Back to the US

Finally I am back to the US to update my blog!

However, where should I start. I had so many pictures about our life here and there. Let's just do last 2 months.

Jet is 3 1/2 year old. He is so proud of his age, everything is about this No. 3. How many do you want, "3!!!" if something is not on his way, he would shout: I am 3!!"

Tess is 13 month. She is learning fast, she can say: Dada, Jet, Tess, this, that, Papa, yesterday, she even said cactus when we were saying that. She understand more than her simple words.She like to copy Jet, when jet sneeze, he always come with a little cry to get someone's help. Meimei did the same thing. When people laugh, meimei would join it and laughing to. She is a very friendly little girl, say" hi" to everyone.

Meimei's one-year-old birthday! we got quite a lot of people here. we are super happy that day( but maybe you can't tell in the picture)

We went to Changzhou to visit mom's friend, she took us to the dinosaur park, we Love it! its not just dinos. they have some other animals to see, and some fun rides.

Here is the elephant show in the dinosaur park

I am allergic to mosquitos, look at my scary eye. Its not the worst, the first day, you can only see a line of this eye.

We went to visit uncle Howard and aunt Whitney in Colorado. They took us to see kayack racing and river rafters on their fast, deep river. Also, we saw dogs retrieve sticks as their masters threw them in the water.

woo...look at that canoe

Grandma took all the grandkids to see a bird show. we all enjoyed it, the birds were so close to us, right on our head. Nathan is so funny, haha...

4 adults VS 6 kids

We are in a classic car show. we add hot dogs, chips, fruits,cupcakes( our kids' favorite), we also play the games.
The party almost over, they dump all the ice cubes out, Meimei enjoyed eating and playing with it.

Love those ice cubes!

I win this cake when I was playing in the cake-walk game at the car show. Everybody was impressed that I pick the biggest one. I didn't care about the size, but I like those white flowers.

We went to the library, we played side walk chalk, blow some bubble and eat some popsicles in the hot sun.

heehee...we are riding an dinosaur train

We are so happy today at the zoo, we saw so many animals. we saw dinosaur( bone) , elephant, different kids of monkeys, birds, ape, crocodiles, turtles, giraffe, peacock, snake, leopard. everybody is wearing a hat except mommy, so she got an big giant one, she said because this one got more shade. haha

Summer is truly coming, its too hot

Meimei ride a dolphin, when the merry-go-round moved, she was scared at first, but then she liked it, and she want to do it again. Too bad she only can ride once.

Heehee...I am riding an Eagle...in the zoo.

I saw the real Giraffe! his neck is sooo long. He was trying to stay under the shade, but still his neck couldn't get in.

4th of July, Grandma's church had a big breakfast, I didn't care about the food, but care about a lots of kids to play with and I want to play the ball like big kids.

My favorite grandma, my favorite naughty Meimei& my favorite mommy.

We love to play at the church playground, play those tiny stones, same like we liked to play with the sand.

Kids in Live TV show

2011-04-18T19:27:00.000-07:00

上个星期六我们宝宝和妹妹上江苏综艺频道家有宝贝节目了！他们第一次上电视，包括我和梅森也是第一次，所以觉得值得一写，以作纪念。
一个星期前的周末，我们一家和外婆一起去万达广场吃饭，突然冒出来一个人说我们家小孩很可爱，要不要参加他们的节目。梅森让我决定要不要去，所以我就说好阿，但是只有周末有空。所以周三我就把我们宝宝一些照片和视频送过去让他们挑选。周六1点半到7点半，我觉得这个时间太长了对我们小孩来说，所以我和梅森是1点半到的电视台，外婆和小孩是3点到的，本来觉得我儿子睡了午觉肯定就没有问题，没想到没有睡醒，一直吵着要回家，3点开始彩排，本来我一点都不紧张，可是因为宝宝要我抱，妹妹也要我抱，我就一手抱着大宝一手拿着话筒开始和主持人对话，我手又太酸抱不动了，宝宝又不合作，让他自我介绍，唱歌，他都说不要不要，我要回家，看着镜头，我真是觉得丢脸死了，梅森也是。还好是彩排，我们后来就开始带宝宝出去走走，去小卖部买他喜欢的雪碧，还答应他，如果他合作就有冰激凌，糖吃，还有一个礼物。他一会说好一会说不好，但是至少愿意下来走路，但是不想回摄影棚。后来我们都去化妆间开始化妆，那些来比赛的小演员也在那里化妆玩，那时候估计宝宝是真醒了开始和那几个哥哥姐姐打成一片，在那里痴笑。这时候妹妹开始累了，我给她喂奶想哄她睡觉，可是那里太吵了，试了两次都不行，后来外婆抱她出去哄还是没有睡觉，但是已经很累很不开心了。还是我抱着出去唱歌弄她睡着了。直播开始前15分钟，梅森把她弄醒，那时候我真生梅森气，干吗不让她多睡10分钟呢，他觉得如果刚醒肯定不开心那时候上台不好，可是我们是2号选手，前面还有1号表演呢。不过她已经醒了没有办法拉。轮到我们我就给妹妹塞了一个玩具－－溜溜球给她玩，希望她这样不会哭。宝宝那时候也比彩排时好多了，愿意让梅森抱着表演，其他小朋友是又是唱歌又是跳舞的，我宝宝还是让爸爸抱着帮助着自我介绍还有唱字母歌的，让我们开心的是他至少愿意说话愿意唱歌了，就是声音太低了。妹妹呢，因为灯光太亮还有她也没有睡醒，不管我怎么尽量弄她正对镜头她都要靠我肩膀，屁股对着镜头，还要偶尔哭两声，还把她的溜溜球掉演播室地上，主持人帮她捡起来，被大宝看见，非要拿溜溜球只好给他。梅森协助我回答主持人的话，满头大汗，后来他告诉我这个是他觉得最有压力的半天。不管怎么样，我们没有太丢脸，要赢就别想了。后来一个6，7岁得小女孩评委给我们宝宝作评价，她说，他得歌唱得很简单，但是她有一个可爱的妹妹。。。看来妹妹一直给我们家带来好运。我们后来出去走动，等我们回来已经是最后一个可爱的小男孩在表演“黑猫警长舞蹈”了。他也得了17颗牙，和我们宝宝并列第一，太不敢相信，也让我觉得太不公平了，其他小孩比我们宝宝表演得都要好很多。我们小孩赢了一辆玩具跑车，一个比他们人还要打大的玩具狗还有两张各价值448元的摄影券。今天下午我们就要去拍了。这次经历让我们明白长得可爱会一直是你的优势。 2011－4－19

Finally I can post these pictures since we were in Hongkong last weekend.
We went to Hongkong Ocean Park, it was a busy fun trip, the only thing that was hard is to move two kids around in a big stroller. Mason is still in Shenzhen for the company business, I took the kids alone to fly back to Shanghai. Everybody seems surprised to see me carry a baby in the snuggly, two bags on the shoulder and holding hand of another kid. People were willing to help me when I need help. Anyway, we had a fun exhausted trip. HAHA
I took those pictures when we(including my mom) were in Las Vegas, Utah, Shanghai, Nantong my parents house, and Hongkong Ocean Park. I took a picture with Meimei and my two grandma in the resthome.
I guess, I will wait to put more pictures when I will be in the US again for Christmas.

