Back-To-Work Party

From Aris and Katy...

I've thrown a back-to-work party today, to celebrate mama's returning to work next Monday. I was so excited to have Katie, Aris, and Ju Ju to join my party! Although we were in the same room, we didn't communicate to each other too much. Aris & I were busy biting stuffs while Katie fell asleep in her favorite swing. Sometimes, I hit Katie and she cried. Sometimes, I cried when I saw Katie & Aris cried. But it was fun.




Late afternoon, Daddy took us to his studio to take pictures, but we were hardly on the same page. The best picture captured was the one below while Mama danced crazily in front of 3 of us. We were all shocked!

If you're happy

"If you're happy and you know it clap your hands!" I clapped although I wasn't THAT happy.

How about, "If you're SLEEPY and you know it clap your hands?!"

I can cruise

I start "cruising" this week - walking while holding on to furnitures for balance. Mom hopes I won't walk too soon, but I can't stop my 小宇宙!

Itch

Something scary happened this afternoon... I suddenly had itchy rashes ALL OVER my upper body (luckily not my face). I didn't know what Dad did, but the rashes came out right after he changed my clothes. The rashes unmercifully grew on my neck, chest, and back within 5 seconds...there was at least one every 5mm... I couldn't stop myself to scratch my neck, to an extend that it almost bleed. It was the 1st time I've experienced such a thing.

Dad & Mom immediately dipped me into Aveeno Oatmeal bath and thank God that the rashes gradually went away, after around 10 minutes of soaking. Mom then put a turtle neck on me so I couldn't scratch myself anymore... and thankfully no more rashes coming out again. What a day! But good that Dad took the afternoon off to monitor me so we could play!

My first trip

The past weekend was the most adventurous time in my life...as I traveled to Galveston with Dad & Mom!!! For a 3 days journey, Mom packed my whole room to go - a travel play yard, my favorite bedding set, tons of toys, stroller, milk, food...well, you name it, she brought it. The back row and the trunk of our car were full of my belongings.

The beach house we stayed was a very decent place landing on sea water. The balcony, where all the EEs and Uncles fished, had a picturesque view. It was also where I observed the nature - fishes, seagulls, bugs, waters, boats... It was such a rewarding field trip that I actually encountered what I read from books only!!! The only disappointment was that Dad forgot to wake me up to go crabbing at 3AM, so he brought me to a dirty beach the next day. Yet, I had fun playing with sea water, first time ever. Mom said they'll bring me to Aruba next year if I behave!

契姨 gave me the biggest room to stay and I had a wonderful sleeping time. Thanks to all the uncles & EEs who tried very hard to keep the volume low. Mom was sooo surprised that I could actually nap and sleep over night in new environment like that. Mom was initially so anxious about this trip, but I behaved better than she expected other than constant screaming in the car! Also, with the amusing entertainment provided by so many EEs and Suks Suks, I had lots of fun while Dad & Mom could enjoy themselves. My favorite entertainer is...Norman Suk Suk!!!

Talking about food, while everyone had dim sum, egg tarts, HK milk tea, 蟹宴, 杧果+益力多...I also had 契姨's mom's Chicken Scallop congee and May EE's fish soup. They were 10+ times yummier than Gerber's sweet peas in my opinion.
