! You go from tummy to hands & knees easily and love to do it all the time. You scoot, turn, spin, and roll yourself all over your play mat. You also started rocking back and forth now when you are on your hands and knees. I think crawling is coming soon! I hope we're ready...  :P

Then, when you are finished playing and moving about, you simply collapse in a heap to let me know that you are ready to go take a nap:

This week:
-  Your awesome hair is getting super long on top! It's hilarious!
-  You LOVE butternut squash, apples, & Korean pears!
-  You slept for 10 hrs at night for the first time ever. So awesome!
-  You rode in your stroller without the car seat for the first time.
    You seemed to like it alright, until a lady came to say hi to you and
    you started crying. :P
-  You've tried to get yourself to sitting position from hands & knees
    a couple times. Keep it up, buddy!
-  You fussed a lot on the way to the airport to drop off Ong Ba Ngoai.
    I think you didn't want them to go. And it was very late. :P

Thanks for another fun week, little man! It's just us this week, but we've got our favorite London buddies coming to see us on Friday. Should be a blast! Love you more than you could ever know, punkin.

Love,
Mommy
