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!

LIMP

Today I woke up with a slight limp...hmmm...I think I might have had a cramp in my leg. Mommy took me to the doctor and he couldn't figure it out. It must have been a cramp. I didn't complain or anything...I just walked funny. And I pointed to my toes to let Mommy know that's where it was bothering me. We'll have to see if I walk okay tomorrow.

At the doctor's office, I got weighed and weigh in at a whopping 24 pounds 12 oz!!!!! All this good eating is doing my body good!

HMMM...WHAT'S NEW?

What's new with me? Well, I'm still eating really well. I really like barbecue sauce...smothered over anything! I've eaten some strange things lately. Mommy and Daddy were eating frutti de mare, and I ate a few mussels. It was okay. I also ate quail drumsticks. It was okay. I really love peas and corn. Sometimes, I'll eat a whole bowl. I also really like gnocchi. Yum! I'm back to eating oatmeal nuggets.

I like holding hands with my friends. It makes the walk nicer. And yesterday, at Gymboree, a girl kissed me on the cheek. Mommy has been borrowing books from the library and I love it! I can read ten books all in a row (well, Mommy reads them to me). Now that I don't tear the pages, Mommy says it's okay to get the books from the library. No need for those cumbersome board books anymore. I can also "stomp" my feet when Mommy sings "When you're happy and you know it...". I also do "touch my nose", "clap your hands", "pat your head", "touch your toes" and "rub your belly". See how well I follow directions now?

Mommy puts me down for my nap with baby. She tells me that baby is sleeping and I shouldn't wake her, so when she puts me down, I try to be quiet. I haven't been crying like I usually do (a minute or two). Though sometimes, I can't help talking to baby. I'm still napping and sleeping pretty well.

Have you seen my pimped out ride? Daddy got me the footrest, seatbelt, bell, and basket. And when I wear the helmet, I am all decked out! Yeah, I've got an awesome ride!!!

THOMAS

My cousin (2nd?) Thomas was born today. (Mommy's cousin Janice is his mommy). Can't wait to meet him.

ETHAN

My friend Marissa's brother Ethan was born today 1/11/06! Congratulations Marissa, you're a big sister!

DIM SUM

Okay, dim sum is my favorite food. First of all, the food is on the table before I sit down...well, just super duper fast. My favorite dim sum is 'jeen dur' (sesame balls), then 'cha sui bao' (bbq pork buns), 'law mei fan' (sticky rice in lotus leaf) and 'cheung fun' (rice noodles). I also sometimes have 'ham suir gock' and 'sui mai'. Yummy! I am always down for dim sum.

My sleep schedule has been great since we got back from LA. I go to bed at 9 and then I wake up around 830. My nap has been awesome too. I usually nap from 2-4. So I've been getting some good sleep. :)
