BACK FROM PAWPAW AND GUNG GUNGS!

I am back from over a week at Pawpaw and GungGungs. I was going to come home with Mommy on Tuesday, but she got the stomach flu (so did Daddy), so we had to stay a few days extra. I had a great time though. I went to the park everyday, and the library and grocery shopping and everywhere with Pawpaw. Even to meet all her pawpaw friends at Starbucks. I learned a few new words too. Up, down, rice, and please, oh and row, as in Row, row, row your boat! I can even add in the arm movement. Another arm thing I learned was how to flap my arms like a bird! Ask me, "how does a bird fly?" and I will flap my arms! When I saw Daddy waiting for us at the airport, I ran as fast as I could to him. I missed Daddy a lot! He said I grew! Wow! When I get a chance, I'll post pics. Don't forget to sign my new guestbook!

WHAT A WEEKEND!

My weekend was awesome! I was the ringbearer in Uncle Ken and Auntie Jen's wedding. It was a lot of fun. I tried to dance with an older girl, but I guess I was too short or something. You should've seen me though. I was decked out in some nice duds! Shirt, vest, and velvet jacket. Plus shiny new black shoes! I also learned how to make movies. Maybe I'll be a director someday. I think I pooped myself out, because the next day, I ran a fever and could barely move. Luckily, Mommy, Daddy, Pawpaw and Gung gung were there to snuggle me all day! I recovered overnight and was as good as new on this President's Day. So good in fact, that I went down to LA with Pawpaw and Gung gung. I think I'll have a great week visiting them, don't you?

APPLE!

I said "Apple" today! It must be because Mommy feeds me yummy "baked" apples with cinnamon. I can eat an entire apple all by myself. Do you want the recipe? Its easy. Just cut up a peeled apple into cubes, sprinkle as much cinnamon as you like, toss, and then microwave for 2 minutes. Eat it hot or cold. Yum!

CHINESE NEW YEAR PARADE

Check out my new pictures from the Chinese New Year Parade. Daddy took me to watch the parade and I had a great time. I waved at all the floats and cars and I really liked the music and dancing. It was the first time we had seats at a parade, so we were able to watch all the performances. I even got Lay see from the Mayor! Daddy also took me to the Metreon and the Yerba Buena Gardens. I had fun running around. It was such a nice sunny day too. Later, we had dinner at the Buckhorn...yummy tri-tip!

My new word is "YESSSSSSS". Mommy and Daddy still haven't taught me the word "No", so I use "YES" for everything. I also know what the bee says (bzzzzzz) and what the duck says. I also really like cereal with milk for breakfast. Usually, the cereal (Heart to heart from Kashi) is quite soggy and there usually isn't much milk, but I have fun eating it. Plus, I get to drink the milk straight from the bowl afterwards. Mommy has been making "baked cinnamon apples" for my after dinner treat. It's really yummy and Mommy says it super easy to make.

LOVE MY BABY!

I've been taking very good care of my baby doll. She's eating with us now. I have Mommy put her in the seat next to Daddy. I like it when Mommy feeds one bite to baby, and then I eat one bite. :) I've also been teaching baby to identify things in the books Mommy and Daddy read me. I hold her hand and help her point at the things that Mommy is talking about. Sometimes, we take naps together. But she sleeps in the little house at night. Usually in the mornings, I try to share some of my milk with her. She's pretty thirsty, you know? When we go out, Mommy says I can't take baby out because she has to sleep. Why is she so tired all the time?
Also, I've started saying Pawpaw, Mommy and Daddy when I see them in pictures. (Before, I would just point when asked "where Daddy?", now it's "who's that?" Cool, huh?

GUNG HAY FAT CHOY!

Happy Chinese New Year! I went to dim sum today in my Kung Fu outfit. It's a pretty stylin' outfit, isn't it? I also blew bubbles today. That was fun! We had Neen Go for dessert today too. Sticky and gooey and oh, so yummy! My new "thing" is spinning my hands and Mommy sings "Wheels on the bus". It's taken me a while to master that one, but I finally did it. I've also started "coloring". I usually draw fish or birds...well, I start with the intention of drawing a fish or a bird. You know, modern art. :) My doodlepro is pretty good for drawing too.

HAIRCUT

I got my 2nd real real haircut (by that I mean at a salon). I actually behaved this time. No crying, though you could say I was thrilled. The red car I sat in had great buttons and I pretended I was driving to see Daddy. Anyhow, check out my pics in 20th month!

And I said my first 2 syllable word. BUBBLE!!!!! Yay me!
