last week, reiken went for his 6-month pedi appt - no, not the fun ones that mommy goes in for at the nail salons either. nope - it was a doctors visit and this time, he actually knew what was going on. once we got into the room and set him down, he looked around at first and then you could actually see the fear overcome his little face as it started to fade to red... verdict: deathly afraid of laying down on that hideous, loud, crinkly paper on the doctor's tables! how could you blame him? he got a whopping 4 more shots and this time the tears starting flowing WAYYYY before the needles even appeared... he even had a stare-down with the doctor (using esp to convince her to skip the shots, but that obviously didn't work). the aftershock was crazy too as he would scream bloody murder everytime he was on his traveling changing pad! good thing he finally started to forget by the end of the weekend!
anyhoo - our pookie's new stats (as of 8/1/08): head size 18.3 (90th %) weight 19.11 lbs (95th %) and now 25.5", yup thats now 2 feet and 1.5" more of our little mcrib!
literally trying to get the heck out of the office
this is before anyone even came into the room!
this is how much crinkly paper sucks!

oh, and thanks chu binh, co bea (who by the way just celebrated their birthdays last week!! hope you guys had lots of fun!) & joshua for the exersaucer - hours of fun!!
this was earlier this week when he "fought his hand and his hand won"
here he is, attempting to sit up after story time!
today is reiken's official 6 month birthday! to celebrate, we had cheesecake and crazy candles! and then tomorrow, its off to the pediatrician and more shots - boo =(...oh well, at least we can enjoy the rest of today! =)
6 months old! how time flies =)
daddy came home this week...
and brought back some goodies.. this you ask?? its my new weapon...
ok, normally mommy tries not to post bout such trivial things but oh well... last week mommy went shopping and got these little pj's for reiken. well, last night daddy called mommy to watch the discovery channel cause it was showing about sharks and attacks and one happened to be in fiji, etc... well, as mommy was watching, they started talkin bout tiger sharks... haha, whatdayaknow...
so its turned out to be such an eventful weekend! mommy & reiken was finally able to get out of the house a lil bit to go have lunch with his rdawg, collin, co endren & cu ct. then chu billy and collin's grandparents came over for a little bit as well. so fun! after we got back home, reiken got to have his first meal of rice cereal... it was yummy! (ok, not so much cause mommy tried some but good thing he has nothing to compare it to - heehee) THEN... while hangin out with chi victoria, chi all of a sudden spotted a grey hair on the top of his almost bald little head! turns out, it was a grey hair - all hangin out by its lonesome! why the stress? we're not sure... guess it can be hard being a baby sometime!
thanks chu ct for the mini-photo session and the new profile pic!! another pic below showcasing the photographer's talents!
last week, mommy was able to feel a lil snag on reiken's gum... and then after careful inspection everyday since then, here it is, just breaking through...
the left one just broke skin... and the right one is following right along...
gettin ready for dindin
now demonstrating his new sittin abilities...
anh tristan came over for the day... reiken had such a good time!
so its a typical tuesday evening and on our way home from work, ms. le suggests we give reiken a trim and that she's more than willing to do it for mommy..."should be real quick" she says...
gettin ready..
ms. jackie then volunteers to hold reiken for mommy so she can take pictures... look at that smile... shoulda known something was up...
mommy and reiken both starts to sense this is not your typical trim
then mommy got called out to the kitchen to take down an addy for ba...
when the cut went bad... "he moved too much and it accidentally got too high on the side" she said..
the point of no return
here they are...yup, the culprits taking off in the rain...
and this is what they left behind... brace yourselves folks...
