6 month check up

Joni had her 6 month check up last Friday and here are the stats: 16 lbs 26 inches!

Our little girl is getting big!

great news!

The same day Joni turned 6 months, 2 of our good friends welcomed a sweet little boy Kyle. 7lbs, 7oz, and 21 inches! Congrats! We're all so happy for them. Can't wait until Joni and Kyle can start playing together!

gangsta?

Hey folks. I just came across this. I brought Joni into work in January and one coworker noticed she was doing some funny stuff with her hands. She said it looked like she was doing gang signs...haha. What do you guys think? East Side/West Side? Maybe it's one of these? http://www.cracked.com/article_14956_how-blend-in-with-your-local-gang.html

almost 6 months!

Tomorrow Joni will be 6 months! Soon she'll be a toddler and running all over the place. Here are a few pics of her while she's still a baby.

Here's one of Joni sleeping, taken April 20th. She look exactly like grandpa, even down to the hair! (Really, I didn't put her arms like that.)



This one was taken May 16th. Look at that smirk!



This one was taken by Auntie A on March 31st. Seriously, I just can't get enough of that smile. Check out that faux hawk!



I'll post more pics when I have time. Hope everyone enjoyed those.

happy mother's day!

My first Mother's Day was very sweet. Mr. Cao got me a beautiful orchid plant from him and Joni. He also planned a pinic by the Charles! How sweet!! Oh, my brother also got me a large framed picture of Joni. It was a very sweet and memorable weekend. I can't wait until the next Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

i heart photoshop

Hate to brag but I've gotten pretty good with photoshopping pics.

Can you spot the difference?

The laptop in the background is gone. If only I had time to photoshop out the of the mess...

Here's a pic from my wedding in October 2006. (Yes, my husband's a bit drunk but let's not talk about that.)

Can you spot the difference here?

The dude all the way on the right is gone! Seriously, I have no clue who this person is. It might have been a friend of my brother in law but he felt the need to get in as many pics as he possibly could. (Especially if there were lots of ladies in the photo...)

What do you think about my photoshopping skills? Not bad huh?

two kinds of seats...

It's been a little while since the last posting. Last weekend we got Joni two different kinds of seats. A booster seat and another we like to call her pink throne. :)

Joni in her booster seat having some cereal. AHH...nom, nom, nom...

Mmmmmmm that was good.

Here's Joni on her pink throne...

Looks like Joni found some reading material.

Yes, we know it's a little early for the pink throne. My mom's been making a specific sound whenever Joni poops and now when she hears that sound she starts to push! Joni started doing this sometime between 3 and 4 months! Pooping on command! Isn't that hilarious? My mom asked for the potty so I figured why not?

My friend KC came to visit this past Saturday and I put Joni on the potty. Both of us start making that sound and guess what? YUP - YOU GOT IT! We've been keeping her diaper on, just trying to get her used to sitting on her throne. We'll keep you posted on how it goes.
