update

Our house is almost finished! Daddy is working hard at putting all the finishing touches on this place and I love it! I try to help Daddy as often as I can. I love tools. One of these days, I’ll have to get my own toolbelt. I’ve learned a lot in the last few months. My vocabulary is huge now. Some of my favorite things to say…Awesome, delicious, It’s a nice day, Are you happy? Is Daddy happy? What are you doing? Mommy, I love you! I want to watch anything. Save for Daddy? I can make lots and lots of different kinds of sentences. I can also sing “Frere Jacques”, well, the first two lines anyhow. And I think I’m taller now. I probably weigh about 28 pounds. I also ask a lot of questions and I am not shy, usually. I was sick last week, and so was Mommy. It was a bummer because I missed my playgroups. I love to eat bagels and cream cheese! Blueberries and strawberries are still my favorite fruits, but I also like Asian pears, apples, grapes and bananas. My favorite veggies are peas and corn. Sometimes I like broccoli, but not always. I don’t like spinach, but onions are pretty good. I still don’t like eggs, except when I have tamago at Japanese restaurants. I love udon noodles too.

Happy Halloween!

I went trick-or-treating at Santana Row with Mommy. It was really fun, but there were a lot of kids out with their Mommies too. Luckily, it was nice and cool so that I could wear my purple dragon costume! I got lots of treats that I will share with Daddy and Mommy.

We moved!

Into a new big house with lots of rooms and places for me to run and hide. I’ve been adjusting just so-so. I’m not sure what’s going on, so I’ve been cranky sometimes. Mom and Dad are so busy unpacking. And they can’t get the tv to work, either, so I am bummed. I like my new room. It’s big and I can’t wait to get more furniture. It seems so empty right now. Mommy has been taking me to this place called Kidspark about once a week. It’s like a drop-in daycare. Mommy goes and runs her errands, while I play! It’s so fun because they have art projects (I love glue) and singing and dancing and snacks. The teachers are really nice and take good care of me. I can’t wait for Halloween to go trick-or-treating in my new neighborhood. It’s a nice area and there is a park nearby.

Mommy took me to the Pumpkin Patch on Grant Road in Mountain View. I met up with my friends Mimi, Marissa, and Baby Ethan. It was fun! At first, it was chilly, and wearing my dragon costume was okay, but then the sun came out and I was boiling!

LA SD

I just came back from LA and San Diego. I was visiting Paw paw and Gung gung. They took me to the SD Zoo to see the giant pandas! And the best part was hanging out with my cousin Jenna and going to her birthday party. It was super fun! She’s so lucky cuz she got a Dora cake and all sorts of Dora and Diego toys. How fun! I also started to get to know Maggie-dog. She’s a nice doggy, but she is big and I am a little bit afraid.

Did I tell you that I can now jump and both my feet come off the ground? For real! It is so fun jumping, I could do it all day! Mommy took me to the Oakland Zoo the other day and it was way fun. I saw giraffes, elephants, zebras, monkeys, a giant turtle and lions and tigers. Mommy was really tired because it was a pretty hilly zoo. I did good though and walked up the big hill, so Mommy didn’t have to push me. We also went on a train ride that was pretty cool. And the Merry go round too. I had fun. My pal Tristan was going to come, but he got a fever that day. He’s feeling better now. ☺ I’m going to LA/SD with Pawpaw and Gung gung. They are taking me on a trip to the San Diego Zoo, Legoland and Jenna’s birthday party! I can’t wait to sing Happy Birthday to her. That’s my favorite song! Oh, and I really am excited to see the Panda bears at the SD Zoo.

Real Labor Day

It’s Labor Day and Daddy asked his friends over to our new place to do just that….labor. Uncle Ken, Uncle Ryan, and Uncle Joel came and worked on the little projects that Daddy has. I think they enjoyed getting dirty, but I’m sure they were tired after. ☺ My language skills are getting better too. I can say “complex” sentences and also have conversations with Mommy. I’ll say, “what do today?”…”maybe go zoo”…”animals, zebra, giraffe, horsey, bird, flamingo…zoo”. Or I’ll say, “me pour sand in tower”…”make spin around”…”me turn over stuck”…Pretty good huh? I know, not exactly grammatically correct, but there’s a thought process there. Some days I eat pretty well, but other days, not so. I don’t like spinach or any other leafy green, though I suspect Mom is trying to sneak them in somewhere….I like corn and peas, though.

Did I tell you that I am going to have a few new friends soon? First, in December, I’m going to welcome a baby brother! Yippee!!! And then in January, Auntie Jen and Uncle Ken will have a baby boy. Also, Auntie Sarah and Uncle Kelvin will have another boy, and then in February, Auntie Lydia and Uncle Ryan will have a baby too! Wow, lots of little friends soon! I’m so excited, cuz I love babies!
