New Camera and More Milestones

Sometimes you see other blogger's post and just think, yeah, he's described my feelings about little man Gage just perfectly. Take a look at the post and enjoy the read.

So - the last few posts on the blog have been somewhat light on pictures of the little man because I'm currently on the hunt for a new camera. I just ordered a new one this morning, from Circuit City, so it's just a matter of time before new pictures of the stinker is posted.

There were a couple of new milestones this morning that just got me excited. First and foremost, as we drove by Daddy's favorite place in the whole wide world, the little man pointed it out and said something that just about made my year - "Oh Daddy look, BEST BUY". I nearly pulled over and walked into the store - too bad it was 7:30 in the a.m...

The other milestone was registration for daycare. I visited the local Children's Lighthouse and was anxious about transitioning Gage into the place, after two years with my mom. Based on the first 2 minutes, I'm not even slightly worried. Not only did he want to make friends, but he started showing off, like usual, and made a few fans with the staff members. The first day of class - July 9 - the countdown begans...

Swimming Pool

Those two words have been Gage's favorite since he was first introduced to it. We bought a small backyard pool with an inflatable slide from Target a few weeks ago and since then, not a week goes by that Gage hasn't used it. With the community pool now open, Xuan's been taking the little man there and they usually don't leave without having been there for at least 2 hours. He's become somewhat of a dare-devil and actually likes to use the big pool because he can't dive into the baby pool anymore.

This weekend was fairly busy, as Xuan's cousin, Tran, and her husband, Dejim, came for a visit with their two year, Caden. Check out their blog on the side. We hit the pool on Friday night and then yesterday with Colleen and Tiffany. We were lucky enough to get invited over to Tran's parents house on Saturday night and got to enjoy some of her mom's amazing cooking. Gage even ate for an hour straight and actually has gotten really good with chopsticks as he at Pho noodles by himself.

Anyway, I haven't been able to add any pictures lately because my camera's currently being repaired. Xuan took the camera to New York, in fine working condition, and returned it in exactly the opposite condition. As soon as I get the camera back from Canon, I'll post some new pictures for all to see.
