Sad to see Nai Nai go . . . but happy to see Gong Gong arrive!

We were so utterly sad to see Nai Nai go back to Taipei. She stayed with us for 3.5 weeks, and in her last two days, made enough food to last us 38 consecutive days. Our freezer is a veritable filing cabinet of home cooking. Xiao-Wei said that the last day Nai Nai was here, she found her in the kitchen cooking, doing laundry, doing dishes, sweeping the floor, and feeding Max all at the same time. But she is needed elsewhere because Ye Ye signed up for spinal surgery a little early, so she had yet another "patient" to take care of. One thing in common that Xiao-Wei and Ye Ye (my dad) have in common is that they are both impatient patients. Anyway, before Nai Nai left for the airport, we had some quality time with her. Maxwell was quite upset about her leaving, so we tested a theory that Daddy read somewhere: cry louder than your baby, and they'll stop.



It's been an exciting few weeks for Max. Nai Nai came and went. And Gong Gong has come to visit! Max is now officially in his 8th week outside of the "joint." We've been to baby showers, been to other baby's homes, had lots of guests, had dim sum for Daddy's birthday, lunch dates with Mommy out on the town . . . oh, man, it's been busy!



Xiao-Wei and I both realized in talking with friends that there are a lot of readers of this blog out there. Thanks for taking time to look at our son's growth and progress. We are blessed and proud to have him in our lives, and your silent support contributes in such a positive way. Thank you!