Jet didn't like this swing chair, but meimei likes it, she always fail asleep in this chair.

Jet is helping meimei wear her socks, but obviously she doesn't like it.

Meimei is taking a bath, she likes to take a bath, and Baobao is helping too

Grandma is such a great helper here.she is helping Mama, she is helping baobao, she is also help meimei, whenever she cries, grandma always show up to hold her. But this also spoiled meimei, she is being so naughty recently, she still cries even though you hold her.
Meimei Loves daddy, here is the shirt to prove it! (Okay technically, the shirt says that daddy loves the baby, but I'm sure the feeling is mutual.)

It's been a week...

2010-05-31T19:50:00.000-07:00

Its been a week, Tess is eating very well, most of time, when she wakes up, she is searching for the milk, she lost some weight the first two days, we were worried, but now, look at her face, she is obviously gaining weight.

Jet Loves his little sister, he always come to give her kisses, when she cries, he always climb up her crib, check on her, and then came to me, say, " oh, no, baby ku( ku means cry in chinese)".

Our baby girl born

2010-05-25T14:49:00.000-07:00

In the morning of May 21, I start to have bloody show, and contraction. we waited until midnight to go to the hospital, and the contraction was 8 to 10 minutes in between.

At the hospital, a midwife checked me and said my body wasn't ready for the baby, she told me to do some walk for 40 mins see if things change, if not, she will send us home. So I climbed the stairs from the first floor to 7th floor 4 times. She checked me, said I made a little progress but still she couldn't admit me. And then I tried to take a hot shower, the contraction came more frequently and stronger, but still she said I wasn't ready. Mason insisted to have the baby today, then she gave me a shot of morphine and another drug that was supposed to help my pain and help me fall asleep while I continued to dilate. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned and I continued to feel the contractions and couldn't fall asleep. Mason fell asleep though, because he was tired. At 7AM I couldn't stand the pain any longer. I woke Mason up through my tears. He went and got the midwife. We were surprised and happy to find out I was already dilated to 9cm and ready to have the baby. The hospital people were unprepared for me, because I was so close to having the baby. They didn't have time to give me medication and epidural or to send me to the delivery room. So, I ended up giving birth to our little Tess in the observation room. She was 6 lbs 14 oz and 19.5 inches long. We think she's so pretty and are so happy to have her join our family!

Here is Tess, she just born

Tess start to look at this new world...

Tess and grandma from China

This May is a busy month for our family. We are waiting for our baby girl to come out every day since the doctor said any time on May is possible.

I Had two little baby showers.

I had my Birthday celebration.

And also Mother's day. I had breakfast in bed that morning, I also got a big gift--Mac laptop. Mason said its not for the mother's day gift, its my pregnant gift. I wouldn't be bored while I am doing my monthly rest after the baby. What a nice husband!!!

May is my lucky month!

One Baby shower at Denice's house.

Another Baby shower at the company

Jet Bring me Flowers on my birthday, the first flower from my son!!!

Jet helped me opened my present together from Mason, Its a real Korean stone pot, I can make Bimbibap then.

Mason didn't make the cake, He bought it. He told me before dinner, he is going to pick up a cake for my birthday, then when he came home with empty hand, he said cake is too expensive. "No, its not!" I said. I was a little sad to know that my birthday wouldn't have a cake. But after dinner from the restaurant, he show up an surprise cake.Haha...

Jet's growing

2010-04-28T12:40:00.000-07:00

Jet---is 2 year and 3 months now, he is not only making a progress of counting, but also knows all the English letters very well. When I was cooking yesterday, he kept bringing me the letters and telling me what it is, I always praise him: Good Job, Baobao! sometimes he made mistakes, I correct him, he would say: Good Job, Mama! That's so funny, makes me laugh.

He likes to organize things in a pattern, I was very impressed the pattern of letters being organized when he finished playing the magnet letters on the refrigerator; when he was playing at the patio, he sometimes organize the shoes outside.

He thinks mom's belly button means "meimei"( little sister in chinese". He always gave her kisses and use his doctor kit to measure her.

Daddy is teaching me how to play hockey. Its always been a fun time for me to play with dad, he sometimes teach me play the baseball too, but I usually swing the bat too early.

We went to Japan town last weekend because they have a cherry blossom festival there. I saw some fake fish, tortoise there, we had some food there, we watched some show there...

Mommy gave me a sticky ball, and told me to eat it, its called" mochi". Japanese dessert, mommy's favorite, but not mine.

Me and daddy in front the "penzai" show

Last night Mommy had a girls's night---dinner club, it means we have no dinner with mommy, but we had a boy's night. We(Uncle Derek, Ed, Daddy is taking the picture) went to chuck E. cheese , I Love that place!

Happy father and son

March!

2010-03-19T10:37:00.000-07:00

I surprised Mason to celebrate his birthday two days ahead, Because we are going to Tahoe to snowboarding with his group in the company. I made him a little cake, I ran out of time, so the cake looks ugly, but tastes great.

I invited two couples, our neighbor and our good friends Teng and Pang.

I didn't go snowboarding of course, I took Jet to sledding with another lady with her daughter, she is very nice helped Jet sledding down. The place we sledding has a beautiful view by the big lake. that's the best picture I can get without Jet moving too much.

I didn't know Mason's group knows his Birthday(that why I did a little celebration at home), but they know, so the big group 21 people went to Chevy's(a Mexican restaurant) to have dinner. then we went back to cabin, play games, eating cake and Mason's favorite banana cream pie. Mason said he had great birthday this year.

Yesterday I took Jet to the park, we spent an hour and half there. He had a lot of fun, but the hardest thing was to take him home, I was fighting with me to leave the park, I have to carry him all the way to the car with his struggling! I am 7 month pregnant, I don't like to carry him that far.

Trip in China

2010-03-02T15:20:00.000-08:00

It was a long long way to go to China. Here I am, waiting for the flight in the stroller in Korea. I am pretty tired this time because I only slept 1 hour during my first time as a cognizant individual on a 12-hour flight.

One of my cousins was excited to come to visit me in the morning, here she is feeding me a dumpling for breakfast.

Mama took me to one of her classes where she taught elementary school before I was born, all the kids in that class was very curious as to where I was from.

It is pretty cold in China, I am wearing lots of clothes and my favorite shoes, holding grandpa's tea cup (I thought there were little fishes in that cup.) I am watching a Chinese cartoon.

A lot of people came to celebrate my birthday in China; I am enjoying my cake.

Grandma knows my favorite, she got me ice-cream at KFC.

