May 2009-part 1

So much has happened since my last post that I have split my May 2009 update into 2 parts! We celebrated Mother's Day at Uncle Matt & Auntie Heather's beautiful home.



They have a nice big patio that is great for entertaining. We had a lot of yummy food and great conversations.



I had a great time playing with Cousin Patrick. He is showing me his music toy in this picture. Thank you for sharing your toys with me!

Playing with Nana

And the best part of all? Dessert! Homemade ice cream cookies. Thanks Uncle Matt!

I've been a pretty busy girl and need lots of rest so I have enough energy to play and cause trouble. Hehehe.

I am very flexible. Maybe I can become a gymnist when I get older.

I love to play my keyboard at my Grandparents' house. Yes, I like to sit on the keys because it makes funny sounds.

I also love books. I like it when people read to me and sometimes I like to read to others. Mommy says its mostly baby gibberish but the important thing is I have an interest in books.

Grandpa taught me how to work a CD/DVD drive in his computer. I can push the 'eject' button and put in a disc and close it. Maybe I can put in my own movies and watch them whenever I want. Hehehe.

This dress belonged to my Auntie Amanda (Mommy's sister). It was given to her by my Great Grandma. Everyone tells me I look exactly like my Auntie when she was this age. I'll have ask Mommy to post a picture for you to see for yourselves.

Can I get some privacy please?

I'm still getting more teeth in so I have to brush them everyday. They are very sharp too! Just ask Mommy and Daddy.

Part 2 of May to come soon!

April 2009

Oh my...where did April go? Nothing too exciting happened this month. I was sick for about 1 week but bounced right back. I missed Easter Service and dinner with the family because I was recovering from being sick. Mommy and Daddy didn't want me to share germs with everyone else.

I still got to dressed up in my Easter dress and went over to Nana and Papa's house to open my Easter baskets. The Easter Bunny brought me bubbles!!! Popping bubbles is one of my favorite hobbies. I also got books, stuffed bunnies, candy (which I don't eat), and some other cool stuff.

Feeling kind of tired but trying to be tough like a big girl.

This is Mommy's attempt in experimenting with my hair. I have discovered how to pull all bows and rubberbands out of my hair. HeHeHe. She's lucky I left the pigtails in long enough for her to get a picture.

We celebrated Mother's Day with Grandma a little early by taking her to the Annual Tulip Fesitval. Look at all the pretty colors. There was so many tulips!

These were so pretty. Us girls just had to get a picture.

Mommy is trying to stop me from kicking and stepping on the tulips. Don't hold me back!!! I'm on a mission.

I liked touching them. These red ones almost match my outfit.

Mommy and Daddy are trying to teach me to be gentle with the flowers. Ok. I'll try but no promises.

Me with Daddy and Mommy.

These are Mommy's favorite. Sorry for the late update for April. Mommy might as well start working on May's update since it's already the 20th. Hehehe.

March 2009

Hi everyone! Mommy's been really busy, so sorry for the wait on an update. I'm 18 months old now! I'm 29 inches tall and weigh 19.6 lbs. Some of my favorite things to do is talk on the phone, listen to music, make music, crawl up the stairs, and read books. Some of my favorite things to eat include oatmeal with yogurt, chips, cheese, rice, chicken, apples, and bean sprouts. The dress I'm wearing in this picture was given to me by my Grandma Bonnie last Christmas. I love the outfit and I received a lot of nice compliments. Thank you and hope you feel better soon.

My friend Morgan turned 3 on St. Patty's Day. She had a fun birthday party at Charlie Safari's (a family fun center with big bounce houses & my new favorite hang out)

I had such a good time at the birthday party. Happy Birthday Morgan! I had a great workout.

I'm still learning lots of signs. Some of my new ones are: thank you, cracker, drink, cow, dance, jump/bounce, apple, pig, bath, and shaking my head no to everything. Hahaha.

I just learned that the dishwasher is a great toy. I like to help Mommy empty the dishwasher by pulling spoons out and throwing them on the floor.

My Uncle Cory (one of Daddy's best friends from Spokane, Washington) came over to visit this last weekend. They spent a lot of time fishing. Here's the 2 fish they caught on Saturday. Good job Daddy and Uncle! It tasted very yummy.

Uncle Cory spent a lot of time reading and playing with me. I miss you Uncle, come back soon...and bring Auntie V.

Until next time......

Happy 17th month B-Day

Hi! Mommy's been slacking a bit, but she promises she'll try to post more updates. Just wanted let everyone know I'm doing well. A couple of weeks ago, we went to Charlie Safari's for a play date with my cousin Patrick, my friend Morgan, and her baby Sister Sydney.


There was a lot of fun things to do. I loved the blow-up playground. I can fall down and not really get hurt!

This was a big slide! I'm on the left with Daddy and Uncle Matt and cousin are on the right. Weeeee....

The slide was so much fun we had to go down it again. I can't wait to go back.

Quick update: I'm 17 months old now and I've learned some new signs. I now can sign more, help, please, eat, dog, music, stop, milk/nurse, and a few other ones. Now that I have about 6 teeth, I'm trying more new foods. Mommy will post more later. It's past my bedtime. Good night.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Here we are at Nana's house on Christmas Eve.

I spent Christmas day at my Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Look at all of my presents! Do you see my stuffed monkey?

I love to wrestle him.

I had so much fun tearing the wrapping paper off of my presents.

Auntie Amanda bought me new Puma sneakers!

Grandma and Grandpa bought me a scooter!

I learning how to push my legs to move the scooter.

The scooter converts into a walker. That's important because I'm learning to walk.

Pictures with Boyfriend

We attempted to take Christmas pictures right before Thanksgiving. It didn't turn out as planned.

My boyfriend fell asleep before we could get started. Auntie and Mommy had to dress him in his tux while he was napping.

Mommy really wanted to get a nice family portrait so she could use it for our Christmas cards. I wasn't being very cooperative. I kept trying to crawl away so I could go play. This was the best one we got.

My Grandma Chau bought be this pretty dress to match my beautiful ruby red slippers my Aunt Heather bought me for my birthday.

I had to take a break from the photoshoot and get a quick snack. Poor Mommy was so desparate for a nice family photo.

I look like such a big girl in this picture. It's Mommy's favorite.

When my boyfriend finally woke up, he kept pulling my hair. Auntie and Mommy said that's what boys do when they like a girl. Silly boys....

How embarrassing. We have no clothes on.

The parents thought it would be cute to try to get formal pictures of me and boyfriend. We weren't too happy about having to pose and hold still for the camera. Overall, it didn't turn out too bad. What do you think?
