This is a blog about the adventures of Jeff, Jo, Sage and Mocha! (OK, I admit currently this is basically just a blog about Sage, but no one is complaining, so that is fine by us!)
Our motto is "Make it Better!", and indeed we can...
Sure, I may change that statement at times in our lives, but even so, I love it. I am loving the time now and looking forward to doing all the Dad things with him later (especially gaming).
Can't wait!
Here are some recent pics of Sage and his Dad.
Sage looks like Daddy?
God forbid...
Thaz alright - But the question is, will you be as cute as Daddy?
Just hanging out
Gimme FIVE!
Yeah, good job!
A few Cute Butt (C) shots are always good to have on record...
...for blackmailing purposes later
Don't worry too much though
Will learn computer skills (ok, gaming skills) early....
Jo, Sage and I went up to Taipei finally to show the Lil Guy to Jo's mom (Ah Ma is what Sage will call her), sister and various cousins. We had a good time Sage got off to a good first step with Jo's side of the family.
When we first got there, a small ceremony ensued and Sage was treated like a Little King and was gifted some special necklaces and gifts.
He didn't really know what was going on (nor did Daddy, really), but I explained to him that the 2 necklaces with bags contained money and that special golden spoon is a traditional gift to give a newborn child (especially boy). I had to tell him that it was real gold!
"Oh! That is cool!" he is saying.
Now, it was time for the Passing of the Child, and Ah Ma and Aunt Julia (Jo's sister) each got a chance to hold him. We don't know why, but he immediately took a liking to Ah Ma and kept looking at her and smiling (which made Ah Ma very happy!).
Even Aunt Julia got a few smiles, as well!
Then, when they came home, the cousins were next.
This is Mi Fen....
...and her sister Ya Wen.
Ya Wen had a knack for massaging Sage, so he immediately fell asleep.
After awhile, the pro had to step in and show them how to do it.....
Do you like Jo's new "I'm 15 Years Old" look?
Anyway, there will be plenty more visits North to see Sage's Taiwanese family.
We are trying to bring Sage out more, now that he can spit up by himself and make cute gurgling sounds while pooping; it adds to the whole adventure....
Anyway, we brought him to the Metropolitan Park last weekend (the weekend that was raining, but after my three blogs, it stopped and then we took off). Our plan was to just stay a little bit and head on home and get us used to lugging him around and him used to being lugged around.
First, we had to wake him up......and he seemed to not be too thrilled at the idea...
Then we walked around the park for a bit while it was cool (after a shower is always nice) and then decided to take a seat and get some ice cream. Sorry Sage, no ice cream for you, yet. He tired to look cute, but we with held the goods.
But then Mom and Dad were hungry and instead of heading back towards home, we decided to go to a restaurant. We had lots to choose from, so we picked a Mexican one that sounded good. This was the first time we had brought Sage out in a 'confined' public space, so I was a little wary about what would happen, but he was a super dude and was quiet the whole time, absorbing the action.
Just hangin' out. A little cold?
Like this?
I think he is looking to mom to translate....
But all is well!
We head out to Taipei tomorrow to see Jo's mom, sister and brother's family, so that will be a busy day as well! A lot of cheek kissing and strangers holding Sage and cooing and awwing....
We were planning to take Sage out to our big park up on the hill - Metropolitan Park - but it started to rain and it looks like it will last awhile. So, since he is still sleeping, might as well add some recent random shots for you.
