We went to Ryan 1st birthday party at Uncle Mike and Auntie Hilda's this weekend, and Ryan, Evan, Natalie, Amanda, and I were together once again. Adding Sera, Mae, Claira, and Joseph to the mix, our kids army almost out numbered adults. The result was chaotic fun. Mommy and daddy, it will be my birthday next, so throw me a good party too, okay?

Week 41 (11/19/07 - 11/25/07) - Happy Turkey Day
This was my first Thanksgiving. Mommy cooked up a storm and prepared a feast for us, grandpa, grandma, and Uncles Warren and Sonny. Stuffing, mashed potato, vegetables, yams, apple pie, and a turkey as big as me. Everyone stuffed their face while I watched. Wait! What about me?
I learned to pull myself up to stand this week. I am one baby step closer to outrunning mommy and daddy.
Uncle Andy and Auntie Tina came over to visit with their baby, Nicole. Nicole was sleeping most of the time she was here. Can't wait for her to get bigger so that we can play together.
I have some cool action videos this week. See my pictures and videos from Week 41. My pictures are also available on Shutterfly.

Week 40 (11/12/07 - 11/18/07) - Am I a joker or what?
Let the great chase begins. Now that I have mastered crawling on my hands and kneels, I can move faster than Mommy and Daddy can pay attention. I have also learned to stand on my own as long as there is something for me to hold onto. Life will never be the same for them again. So sad. :-) But yah me!
Mommy and daddy took me to The Grove Sunday afternoon to check out the Christmas decorations. There was a huge Christmas tree with some gigantic ornaments. Awesome! Too bad we didn't stay for the tree lighting ceremony to see all the performances and fireworks. Oh well, maybe next year.

Week 39 (11/5/07 - 11/11/07) - Slow week
This week has been slow , which is fine with me. After weeks of excitement, I could use a break. The only noteworthy news is that four of my upper teeth are about to break through at the same time. Yikes!
I only have a few pictures from Week 39. They can also be found on Shutterfly.

Week 38 (10/29/07 - 11/04/07) - 1st Holloween
Hiya. Wednesday was my first Halloween. Mommy dressed me up as a little piggy and took me to the mall to trick-or-treat. We got a bunch of candy that I can't eat. Sweet.
I was going to lose daddy to the Bay Area again this weekend, but he had a change of heart last minute and stayed home to get some much needed rest. It turned out to be a fun weekend for me, but he was bummed that he had to miss Uncle Peter and Auntie Carol's wedding plus Audrey Horn's three month old party. His loss, my gain. :-)
Even though I had just figured out how to worm crawl forward last Sunday night, I have already mastered it by mid-week. It won't be long before I learn to crawl on my hands and knees instead of on my stomach.
I have also learned to pull myself up into a upright kneeling position. Daddy, you had better lower my crib before I climb out on my own... by accident! (To which daddy responds, "What is the point? It is not like you sleep in your crib anyways.")
Lastly, I learned to hold on to more than one item at a time. Until this week, I had to drop whatever I was holding before I can pick up the next item. Not anymore. I can now hold two items at a time, one in each hand. Mommy, daddy, I am ready for my drum set now.
You can see pictures and videos of me playing the air drum in this week's archive. In fact, I have tons of funny pictures and videos from Week 38 to share with you all. My pictures are also available on Shutterfly. Check them out!

Week 37 (10/22/07 - 10/28/07) - Royalty
At the last minute, we met up with Uncle Mike, Auntie Hilda, Ryan, Uncle Dan, Auntie Cora, and Evan for lunch at Huntington Beach's Pasta Pomodoro on Sunday. For dessert, some of us got Pink Berry, which apparently is not true yogurt. Don't think I care.
After lunch, Uncle Dan, Auntie Cora, Evan, mommy, daddy, and I all went to Downtown Disney in hopes of seeing some Holloween decorations. What a jip?! We saw squat! Disneyland may be the happiest place on earth, but Downtown Disney is just lame.
BTW, I finally figured out how to worm crawl forward Sunday night. I guess watching Ryan and Evan walked around all afternoon was the motivation that I needed to get my butt off the ground... literally.

