Happy birthday to me! :-) After Evan, Natalie, Ryan, and Amanda, it was finally my turn. I am now officially not a baby anymore, but a toddler.
Grandpa and grandma came all the way from China to help me celebrate. I hung out with them all week long. It was like having playmates 24/7. There was always someone to pay attention to me. We went shopping. We ate out. Now that I am one year old, I even got to taste their food. Yummy. It was a fun week.
I had my one year checkup Wednesday. I now weight 19 lbs (15 percentile) and am now 29 ins tall (50 percentile). I also had blood drawn and four shots during the doctor appointment. Ouch.
Now that we have passed the one year milestone, I think I am going to change the frequency of my blog updates. I will probably start giving monthly instead of weekly updates. In addition, I will post new entries as interesting things happen. Let's see how it goes.

BONUS: Mommy and daddy also made a great Photobook of my first year on Shutterfly. Check it out.

Week 52 (2/4/08 - 2/10/08) - Moon over my hammy
Kung Hei Fat Choi ! Happy rat year to everyone.
We spent most of this week preparing for Chinese New Year and next week (my birthday and grandpa & grandma's visit). In keeping with traditional CNY ritual, mommy tried to cleaned every nook and cranny of our place, but this year she did it with my "help". Every time she put things away or organized a cabinet, I tried my best to clear out the content and drop them to the floor afterwards. You are welcome, mommy.
On Sunday, grandpa and grandma (daddy's parents) finally arrived for their week long visit. I haven't seen them since my first week. Next week is going to be very interesting.
I am beginning to learn to stand on my own without having to hang on to something. I did it for a split second for the first time this week. One more baby step to freedom...

Week 50 & 51 (1/21/08 - 2/3/08) - Hey, 18-1.
Tuesday was daddy's birthday, but we didn't do much since great-grandma passed away the day before. Mommy did bake daddy a chocolate cake and we sang happy birthday.
Great-grandma's funeral ceremony was Friday night and Saturday. Everyone was teary and sad. We miss her very much.
To end the week on a positive note. We went to Amanda's first birthday party on Sunday. The trio of Ryan, Amanda, and I were together once more. Amanda is only two weeks older than me, but she can walk already. I have some catching up to do.
After Amanda's party, we drove to Auntie Tina and Uncle Andy's place for their annual Superbowl party. We won the pool on the Giant's last touchdown. NE Patriots: 18-1. NY Giants: Superbowl Champion. Go Giants!

Goodbye Great-grandma! We will miss you.
This picture was taken last year when my great-grandma came to see me for the first time. On January 28th, my great-grandmother passed away. Mommy was really sad. I tried my best to cheer up mommy with my mischievous self.
My great-grandmother was a really remarkable woman. Every time she saw me she had a great big smile. Come to think of it, she mostly smiled at everyone. I wished that I could have gotten to know her a little more. We will miss her very much.
