Lots of visitors and food,,,,,

Today we had two visitors and two meals and I did not have to cook either one! First Chanar visited for lunch and made us Tsuivan, which is a  Mongolian Stir-Fry, not your typical Mongolian Bar-B-Q dish, but actual Mongolian food made by a Mongolian! Then Sandi, Chimge's friend from work, brought us Panda Express Chinese Food, which is not really Chinese food, but American cuisine blamed on the Chinese! So it was International Asian Food day at our place and like I said, I did not have to cook it! 

Chanar, Chimge and Christopher (Note all begin with "Ch" and 2.5 Mongolians) making lunch. Well Chanar made lunch, Chimge held Christopher and he supervised.

Christopher enjoying his Tsuivan, well a nap while we ate ours.

Chimge, Sandi and Christopher on the love seat as Sandi and Christopher got to know each other.

Me and Christopher enjoying Panda Express. You should see him put away the Orange Chicken.

Christopher's first fortune cookie....

Christopher really liked his fortune....

Christopher's fortune!

(For those who might think I would actually feed a 25 day old child Orange Chicken I have to clarify that no children under the age of 1 month consumed any food during the taking of these staged pictures).

Another day in our little guy's adventure

On labor day, Daddy got to labor hard digging holes and playing in dirt.  Christopher and mommy went on a walk and he was tired walking in the sun too. After having lunch, daddy and son decided to take much needed nap - he is a very happy kid hanging out with daddy.

Here is both of them sleeping - I think Christopher sleeps better listening to our heartbeats or feeling us breathing.

Oh oh, the flashlight woke up daddy - but Christopher is still happily napping.

Our dinner today - poor Christopher just got to smell it - and enjoy his milk.

After dinner - hanging out with mommy and daddy.

He is staying awake longer, looking around when there is a noise and following our voices.

Another visit from Aunt Monica & Uncle Mark

Our little guy is getting more alert and sleeping not as much - but still when he is asleep - he is really asleep - all relaxed and hard to wake him up. 

He often has his hands above or on the side of his head and looks relaxed.

Mommy & daddy just watches him sleep and take plenty pictures...

Today, aunt Monica and uncle Mark came to visit.  Auntie is going to Mongolia to visit my grandparents there - so she was given my pictures to take to them - mom & dad sure got plenty of pictures ready for them.  And of course, auntie and uncle did not come empty handed.  Seemed like I got plenty of new outfits to try on. 

Auntie played with me, fed me, and even changed my soiled diaper.  Then, she thought I was cold so she tried to bundle me up in layers of blankets. 

Mommy got my bouncie out - auntie put me in it, let me relax and started some music for me too...  She sure likes me, I think - did I hear her say she will bring me candy too - wonder what candy is and if I will like it?!

Mommy holding me - and wearing her regular jeans - I guess I didn't get her lose her shape too much. 

She sure was happy she could fit into her regular clothes...

Mommy didn't think I was hungry - wow - finally I got fed - it is a no brainer - when I am grumpy I am hungry... wonder how I will have to get them to understand me...

Well, our little guy is growing and we are figuring things out as we go, with plenty to learn.

Grandma and Grandpa Young visit - last day & Christopher is THREE weeks old

We had a leisurely morning for Grandma and Grandpa Young's last visiting day: dad made fruit pancakes for mom and Grandpa and made some eggs for Grandma.  Christopher had his usual milk.

Then, we left to go to Salt Lake City for some mini tour and to the airport to say goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa till Christmas.

Grandma and Grandpa all packed and ready to head home - taking the last minute pictures

We went to Ft. Douglas to visit the museum; while Grandma and Grandpa were inside looking at the exhibits, I went outside with mommy and daddy and checked out all the cool army toys: this one is an old artillery piece - Cannon to Cradle

It was bright outside.  So, daddy let me try on his shades. I need a bit bigger nose and much bigger head to pull this off... or my own shades, please!!!

This is "M4 Sheridan" - my first tank ride

Could not sit inside the helicopter - early model observation helicopter - but daddy held me close by to take a picture with it

This one is: AH-1 Cobra - Attack helicopter - daddy lifted me up so I could look in the window. Am I glad my daddy is tall.

Grandma and Grandpa on the rooftop of the Conference Center - Capitol Building in the background

We had lunch at PF Chang's to celebrate my three week birthday - that is what I was told - but they didn't share the food with me - just fed me the same old milk!

I got to take some pictures at the restaurant - daddy tried to get me ride the horse - but he couldn't quite reach up quite that high.

I was happy mommy and daddy enjoyed their meal - one day, I will be big enough to sit at the table and have my own plate and maybe even use the chopsticks.  But, I guess, mommy will need to teach me how to use them since daddy can't use them either.

Well, another week has passed and Christopher is now three weeks old.  We just got to figure out how to get him learn to sleep through the night. Hope that is coming in the near future?!

Grandma and Grandpa Young visit - day 3

Well on day three of Grandma and Grandpa's visit, guess what we did? Yep, a road trip. We drove from home, through Ogden took HWY39 to Woodruff and headed to Bear Lake. We at lunch in Garden City and came home by way of Logan Canyon to HWY 91 and back to I-15 to finally reach home.

Here is mom feeding me.... we took a rest up in the Cache National Forrest. Notice mommy feed me first, she is so good to me. Then she ate her nectarine.

Now dad is holding me so mommy can eat.....

Here I am with dad at my very first restaurant! It was a Mexican place.... but, the food tasted the same!

Grandma and Grandpa standing in Idaho. We were there long enough to take a few pictures.

Here is Grandma and Grandpa at the old Idaho/Utah state line marker.

Now we are back in Utah!

Here is the three of us.... Trying to keep Christopher shaded.

Grandma and Grandpa over looking Bear Lake. How lovely....

Well we travelled just under two-hundred miles. A few emergency pit stops for Christopher, but over all he slept or chatted with his mom and Grandma. That is just training for our trips later this month and our Christmas adventure through California.

Tomorrow we are heading into Salt Lake City for our last day of Grandma and Grandpa visit. So at least one more post with the Grandparents.....

Grandma and Grandpa Young visit - day 2

Grandma and Grandpa Young's visit on their second day: mom & dad got to go to Salt Lake City, while grandma and grandpa hung out with Christopher.  They went shopping, then for lunch and took a little walk together. 

Grandpa and Christopher hanging out

Grandma, Grandpa and Christopher

They seem to all want to let me lay there and stare at me - not sure how entertaining that was to them - but they were smiling and I was bored!

Three generations of Youngs - every time they want to take a picture, it happens to be my nap time though.

My foot next to Daddy's - somebody send him some lotion please!

I am getting ready for a real bath!

It was pretty cool at first - little tub was comfy too

But then, they started splashing water onto my face and taking pictures; at least glad they covered my up some!

Even pouring water on my head - can't wait to take bath on my own!

Needless to say, little Christopher is growing from day to day and getting bigger!

Grandma and Grandpa Young have arrived!

Grandma and Grandpa Young have arrived from California to visit Christopher and will be here with us for three days. We didn't get the best pictures, but wanted to let everyone know they made it.

Grandma and Grandpa trying to get that perfect picture.

Another shot.... You would think with him being the 4th Grandchild they would have taking pictures down.

Grandma and Christopher chilling in the guest bedroom.

Grandma and Grandpa relaxing with Christopher.

With the arrival of Grandparents, we have to thank Southwest Airlines for getting them here safely. Then we have to drop kick Southwest Airlines for not putting their luggage on the airplane. So dad, aka Grandpa and I got a chance to drive back and get the luggage. Otherwise, it was a good trip for the excited grandparents. Will post more as the visit progresses!
