opening presents is tiring! merry christmas everyone!

trying on my christmas hat... i think mama likes it more than me!



hanging out with ah-ma before bedtime!



socks are fun!

mama was really looking forward to taking me to get pictures with Santa, but she didn't tell me that he was so furry!



i hope you still keep me on your nice list, Santa!

month 10

ah-gong and ah-ma came to visit me again... right on my 10 month birthday!

i can crawl, stand well and still only have 2 teeth!

we went to the americana mall... are all those presents for me, dada?!!

third trip to houston

we visited texas again for the 3rd time this year to attend auntie karen's wedding and spend thanksgiving with ah-gongs and ah-mas!

ah-ma thinks i've lost my baby fat!

happy (early) birthday, dada! you left me at home so sorry i wasn't there to help celebrate!

my new friend xander came over. he's 4.5 months younger than me! can you tell he's half-cantonese?!

at descanso gardens with other friends from mommy and me class!

hanging out with tanner... we like the same toys!

9 month checkup

time has just flown by and our buddha is 9 months old!
his 2 lower teeth just came in the day before his 9 month birthday... kind of miss his gummy look! he also has more hair (slightly)!



he likes brushing his teeth!




at his doctors visit our little buddha was very busy... on the scale, on the patient bed.

his stats:
head: 17.5 inches
height: 28.5 inches
weight: 20 pounds 14 oz

first halloween

da-da has been super busy lately going to movie festivals for his movie. he went to taiwan and chicago and will be going to vancouver too so da-da didn't get to spend halloween with me :(

i went to our community halloween party to start off the halloween spirit. ma-ma said i've been there before because it was the same place where the baby shower for me was!

do you like my costume? da-da thought of it! my costume would look even better if my hair didn't grow so much!






my class had an "imagination day" for halloween

i want to be an astronaut too!

on the day of halloween i went trick or treating with my friend tanner.

tanner was skunk and his friend connery was dragon... may be i should have worn an animal costume too!

trick or treating was fun but tiring!
