hey bug!
i. miss. you. so. much.
after bikram yoga yesterday, i facetimed with mom, so i could see you and your baby sister. this was the first time ever, that we actually facetimed, and you didn't just show me the ceiling fan, and part of your forehead!
you sat there with your bowl of blueberries, and you calmly spoke to me. we played simon says, and then we took turns telling each other how much we loved each other. i asked if you missed me, and you said yes. i'll take it :) and then you showed me all your teeth, raised your eyebrows, wiggled your nose, stuck out your tongue, and shook your head. you even tried to feed me some blueberries..and then mom said "no no no!"
when we were saying bye, i told you i loved you, and you said "i luhhyou!" and then quickly said "see ya!" which is my favorite. so casual, so adorable. poor charlie wasn't feeling well. she looked sooo sleepy. and she was just in mom's arms, playing with her hair. i wonder if she's going to keep that calm disposition.
and i wonder if you're just going to get more rowdy. mom tried to take your blueberries away, and you were like "no!!!" haha..not done, i suppose. on one hand, i love seeing you grow, and talk, and be an actual kid. on the other, i hate that i'm missing so much of it. please stop growing so fast.

wedding II
hi little buggy,
guess who's going to be squeezing and kissing you tomorrow? MEEEEEEEEEE!! well, it'll probably be on Thursday, since you get in kind of late on Wednesday.
i'm getting married on Sunday..and you're going to be my little flower girl!
man...one day, you're going to get married. on one hand, i can't wait until that day comes...and on the other, i just want you to stay little forever. yelling your "noooo!!"..which by the way is ADORABLE and bad at the same time. your uncle matt really wanted to hold you, but you just kept yelling "nooo!" in his face. haha!
i hope that when the day comes that you start to date, that you'll trust me with giving you advice for it. mom and i are so different, so it'll be good to hear both sides. that's another reason why it's so great to have a sister....you get to ask for advice/share everything with. it's a built-in BFF for life :)

and then there were TWO!
BABY CHARLIE IS HERE!!!!
Your little baby sister has come into the world!! I'm so sad that I wasn't able to be there to witness her birth, but, like I told mommy...it'll just be our special little connection :)
She was born at 6:32am this morning...and I am over the moon about it! 6 lbs 8oz. You were 7 lbs 2 oz! So make sure you take care of your baby sister, ok? She's just a tiny little thing.
I'll be back there to visit at the end of August--can't wait!!!!
I love you both SO much. You're my world! :)
2/24 + 7/2 = <3

2 months left
Baby guuuuuuuuurl!
It's just 2 mere months away!! Your baby sister is coming! I've been calling her "Charlotte", but who knows what your parents will go with. I like Charlotte, and Colette. We shall see.
We facetimed yesterday, and you were sooo tired, poor muffin. You've had a fever for a few days now, but you still mustered up the strength to give me your "mad" face. It's our thing :) You do it every time my face pops up on your mama's screen! It's the cutest. Another super adorable thing is your singing.."whoooa whoooa whooooaaa!"..I just love the way you pucker your lips. I hope you never stop doing it!!
You're growing so fast, and your personality is just the cutest. You mock everything and everyone..and you say "dangu" which is "thank you". You also are trying to say "ong ngoai"..but you say "muaaah!" hahaha..grandpa has such a kick watching you. I love watching you grow and learn new things--like playing peekaboo!
I won't be seeing you again (in person) until August...*ugly sad crying face* but I'll be facetiming you soon!!! <3
Love you to the moon and back!

in 3 days!
hi babygirl!
i'll be flying to LA to visit you in 3 short days! your mom is picking me up at the airport, and i can hardly wait. i think you'll be at your grandparents' house, so we'll be heading over straight from LAX.
i was just in Cancun, Mexico this past week...and even on vacation, we facetimed. maaaaan, you are growing up to be such a little sassy lady! you've got so much 'tude..and i couldn't be happier to see your face every time the screens connect. you're already trying to stand on your own, even though your balance isn't 100% yet. when mommy tries to help you, you just take her arms off, as if saying "i can do it myself, mama!". ong ngoai and ba ngoai are so proud of you too...and you want to know what ong ngoai said? he told me, as happy as he was that you're going to have a baby sister or brother--he can't help but feel sad that you won't have ALL the attention anymore. i laughed a little, and told him "don't worry dad, K is aaaaaaaalways going to be loved. she'll always be our first baby" even though i secretly felt the same.
you're such a smart, courageous, sweet, gentle, strong little thing...and we just want you to shine without anyone else taking away from your light. but i also know that your baby sister or brother will just make more room in our hearts. and if he or she is anything like you, we'll love them just as much...and lucky us, we'll have 2 perfect little beings to add to the family!
i can't wait to blow raspberries with you, and huff and puff like a dog (it's 2 of your favorite things to do these days). but mostly, i just can't wait to hug you and kiss you to pieces!

