Fun Highlights

Okay, so by the time I started this blog, Tesshin has grown up to be 5 months. Lots has happened since then. I wanted to highlight just a few moments that are fun to look back on. The first is his first airpline trip up north to Tessho's parents house. Marysville Buddhist Church celebrated their 100th Anniversary so we went up to celebrate. This is the first time he got dressed up for an event. I think this is the one and only time he wore this outfit. The picture on the left is Tesshin and his Uncle Jeff.

Tesshin was able to come with me to work for "Family Day". He was such a good boy sitting on Santa's lap. He was actually so comfortable he started licking on Santa's thumb and eventually turned into sucking on it. He's sitting with Natalie, my friend Wendy's daughter. She's so good with him.

Towards the end of December, Tesshin started to lose his hair. He was like a kitty cat shedding everywhere. He's probably going to kill me for posting these pictures one day but I just couldn't resist. What's up with the one patch on top of his head?! It's grown back in now. This is when we started feeding him solids. I think the flavor of the day was Peas. Yummy! One of his favorites. He surprised me and took to all of the flavors. I started with Peas, then Green Beans, Squash and Carrots. His latest flavor is Applesauce. He attacks the spoon when I give him that. He's cool with Oatmeal vs. Rice Cereal. Yes, I have to admit I've tasted all of them, too. My favorite is the Oatmeal and Squash :o)

Are you ready for me world?

He weighed 5 lbs 4 ozs and was 18 inches long. He surprised all of us and came 3 weeks early. My mom drove up from San Diego that morning and stayed with us through his delivery and then for another 10 days. Tessho'smom came right after that and stayed another week. It was great to have his grandmas here to help out and also spend time with their first grandchild. He had a ton of visitors his first week but he was a trooper and he enjoyed meeting all of "aunties" and "uncles".

Welcome to our blog

Okay, I'm not very computer savvy but I thought I'd try this blogging thing. I think it would be a nice way for all of our family and friends to stay in touch and follow along through our daily lives and most importantly, being able to watch Tesshin grow up and enjoy his milestones with us. He's 5 months now but I figure, better late than never.