I am eating Chinese noodles in Suzhou.

Mama and I visited an uncle and auntie in Suzhou, we are in a Korean Teppanyaki place. Sausage was the only thing that I liked to eat.

In Uncle and Auntie's house, I like to play this no-head game. Everyone thought that I am funny.

Chinese New Year's Eve, we had dinner together with Mama's cousin's family. I started a new habit of calling Mommy "Mama" instead of Mom from the second day of our trip forward. Mom's cousins came to visit a week or so to celebrate Chinese New Year with us.I had great time playing with the boy in the picture (my second cousin, Jiacheng.) He is my favorite cousin, we had lots of fun playing together, and he took really good care of me.

After dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, Dad helped me light some fireworks. I got to play with some special "kids-size" fireworks, I Loved it!!! Dad was a little nervous.

I am taking my bubble bath..

This is Auntie Dandan's wedding day. She was still wearing big coat because it's so cold in China. One of the traditions in Chinese Wedding culture is for the groom hand out the cigarettes to the guest. Dad was a good sport and accepted it, but as you can see he just put it on the table.

Jet had a lot of adventures in China. Here he is with Mason excited to see a truck load of chickens on the street.

Not again... I still scared...

But I am happy to watch mom making snow balls and hit the tree.

My best buddy--Alex, you can tell from the picture!

Mommy hasn't taken me to the park for a long time, I am so happy to play at the park today, even though there is only me and a big boy at the park today.

Bubble bath...I am not really like the bubble very much, When Mommy is trying to put the bubbles on my body, my hair, I don't like it! However, Mommy seems enjoying playing with the bubble, keep on putting bubbles on me and laughing...

We had two thanksgiving dinner this year. We went to Rachel's(known from Jet's playgroup) house for the Thanksgiving day dinner. Here is Jet and Gabriel playing, accidentally he bumped his head on a chair, the next second he start to cry...
...and two days later we went to Teng and Pang's house for late Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey was so cheap after Thanksgiving. We had really good food at their house. Jet didn't enjoy the food, but enjoyed playing with Gwen.

Half Moon Bay Pier

Me and Daddy ready to go catch crabs with fishing poles, because we went to Pacifica to catch the crab this morning, but the wave was too big, we lost our crab net. That's too bad, but we moved to this spot, but still got nothing, we just had bad luck today.

This is me and Daddy. Daddy took me go for a walk to see the boats and some dogs. I enjoyed it very much, the only things is my small steps was very hard to catch up Daddy's steps.

At the Pier, the other guy was fishing, but a bird fly by, and he caught a bird instead of fish. Here is the video.

Haloween

2009-11-02T09:05:00.000-08:00

Our new closet! Mason finished the closet project two weeks ago. It wasn't a easy job, because our old door is not a standard size, and the customer order is so expensive, so we decided build the wall on the side and also build the wall down from the ceiling.
Every time if Mason want do something, he always do it perfectly. He even put the same flooring to match the rest of the house downstairs.

Looks much better, isn't it? If you've been to our house before.

Jet is a panda for Halloween, He is very happy to be his "Di". I am glad I found that costume for him.

Mason's company's Halloween Party: Mason is a biker. I couldn't recognize him when I saw him.

There are some cool costumes in Stryker's Halloween Party.

These five Kids went to Trick-or treat together.Two girls sit by Jet's side are Jet's friends Gwen and Helli. The other two big boys are Helli's brothers. They had fun!

This year, Jet knows what "Candy"and "trick or treat" mean, not like last year. Look at him, hold his pumpkin tight, He wouldn't let mom or dad help him to carry it when the pumpkin get heavier. He is so happy to follow the big boys to go to houses one by one. What a happy Halloween!

Halloween's coming

2009-10-23T13:49:00.000-07:00

Last weekend, we went to a Pumpkin Patch with Teng&Pang. Here is Jet and Gwen!

Dad, I picked my own Pumpkin!

So many Pumpkins, I wish I can take all of them home, I am taking a break, Moving pumpkins around made me tired.

We went to Teng's place after to carve the pumpkin. Dad made a happy face, but I still got scared to look those faces.

2009-08-27T21:35:00.001-07:00

We went to Children Discover Museum last week, There is so many things to see, to play. Mom to me I went there when I was 7 months, but I couldn't remember.
Look! I am on a Chinese Bamboo boat.

I am playing with the sand, my favorite thing to do is always play with the sand and water.

I am trying to throw the ball into the water, then the wall can go into the hole and the ball will come out again.

wow, that's so cool, the water is pushing the water in the air!

Hey mom, I know him, he is in my Curious George movie.

I am playing the Golf, I don't know this is called Golf until I come here, I usually play at home to with my drum stick push the ball on the floor, I think, this is the same thing.

2009-08-19T14:42:00.000-07:00

I like to play with big kids. I think they are more fun to watch, because they seems like they can do lot of interesting things.

Uncle Teng is very nice, hand me some candy anyway.

Yosamiti

2009-07-31T21:30:00.000-07:00

My First time camping experience: live in a wild life! I can do whatever I want except for touching the fire. I can play the sand, play with the water. My favorite thing to do was find a wooden stick and a bucket fill with water, grab a handful of sand, and through them into the bucket, and then use my stick to poke it. That's was so much fun, I can play that under the sun for hours. Mommy had ask dad to move the bucket under some shade.

I love Yosamiti lakes, rivers. The water is so clean and cool there. I enjoyed play by the river even through it was super hot. The only thing I don't like is my face got burned a little, so one night I almost woke up all the people near our camping area.
I saw a lot of interested things there too, like squirrel, little fishes, birds. My favorite words I said during this trip was "Ah-ow, e-di---"

2009-07-15T13:54:00.000-07:00

Recently, my favorite thing to do is to play with those chalks, draw some lines, some special circles( this is how I draw my circle, I keep on drawing few lines while I turning my body like a circle.

Look at Jet, he can sit on a tiny cup! he likes to sit on everything, sit on my head, sit on my stomach, sit on his toy, like a drum, that, I can understand, because the Drum looks like something you can sit.

Jet was laughing so hard when he was trying to poke my eyes.

4th of July

2009-07-06T22:43:00.000-07:00

We went the fairground last Friday. I saw a lot of things, a lot of people.

There are a lot of rides, but not many rides for babies. I ride this one, I was scared when mommy put me there alone, but whenever mommy rides with me, I'm not so scared. In the end, it was Fun!

Hi, People, I have to yell to you that I'm sooo excited to see so many things!

Another ride! I like this one a lot, I was very happy to ride this giant elephant not like the first one with a lot of screaming.

I'm tired, I feel its too loud here. Mom, can we go home?

4th of July, we went to a big swimming pool. I was so sad when daddy put me into the water. I was scared when I feel like things are not normal. Like this time I couldn't stand in the water.