so many updates, so little time
hi bug,
so I was cooking earlier..and then when I finished, I realized I didn't have anything else to do. it's Sunday, 11/16/14, and I'm in my apartment that I share with uncle Jared. we are now engaged to be married..and somewhere along the way, I've ceased to hate being here. I still don't love it, and I doubt that moment will ever come, but for now...I can stand it.
this morning, I woke to a text from my neighbor Alexis, asking if we could walk and feed her dog for her. I of course obliged, especially bc she and her bf came by to feed/watch Bruno while we were in LA last month (when we got engaged!)
so anyway, I digress..this morning we woke up, uncle Jared made breakfast, watched a little tv, showered, and went down to walk Hank. we decided to go to Dunkin Donuts. it was a nice little walk, mostly because I bought a thick winter jacket yesterday, so I was able to enjoy the weather a bit more. hmm, maybe that's why I'm not hating it as much? it's colllllld here!! making me miss the warmth of LA that much more :(
oh, we also facetimed this morning! you had just woken up, and had crazy hair...and an even crazier big ole smile for me! I just love seeing your adorable little face light up every time you see me on the screen. your mom told your grandparents last night about her pregnancy. you're going to be a big sister!!! I am so so so excited to see what this little boo is going to look like..what is he/she going to sound like? will it be as active as you? as happy as you? will he or she say "da da da da!" and stick out their little tongue when they're trying to focus? will he/she be as independent as you? you tend to take off your mom's arm when she's holding you, as if saying "I can do it on my own!!" even though you care barely hold yourself up. you're crawling pretty fast nowadays, and you love exploring.
I feel like I'm missing all your milestones while I'm on the east coast...but I know I'll be moving back soon...so I'll be there for the bigger ones. like you starting kindergarten! and meeting your little brother or sister! I'm going to try to be there for his/her birth too, like I was with yours. I'm sure you already heard me say this plenty, but I SAW YOU FIRST!! you make me so happy, and so proud...even when you fell off the bed last week (oops mommy), you were all smiles a few hours later. you're such a tough little cookie. like your ba ngoai ;)
you're going to be my little flower girl..and I know you don't know what that means yet (you're 8 months), but I just can't wait to see you in a pretty little dress! Cadence will walk with you. (uncle Jared's goddaughter)
anyway, I made Japanese chicken curry..I also made an apple cake yesterday. and later, we're making philly cheesesteaks. lots of food over here! I miss you a ton..and can't wait to give you little squeezes when I'm home next month for xmas! Speaking of.....what should I get you?!! hmm..
love you, bug.

5 weeks
hi bug!
so i've been gone for almost 5 weeks now..and you've just been getting smarter, stronger, and a tiny bit bigger. i'm coming home in about 2 weeks, and i just cannot wait to see you. i can't wait to squeeze your little body in my arms!!
mommy and grandpa took you to the park, and you had such a blast last weekend. they sent me pictures and videos of grandpa swinging you. he was so afraid your arms might pop out of your shoulder sockets, but you kept asking for more (by just falling backwards), and squealing in delight when he swung you. tough little nugget.
mommy said you LOVE bathtime! and last night, we were going to facetime, but you had to go to red robin to celebrate madison or ben's award...so we'll facetime tonight. every time we see each other, you give me a big ol' smile...and it always lights up my day! it's been really hard living out here, with no friends, and no family. one day, if you ever think about moving away.....just know that it may be hard at first. well, it may be hard for a long time, but it's a good learning experience. i definitely want to move back, and soon!
we also got a little kitten, his name is Bruno. he's a troublemaker...but pretty cute. hopefully you'll meet him soon! i gotta get ready for my interview today--keep your tiny chubby fingers crossed for me!
love you to the moon.
