froggies

rmd loves "echs" or "ribbits". so he got these little rain booties. he didn't like them at first, but then when he found out what he can do in them... he never wants to take them off!

the great pumpkin patch II

its monday and rmd is fast asleep, getting his rest from the busy weekend. we got to go "partay" for vincent mouse's bday at the pool, then to gymboree for lil ms. jolene bao's birthday! rmd got lots of goodies and still singing their b-day songs even this morning!

on saturday, we also got to go hang out with the phans, phams and a nguyen at the great pumpkin patch, ok, more like the flower mound pumpkin patch but it was still buckets o' fun - rmd got to fill up on kettle corn, pet some horses, see baby elmo, chicken little, and even a couple of super duper cute fairies!

buckets o' fun = bucket o' reiken.





















showing us where elmo was hiding out.














1st hayride!














here's chicken little!














the spirit tree... spoooo-ky!














only missing his john deere shirt.














rmd loved the really friendly horses!

it was a fun morning. now, taking his shadow home with him!

exercise, exercise, this is how we exercise!

been feeling a lil out of shape lately so we decided to do a little bit of exercising.

and if you remember, the last time rmd did any "formal" exercising, chi thuc helped him out some...
(strolling down memory lane time):


here he is now, just a few pounds heavier and a whole year older doin it all on his own!

hawaii '09

wow, its been such a long time since we've posted. so sorry for the delay. we got to go to hawaii at the end of august for 10 whole days! (or "ha-WHY-ee" as rmd would say it). but unfortunately, when we got back, all 3 of us at one point or another got sick. no, no swine flu but it did take us out for a good 2-3 weeks! things have finally calmed down and thank gawd we are all much better now =).

mommy now also has a little bit more time on her hands (but more on that at a later date..), so we're finally able to at least post about beautiful hawaii!

we got to spend a few days in oahu, then got to enjoy almost a full week in kauai. we got to do some "hiking", lots of sight-seeing, ate lots of teriyaki, spam, ramen, and of course got to lay out by the pool and beaches! the kiddos got to feed the koi fish and see lots of "agua". not sure if they'll remember it in a few years, but just in case, we may have to plan another trip soon so that they won't forget =)

ok, i could go on and on, but would hate to bore you all... so instead, sit back and enjoy the recap. its longer than usual but tried my best to cram 10 days into 10 mins =)

lunch with vincent

on sunday, rmd got to have lunch with vincent in a-town. after some yummy banh mi, nutritious "red raisins" and "too spicy" noodles (hehe), they got to run off some of their energy outside. mommy really has forgotten the joy of running back and forth but seemed like the boys had fun!

on your mark, get set.... go!









































here's vincent, who's 2yr bday is coming up soon too. can't wait to go celebrate with this lil one.. such a cute, clever lil guy... mommy would like to bite him one day but vincent will probably start yelling at me so maybe when he's not looking or something..















rmd: "mommy said she wants to bite you buddy"
vincent: "AAAAHHHHHH"
rmd: "what? thats not normal? what'd i say??"

santa claus is coming .. in summer

rmd loves to dance.. and sing when he can. here he is shakin his lil booty with co linda to another classic. we can't wait till christmas!

18 month checkup

yesterday we went for rmd's 18mo checkup! this time, he walked in all by himself. then when told to go into the room to get weighed & all that other good stuff, he politely said "nooo", turned around and walked right back out to the fish tank. haha, how things have changed.

oh, so get this, his head is in the 90th percentile, weight is 23.5lbs (10-25%) and then his height is 29.5" - yup, now -3 percentile... *sigh*... yeah, prolly not gonna pursue the nba now.

well, we then got to go out to dinner at victor tango's... definitely recommend as almost everything we had was really yummy. rmd & daddy also got to enjoy rmd-sized-tacos!
















since we're talkin bout sizes... ur prolly still just as SHOCKED as mommy bout the whole -3 percentile thing ... so wondering how a -3 percentile-er stacks up? hehe, well, here you go...
