Hi my name is Vince. I will crush you.

Sorry about the lack of updates this month. Papa got a nasty stomach virus which laid him out for about a week. And then a few days after he got over that, he got food poisoning at 100% Tacquito. So lets just say Vince wasn't the only one spitting up over the past couple of weeks.

Anyway, lots of firsts this month so lets get to it

First 4 month checkup - Four more immunizations. Four more screams. Unlike the last set of booster shots though, no fever and not too much crankiness. 24 & 1/4 inches, 12 lbs 13 oz. Still short. Here's a picture of him and Dr Schafer.

You're gonna put the thermometer WHERE?!!



First pho- this is a picture of Vince taken at Pho Saigon in Midtown Houston. His first pho experience was actually at Tau Bay on the southwest side 2 weeks prior, but he kind of slept through that pretty soundly. So this pic will have to do. Vince likes his pho light on the tendon, heavy on the tripe. Breast milk on the side.





First time finding feet - Vince discovered this month that he has feet. He is not sure what they are for yet, and Im not sure that putting them in his mouth will help.




First trip to Austin - first trip to Longhorn country. Mozart's, Salt Lick, and Town Lake were Vince favorites. Hannah and Aldous kept Mama and Baby company while Papa proudly sat in the end zone and watched the Horns lose at home to a large publicly funded university from Ohio.

wake me when we get to the BBQ



Dad, I got accepted at Oklahoma!!















First pony ride

Thanks Buddy



First Catholic Sacrament - Needless to say, Jen and I feel incredibly blessed to have this little guy. And so now we pray that he carries those blessings with him throughout his life. The big baptism weekend came and went without much incident. Mama and Papa were mentally prepared for alot of crying when the deacon dumped the water on his head, but happily (and strangely) Vince slept through it all. Thank you to everyone that came. Special thanks to Nenang and Nenong.

Here's a couple of quickie slide shows for those that could not attend.







and finally,

First bittersweet news - Vince is losing his babysitters Ethan and Megan before they even got a chance to babysit. The Fernandes's are moving to Bangkok. Great oppurtunity for them, but Vince is still very sad to see them go. Mama and Papa are excited now that they have a good excuse to visit Thailand. Good luck, Meg, Ethan, Gabriel, Uncle Beav, and Nenang Lulu.

Bye. Send me some Pad Thai



Later..
