Scout, Tori Bug & Baby Ben Cheng-Yu

Tori Bug recently told me that she only loved Baby Ben "half". I guess that means that she loves him, but really isn't ready to take the plunge and give up her spot as the baby in the family. BUT today...we had a breakthrough. I caught Tori Bug giving some little girl at the Hamilton Place playground "the 3rd Degree". Apparently the little girl wanted to play with Baby Ben and Tori Bug was up in her face saying, "He is not your Baby Ben Cheng-Yu, He is MY Baby Cheng-Yu!!!" She had her arm around his neck, hugging him up tight. Yep, it was a breakthrough moment...she really does love her cousin.

We had a great day today with Aunt Linda, Scout, Grams & Tori Bug.

Happy Birthday, Grams!

Thanks, Mom, for all the love and support you give. Hope you had a wonderful birthday...so glad Cheng-Yu could celebrate it with you !!!

Happy 13 Months, Baby Ben Cheng-Yu

He is clapping in this photo becasue we just sang Happy Birthday to him. He thinks every day is his birthday.

Our favorite spot seemed to be an appropriate setting for a photo. The t-shirt he is wearing says "Wanted" and it speaks volumes to my heart.

Dear Cheng-Yu,

I thank God every day for you and the opportunity to be a part of your life. You have impacted my life in such a way that I can't imagine it before you. I love you with all my heart.

Happy 13 months, Cheng-Yu!

Love,

Mommy

Forward Facing Fun

Well, it was about time! We finally turned Cheng-Yu around in the car and it has opened up a whole new world for him. I am afraid he will never nap again in the car. He is so intensely fascinated with all the new things he can see. He first ride was to GiGi and Popa's house, I think he was in shock.

Happy Ben Cheng-Yu

I am not sure if this is a happy look or a sneaky one, but it makes me smile.