I feel much more comfortable in this baby pool(because I can walk in this little pool), I'm playing the water-gun in the water. I can stay here all day long.

last weekend of June

2009-06-29T23:57:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday, we went to Santa Cruze again but a different area. Its a fun place, have a lot of rides, but only for adults and big kids. We walked along the beach, watching people playing volley ball, singing, and playing, then we joined daddy for fishing. We caught a lot of small fish this time, our next goal is to catch a big fish.

I turned 17 months on this family picture!

Teng&Peng hang out with us again on Sunday, Mason, Teng&Derek went to see the movie transformer 2. Girls made sushi at home. I showed Peng how to roll the sushi , then she made an baked sushi roll. I made California roll, crazy California roll(deep fried), salmon, tuna, yellow tail nigiri, and I used the rest of fish to make sashimi. We were so full after finished almost all the sushi. We went to swimming after that, surprise, Jet sacred of water this time, maybe he just scared of dark or he was tired.

It was so hot this weekend, finally, mommy made daddy cut my hair. I feel a lot of cooler now.

play at the park

2009-06-29T23:13:00.000-07:00

My friends

2009-06-29T22:57:00.000-07:00

This is Gwen, she is 7 months younger than me. She likes to look at me.

I have a playgroup, so that I can play with other kids every week. we are playing the balls outside in the picture. You see two big kids? Usually they don't come, but its summer break, so they came with their little sister that day.

She is the only girl in my playgroup. we both love to "play" the piano!

Alex is my good friend, we almost play with each other everyday. he live just next by our door.

Xander is also my friend because my mommy and his mommy are good friends because my daddy and his daddy are co workers. Haha

Fun Weekend!

2009-06-21T22:30:00.000-07:00

This Saturday, Mom&Dad took me to the berry farm in Santa Cruz which is one hour and half away from our house. I picked few strawberries. Mom taught me to pick the big one, but I like the small one. small strawberries are cute and easy to squeeze for me.

After the berry farm we stopped by the beach to watch people surfing with a big kite. I said "Wow" twice when I saw the big kite. I like this beach because the sun is shining. not so cold like San Fransisco beach.

Do you like this picture of Daddy and me? We are looking at the waves crashing in onto the beach. I liked to watch them until some of the cold sea water got on my little toes! Yaoza!

Happy Father's Day, Dad! Daddy got a new baseball jersey that he has been wanting for when we go to the Giants games. Mommy made a delicious sushi dinner, Daddy's favorite.

Happy Daddy's Day! See my big smile? I am only missing two bottom teeth now!

Baby play Wii game

2009-06-19T21:44:00.000-07:00

I haven't post my new post for a long time, I was lazy, sorry about that!

Vacation

2009-05-24T21:54:00.001-07:00

We got Whitney&Howard came to visit this week, mason took Thursday&Friday off to drive them around, we had lots of fun together. we went to Monterrey Bay Aquarium, our first time to go there. we saw different kinds of fishes, crabs, shark...Jet was keep on saying his new word Aish,Aish(fish)...
We also went to San Fransisco to see the chocolate factory(when we got there, someone told us the factory doesn't exist since 1860, but we had tasted the chocolate ice cream there in a small shop, so yummy!) .
we've been to Boudin before, and we just had yummy icecream, so we didn't stay there for lunch. we went to a popular sandwich place. After trying their sandwich, I wasn't surprised people standing outside to finish their sandwich, because its such a small restaurant that only have enough space to make sandwich.
Under the golden gate bridge, we caught three big crab, but its too cold to stay in the beach, we decide to go home, but it was fun to us!

Nemo!!!

Dorifish

Jet is trying to eating the giant leg from the crab

I cut Jet's bang too short, it was an accident, I am sorry, baby. Mason and Derek think he looks like the Vulcan Spock from Star Trek.

Our Weekend---Saturday

2009-05-18T10:49:00.000-07:00

I am so happy to go to beach today, I am wearing a new hat to match my shirt, but its so windy on the beach, my hat only stayed my head for few minus, then he flied to the beach forever. But I am still happy, its an adventure for me to catch some fish, some crabs...

and hang out with my friend" Gwyneth", she seems so happy when I kick her feet.

Daddy caught a Star Fish, he gave it to me, I said "no", I didn't want touch it because I was scared. Daddy might forgot, anything looks like fingers always scares me.

Its a busy day for me, and now I am fast asleep...

We have 1 fish, 6 crabs come home with us. we caught about 25 crabs, but we have to put them back if they're smaller than those in the picture, and another type of crab we are not allowed to catch them, we have to put them back, that's the rule.

This is our Sunday dinner, Crab!
Taste sooo delicious because We caught them!

Isn't that a pretty Cake? Denice made it for my birthday.Its aso yummy too. my dinner club girls celebrate my birthday in advance, they took me to the nail place, did pedicure, then we went to Kimberly,Bri&Candice's house to celebrate.

Jet "bought" me a pair of sandals as mother's day gift, but he wants to try it for me first, and wear them in the house to see if they are comfortable.
Mason surprise me with pretty earrings as mother's day gift. its very pretty, has a special stone called "emerald" in it, some little diamonds around the emerald. I love it! what a good husband!haha

The mailman came with a box of my birthday presents from Mom(mason's mom), Jet ran to the door, opened the box(with my help). "wow""wow" that the only word he kept on saying while we open the presents together. obviously from the picture, we both love the necklace. I'm glad I got one of mom's barbie collection, " If mom send me barbie every year from her collection, I will have my own collection!" I told mason. Mom, I was kidding, don't take it serous!

My drama

2009-04-10T11:55:00.001-07:00

There was nothing going on last week, no trip, no party, I just eat, play, sleep, shopping like normal. The only difference is I am following mommy's potty training plan every morning since Monday.
Here I want to tell a story about my chocolate:

I LOVE chocolate, I am taking a big bite of this giant chocolate!

Mommy took the chocolate away, I was so made, I found the box, but it was empty there...so sad!!!

Can I have my chocolate back please...can you see a little tear in my eye?

Yeah! My chocolate is back! what a nice day today......hm.....%#@....

Las Vegas---Taunya's house

2009-03-31T20:20:00.000-07:00

We went to Vegas last week for Miya's baptism. It was a short rip, but we are very happy to be there, to me, feels like home since my china home is so far away, to Jet, it was fun to meet a lot of kids and to see his favorite dog Teddy again. A lot of people from both sides of their family came. Stu's family rent a house for 3 days. It is a nice house, you can tell from the picture, it has swimming pool, pool table, steam room...
Too bad Taunya&Stu was too busy hosting, we didn't get a lot of chance to talk to them. They are such a blessed family as usual, we are very happy to see them again.

I like driving, I am playing with my new friends. But I couldn't understand why Miya put two fingers together. I am too small to know.

These are my friend's Olivia and Riley. They are so pretty! We had fun jumping on their tramp and watching them do gymnastics tricks when Mom and Dad went to visit their parent's Joe and Amy.Rily is very good at Gymnastics, look at the pictures, wow!