Week 36 (10/5/07 - 10/21/07) - Can I have one too?
I am sharing the spotlight this week. My friend Natalie turned one, and we went to her birthday party Sunday. It was kids heaven. Ryan, Sera, and Mae were all there along with a bunch of Natalie's cousins. Many kids = mayhem = fun.
Natalie, Ryan, and I all, by chance, have the same Chicco toy car seen here. This toy car is apparently the Honda Accord for babies. Who knew?

Week 35 (10/8/07 - 10/14/07) - Where is daddy?
Daddy, on Monday, I greeted you with a big old smile the minute you walked through the door and made you feel all warm and fuzzy. How did you repay me? By disappearing to NYC for the next 3 days and partying all Saturday night at a bachelor party? Not cool, daddy. Not cool.

Week 34 (10/1/07 - 10/7/07) - Busy weekend
More da-da-da with some da-da-dy thrown in. Daddy is on cloud nine and Mommy is jealous.
As usual, we had a busy weekend. We doubled up on BBQs on Saturday. First, we went to Auntie Josephine and Uncle Ryan's baby shower BBQ where I played with Clara (aka mini-Ken). She is three months old now and is much bigger than when I last saw her. Then we went to Auntie Annie for the end-of-summer BBQ. Good times.
On Sunday, we went to lunch and dessert with Uncle Andy and Auntie Healy. Ramen, shaved ice, boba... we are sooo Asian.

Week 33 (9/24/07 - 9/30/07) - Da-da?
My first word was DA-DA. Well... actually it was more like da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da... but whatever daddy, you think whatever you want.
I will have a few new playmates soon. Auntie Julie and Uncle Keno just had a baby boy on Tuesday, Jayden Edison Tang. Edison was going to my little bro's middle name. Darn it. Meanwhile, Auntie Tina and Uncle Andrew (collectively known as tinandrew) are expecting a little girl, Nicole Tran, at the end of October. I can't wait to play with my new victims.. ahem, I mean.. playmates.
On Saturday, we went to tinandrew's baby shower and watched the Cal and USC football teams narrowly beat their opponents. Go Bears! Go Trojans! Go Bears!

Week 32 (9/17/07 - 9/23/07) - The Three Amigos
We finally got back home on Monday after another 6 hours drive. Mommy and daddy were looking forward to an uneventful week in LA. Boring!!! It was not until Sunday that we did something of note.
We met up with Uncle Dan, Auntie Cora, Evan, Uncle Mike, Auntie Hilda, and Ryan at Manhattan Beach to have lunch and hang out for the afternoon. I haven't see Evan and Ryan for a couple of months. Evan has been walking for a while and Ryan is crawling like a champ and close to being able to stand up on his own. I, of course, can't do anything of those things. Instead, I sat, watched, and sucked my toes. Mmm.. yummy. It was a fun afternoon though. We saw the beach, and ocean, and an aquarium.
Bad habits update: As a result of sleeping with mommy and daddy in one bed during our Bay Area trips, I no longer want to sleep by myself in my crib. The list now reads:
1) No bottles
2) No falling asleep unless someone carries me
3) No sleeping until midnight or 1am
4) No sleeping in my own crib
What behavior modification?

Week 31 (9/10/07 - 9/16/07) - SF Roadtrip Part Deux
Perhaps this post should be titled as "100 Snoopys". Anyways...
9/14 Fri - Four days after we drove home, we hit the road again to boomerang back to the Bay Area. I listened to CNBC on XM radio for most of the way up. I totally agree that Ben Bernanke and the Fed should cut the Fed Fund Rate 25 - 50 basis point in order to alleviate the current credit crunch set off by the sub-prime lending crisis. What mommy? You look confused.
9/15 Sat - Uncle Vince, daddy, mommy, and I went to Auntie Martha and Uncle Billy's wedding in Napa. The wedding was beautiful, simple, elegant, relaxed, fun, and intimate. The scenery and the weather were also perfect. It was just a great ceremony.
9/16 Sun - Snoopy, snoopy, and more snoopys. We drove back to Santa Rosa with Uncle Keno and Auntie Julie to check out the Snoopy exhibit. There were close to 100 Snoopy statues on display. I am officially snooped out. Check out the tons of Snoopy pictures.

