Can you believe our sweet little girl is a year old? Doesn’t it seem like last week that Grandma Kim, Grandpa Sean, Uncles Eddy, Jeff, Ryan, Paul, Richard and Aunties Robin, May, and Rathana were all spending Thanksgiving eve in St. Vincent's waiting room until 4am (Thanksgiving morning) awaiting Amelia’s arrival?
Before we talk about November and Amelia’s birthday party, lets talk about October and Halloween. Amelia was the sweetest Tinkerbell the world has ever known! Thea and I took her to Cedar Hills Mall for some trick or treat action. Amelia had no concept of Halloween or candy; however, she did love all the kids dressed up as animals. Her eyes got as big as her cheeks when saw a little boy in a cow costume. Amelia pointed and took off running towards him, when she reached the little boy she had not idea what to make of him. All she could do was smile and laugh.
November update!!! This month has been amazing. Amelia’s little personality is certainly developing. We taught her to make a monster face, which she makes while wrestling with daddy. J Amelia has also learned the meaning of the word "NO". Maybe that's because daddy uses it a lot. When she doesn’t want to be picked up or give something up to daddy, she’ll shake her head and say "No, no, no" and mean it. Amelia loves books, she’ll point to one and say "BOO BOO," when she wants Thea or me to read to her. Two weeks ago Amelia would show where her ears, hair, toes, belly and other parts when you asked. But now, she will only respond when she feels like it. It's the cutest thing when we would ask “Amelia, how old are you?” and she would smile and show you one finger.
Thea bought an igloo tent from IKEA that Amelia loves. The first night Amelia decided her favorite toys and stuffed animals belonged in her tent with her. Amelia’s face is all smiles when she’s playing and wrestling with daddy, piggy or giant bear (courtesy of Uncle Ryan) in her tent.
Thea did an amazing job decorating the house and cooking until 3am to make Amelia’s first birthday one to remember! Amelia had a great time playing and seeing here huge loving family! Even after an hour nap (in her tent) during the party, that night she slept for almost 11 hours. Thanks to all our friends and family for sharing her special day! Enjoy the Halloween and birthday pictures below!

Amelia is a walking machine!!
That’s right folks, Amelia is strutting her stuff all over the place. In less then a week she’s gone from taking a few baby steps to walking across to the room. It’s amazing how quickly children pick up walking and just about everything else you can teach them. Amelia has been a little sponge this past month, learning how tons of things work, especially mommy and daddy! When she takes a big fall she looks to see how mommy and or daddy react. Thea is definitely the nurturer where I play more of the “coach” role. Thanks to Ed and Erin we’ve got a gate to prevent Amelia from venturing too far into the kitchen. Amelia has been working really hard to break out of her “area”. She’s figured out where the ends are how to squeeze her body against the gate and the wall. She hasn’t made it out yet, but it’s only a matter of time.
Amelia is also learning what her boundaries are. Like most baby children she loves electrical outlets. Even though ours are protected she still is fascinated by them. The first "no" is typically just the warning, which she sometimes responds to, but if she doesn’t, she will get the disciplined “NO”. Being a selfish dad, I like to give out the disciplined “No” because Amelia will get a little sad and walk over to daddy and give me a big hug to tell me she’s sorry. (Disclaimer: the disciplined “No” is only used when necessary).
Our little girl has also become such a little love. She loves to give kisses to all her stuffed animals. Her favorite thing to kiss is other babies! Every time she’s around another baby/toddler Amelia has to hug and kiss each one. A few weeks ago while we were up in Seattle, Samuel (Bong Nan and Big D’s little boy) was crying about something and Amelia worked her way over to him and gave him a big hug and kiss as to tell him everything will be alright!
It’s amazing how many times Amelia loves to hear the same song over and over and over again. I’ve probably heard Elmo sing his ABC’s 14,987 times since buying her Singing Elmo this past Saturday. One a super positive note, if she had to choose to listen to Elmo or Daddy sing, I’m about 89% positive Amelia would pick Daddy. There’s no better feeling in the world when your little girl places her head on your chest and listens to you sing while she’s playing. It’s simply the best!!!!
Walking videos to come soon!!!

