For having such a busy week, I don't have too many pictures to post ... but part of that is because of who came to see me. Mommy's family came to visit last week (Gong-Gong, Po-Po, Da-Jiu Zong, Auntie Melissa, Xiao-Jiu Dwo, Auntie Crystal, and Kirby)! With Xiao-Jiu Dwo and Gong-Gong there, they probably took enough pictures to last all of 2009! :D
Since both Daddy and Mommy had to work that week, the village stayed at home and watched me during the day -- Po-Po even watched me at night, too, so that Mommy could turn off the baby monitor! Besides playing with me, they took turns giving me my breathing treatments (I got sick again) and keeping me company when I was bored sitting at the dinner table after I was done eating.
Mommy's family is so much fun; they're quite ... rambunctious. We stay up really late, chase each other around (well, Kirby and I did after we decided that we were okay with one another), walk up and down the stairs together, and eat lots of food. This year, each couple also showed off their skills by taking turns hosting cooking extravaganzas each night!
On New Years Day, we celebrated our belated family Christmas (thank you all for everything! I love my gifts!).
The day after New Years is another important day: Gong-Gong's birthday! After that celebration, everyone had to go home. :( But I hope to see them all again in a month for my birthday!
After everyone left, Mommy and I took advantage of the record-setting warm weather -- 80+ degrees in January?! -- by having lunch with Ms. Corrie and going to the lake in our neighborhood. After that, it was back to real life again. It was a little hard adjusting back, but then I remembered how much fun it was playing with everyone, and I'm back to usual.
Another baby a couple of weeks younger than me in school is moving up to the next class now because she's eating lots of big people food and walking all over the place. Mommy says she's okay with me not moving up anytime soon and is quite happy where I am. I have taken my first couple of steps now at home. I'll go between people a few times before I get bored, but I'm still not terribly interested in this whole walking thing. Why bother when I can crawl so fast or just hold up my arms until someone comes by with their fingers for me to hold onto? Food-wise, I definitely know what I like ... and what I don't like ... so adjusting to school foods has been a little interesting for both us and them.
These are what they use at school, so I need to practice.
My newest tricks include "look up!", "put your head down", and Mommy's pretty sure I located the number 1 (or at least looked and gestured in the general direction of where I knew my #1 card to be).
I'm having all the "typical" signs of teething right now: drooling something awful (it literally drips off my chin if you don't catch it), some loose diaper, scratchy ears, and general fussiness. Since I have all 8 front teeth, Mommy is guessing that my molars are coming in. Whatever it is, blech!
In Pee news, I have a cousin! Woo-hoo! James De-Ji Pee was born to George Shu-Shu and Auntie Christina on Tuesday, January 6th around 10pm-ish. We're 11 months apart which means that we'll hopefully be playmates when he's bigger. He was 9 pounds, 22 inches, and has red hair! Nai-Nai and Gong-Gong are headed up to see him and will stay up there during the weekdays and come home for the weekends. I can't wait to meet him!
My January album has been created to start capturing moments throughout the month, and I'll keep adding to it to show you my many adventures! Hopefully I'll have links to Gong-Gong and Xiao-Jiu Dwo's albums to share soon as well. Happy 2009!
