Our Little Jolly Snowman is 17 weeks old!

Mason's first professional photo

This was the first professional photo of Mason taken at the hospital.  We currently have it hanging on our refrigerator.  We kept forgetting to place it on this blog but now we can share it with everyone.

Trying to teach Mason Vietnamese

In today's world, it is important for children to know at least a second language.  In school it is mandatory students take a foreign language.  So I am trying to give Mason a head start and exposing him to the Vietnamese language.   I wouldn't say I am an expert at the language in any means...even though I am a certified interpreter at work....

Learning songs with Be Xuan Mai

 Well, I am trying to expose him to more Vietnamese children shows and music.  He will get more than his fair share of the English language at home with his Mom and I.  I just want the best for him.

This was his first time watching a Vietnamese show, he seems to really like it.

Setting up the Christmas tree

A few days ago we all put up Mason's first Christmas Tree.  Mason seems to be infatuated by all of the different colors on the tree.  Next year, we may go for a classic white light tree.  We can't wait until Mason grows up and can help us put on the ornaments.

The first solid-type food Mason tries is....apples!

While at work this evening, I received these photos on my phone from Laura.  I now see why Mason doesn't like the formula I feed him when I come home from work...

Actually, this was Mason's first time trying any type of food rather than milk.  Laura said he liked to suck on the apple and never came close to biting it.  

I am glad we remembered to take photos of Mason eating his "first" solid food.  There's nothing like receiving photos on my cell phone while at work.