3/4 Year Post
Can you believe our little girl is almost full year old? Amelia is in her first visible “sponge” stage; she’s learning new things like crazy. My heart crumbles every day as she quickly becomes a little person and less of my little baby girl. Apparently Amelia has been was crawling for a few days for Thea or I noticed, but my mom didn’t want to ruin the surprise. One day after work she placed Amelia in the middle of the living room and told me to flick the door stop. When Amelia heard the sound of the spring vibrating she darted straight for it. My ticker skipped a beat and I filled with excitement watching her motor across the floor. Having a mobile child sure changes how you look at your living room!!! We’re constantly moving chairs and ottomans to block things around the living room.
Crawling stopped my heart, but when Amelia screams “DADDY” (yes Daddy, not dada or dad or da da da da, but the full word Daddy) my heart implodes! Unfortunately Amelia doesn’t just come out and say Daddy when I walk in the room yet. To get her talking I’ve got to butter her up a bit by playing and laughing with her. After a few minutes of playing she’ll try to say anything. We’re working on “please”, “thanks you” and ofcourse “Mommy” :-)
Here are a few other “tricks” Amelia does these days:
• Point at each finger as you count to 5 in English and Cambodian
• Combs her hair
• Says Ke when she sees a cat, Pu for dogs and Li for lights.
• Points at Mommy, Daddy, Grand Ma and Grand Pa when you ask her where they are.
• Dances to David Bowe and various others
• Smacks her lips when she’s hungry
• Loves to drink out of Daddy’s cup
• Bites while playing (not sure who she get that from)
Amelia may only be 9 months, but dang she’s only fits into 18 – 24 month old cloths. By this time next year Amelia and Thea can share cloths!! That should save me a few dollars… :-)
Enjoy some of her most recent photos!
Update
Amelia has graduated to big girl car set. Oh what a day!! :-)

7 Months of Amelia
Month 6 has been so exciting for Amelia, Mommy and Daddy and now we’re onto month 7!! Amelia has become quite the momma’s girl! Once Mamma walks in the room, Amelia can careless about how much fun she and Daddy are having. All her attention is focused on getting Thea’s attention. It’s super cute to see Amelia get excited to see Thea. She wraps her little chubby arms around Thea and a place sloppy kisses on Thea’s cheek. Yes I admit it, I’m super jealous, but I know my day will come! It kinda already has in the form of sounds. Each morning Amelia love to talk and whisper DA DA DA DAD. She probably doesn’t understand what she’s saying, but the simple fact that she saying it melts my heart.
Amelia isn’t doing a whole lot of crawling yet, she really dislikes being on her belly any longer than she needs to be. She will just roll over onto her back and try to sit up. We let her struggle a few times then help her up. She has learned pretty quickly that flinging herself backwards when she’s frustrated hurts her head. Thea and I think Amelia is going to skip crawling all together and start running pretty soon. She loves to stand against the ottoman or against daddy and bounce up and down. Amelia stood with out help for almost 10 seconds the other day. She was smiling as if standing was the best thing since eating grapes through a feeding net.
Thea and I have been pretty lucky in the teething department. Amelia started pushing out her third tooth a few days ago, which is the upper front left tooth. Thea and I think she’s gonna have the DeCoste gap. Anyone who’s seen my grill knows what I’m talking about. Fortunately for Amelia, her gap will be fixed with modern brace technology. J However, Thea’s excited to take the first picture of Amelia and daddy smiling together after both of Amelia’s top teeth come in.
Amelia also has a new best friend, her Auntie Monica. Having Monica in Portland has been amazing!! Not only is she great company for Amelia, Thea and I, but she’s also a blessing. Monica has been able to care for Amelia while her regular sitter is on vacation. Watching those two play is super cute. Amelia really enjoys the Jane Fonda work stretches Auntie Monica helps her with. Auntie Monica continues to tell us Amelia needs a kitty or puppy and we continue to say hellz no! But when I see how excited Amelia gets around the neighborhood cat “Kit Kat” or hear stories of how excited she gets around a puppy…..who knows what will happen in the years to come. This month would have been super stressful and crazy without Monica. WE LOVE her so much!
UPDATE:
Amelia's 4th tooth is on it's way down. Soon she'll have 4 front teeth...
Until next month…..

