Happy Halloween!!

This is the first costume my baby Ken wear on his first Halloween in his life :)

So cute!!

Hope everyone has a fun Halloween!! 

P.S.

I've been eating m&m all day....

Cute together

My husband and I were worried about Kuro (our dog) getting jealous before we brought Ken home from the hospital.
But surprisingly Kuro seems to love Ken at the first sight.
As soon as we brought our baby, Kuro was wagging his tail and tried to lick Ken :)
Now it has been 4 and half of months, Kuro loves to take a nap by Ken's side, and likes to lick Ken.

Ken is curious about Kuro.
He always looks at him and seems fascinated by whatever Kuro does.
Ken is still too young to play with Kuro, but they are going to be best friends!!
Hopefully....

How he takes a nap....

That's how Ken takes a nap...

He now can grab things.
So he likes to sleep grabbing onto something.

Especially, he likes to hold onto a blanket.
And most of the time the blanket covers half of his face....
I am not sure he likes that way or the blanket ends up on his face.....

Sometimes I am worried that he can breath..
Good thing that blankets are thin enough for him to breath through...
But of course I move a blanket a little bit so that it doesn't cover him mouth.
