Halloween 2011

This year, we decided to go trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. The evening began with a potluck at Tammy & Evan's house (our neighbor 2 houses over). While mingling at the potluck, Linh meets a guy who coincidentally also works at Capital Group (same building that I'm in, different floor). Turns out, he also previously worked for Deloitte...what a small world!

As soon as it got dark, the fun began for both the kids and Linh. Nathan had a great time trick-or-treating with the neighborhood kids and Linh had a great time drinking with the neighborhood adults. Too bad I didn't get a picture of Evan pulling around a cooler filled with beer.

For more pictures, below is a link to my Picasa album.

 Rockin the suspenders.

Fire hydrant to complete the costume.

Matching costumes...who wore it better?

Ryan with his godparents.

Can't contain his excitement.

Why is he taking candy from his own house? LOL

Hello? Anybody home?

Nathan and his friend Hayden.

My Ryan fix

Now that I'm back at work (and Linh is on paternity leave), Linh sends me these pics/videos so I can get my daily Ryan fix.

He does this all day (grab his feet)

 Not into the jumper yet

 

Ready for his morning walk

Up from his nap and so happy

Tanaka Farms - October 2011

We met up with the Lams today at Tanaka Farms and the kids had a blast climbing on pumpkins and running in the corn maze. They sure gave me a workout trying to run in front of them so I could take their pictures.

 It wasn't easy getting both kids to cooperate for this picture since Nathan fell asleep on the way there and was a little grumpy.

The middle scarecrow looks awfully lifelike.

Nathan and his godparents.

Air Nathan!

Having lots of fun with Aidan.

So excited to pose for pictures, LOL,

 

So heavy!

I could not keep up with these guys! I kept having to tell them to run in slow motion, LOL.

Peekaboo!

 

Cute picture of the boys.

For some reason, I really like this picture of Nathan.

Taking a break.

The horn is too loud!

Linh's mini-me

No DNA testing required, Ryan is definitely Linh's son! This picture of Linh was taken when he was about 6 months old (11/11/1976), compared to Ryan at 4 months old (9/29/2011).

Ryan's 4 month check-up

Today, we took Ryan to the pediatrician for his 4 month check-up and Nathan for his flu shot. Ryan weighed in at 15 lbs 7 oz and 24.5 inches long. Below are some videos of the kids before our appointment.

Nathan after getting yelled at by Linh. Notice how he looks into the family room to see Linh's reaction but becomes infuriated when he sees me filming him.

Nathan (repeatedly): "Daddy don't love me"

Ryan's laughter captured on video for the first time.

Kobayashi of seaweed eating. Maybe we should have given him breakfast before going to the doctors.

Ryan's 4 month photo shoot

Ryan turns 4 months old on Monday! Since he was awake and in a happy mood today, I decided to give him a mini photo shoot. For more pictures, below is a link to my Picasa album.

Wearing the beanie that someone at work made for him.

Can't get enough of that cute round face!

I LOVE pictures of baby feet and hands!

Butt shot.

Always sucking on his thumb.

Ready for the corporate world!

Sexy pose with one hand on his knee.

"Who keeps calling me!"

Serious pose.
