This is what Mommy was looking forward to the least...
a tooth has erupted through my gums!
We thought I would get teeth really late, since Daddy didn't get his first tooth until he was nearly 2!
But yes... the dreadful day has come...
I'm officially teething... Daddy says soon I'll be walking, talking to boys and asking to get my belly button pierced... you said it Daddy, I didn't!
On Wednesday night, we had dinner at Caffe Sport with Uncle Alvin, Ninong JB, Ninong Ray and Auntie Cheedeh because Alvin was in town from Irvine...
We weren't the only ones there... Rob Schneider was there with this family... Ninong JB wanted to bring me to there table and have him sign my belly... um no.
Uncle Alvin, Ninong JB and me...
"my two dads"
Me and Auntie Chee-deh...I don't get to spend that much time with Daddy (because he gets home after 7 and my bedtime is 8), but when I do, we have sooo much fun together!
Here are some pictures of me with Daddy...
We celebrated Auntie Christina's birthday on Monday night...
We had an excellent Mexican dinner with Chile Rellenos, Fish Tacos, Eggplant pie and Drunken Chicken (I don't remember how to say it in Spanish!)... we ended the yummy dinner with a raspberry cake!
Rockstar parties are popular this year!
We celebrated Auntie Christina's 27th birthday with a Rockstar party!
Uncle Josh, Amerie and me!
Here we are with Auntie Christina...
we tried again, but this time nobody's looking!
AJ and his two backup singers...
I love kissing AJ's nose!
Pop Star?!?
Amerie's already got a sweet tooth!
I'm such a show-off!
I can hold the sofa with one hand now... I'm a little too fearless for my own good...
The other day, Mommy asked Daddy if she could let me fall (a controlled fall), just so that I won't be so brave. I've tried to crawl off the bed a few times... I still don't understand that I could hurt myself!
Daddy said maybe. I don't really think mommy will do it... I'm too cute for her to let me get hurt!
On January 25, the Vargas' hosted a Rock Band/Taco Night...Of course it could only be the fanciest possible Taco Night ever, with Auntie Chee-deh as the hostess with the mostest!
The Rockstars!
Hanging out with Michelle and Mansi...
"My two dads" (it took a few drinks to get them willing to take this picture)
...I'm 8 months old already!
Can you believe it?!?
Mommy sure can't!... "8 months old" sounds so... well, OLD!
Mommy and I spent my birthday with Grandma Lyn and Grandpa Trev... We went shopping at Stoneridge (actually, Mommy pushed me around the mall... hoping I would fall back asleep - of course I didn't! there were so many things to look at!)
Then we went to Babies R Us (Daddy's favorite place! Too bad he wasn't with us... to complain!)
to find a push walker that I can use when I'm at Grandma's.
Here I am testing out my new learning walker...
No, this isn't a bad blush job... it's a reaction from the metal spoon.
Yay! My Daddy's home!!!
Ate Seyla turns 5 today!
Ate Seyla is my cousin and her mommy is my Ninang!
Mommy was digging through the archives and here are some pictures we found!
Happy Birthday Ate Sey!
Can't wait to meet you!
On January 20, Ate Rayanne turned 6!
Ate Rayanne is my cousin and Daddy's goddaughter!
Here are some pictures from the archives...
It's been a year since Mommy and Daddy got married!
can you see me? I"m hiding behind the flowers!
What a bittersweet day...
The Chargers didn't win on Sunday, Daddy was pretty sad... but Mommy was pretty happy because she got to take down the Christmas tree! It was in really good shape, and we probably could have kept it for another 2 weeks!
I'm in the empty Christmas tree corner!
I got to take one last look at all the Christmas cards before they were put away...This is a story about my cousin Simon (hope this is ok with you guys!)
The other day, Uncle Jason asked Simon if he would like to be a ring bearer for "Uncle James and Auntie Marie's wedding"
Simon replied "I don't want to be a ring bear... I want to be a ring ELEPHANT!"
hahaha!
We're still cracking up! (I'm giggling as I write this!)
Mommy and Daddy wanted me to have a pretty unique name... I guess Addison isn't really unique anymore since it's #6 in the top 100 baby names for 2007! It won't be too hard for me to find my name on magnets or Christmas ornaments pretty soon!
Sylyn came from my two Grandma's:
"Syl" from my Lola Sylvia (mommy's mommy)
"Lyn" from Grandma Lynne (daddy's mommy)
Addison is pronounced A'-DE-SEN with the primary stress on the first syllable
Sylyn is pronounced SIL-LIN' with the primary stress on the second syllable... (like a window sill and like lin garden... or rhymes with chin)
I guess we should have posted this earlier to clear this up for some people... someone recently asked mommy how to pronounce my middle name... they thought it was CY-LINE... (first syllable rhymes with my and last syllable rhymes with mine)
uh... no
You may or may not know that Daddy is a big Chargers fan!
he's a little superstitious too... we can't take down the Christmas tree until the Chargers make it to the World Series... (just kidding... the Super Bowl... duh!)
Here I am in front of the Christmas tree... it's January 16th.
I'm swimming in Daddy's Chargers jersey!
ok. I've had enough of the picture taking already!