Week 30 (9/3/07 - 9/9/07) - SF Roadtrip Part 1.2
My 10-day SF roadtrip continued...
9/3 Mon (Labor Day) - Met Uncle Dave, Auntie Ying, and Audrey for the first time. Uncle Dave is kinda goofy. Audrey, 6 weeks old, is so adorable and tiny. I can't wait to play with her the next time. We ate dinner with Auntie Sandin and Uncle Rex. Auntie Sandin thinks daddy will be a push-over dad. Hehe.
9/6 Thurs - Had lunch with Auntie Linh at Zachary's Pizza. Deep dish pizza... if only I can eat solid food, I would probably say YUMMO!!! Visited Auntie Linh's work, CPS (College Preparatory School). So nice. $26k/yr can sure get you a good education. Scholarship and early admission please. Had dinner with Uncle Vince, Grand Uncle Wilfred, Grand Auntie Teresa, Uncle Eirc, and Auntie Michelle. Wilfred and Teresa weren't so keen on me calling them grand anything. Eric and Michelle are now my Facebook friends. :-)
9/7 Fri - Hung out with Uncle Willy and Auntie Karen all day, and then went to Uncle Eddy's birthday dinner. I sat on my first high chair at lunch. Aren't you proud of me?
9/8 Sat - Tried to go to the Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival with Uncle Keno and Auntie Julie, but a longer than expected lunch derailed our plans. Instead, mommy and Auntie Julie did some quick grocery shopping at Chinatown. Daddy hates driving in Chinatown and he let us know over and over again.
9/9 Sun - Going home, finally. This time the ride only took us 6 hours, and I was asleep for most of it.
All in all, it was a great first trip. I behaved better than mommy and daddy thought I would. I totally think they should reward me for it. I also got to sleep between mommy and daddy in their big bed all week. I LIKE IT!

Week 29 (8/27/07 - 9/2/07) - SF Roadtrip Part 1.1
Roadtrip!!! Mommy and daddy took me on my first road trip to the Bay Area. So much happened that I will change format for this and the next two weeks:
8/31 Fri - Trapped in a car seat for the 8-hour drive to SF. Slept for about 5, awake for 1.5, and cried the rest.
9/1 Sat - Auntie Sabrina and Uncle Ryan's wedding. Met daddy's Bay Area friends for the first time. There were too many to name here. It was as if daddy had a second life outside of LA. Who knew? Anyways, the wedding was fun. I boogied to the tune of Bizarre Love Triangle. See some pictures from the wedding here.
9/2 Sun - Watching daddy play volleyball with his buddies was a bit painful. He sucked. Hung out with Auntie Vicky at night. BTW, Slingbox and the Slingplayer Mobile rocks!!

Week 28 (8/20/07 - 8/26/07) - Toga party?
I had my six month check up this Monday. I am now 26 inches long and weigh 17 lbs 6 oz. The fact that I have almost tripled my birth rate got mommy all teary eyed. Anyways, I have now grown to 50th percentile in height, up from 25th percentile during my last checkup. Yay! I am still 75th percentile in weight which means I am still cute and chubby and I can beat up other babies.
My whole family went to the Taste of Lexus event in Arcadia on Saturday. I got to see all these cool shiny new Lexus cars and then we drove home in our 1994 Honda Accord. Fantastic!!!
I went to Auntie Annie's birthday dinner Saturday night. It was fun and I got to stay out late. Too bad I couldn't stay to play poker. I could use some new baby shoes.
