Just wandering the house

Dum, dum, dum... I'm finding all sorts of things to do around the house.

I can pull up to standing. I like standing on my tippy toes.




You want to organize a playdate? Let me see what I have in my schedule.



Pens are my newest toys.





Ooh! What's over there?

My First Easter

It's bunny time! Here are all my sisters.



Like my bunny ears?





Uncle A came over to visit me.





Hey, I don't remember wearing my bunny ears in this picture.

Learning New Things Everyday

This is awesome! I roll these things around and my Mommy and Daddy roll them back to me. Daddy, why do you keep on saying "fetch"?



I can climb up the stairs. The next step is figuring out how to climb down.



For now, Mommy will carry me down. Right?



And lastly, I can hold my own spoon to feed myself. Most of the time.... Daddy helps me otherwise.

Deep in Thought

Hiya! I'm good at sharing. I let Dolly and Talking Bunny ride with me.

Taking care of my new teeth

Daddy showed me how to take care of my new teeth. I even got a baby toothbrush. Let's see if I'm holding it right.

More friends!

It's been a great week. Lots of friends visiting me. Here's my favourite one.



My Uncle T had a surprise trip up from Portland.



I met baby Robert and Auntie Morie and Uncle Eddie. I'm 4 months older than him. He had to use 4 bibs over dinner. I've learned to drool less.

A new friend? Let's see what she can do.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a new friend at home today.



Hey, who are you?



You crawl too? Whee!



Psst.... have you tried the food here? It's pretty good.



Hmmm.... you're a lot sleepier than I am. Maybe if I tickle your feet, you'll wake up.



She can't keep up with me.



Ever since I started crawling and cruising, my baby fat has been disappearing. Take a look at this picture from last month --I was immobile. Cousin Annabelle was feeding me bau-bau.

Sunshine!

There is finally sunshine in Vancouver. PorPor takes me out regularly for stroller walks. I usually fall asleep very quickly.



Otherwise, I can be entertained playing with my 3 buddies or at the community center.

By the way, my second tooth arrived. Right next to the first one. I'll soon be able to chew on more than Cheerios!

Whistler in the Winter

What is a Vancouverite supposed to do during the grey, rainy winter?

Go to Whistler!

Mommy had a meeting there this Valentine's Day weekend. So up we went. MaMa and YehYeh provided my babysitting and sherpa-ing while my parents went out at night. I'm told that the slopes were in perfect condition.

It was their first time to Whistler, ever. Here I am... on the slopes at 9 months. Next year, I want to try on a pair of skis.

Despite my newfound ability to pull up, I couldn't climb out of the hotel crib! Mommy caught me in this photo trying to break out at 6am. Am I in a cage?? Boy, was I upset. How can the parents be sleeping when I'm around? I can see you! Pick me up and entertain me!

9 months old and I cut a tooth!

I'm 9 months old and I weigh 18.5 lbs. But, even better....guess what was found this morning? My first tooth! It's white ridges are just peeking out above my lower gum line.

I was quite cranky on the weekend and not happy to settle in anyone's arms except Mommy's. Nevermind that I wouldn't nap, drooled profusely, stuck out my tongue repeatedly and gnawed on my crib and music box. My parents thought I was overtired from Chinese New Year festivities. Daddy even taught me how to climb up the stairs because he thought I was bored watching Hockey Day in Canada.

So pardon me while I walk to the freezer and get my own chilled face cloth to chew on. Sorry Daddy, I can't reach the beer yet so you'll have to get it yourself.



Here I am, standing by Cousin Annabelle's amazing learning table. I can pull up and stand next to it while pressing all it's buttons.



Darn it! Down I go.... still wobbly. Thanks for the help, GongGong.

February 7, 2008 - Chinese New Year

It's the Year of the Rat. Gong Hay Fat Choy!



We went to MaMa and YehYeh's house for dinner. I received a lot of these lai see envelopes! I'm told that I should hold onto these tightly.

Silly parents, don't they know that I like to squirm out of my fancy clothes? Here I am in my Carter's shirt. Much more casual.

We found this big picture of Daddy. Doesn't he look like me?



I'm not standing by myself yet... Auntie Ronnie is helping me here. But, I can certainly pull up to standing in my crib. Again, all the better to beckon for my sherpas.
