Sophie gets chewed out
We thinks someone is teething...Max has been having trouble sleeping, drooling like crazy and chewing on everything in sight. His most favorite chewing object right now is his little Sophie the giraffe (thanks Lawrences). Right now her legs are taking a beating. Hurry up and cut through tooth...save Sophie!
Thanksgiving visits
While we were out in Stockton, we paid our visits to my friend Marifi and her little ones as well as my sister Hong & her family. Though the visits were short (our lives revolve around Max's nap schedule!), it was great to catch up :)

Gobble-ing with the 'rents
The Chens headed out to Stockton this Thanksgiving to celebrate with my parents. We were lucky to have my uncle, aunt, and cousins stop by as well. As usual, my mom didn't disappoint with the spread. Good food and relaxation was the recipe for the long weekend. Most of all, it was great to see Max having fun with his grandparents!

6 month stats
Oh Max....he is growing like crazy...and I mean crazy round :)
At 6 months Max is scooting, saying "Dadadada, mamamamama, gagagaga, mmmm, oooohhhhh, ahhhhh" (yes, typical 6 month old's vocab), almost able to sit on his own & likes to rock forward, well into his solid foods, laughs and squeals, and loves to watch Tank play fetch.
Stats:
Head circumference: 44.6cm - 74th percentile
Height: 26.25in. - 45th percentile
Weight: 19lbs 5 oz. - 81st percentile

Cee Lo - So explicit, but so catchy!
I know this has turned into a baby blog of sorts, so it's been awhile when I have spoken of other things....like my love of music.
This song though - I love it! Offensive lyrics, but catchy tune. A throwback to a 60's R&B vibe. The lyrics? Too funny.
Not one for the four-letter word? There is a radio-friendly version too. Trust me, you will find yourself singing along to this all day. Watch out if little ones overhear you....or again, radio-friendly version translated to "Forget You".
Cee Lo - you so crazy!
UPDATE: They just did this song tonight on Glee...SHUT...UP!

The Grandparents visit from SoCal!
This past weekend, Leon's folks came to visit Max. It was so fun to see how much they love this lil' guy and how much he was enjoying their company! He was so smiley, talkative, and didn't care who was holding him. Just wait until Max gets his Mandarin going.

Halloween - yeah I'm late
Ok, so I promised an update on Halloween and I obviously did not get around to it! Better late than never, right?
The Hamlins decided to come over to our neighborhood to have Emma show Max what trick-or-treating is all about! She was a cute butterfly and her dad made a very crafty homemade caterpillar outfit - loved it :) Poor Max got up really early from his afternoon nap and didn't last long on the trick-or-treating trip. I can't wait until he's walking and ringing doorbells by himself.
The neighborhood kids are too nice around here. I left my giant beer bucket of candy on the porch and no one snagged half the can when I came back. I also put up a sign after Max went to bed to please knock, and don't you know, EVERY kid followed instructions. Since I was telling kids to take candy by the handfuls, a couple of them went back to tell their friends. I love Halloween! (and it's not because it's my birthday either).
