Much has happened since the last blog. Ronin is now a happy teething, almost rolling, babbling 15lb, 4-month-old. He continues to babble to himself in the morning and he is able to entertain himself in the crib by talking to his mobile or playing with his toys. He is a happy baby. Always smiling if he is not tired, hungry, or bored.
He had a busy Christmas. He was very popular. His presence was requested at both grandparents’Â homes and even at his Tito David’s home in Virginia. So, in the morning he made an appearance at his Grandmother Mo’s place in Tom’s River where he had piles of presents under the tree. He was fortunate to get clothes, diapers, formula, wipes, and lots of toys, lots and lots of them. He took lots of pictures with his cousins, AJ and Avery. He was all decked out in the suit and hat that Mommy bought for him. He was quite the dapper guy. Check out the pictures for yourself.
More pictures were taken at his Lola Lyd’s and Lolo Pop Chris’s place in West Orange. He wasn’t one for pictures though. He will be smiling all day long at the people around him. He loves people (like his mother) but once he saw the camera he stopped smiling (like his father).
His Lola and Lolo doted him all night long as if they don’t have enough of him during the week. Lolo is running Lolo day care and sees Ronin 5 days a week. He doesn’t get a vacation unless Mommy gets a vacation. Poor Lolo : (Â It is Lola that can’t get enough of him. Vin has a hard time getting her to let go of him when he picks him up for the ride back home. Well, anyway Lola loved having Ronin sleep over for Christmas night since we planned to visit Tito David’s the next day.
It was a long drive to Virginia. With the rain and all the holiday travelers the ride was alot longer than it should have been but Ronin handled it well compared to his parents. It was a tiring trip but it was great to see Tito David, Tita Vinh, Tito Gino, Tita Lisa, Lola Luth, Lolo Hermie, Tita Shirley, Lulu, and especially Tito Vince who came from Hong Kong. Ronin charmed all the guests. Of course, he got more gifts there as well.
He also got a cold there. He is a bit congested and he doesn’t eat as much. Just more often. He also has a hard time getting to sleep and staying asleep. Despite being uncomfortable he continues to be happy and he enjoys playing peek-a-boo with mommy and daddy. He still is a big bellied bouncing baby boy : )
