A Day at the Park

Vancouver rains a lot. The weather was good for a few days. So, I'm off to the park. I'm not too keen on sitting in my stroller anymore. I can walk there!

OK, I'll hold your hand for a little bit, GongGong. But, the park isn't scary y'know.





There are so many things in the grass. Where are those doggies?



A twig for you!







Kaufu A came out to visit too.





At the end of the outing, I'm exhausted. It's nap time.

Some pix around the house

I'm a cheeky monkey. My mood is generally happy....until those pesky teeth come out again. I have 8 now.

Running Around Like a Free Spirit

I'm so glad to see you back! Have a Cheerio.

Mommy, I don't crawl anymore. I can toddle!

And here I go.... catch me if you can!



Kaufu R turned on that mesmerizing flashing screen on the wall. What is that?!



Uncle Dan and Auntie Sabrina gave me more story books. Hurray!





Please read it again!

B-day Party Number II

So my parents finally caught up on their European jetlag. And they can update my blog again.

I had my birthday party #2. I think they dressed me in the same clothes. That cake looks very familiar....



Whee.... helium balloons!





Nice photo-op!



PorPor and GongGong also came this time too!

May 11, 2008 - Happy 1st Birthday!

I'm a whole year old today. I can walk along pretty quickly, climb up and down the stairs by myself and babble a lot. I can sign a few things....mainly, "feed me". I have 5 teeth and eat almost whatever you put in front of me. I can sleep through the night. Pretty good learning for my first year of life!



YehYeh and MahMah threw me a huge birthday party with all the Aunties, Uncles and Cousins.

Thanks for taking all the pictures!



















I received so many boxes.... love the paper and crinkly stuff.







Thanks everyone!

Now, you must wonder where Mommy and Daddy are. They're somewhere called Italy. Daddy has a "conference". Apparently, my incessant need for mid-day naps and lack of stamina for late night carousing during our Australia trip meant that I'm not invited to travel abroad again until I'm 10.

So you go ahead and eat your Parmesan, Mommy.



And you go ahead with your Prosciutto and Speck, Daddy. Just remember to bring me lots of treats please! And... by the way, you owe me a birthday party when you get back.

Mornings in my Crib

Uncle Dan has a superduper fancy camera. He took some pix for Mommy and Daddy. They look studio quality!

Here I am bright and early in the morning. I'm good at entertaining myself for a couple of hours before my parents wake up.





My favourite blankie. Don't try and take this away... I'll scream.

Brunch at Granville Island

Uncle Dan and Auntie Sabrina were visiting this week. We went for brunch on Sunday at the market. I'm toddling around quickly these days.



Yay! I get puff pastry from my parents' pot pies. Can you see my 5 teeth? A fifth tooth showed up this week, bottom left.



Yum!

Hey! I'm signing to you.

I'm babbling a lot these days but I don't think my parents understand me. They get my sign language 'tho.

I've learned "I want milk", "I want more" and "I'm done". My parents can sign "change diaper" but who needs a sign for that? I just press my music box buttons over and over and they know I need a fresh nappie.