Here is Mommy and I with their mom and Olivia and Riley again.

Miya is the one that got baptized. Here we are in a picture together. Miya is also taking Gymnastics class, but I didn't get any chance to see her skills.

This weekend

2009-03-21T20:46:00.000-07:00

I am always pretty interested in shoes, sometimes I carry mommy's slippers around the house. Its fun, you must try! And now I am trying to squeeze my foot into Daddy's shoe.

Today we went to hiking in Misson Peak Mountain, Before we started, we took a picture. Mommy seems pretty happy, she didn't know its a long way to go. daddy knows, he's been here nce, this time he is considering how hard is it with carrying me on the backpack carrier.

Yeah...we did it! here is me and mommy on the top of the mountain eating food. we hand, feet is freezing, but I don't care. I saw a lot of cows back there, I like it a lot.

We just got to the top of the mountain, Daddy seems much more happy now...I was kidding, daddy was happy all the time, I was make fun of him in the first picture, heehee

Can you believe, we walk&climb that far? ....to the top of the mountain?

Baby------happy and sad in one second

2009-03-15T21:14:00.000-07:00

Mason doesn't want me put this Video on our blog but I think its cute, I put it anyway.

I am copying mommy

2009-03-15T20:08:00.000-07:00

Jet saw us sweeping the floor all the time(because he always make a mess).
He is sweeping the floor, he is enjoying it!

Jet's getting bigger

2009-03-15T15:53:00.000-07:00

I like to go outside, I like the fresh air, green grass, bright sun, etc.

Me and Daddy. No.1

Me and Daddy. No.2

Me and Mommy in the outside of our house.

I "took" a picture of mommy and Daddy on Daddy's birthday. It's dessert time! Too bad I didn't have a chance to take a picture of the food mommy make. she made lots lots of sushi, Japanese curry with rice, pot sticker, tempura. almost all the food gone so fast in 15 mins.

2009-03-08T13:54:00.000-07:00

I have been very tired lately, usually I nap for 3 hours. This makes it hard for me to go to bed on time. So, Mom has to wake me up from my naps after two hours. One day after she woke me up, I saw my "Di" on the stairs, so I crawled up to grab him, but as soon as I made it, I fell asleep on him.

Mommy and Daddy took me to Toys-R-Us. I saw so many animals that looked like "Di". I saw this Pooh bear that reminded me of him, so we were friends while we were there. Mommy put this funny hat on me. She thinks it makes me look very cute! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

While we were there, one of the girls that worked there thought I looked so cute, she asked me if I would be willing to model for her so that I could help her get her Kiddie Kandids photography certification. She gave Mommy a free 5X7 of one of the pictures she took. I was glad to oblige this time, but please, no autographs!

A lot of passers-by said I am such a cool kid! I think so too!

My favorite thing to do in the play ground is "the car". sometimes there is so many kids there, we have to wait until the car is empty. I don't understand some kids don't know how to share. I was trying to get into a car once, he pushed me out, and made me fell! so got be very careful of those kids. I like the slide too, but so far its too hard for me to climb up, so have to give up.

"Wu-----"!!!!!! look at my arm.........................

Eat！yum-----

2009-02-24T21:37:00.000-08:00

What did I eat? I forgot.
Oh...I remember now, mommy gave me chocolate flavored" poky".
when I like to eat something, I really like it, I would be a fan of it, like delicious milk, "poky" sticks, yogurt, sweet but moisture treats, Lucky Charm...

Mommy is making the custard for banana cream pie, how nice she let me lick the spatula, Yummy!!!!
I was adventuring a new kind of chinese yogurt drink, It's so delicious, I drink all of them. Of course, I also made a mess, my shirt was all wet, that's why I am half naked, sorry about that!

Last second I was happy, now, I am unhappy, because mommy does n't want me touch the camera! but I really want to see the pictures in the camera, and I really know how to use it.
Please don't treat me like a baby---
I learn things so fast:
--- I understand and know how to say EAT. if you say eat, I would be waiting by my seat for the food coming.
---I know how to say thank you in chinese. Xiexie!
---I know my stuffed animals, especially my panda(xiongmao in chinese), I know he always lying down on my bed upstairs. I named my two big stuffed animals"Di". I love them, they are my good friends. I don't like the small stuffed animals that much, I have many of them, but I always throw them on the floor.
---I know if I kiss mommy, she would say xiexie to me...
---When I take a bath, mommy always put a lot of bubbles on my body, my arm, and my hands, I don't like bubbles on my hands, I would put my hands in the water and then it all disappeared.
---I almost walk upstairs & downstairs like mom&dad, but I need to hold the handrail in case I fall. once I fell, it hurts me very bad...
oh well, those are all the examples of the things I capable to be, I can do more than that. only one thing I am embarrassed to tell you, I like to hit people, but please understand, I don't know how to say a lot of words know, I hit you because I wanna communicate.

Valentine's day

2009-02-24T21:11:00.000-08:00

Our informal family pictures on Valentine's day. mason is busing looking at his favorite news on the computer, Jet is more interested in the books on the book shelf.
Actually me and mason celebrated valentine's day not on Valentine's day but a day ahead since we have a baby always keep us busy. Derek was very nice to watching Jet while we went out on a date.

Mommy made heart shape pancake with raspberry syrup, bacon as breakfast on Valentine's day. As mommy's spokesman in the picture, this is dinner mommy made on Valentine's. she was so busy that she did n't even give me a hug!

Uncle Derek looks all the same in every picture, look at his big smile!

Chinese New Year Parade

2009-02-08T22:18:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we went to San Francisco to watch the big chinese new year parade! Daddy said there is 10 big parade in the US, and this is one of them. Its Awesome, indeed! I watch the show for almost the whole time without make any noise, right before the parade was over I was so tired that I felt asleep.
Here is the picture of me and mommy in a chinese restaurant. The food isn't so great, I'd rather eat my cranberries...

Family picture in front of the “孙中山” statue---a famous chinese politics leader.

I like the dance, but got scared by the dancing lion. there is so many lions, they tried to got my attention, but I stayed as back as I can.

Everybody seems like me, there are few people from the parade threw candy to me, some came put a stuffed panda in my hand, a girl also stop by, gave me a stuffed tiny bear as a souvenir.
This is the Mayor of San Francisco shaking hand with me! someone is blocking my face, but can you spot me behind that arm?

I am so tired that I felt asleep.
Goodnight parade!

2009-01-27T20:50:00.000-08:00

I am eating carrot and celery, I didn't like cake very much, but like to chew cake and celery. Mommy said I am a healthy baby, but I Love ice cream

I am playing the drum with uncle sohail. I can play in hours!

I am so happy today, but now I am tired...

The chocolate is tempting while daddy is serving grandma's homemade chocolate around.

This is Rohini, isn't she cute? I would like to give her a Big smile!

Jet's 1 birthday!

