Song is ten months old!

Dear Song, today you are ten months. Teething makes sleeping more difficult. You love fruits and vegetables; mango, carambola, longan, broccoli, tomato, acorn squash, beets, watercress. Today you said something that sounded like "broccoli" while enjoying some broccoli. You walk right along supported by boxes. We all sing together when we are walking, a song you made up that is easy to join in and sing along with.ah ah ahh. We are settling into grandma mommy and grandpa david's house in Miami. Today you helped put together the futon bed from Gerry and Steve and wore new socks from Kathy at meeting. You and Ba like to swing, you like to be up on our shoulders and sometimes we dance in the kitchen. You helped knead some bread dough again this month and you love to type on the computer. We have started going tom the library for reading time and you checked out your first library book this month. Clap hands, a nice big board book. You have gotten into the habit of not only reading books to yourself, but also reading them upside down facing outward to show the pictures as they do in story hour. You seem to enjoy flipping the pages of big paper books and also reading Braille along with Ba. You are bold, observant, and expressive. You also seem to have quite a sense of humor. We love you song belong.

Dear Song

Dear song! You are eight months today and you have a little cough, you got through your first high fever this month. You went to the park today and we pushed you in the swing, you were happy to see all the other children having fun. Hannah said bonjour song! This month we are getting ready to move to Miami. We go for walks and when we pass UIC Hospital we say, this is where you were born. You like to touch the bottom of an avocado smoothie cup. You seem to like brown rice and green beans, celery, and crunching on an apple with your two beautiful teeth. Ba is good at dancing with you and holding you up to dance and begin to walk. You like to laugh and we love to laugh together. You were in miami this month getting ready, and you also visited great grandpa landowner and attended Lionel's graduation. Yana helped so much so that we could be there.

from Song!

Happy Lunar New Year!

Song's Great Grandfather Milton is 98!
