Mommy continued to take me to fun and interesting places. We had a science theme this month. We saw a CSI exhibit at the California Science Center by USC. We also went to the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana where we met up with Evan and Ryan and attended the bubblefest. You heard right. It was a show about bubbles.

We capped off this month with a very social Saturday last weekend. We met up with Uncle Ken, Auntie Julie, Jayden, Uncle Andy, Auntie Healy, Uncle Martin, Auntie Melody, and Matthew for lunch at Fukada. We then headed back to Uncle Martin and Auntie Melody's place where I played with Mathew's toys all afternoon. Afterwards we went to Uncle Patrick, Auntie Susan, and Ben's place for dinner where we also hung out with Auntie Connie. There I played with Ben's toys all night. We were out for 12 straight hours. I was so pooped.

Man, I can't believe it, but I am finally caught up on this blog. The way things go, I am not sure when I can blog next. Let's hope it is soon. :-)

Catch up post # 3...

Biggest event of the month... My Birthday!!! I got cake (chocolate, of course) and a bunch of other hoopla.

Mommy and daddy thinks my terrible twos came early. My curiosity, energy, stubbornness, and mobility make for quite a lethal combination for them. You would think they are used to it by now, but no... they seemed tired all the time... hehe...

But despite all the fatigue, mommy kept coming up with cool places to take me on weekends. This month, we visited LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) and a children festival at the Grove. Fun for me. Fun and tiring for mommy and daddy.

Oh, and I had my 2 year old check up. I am 50th percentile in both height and weight. Let's hope I keep this up.

Catch up blog entry #2...

The biggest happening for us in January was Chinese New Year and Grandpa and Grandma's yearly visit from China. This year they stayed for an entire week. Daddy & mommy both took the week off and Uncle Vince came down for the weekend so we can all spend time as a family.

It was a jam packed week as we took Grandpa and Grandma all over LA: Griffith Observatory, Getty Museum, South Coast Plaza, The Citadel, 3rd Street Promenade, etc. We ate a ton too: Philippe's (best french dip), Hide (best sushi), Lawry (best prime rib), just to name a few. Totally fun. Totally tiring.

Coolest thing we did... Auntie Thao did a photo shoot at USC for us. The pictures were too good. See for yourself.

I was sad to see Grandpa and Grandma leave. The good thing was that daddy set them up with a web cam before they left. Now we can video chat with them in China over Skype. I feel so tech savy and wired.

I can't believe it has been 4 months since I last blogged. I don't know where all of our time went since Thanksgiving, but I felt like we had been living in a whirlwind. So I am now going to post a series of make up blog entries to catch up. I just hope I remember what I did 4-5 months ago... here goes...

December is obviously all about Christmas and holiday, and Daddy took time off between Christmas and New Year this year to hang out, which was nice. Now that I am close to 2 years old, I appreciated the festivities and decorations a lot more. I opened presents on my own, and I even got to stay up to watch the ball dropped on New Year's Eve. I feel so grown up.