6 Month Update...Yeah 6 months!!!
Holy cow has time just flown by! Can you believe our little girl is 6 months old? While looking over past postings and pictures it was hard for me to "keep it together". For 15 minutes I sat here at my desk replaying the memories of when Thea and I first meet Amelia after 27 hours of labor, our first night at home alone as a family, how much Amelia loved her first bath and how much Amelia hated her second car ride. Seeing how much Amelia has changed and grown in just a short amount of time is insane!
In the past 30 days, our little girl has grown up so much. Amelia has pushed out two baby teeth. We've been pretty lucky so far with Amelia's teething. She's not too fussy and the cold teethers seem to really help. Two Sundays ago, Thea and Amelia went out for a day on the town. Little did Amelia (or daddy) knew that she would be getting her ears pierced. I must admit she looks so much cuter now. A few nights ago Amelia started playing "peek a boo" and melted my heart. She wasn't using her hands to cover her face, but she would slowly move her head into Thea's chest then turn real fast at me and scream. At first I didn't get what she was doing, but Thea knew right away. I left the gym early because I couldn't stop smiling and wanted to play with her more. At her 6 month appointment, we found that Amelia weighs 19 lbs and is 27.5 inches long. Unfortunately during the same visit Amelia was given a few more shots which she didn't take too well. Poor little girl cried so hard she pooped twice, one outburst even got on Thea. :-)
Pa-Pa (Amelia's baby sitter) is gone for the next 3 months or roughly the entire summer. We're sure Amelia will miss her "big brothers" Isaac, Ethan and Andrew. Amelia is nothing but smiles and laughs around them. The boys sure do love spending time with Amelia as well. Each morning when I drop her off, at least one, two or all three of the boys stand at the top of the stairs waiting for me to leave so they can start playing with Amelia. Once they start running down the stairs, Amelia screams or yells and laughs at them. I'm sure we'll be talking to Bong Pat to schedule a few play dates while Pa-Pa is away.
Time to go for now, we can't wait to share what happens this next month!

4 month Update (a few weeks late)…
It’s amazing that only four months ago Amelia was a “tiny” 8.5 lbs. Today I think she’s around 17 or even 17.5 lbs and growing. It blows my mind how quickly Amelia is becoming her own little person. Watching her learn how her feet taste or attempting to role over is hours of fun. Now that she’s older, it’s so much fun and easier to make her laugh (see video below). Grand Pa Sean has begun singing lessons and Amelia loves them. She really enjoys screaming jibba jabba to Grand Pa during their lessons. Thea and I have been real lucky with how sweet our little Amelia is. Each morning she greets us with smiles and a few farts. Her smiles are 100% genuine and not at all fart induced, they’re all for mommy and me. We’ve been surprised at how well Amelia sleeps in her crib. It’s probably due to the fact her daddy is not rolling around all night looking for Thea or a pillow to hold on to. J Now that Amelia has discovered how tasty her thumb is, she no longer wants a pacifier. What’s going to be even better is when she can hold her bottle up by herself. She can grab and hold her bottle, but the concept of tilting it for more milk isn’t quite there yet. I’m sure in a few weeks we’ll get there. Next week we’re going to start baby sign language DVD’s. Not sure how this will turn out, but I’m excited to try.
Yesterday was such a beautiful sunny day here in Portland that Thea and I decided it was a perfect time for Amelia’s first kickball game. I think Amelia really enjoys being in the sun and being the center of attention (not sure where she gets that from). She loved hanging around the team and just generally checking out the world. It took a lot out of our little girl. She slept through most of dinner and all the way home. Must be hard being so cute in this world of ours.