2009-01-27T20:28:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow will be my birthday party, Grandma Marilyn made me panda cake, panda is my favorite animal so far. she also made a tiny cake for me to eat. I love my grandma. Everybody must Love grandma too because of that panda cake.

I supposed to eat the cake, but I poked it, then I feel like I have dirt all over my fingers. Mom, can you please wash my hand?

As chinese tradition, I suppose to pick up whatever I like on the floor, which reflects my future.so I picked pencils. maybe I will be a writer or painter or a very knowledgeable man... I almost picked up keyboard, guitar, but so many people around me said"wow" at the same time, that scared me, I found mommy to hide. Good to know there is a word "wow" to express your surprise. so every time mom&dad helped me open a present, I use this word, a very useful word.

Mom&Dad seem more happy to open this present than me.

I laugh so hard

2009-01-26T15:56:00.000-08:00

Look at my daddy, he is silly but so funny!
Uncle derek is taking this video, I almost called his name 3 times, I'm wondering what is that black box he's playing with. now I know it's the camera!

I am soooo tired

2009-01-22T17:20:00.000-08:00

Today mommy tried to make me take a nap, but I didn't want to, I struggled... cried... for half an hour. finally mommy gave up. But now I am so tired, I should have listened to mom.
oh, by the way, do you notice I got a haircut?

I am on vocation

2009-01-06T22:46:00.000-08:00

Jet's first Christmas

2009-01-06T22:19:00.001-08:00

I am riding a horse, surprise! I usually scared of any kind of big fake animals, this time I like it,but that's not my favorite. my favorite is grandma's Kitty---

I Love my plastic food, it made me grow up more teeth. I grow another 3 teeth in a week. I am happy with 6 teeth now, just because its easy to bite. sometimes I bite mommy too.

Let me look at my sock, whats in it? crayons, movie,magnet, candies...I like Christmas!

我的近况

2008-12-19T13:01:00.000-08:00

前天昨天我都去了美国的牙医那边，第一次是清洁牙齿，第二次是他们帮我安排了一个大的治疗方案。我居然有18颗蛀牙！说出来就是一件丢脸的事情。我以前都是牙齿痛才去看牙医没想到这里用X光一照就全都照出来了。昨天因为时间有限他们帮我先弄了4颗牙。没有我想象的那么恐怖，而且医生给你打了麻药一点也不痛的。这里看牙齿我比较喜欢的地方是一个医生一个助手一起帮你弄，医生主要弄你的牙齿，助手用一个吸管吸泥的唾液。我最讨厌看牙的时候嘴巴张在那里半天唾液好多。。。
梅森的牙医和我后来两次看到的牙医不一样。最后一个女的我不知道他的名字，但是那两个男的医生名字好奇怪，一个叫Dr Mashroom, 一个叫Dr Heavier, 我一听到就想笑，后来我张开嘴巴在那里被他们看牙齿的时候我又想到这件事情我又想笑，但是笑不了，嘴巴被张开了。。。
今天真的好郁闷，我找不到我们全家的护照了。。。所以就不讲了先
郁闷阿！

baby at the zoo

2008-12-19T12:29:00.000-08:00

Panda is my favorite animal at the zoo. they seem have a comfortable and happy life there. there are three panda at the zoo. mom Zhenzhen , dad Liangliang and daughter Meimei.

I am pretty loud everywhere to get people's attention, but this one is even more loud than me！！ I got scared by this loud guy.

Mom! i don't want to tough the sheep, she scares me. ( I don't know if its normal or not, I scared of lot of things, i scared of bushes, i scared of flower, i scared of giant stuffed animal... but dad got me a stuffed panda, i like it a lot)

I am trying to chasing her, but she run away. she is a pretty animal！

感恩节

2008-12-02T21:26:00.000-08:00

上个星期是感恩节，梅森放假两天又加上两天的周末所以我们过了一个小小的假期。感恩节那天我们是在一个朋友家里过的，他们家也有一个一岁多的小男孩Ｘａｎｄｅｒ和我们宝宝差不多年纪，所以两个小朋友在一起还是很好玩的。Ｘａｎｄｅｒ已经会走路，我们宝宝才刚开始试着走路，所以当Ｘａｎｄｅｒ拉着我们宝宝要给他看一个东西时宝宝摔倒了，坐在地上大哭。这个小插曲倒逗得我们大人哈哈大笑起来。那天有很多食物，他们家做了两种不同的火鸡，我喜欢Ｄｅｅｐ－ｆｒｙ的那种，感觉很Ｊｕｉｃｙ。还有好多派。我那天做了Ｓａｌａｄ和墨西哥甜点Ｆｌａｎ带过去。梅森和我说在感恩节那天他们习惯吃派的，果然，我是唯一一个带了Ｆｌａｎ过去而不是带派的。我们大概有２０个人，我们吃完就玩Ｗｉｉ游戏，后来又玩我最喜欢的Ｓｅｔｔｅｒｌｅｒｓ游戏。。。感恩节就那样过去了。第二天就是Ｂｌａｃｋｆｒｉｄａｙ，我不想美国女孩那样早上三，四点就到商店门后排队买东西，因为那时候东西最便宜，我们还是按照正常时间起床然后去逛街，到了Ｍａｌｌ，人还是很多，我只买到一件黑色的晚礼服，居然还一点都不打折。我发现和梅森逛街买不到什么东西，那天我试了好多鞋就是不买他就没有耐心了。因为我怪他没有耐心，我们第二天又去逛街，这次他很有耐心，但是我看见他抱着宝宝站在那里无聊的样子，我就不想继续看了，还是回家吧！反而是昨天梅森去上班了，我一个人推宝宝出去逛街，很过瘾！
宝宝现在越来越会走路了，他才１０个月呢。他为了要拿你手中的东西，他会大胆走过来。我最受不了宝宝乱叫或者尖叫。在商店里，他会坐在车里叫：哎－－哎－－，惹得其他人都回来看他，说你好可爱这样的话。他尖叫的时候我就不得不把他从车里抱出来，因为他太吵了，唉，这个宝宝！
我发现宝宝可以用两根手指抓一个大的东西比如说遥控器什么的，我很惊奇一个小宝宝的手指力量会这么大。还有一个好玩的事情，他已经从上星期学会拍手，但是他不是用两个手掌拍而是用一个手掌一个拳头拍。。。
最近都没有收到各位朋友的邮件呢，不知道陈怀孕怎么样我发了邮件一直没有得到回复。姚也应该给我讲讲她的宝宝，还有赵也应该来向我汇报情况巴。。。
好几次都想更新我们的搏客了，这次一下子讲了很多。

Walk Hard

2008-11-23T17:06:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone! This morning I surprised Mom and Dad by walking my first steps today without any help! I can stand without support for over one minute and I can walk between 5 to 10 small steps before I get scared and put my hands on the ground. Mom and Dad have been helping me by putting plugs in all the sockets and locks on all the cabinets so that I can't get into too much trouble. Also, Mom bought a little gate for the stairs so that I won't fall down.

