Halloween 2010

A baby's first Halloween is a big deal. What do you dress up a 4 month old as? It's hard to be original. I wasn't about to make a costume. So I searched high and low for the perfect costume. My husband poo poo'd my idea, but eventually learned to love it. We were the hot dog family. My sister made Keagan hot dog labels and Tommy spent time smudging mustard and ketchup all over our aprons. We spent time at our church for a mini Halloween party, then celebrated with our friends at our home. He held hands with Wayles for the first time . We then trick or treated around the neighborhood with Kat and Char.

Slawdogs, Polkatots and Auntie Thea

Today we headed out to Slawdogs in Pasadena for a quick lunch. TL came home early so we decided to head out. I ordered the most interesting dog. It was stuffed with peanut butter, wrapped with bacon, and topped with bananas. I can't imagine most people ordering this, but one of my philosophies in life is to try everything (well almost everything) and I am so glad I did. You only live once, right? And who knows-maybe this hot dog will never ever be created again. It was delicious. Sweet + savory=amazing. Thank you to the creative creators at that Slawdogs!

We picked up 6 Polkatots cupcakes. We wanted to share them with Thea. In the past I wasn't too impressed with their cupcakes, but this time around, they were really tasty! We got strawberry shortcake, red velvet, Happy Monkey (a banana cupcake), Lemonade (lemon cupcake with a lemon buttercream), cookie monster (cookies and cream) and Dolcissimo (a dulce de leche cupcake).

Auntie Thea came over to visit. She's been in Italy for 4 months! We are so happy you are home and we hope to see more of you!

Here's to a relaxing night at home. We need nights like this to unwind.

The Keagster

His name is Keagan Masaki Vuong. Where did his name come from? We found it online and loved it. What does it mean? It means ardent. He's a cancer which means he's sensitive and does not like the unexpected.

He's funny like daddy, has eyes like mommy and has a full head of hair which curls in every direction. He's teething, drooling, scootin' around and eating solids and brings a smile to our face every time we look at him. 6 months came up fast.

Splendid Littles

Target has launched a new line for babies! Splendid Littles! I am a big fan of the Splendid line. I own a few of their pieces for my own wardrobe and now they're coming up with a line for the little ones! They're known mostly for their striped pieces. Now the little man and I can match!

2010 in a Nutshell

I haven't posted since we got married and a lot has happened since then. It's been an amazing year. The greatest gift of life was given to us on June 23, 2010. Keagan Masaki Vuong was born at 8:35pm at 19.25 inches. The past 6 months have been quite an adventure as many of you first time parents can attest to. I have decided to try and blog about our adventures as a new family and as a couple beginning in the new year. This will be one of my new years resolutions.
