our teacher gave us a string to play with at my baby class at glendale community college. is this what college students do all day?!

i went to sedona and maven's house again. sedona is a nice big sister. she gave me hugs and told me to "suck it" when the pacifier fell out of my mouth!



hanging out with maven.



i thought we liked eachother???

Q is for "Q-ute"!

7 and a half months

it was a busy week after we got back from houston. mama took me to my baby class for the fall but she forgot her camera so no pictures this week.

we went to ava and esme's house for dinner. ava's my future babysitter and tutor!



brandon and jake were there too but please don't hurt my dada, jake!




at jake's 3rd birthday party... happy birthday jake!



me and brandon were wiped out!



tatum, reese and i are maclaren babies!



is this my halloween costume, mama?!!

second trip to houston

taking a nice nap with ah-gong on our flight to houston!



i travel safe!




congratulations dada on your movie opening in houston (no thanks to hurricane ike)!



can i have a sip of the champagne?!!




dada taught me how to play the piano. did you know he taught himself?!




a day before hurricane ike at (chen) ah-gong and ah-ma's house




look what hurricane ike did to their house. a big tree collapsed onto the roof and made a huge hole in the guest bedroom. ah-gong and ah-ma couldn't sleep in their room anymore because the guest room is right above their room and the rain leaked into their room through the ceiling.

the backyard is even worse than the front. did the weatherman miscalculate? this can't be category 1 hurricane, can it?

we had no power for 2 and a half days so dada cooked with gas on the porch. mama and dada also had to fan me to sleep one of the nights because it was soooo hot and humid. thanks dada and mama... i'll fan you back in the future!

shirt or no shirt?! (thanks auntie joan and uncle jeff for my cute shirt from taiwan!)

wake up dada, lets go home!

the airports in houston were closed for ~4 days but we finally were able to fly back home to LA.

i enjoyed spending extra time with ah-gongs and ah-mas though. hope the power gets restored and chen ah-gong and ah-ma's house gets fixed soon!

first trip to maryland

i visited mama's hometown, bethesda, maryland for the first time! ah-gong came with us too! the plane ride this time was longer so i decided to sleep longer!



nice to see you again ah-ma!

i met cousin darren (and auntie tina and uncle michael) for the first time. darren is almost 6 months younger than me.

kisses always make me feel better!

i also met auntie radka, one of mama's bestfriends.

happy first grandparents day!

a day later... happy birthday auntie tina!

month 7

i spent my 7 month birthday in maryland!



i can sit up really well...
