Happy Easter 2009!

Easter continues for me…

Egg hunt


April 11th, 2009

My first Easter egg hunt. Mee mah even got me a new outfit. It was a little bit cold though so I got to wear my cute tulip cardigan that Kong Kong gave me. Thanks!

No swimming in this lake


April 10th, 2009

Sad day at the lake… there’s no more water! Well, not enough for me to go swimming in. I went to visit the dock anyway to look for treasures. We found several old beer cans, a massive tree stump and clam shells.

Lake, June 2008It’s a big difference from when I last visited the lake in June 2008, when I was a wee 7-months old. Now I’m 17 months old! Remember that trip? (Image on right…) 

So… because there was not much water in the lake, we got to go into town. Burnett was having its annual BlueBonnet festival but there weren’t very Bluebonnet-related merchandise. But I found some puppet friends. Mommy wouldn’t buy them for me :(

And we went shopping. That’s where I got these styling hot-pink glittery sunglasses and shiny pink hair clip. Actually, my auntie Natalie bought them because they were having a clearance on ‘High School Musical’ junk. She tried to keep giving me the ‘I love Troy’ headband but I opted for the shiny stuff instead.

Meeting up with the Milks


April 8th, 2009

My oldest friend is Mia, who lives in Texas. I didn’t really remember her at first but we got along swell. I think I’ll remember her from now on. She has a new brother named Nicolas, who she blogs about on her own blog.

Here’s a little video of us in the park:

Texas, Spring 2009!


March 31st, 2009

The week before my 17-month birthday (yes, everyone should celebrate their birthday every month!), we headed to Texas to visit my Texas grandparents. We call it the Taylor Manor Manor because they live in Manor, Tex. (And for all you non-Texans, that’s Mānor, which sounds like zānier). Their house is, like, a gazillion times bigger than my house. I LOVED it! Lots of place to run around, lots of new things to get into and knock over and, my favorite, lots of outdoor space to roam.

It’s my second trip and my mee-mah and pop-pop (yes, I have new names for them now that I can “talk”) could barely recognize me since they last saw me on my birthday. I’m completely different — I laugh, I dance, I sing, I even can wave bye-bye! 

My first year… in video!


February 16th, 2009

Mommy made this video for all the people who don’t want to wade through the first year of the blog. She meant to have it done by Nov. 6, but got sidetracked with taking care of me :) 

Enjoy:

Meet Widget, the dancing girl (!!)


February 8th, 2009

I haven’t been blogging much since I learned how to walk. I’m keeping everyone a little busier these days. Just to keep them on their toes, I’ve already moved on from walking, now I’m dancing!

My second Chinese New Year, part 1


January 24th, 2009

 

 

Remember what I looked last year at Chinese New Year? I’m a big girl now and my cheong-sum fits, mostly. And I have more hair, and can walk, and “talk,” and play the piano. This year, Auntie Karen’s family cooked a big feast for us. But I only got to eat noodles. Good thing I like noodles!
