Long Absence from Blog

Have been really not up to it to do anything the past month, and even these days. Will try to update things about Xuanie whenever I can.

Migraines etc ….

Xuanie’s starting to have conversations

Waitress: Where is Papa?
Xuanie: Mei Guo (US) house

Waitress: Does Papa call you and talk to you on the phone?
Xuanie: Mama

*************************

I was playing cards with Xuanie, trying to teach him numbers. When he got a “J” (jack?), I said, “J for Johnson.” Then I asked, “Is Xuanie a Johnson?” He said, “No, Papa.”

1st Trip to Chuchk-E-Cheese

A Kodak moment

For me, at least.

It’s always hard to get X. to sleep. Each night, the wind-down time is at least 2 hours, from actually getting onto bed, reading, doing puzzles, yelling, hugging etc etc.

He always says, “Mama hug” and would hold on tight to me. Once I said, “You gotta sleep now. No baby hugs the mama all the time. Do you know of any baby who keeps hugging his mama when sleeping?” It was a rhetorical question, of course.

X., however, nodded and with the little light in the room, I could see he was smiling as if in bliss. Then he pointed to himself and said, “Xue.”

How could I not hug him tight? Awww.