Our little one is now 3 months old...
It's amazing how three months blows by, Amelia is almost double her birth weight. She attended her first wedding a few weeks ago and stole the show. For the first few hours Amelia was passed around from family member to family member like a jeweled egg. I'm sure she had no idea what was going on, but she smiled through most of it. Once Amelia let us know she had enough of the party, Thea and her spent the rest of the night hiding in a quite room escaping the ear deafening band. We were surprised how well Amelia handled the wedding. She's becoming such a social butterfly. Wonder where she gets that from. :-)
Amelia met her new best friend this month and she goes by the name Wella. My mom aka Wella came up to help out with daycare once Thea returned to work. The past three weeks have been great. Neither Thea or I can get Amelia to giggle the way Wella does. Wella will be heading back to AZ next Saturday and she will surely be missed.
For her daddy's 30th birthday party she was allowed to wear the coolest onesie ever made (thanks Kapow). For those that don't know, the onesie was embroidered with a Luchador mask, a championship belt and the words "Lil Lucha". Seeing Amelia finally fit into the onsie melted my heart.
Daddy is hoping to get her out to a dodgeball game wearing her Lil Lucha onesie.
Amelia has discovered how delicious her hands are. She's pretty much turned her back on pacifiers in favor of her index finger. Amelia has expanded her vocabulary within the month. I can't spell the sounds she makes, but they are super cute. Amelia has rolled over a few times in bed, but has yet to do so on her "lay and play". I'm sure that day will come all too soon.
Enjoy some of Amelia's recent pictures...

We've Got A 95 Percentile Little Girl!
Yesterday Thea and I took Amelia to her two month doctors appointment. The beginning of the visit was great, we learned our little girl is now 12 lbs 10 oz and 24 inches long. Apparently Amelia is in the 95th percentile, not quite sure if that's good or not, but where I come from, that's an A. The last 10 minutes of the visit were heart breaking. That damn devil woman nurse stuck three needles in Amelia's leg. Because of that, Thea and I now know what Amelia's "pain" cry sounds like. Let me tell you, we never want to hear that cry again. Fortunately Amelia was given her shots around lunch time, so a tasty bottle "relieved" her pain. Unfortunately, the pain / discomfort stuck around most of the night.
A few days ago, I had my first "WOW, she's really is my daughter" moment. Don't get me wrong, Amelia's birth was the greatest "WOW" of my life. However, this "WOW" is a bit different and much cheesier. This time it was, "WOW! Amelia has daddy's double jointed thumbs!" For those who don't know, both my thumb can pretty much bend back on itself. Now I'm not sure why, but my heart melted when I noticed Amelia has "my thumbs". It's crazy how something as tiny as double jointed thumbs can make my day. I'm sure the next few years will be filled with other "WOW" moments, but this was the first.
Amelia is becoming more alert and loves to converse with mommy and daddy. Her sounds aren't very big or long, but she's definitely making noises back. Her smile is super cute and she loves to use it. The more I see her smile, the more it kills me see her frown. Wella's (my mom) heart is going to crumble when she sees Amelia's smile in person.
Thea is very excited about Feb 14. Not because it's Valentines Day, but because we're heading up to Seattle for a wedding. Thea and Wella can't wait get out there and hunt down the perfect dress for Amelia. Grandma and Grandpa are just as excited to see Amelia sport her fancy bling. Which means Amelia might be getting her ears pierced soon. You can see pictures of her bling below.
The past two months of learning how to become a parent has been great! Though tough at times, I wouldn't have it any other way. I can't wait to see how our little girl will change in the next 8 weeks.
When I get home, more photo's will be added. Enjoy these 10 until then...
Until next time,
Rich

Hey Kido's
It's time for an Amelia update.
About a week or so ago Amelia decided she loved her mommy and daddy so much she gave us the gift of rest. Amelia has been sleeping about 5 to 6 hours each night. After daddy leaves to work, my two ladies take a two hour nap. Which is really nice for Thea. Leaving them each morning kills me. It crazy and super cute how much Amelia shares her moms "sleeping style".
Amelia is becoming a little socialite. Each time we go out for dinner or lunch she gets better and better. Last night we had dinner with Uncle Ryan and Aunt Robin at The Road House, Amelia was a super sweet little angle. Amelia spent some quality time with Aunt Robin checking out lights and stff without getting fussy. Watching her get comfortable away from home is great. Can wait to get her out to a dodgeball game. :-)
Amelia is discoving her little voice. She really enjoys hearing about daddy's day and she'll give me a few goo goos and gaa gaa just to let me know about hers. Her smile is her favorite form of communication right now. Amelia has begun using her smile for more than letting us know she passing gas. It's great seeing her smile as we play with her.
There would be more pictures but they got accidentaly erased...oh well we'll just have to take more.
