Not sure which one likes the new walker better . . .

Alex or. . .


Genne ?Playing together

Visit with Grandpa Riggs

We love you grandpa and had fun hanging out with you.

Genne loves his big brother . . .

Especially his hair. She loves to pull on his hair, sometimes Alex gets mad but often he will put his head close by so she could play with it.

Checking on Alex at night time ! ?

Those are a few of many ways you can find him sleeping  :)He was actually listening to music on the monitor.

I love that kid !

Alex is talking :)

My little guy is a big boy now ! He is finally talking :) Today he called me MAMA and stare at me straight in the eyes ( tears). He is getting so much better at communicating and repeating everything he heard. We are so proud of him and enjoy having him around. His funniest word so far is kish ( kiss) and yesh( yes) sound just like he is missing his front teeth, cooo cute ! :)

so so relaxing !

He was rocking himself and even put the music on.


That kid is so funny !

She is on the move. . .

and will never stop ! Got to love that little cutie.

yes, she is wearing her Christmas PJ, it is not like she will be able to wear it next year !!!!

The best big brother in town !

Keeping Genne company while going belly time. Kissing little sister! Giving her some words of encouragement in his own language. Alex loves to play with Genne !

Leave Alex without a drawer in his dresser and ...

Too bad he did not stay in there until bed time :( HA HA HA !

A bored kid who misses his Daddy !

A bored little Alex who wanted to wear his daddy's coat all day because he hasn't see him since yesterday morning.

1. our beautiful and smiley daughter Genne .
2. All the wonderful things that come with Alex.
3. Good time with friends and family.

and most importantly good healthy and happiness. We wish you all a Happy New Year and hoping for another howsome year:)

4 months well check!

She is doing well and healthy! She is 13 lbs and 24 3/4 in long. She already pushing on her knees so the doctor thinks she will be an early crawler, all she has to do is to bring her knees under her belly. She is our litlle sunshine on a cloudy day.

Merry Christmas !

It was a great Christmas this year! Unfortunately, we didn't make it out to Colorado, to be with Grandma, Grandpa, Brian, and Brittney. In spite of that, it was our first Christmas with just our little crew, and it was a lot of fun. Matt and I got Alex some outrageous candy-cane stripe PJs and Genne was very cute in her 'My First Christmas' outfit. You could tell Alex thought he looked pretty attractive with the way he was strutting around the house! If only we could have gotten him to leave his hat on... it was very cute. There were home-made stockings on the door and plenty of presents under the tree. Alex left Santa a plate of cookies with a glass full of Lactose-free milk. The carrots were for the reindeer. Alex must have been a fantastic boy this last year because he got the most presents of all. He was also the gift inspector for the rest of the family. After he had finished unwrapping all of his own gifts, he went around and played with everyone else's gifts for a while. Santa was merciful and gave Alex a magnetic drawing kit so he would no longer wreak havoc upon any blank portion of wall. Genne was as cute as ever, she smiled a lot and gratefully chewed on her new toys. Matt spent the majority of the day slack-jawed and drooling in front of his video games, computer, or Blackberry. He didn't want me to reveal his geekiness to the rest of the world.. he calls himself a 'closet geek?' Yeah... riiiiight, nobody ELSE knows you're a geek Matt... :) I was having fun with my HD Zune and long-awaited Cricut (I still can't believe Matt bought himself all of his own presents this year.. it definitely will not happen next year). Also, I started cooking at 2pm and didn't finish until 6pm. Ugh! All that time in the kitchen! How can people stand it?! I had been wanting to have some Haitian holiday food and made a roast turkey, haitian macaroni, rice, and sweet potatoes. It all turned out great... except the turkey. Don't get me wrong... it tasted good... it just didn't LOOK good. I accidentally pulled off the legs while trying to transport it into a prettier dish. Matt swears that it was the best turkey he's ever had, not just because of the taste, but because of the good laugh he had when I pulled the legs off. Speaking of Matt, he wanted me to note that we kept as many Vinton traditions alive as was possible. Of particular note, we got everyone an ornament this year, and ate pie for breakfast. I love my little family. It was wonderful to have this week to spend together without any interruptions.
We hope that you all had a great Christmas because we sure did.

Finally ! A picture together!

Today, after church, I decided to take some pictures of Alex and Genne together and here's what I got. They turned out great, considered Alex never sit still and Genne always has her hand in her mouth.Look at those cute smile! Precious !!!