Today I was being a fussy eater. I was giving Mom a hard time by crying and spitting out my food. Mom was upset and fed up with my tantrums. Dad was fixing some stuff on the house and he came over and gave me a mean look and used a harsh voice to tell me to eat up--or else! I was pretty scared of him and I stared at him for the next 10 minutes as I ate 20-30 more bites. Mom thought it was very funny, but Dad didn't laugh because he knew that I would just be naughty again. It's hard being a baby! No freedom!

I can shake my head "no" and I push things away from me when I don't like them. All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth as I only have the two bottom ones for now.

The other day, Mom and Dad went to the mall with me. Mom saw a cute stuffed animal frog in the Hallmark store. She let me hold it, and I thought it was okay. Mom wanted to buy it for me very badly, but Dad told her to wait and get it for Christmas. I wasn't too worried when Dad made her put it back, but I was surprised to see Mom was almost in tears when she put froggie back on the shelf. Maybe Mom just misses her "Rori" bear that was lost on the plane from America back to China.

Mom and Dad will try to put a video of me walking up soon.

our last week

2008-11-23T08:31:00.000-08:00

Does this look familiar to you? I made Vietnamese style "Pho" noodles yesterday. Mason said it tastes very close to what is served in a restaurant. I was happy to hear that because I've never had Pho at the restaurant. I will go try it some day.

Look at Mason, he is ready to be a serious judge!

Mommy, I really want to go outside...

Here is Jet trying to "steal" mommy's purse...

I love grapes. I am starting to be a picky eater ever since last week. I don't like my oatmeal that much. I can eat squash or carrots, but not too much. I only like my bottle and anything else that is sweet.

trip in Las Vegas

2008-11-12T11:33:00.000-08:00

Taunya is on the phone, she is holding her new baby Riyako. she is such a easy baby, she is sleeping most of the time. even she cries sometimes, she only makes very tiny voice...

This is me and Carlson, we were playing "food"game.

I Love Teddy, i was scared the first time i saw him, then i tried to like him. He is a lot of fun, i like to hang out with him.

hocky game

2008-11-05T11:45:00.000-08:00

Eat some snacks, watch the game, look how comfortable my life is, i want be the baby all the time!
Me and mommy both like the game very much. maybe someday i can be a hockey player just like daddy in the high school.

郁闷

2008-11-03T21:14:00.000-08:00

今天和梅森还有宝宝一起去拍家庭照，拍完了就可以选照片，速度是很快的。拍完后发现我自己好胖脸上两嘟肉像老太婆一样，也许我这样夸张了一点，但是本来以为我们花好多钱去专门的地方拍照片的会好看一点。。。虽然梅森不喜欢我挑剔人家因为在美国就是这样的水平了。那就入乡随俗巴。但是我要把这边照相馆拍照的不同点和大家拜一拜。这里拍照片就穿你自己的衣服，自己想化妆的话就化好装过去。然后他们就让你们摆几个他们要你摆的姿势就好了。不像中国很复杂的又要化妆又要换不同的衣服还要帮你拍好多照片让你选。这里帮我们拍了大概40几张照片吧我们选了11张画了80多美元。以后我打算自己拍，找个漂亮的地方也可以拍的好看的。问题是我现在胖了，问题是这里胖子太多没有勇气节食运动减肥呢。现在还没有决定好该怎么办。。。
越狱开始了不讲了。。。

halloween

2008-11-03T21:06:00.001-08:00

I am a red Jet for Halloween. we are going to "trick or treat".

2008-10-27T22:01:00.001-07:00

Hey Mom, I am reading my chinese book, can you leave me alone!!

I am 9 months Today, what a happy day!

无题

2008-10-22T22:17:00.000-07:00

最近总是查看我的搏客看看有没有有人在上面发表意见，总是没有。现在才发现我没有把链接发给我的朋友们，刚刚才发给各位邮件真不好意思！
不知道结婚后的你们会不会感觉生活会有什么不一样，对我来说，来这里以后每天自己带着宝宝与那时候在中国有爸妈分担一起照顾宝宝相比确是大不一样的。那时候每天还是可以睡懒觉，每天的饮食还是妈妈安排的。刚来的时候觉得很累，但是却把它当作减肥，还有就是宝宝对你越来越依赖对我倍加鼓励。宝宝越来越大越来越容易带了，虽然我每天晚上还是不能睡一个整觉，但是每天晚上8点到9点就是他的睡觉时间，他不会那么乖的去睡觉，他洗澡以后我们会给他念两本书，唱两首歌，然后就把他放在他自己的床上自己的房间。我们刚开始训练他这样睡觉的时候，他要哭半小时，现在他哭10分钟不到就睡觉了，今天他很累哭了两三分钟就睡着了。我看姚建芬肯定狠不下心，我也是这样，但是我答应梅森给他两个星期训练他睡觉，如果他失败了就让溺惯他。事实证明，这么狠心的方法居然有效的。我们中国的小孩肯定不会让他这么小就自己睡的，但是没有办法，我们只能前半夜用美国人的方式，后半夜，他哭了，我或者梅森就会把他抱到我们的床上，用我们中国的方式和我们一起睡了。
我几乎每天去超市买东西买做饭的材料。今天我才摸到买东西的窍门。以前买个青椒也要2块多（等于RMB十块多），今天让我有成就感的是买了4个青椒1块8。原来他们刚上架的蔬菜都很贵的，过两三天他们就降价了，哈哈。我今天还买了豆芽蘑菇都便宜很多，相对于中国其实也不是很便宜。我这样的“成就”一是我每天有的是时间去超市看看经验所得，二是刚买了房子，所以目标：省钱！我现在是不是成了一个典型的师奶？？！！我在中国的太太朋友们应该还不至于想我这样吧。
我们计划今年圣诞节在梅森的父母家里过，明年过年的时候回来过，更希望明年梅森会有机会回到中国去工作，到时候就能见到我在中国的朋友拉。我在这里也许是我不工作的原因朋友很少有的就是梅森的同事。
梅森老是说我啰嗦，那我就不啰嗦了，留着下次，呵呵。

pineapple pie

2008-10-19T11:03:00.000-07:00

i made this pineapple pie last night because i was trying to use the buttermilk i bought. It was my first try, so the meringue didn't come out quite right, but it was still good.

I'm 8 1/2 now

2008-10-19T10:44:00.000-07:00

This is my friend, Uncle Derek. He has thick hair just like a lion's mane which is great for grabbing onto during shoulder rides.

I fell asleep eating an apple when Dad was holding me.

I love to looking at the mirror, and I love taking pictures. HI EVERYONE!

