Thomas with his new shoes!

Thomas has been walking around so much lately. He has tons of sandals given by my sister, but they were all small for him, so Tony and I bought him a new one on Sunday. He keeps on wanting to take them off, but I won't let him. I'm trying to get him used to walking with shoes so that I can take him outside for walks. I can't wait!

I've also videoed him walking around, but I haven't been able to post on his video website yet, because Tony had boxed up the video cables. I have several videos in which I'm behind in posting up.

Thomas has another teeth!

Thomas has another teeth now; this is his 5th one. With so many teeth, his biting hurts now! I hope he'll stop his biting stage soon!

Thomas walks so much now!

Thomas is walking around the house so much now! He loves it too! He rarely wants me to hold him anymore...sometimes, when I just want to hug him, he pushes me away because he doesn't want to be held. He also tries to open up the cabinets in the kitchen and the bathroom. I had to put the safety latch on the cabinets yesterday. He tried opening them today, but couldn't. He came back and tried several times and finally gave up! All this walking around is not tiring him at all, but it's tiring for me!

Thomas took off his own diaper!

Thomas had taken off his own diaper last night while sleeping. Around 1 a.m., he woke up crying, and I got up and found one side of his diaper off. All the blankets in his crib was wet! I flipped over his mattress, changed the crib sheets, hand-washed his pillow, and washed him. I couldn't believe that he could take off his own diaper! I hope this isn't something he'll be doing often!

Thomas can shake his head "No"

Thomas is able to shake his head "no". He's been able to do it ever since last Saturday night. It's funny the way he does it...he holds his head up and shakes into the sky. He looks so cute when he does it!

Thomas walks and climbs up onto the futon!

Thomas was able to climb up onto the futon by himself yesterday! At first, he was taking several steps on the floor...he usually walks only on the bed, and not the floor because he's afraid of falling. Suddenly he walked over to the futon where I was sitting, and he climbed up all by himself. Tony and I were surprised! He's happy he can climb up, and he keeps on doing it.

Right now, he's taking several steps around the living room and climbing on the futon again!

Thomas has 4 teeth!

Thomas grew his 4th teeth, and he's been biting me a lot! Today, my parents came over to visit with my niece Sarah and nephew Kevin, and Thomas bit my mother! All of us went swimming in the pool, and when I was feeding him afterwards, he bit me!

Our Cancun Trip: June 24-29, 2007

We had a wonderful time in Cancun. We flew out from John Wayne Airport on Sunday noon, and arrived in Cancun at around 9pm. Thomas was good on the plane. We had a stop-over in Houston. Thomas was better on the first flight than on the second. I guess he was getting tired at that time. By the time we arrived to our hotel, Dreams Cancun Resort & Spa, and checked in and everything, it was close to midnight. The package we bought was all-inclusive, so the first thing we took advantage of was the room service. We had a very late dinner of tortilla soup, steak, and cheesecake. It was so good! Their cheesecake was so creamy and not too sweet like some cheesecake I've eaten before. It was just perfect.

I had a crib bought up, and Thomas was so tired that he fell asleep right away!

The next morning, we went out to the hotel's international buffet, World Cafe. Afterwards, we went walking around the hotel. The weather was so hot and humid that we decided to jump in the pool later on. There's always someone waiting around, asking whether anyone needed a drink...it was paradise. Tony liked the swim up bar.

For lunch, we decided to order room service again, but that night, we tried out their seafood restaurant, Oceana. It was so delicious! We loved their lobster bisque!

We also loved the Seaside Grill, which specializes in grilled items. Another place we tried out was Himitsu, a Pan-Asian restaurant. We thought the location was great for a romantic evening because of its great view, but the food was just ok there. There was also another restaurant, Paloma Bonita, specializing in authentic Mexican food, but we didn't eat there.

We had an ocean view room, and the view was spectacular! We could see almost everything from our room, from the pool, lagoon where dolphins were swimming, to the pier, and the ocean. There was many activities for us to join, but with Thomas, we were a little restricted. Tony joined in the water exercise, kayaking, and bicycling activities. Thomas and I swam most of the time. There's an Explorer Club for kids, but they had to be at least 3 years, so Thomas was too young. They took the kids for the day and entertained them with fun-filled activities. Tony and I plan on going to Cancun again when Thomas is at least 3 years old to use this service!

We really had a great time in Cancun. We even saw 2 well-known Vietnamese celebrity there, Van Son and Viet Thao, and their families. They were staying on the same floor as us! We were able to take pictures with one of them.

I think Tony and I will be coming back to Cancun, and we'd definitely stay at Dreams again...it's a place where dreams come true!

There's so much pictures that we took! Click here to see all of them!
