Happy TET!

TET is the big celebration for the Chinese New Year in Vietnam. Sara doesn't understand it yet, but we plan on teaching her the tradition when she gets older. Next weekend, I am working, but Sara and Gary are going to a celebration for Families with Children from Vietnam. We went last year and had a really nice time. Other than that, we don't have much going on here.

We had A LOT of snow and ice last week and luckily, I was off and not feeling well, so Sara and I were cooped up in the house for 2 days! She was very happy to go to day care on Thurs!!!

Feeling Better

Sara is feeling much better. She had a tough weekend last weekend and it lasted through mid-week, then I got sick. We are doing fine now, though. There is not much going on with us. We are back to normal after the holidays. Here are some cute pictures from New Year's.

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had an awesome New Years. Ours was good. We went to some friend's who have a daughter Sara's age. The 2 of them had a BLAST! They were partners in crime and played so well together. Sara was up until 12:30 which is 4 hrs later than normal!

Today we took her to an indoor water park. She was a little scared at first, but caught on to the fun pretty quickly. Sara vomited before we left and was acting normal without a fever, so we went. She has never been sick before, so I didn't think she was. On the car on the way there, after eating some goldfish, she got sick again (we were 5 mins from the place). She was still acting completely normal, so we decided to try to stay. She was her normal self until we ate. She wolfed down chicken nuggets and then she got sick all over me! Then, she fell asleep on me and said "go play" when she woke up. She was fine the rest of the afternoon, although she fell asleep in the car, but that was expected. When we got home, it was coming out both ends!!! She is STILL acting normal! She wants to eat and then she gets sick and she wants MORE. Poor little thing. Hopefully, she will sleep tonight and be better tomorrow!

Does she look SICK?

Holiday Fun!

We are having a very fun holiday season! Sara had fun with all of her Hanukkah presents and understands the concept of presents. Next year we will have to explain to her that Santa doesn't come to our house, which seems like a very difficult task. We spent Christmas day with Grandma and Papa and some other family for our traditional Christmas Chinese lunch, then we went my best friend Suzanne's house and Sara had a blast with her kids.

Developmentally, Sara is doing so well. She knows her ABCs and can spell her name! She is saying things she couldn't say before, which is kinda sad because our baby is really growing up!!! She is so much fun!!!

Hope everyone is having a great holiday!!!!!!!!!!!

SNOW!!

It has been very cold here in Ohio and this weekend we got some snow. Sara is going stir crazy because she is spending way too much time inside. Not that she doesn't want to go out, we just don't want to take her out in this cold! It doesn't seem to really bother her a bit, though. She does say "snow yucky". I wonder where she got that???

Last week she had her 2 year checkup. She is still a little peanut, not quite 26 lbs, 25th% in weight and 50th in height. The doctor doesn't seem the least bit concerned. She also didn't think Sara was ready to be potty trained yet. Every time I know she is going poop because she hides behind something and won't let me near her, I put her on the potty. She sits there for a while, and then she doesn't go at all. I don't want to mess up her system, so I am going to stop putting her on the potty. She is SO ready though, she puts her stuffed animals on the potty. She even uses toilet paper appropriately, she just won't go, so I'm not going to push it. Here are some cute pictures!!! It's hard to get a smile anymore. Every time I go to take a picture, she turns her head!

She looks so grown up here!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thankful!

We had a great Thanksgiving! It's hard to believe we brought Sara home the day before Thanksgiving last year. It brings a whole new meaning to the day! Sara's baby cousin Ben who is 4 months came to visit from New York and she was in heaven! She LOVED him! She kept saying "hold it, my baby". It was so cute. She constantly wanted to know where he was and what he was doing. It was precious to see them together.

We are so thankful for our home, our health, and our families.

This is the day of the Ohio State/Michigan game! Go Bucks!!!!!
