Another tooth!

Finally, we've got another tooth coming in (Hai's been stuck with 4 teeth for months now). Last night I saw another one coming in on the lower left side, and I suspect there is a matching one on the right not far behind. That probably explains why he's had some trouble sleeping and napping the past few days!

I haven't posted for a while because Grandma was here last week and we were very busy. I had some long meetings for work and Hai and Grandma got a lot of time to visit together. He's really walking now and starting to say lots of words like "bye bye" and "duck" and "hai" and "mom" and "done". "Done" is his favorite right now because he thinks that's always how he'll get out of the high chair. He tried it on mom and I on Sunday morning before we'd even ordered our lunch at the restaurant... it didn't work quite as well that time, but he did discover he really likes melon - cantalope and water melon (good for him as both my mom and I don't really like it). Last night he ate a whole piece of meatloaf and some of my steak... we still haven't really found a food Hai doesn't like.

It's a good thing he's getting those teeth!!

Hi, Hai...

"Hi Hai"... Hai has figured out that "Hi" and "Hai" both mean "hello" and his name. So for the past 3 days he's been running around saying "hi" and "Hai". I'm not sure he knows the difference yet, but when he looks in the mirror he definitely says "Hai" -- and knows it's his name -- and when I answer the phone he says "Hi".

He's also figured out some body parts - he knows his "toes", "ears", "eyes", "hands", and of course, his "tummy" (his favorite body part).

And according to his doctor, he's a healthy 15 month old!

Love all,