I'm riding a horse, the first time in my life!!

last night, Jet was sitting on my lab, trying to put his fingers into my month, i felt a sharp thing in his month, then i touched it, it is his new teeth!
昨天晚上重大发现我们宝宝开始长牙了，他把我的手指放到嘴巴里面去咬，有个尖尖的东西，我一摸原来是牙齿有点长出来了！我马上把这个好消息告诉他的爸爸，他硬是要掰开他的嘴巴看，宝宝大哭，“看，爸爸总是用他的大男子主义对待我！我长牙在预料之中有什么大惊小怪的！”要知道宝宝我们等这一天等了很久了呢，看其他8个月的小朋友都已经会爬长牙了，我们宝宝只会用脚趾头爬行。

I was born in China. Look at how tiny and red I was! It was the first time I met my parents.

I like wearing clothes, so I hate taking baths. I tried to tell Mom and Dad but they couldn't understand me or maybe they could understand me, but they didn't want to listen to me.

Look at me at a half a month old. I am already big enough to look at the things around me.

Mommy's cousin is holding me. I feel uncomfortable.

This is my favorite picture. I am already getting very big, and I look sooo good.

Our family part II

2008-09-27T10:49:00.000-07:00

6月 27日, 2008---

宝宝已经5个月了，却已经显现出较之同龄人特有的成熟与稳重，他已经会坐在地上玩他的玩具，他已经开始不停的“讲话“，当然，这是在他开心的时候。我在他不饥饿的状态下喂他奶的时候，结果往往是这样：他会拼命吸几口，然后扭过头开始跟空气讲话，Wu------，dhfkfjlala，我似乎觉得宝宝能看见我们看不见的东西，他在用他的语言和他讲话，讲了一会，他又转过头来，找到了他的食物，吸两下，又转过去，这样周而复始几次，很有趣。

宝宝已经向大人一样去喜欢，do some fun stuff, 他喜欢站，虽然连爬都还不会，我和他说过好多次，你不能这样跳级，要先学会爬。他爸爸也期望他能先学会爬，每天都把他放在地上向他演示爬的技巧，但是宝宝倔强的态度一直不改。不过，自从他爸爸读了他小时候妈妈给他写的成长日记以后，知道他自己是到了8个月以后才学会爬的，现在他也没有那么强求宝宝练习爬行了。他爸爸吃了2年的奶，希望宝宝不要学他。

宝宝喜欢把什么东西都放到嘴巴里尝尝，玩具，书，毛巾等等，他在用嘴巴辨别这些东西的区别，他也很羡慕大人吃一些和他吃的不一样的东西，我吃cookies, cereal,都想尝尝，我和他说他现在还小不能吃，他就伤心的哭了，他也许还不知道大人和他的区别是有没有牙齿。好不容易我喝水，他也想要，我只好给他，他向小狗一样用他的舌头在杯子里喝水，这次他很开心，我终于给他想要得东西。又有一次他在弹他的钢琴，他又开始去吃而不是弹，在我和他说了3次，他尝了3次以后，他终于明白我说的话放弃了。

宝宝还喜欢照镜子。“爱美之心人皆有之”，这句话一点也不错，每次宝宝不开心了，我就带他去卫生间照大镜子，每次他都会大声笑，有时候还含着泪花笑。

宝宝喜欢和人交流，越多人越好，因为他总是备受关注。宝宝还喜欢出去逛，看看蓝蓝的天空，看看花花草草，看看不同的东西。有一次我和他爸爸在一个炎热的周末去看房子，太阳也很毒，我们在外面5个小时，他不吃不喝都没有哭。。。。。。

9月26日，2008
... 时间过的真快，我们家的宝宝明天就是8个月了。他现在真的是个大宝宝了，除了真人看起来比较成熟（有人认为他已经一岁了）以外，他可以抬脚爬楼梯只要我拉住他的双手。昨天中午他做了一件让我和梅森都惊奇的一件事情，梅森回来吃中饭，他一边吃一边和我讲话，宝宝坐在他脚边的地上。突然，宝宝自己扶着椅子站起来了。后来我在准备做晚饭的时候让他坐地上，他居然又一次抓着烤箱站起来了，不过他站起来以后就后悔了，因为他站起来以后发现很危险，他随时都可能倒下，他就站在那里大声哭了起来。
宝宝到现在都还没有出牙，虽然他喜欢把所有东西都放到嘴巴里（他现在比前阵子聪明一点要先看看玩一下才放嘴里），我们吃什么他都很羡慕也要吃，有时候在他的强烈要求之下我们就只能给他苹果，提子，面包什么的让他解馋，他能用牙龈咬苹果，提子葡萄连皮带籽一点都不浪费。
宝宝有这么多爱好，当然也有他害怕的地方，他现在开始开帕妈妈不在他身边，害怕爸爸把他扔到空中又惊又刺激的过山车似的感觉，但是有一件奇怪的是他居然还怕树，而且不是简单的那种害怕，要命的害怕那种。从那次以后，我只要带他出去走走都会训练他认识不同的树，他现在已经不害怕了，还喜欢摸摸，拉拉，尝尝呢。上星期我发现有一种花他看见了就叫，我让他摸摸以后就不怕了。

我和梅森经常会在宝宝这件事情上有分歧，但是现在磨合的越来越好了，我觉得婚姻就是要靠双方的努力不断改进。梅森9月2号带我出去约会了因为那天是我们的结婚一周年纪念日，我们吃饭看电影宝宝让别人照顾我们都挺开心的。

Our Family

2008-09-26T21:46:00.001-07:00

Here is our first post on our family blog. Seems like all the cool kids are doing it, so here we go.

Our Baby, Jet
He will turn eight months on the 27th of September. His favorite hobbies include climbing the stairs, standing up on his own, and army crawling around the room. Yesterday, I cam home to eat lunch during work. Jet was sitting by my feet. While I was eating and talking to Emily, I felt a little hand on my thigh. To my surprise, Jet was standing up all by himself. I was surprised, and so was he; after he realized he was standing all by himself, he burst into tears (because no one was supporting him and he was scared).

Jet also is very interested in the inside's of other peoples mouths. He often will reach his whole hand inside my month when I am talking. He thinks teeth and liquid are fun to touch so a mouth is a double whammy! Jet is envious of other people's teeth because even at eight months he doesn't have any.

Awhile ago, Jet developed an acute fear of bushes. I took Emily to the USCIS office to get her greencard paperwork squared away. As Jet and I were waiting, I took him outside to look around. While we were perusing the flora around the office, Jet gasped in terror. I looked around the bushes and saw some spiderwebs. Thinking it was the spiders he was worried about, I found some sticks to throw in the web to show him it was okay. To my surprise, he wasn't phased by the spider in the least; it was the finger-like leaves on the bush scared him.
(Note by Emily: Since Jet was so scared of that bushes, i showed him different kind of bushes while i took him for a walk. he is a lot better now, he would be interested by those bushes, touch them, pull them and even Eat them. one day i put his tiny feet on the bushes, he was so ticklish! My mom was right, she said,of course he'd be scared, he never seen this all his life. he yelled when he first time saw the flower near by our house)
