Happy Halloween!

                                     

Ahh the fall weather is here.  Mommy and Daddy took me to Lemos Pumpkin Farm in Half Moon Bay.  We went on a haunted train ride and took lots of pictures around pumpkins.  Halloween is mommy's favorite time of the year and I have a feeling it'll be mine too! Oh yeah and since the last time I wrote I learned how to crawl (8 months) and stand up.  Watch as I dominate this pumpkin with my two hands.  I command you to let me use you as a stand.

Mom must think I'm a genius

I'm still trying to master these things called fingers.  Picking up little things like Cheerios are a real challenge.   Although I may not be gifted in my motor skills yet, you will see that I am gifted in my communications skills.  See me respond to my mom.. is it a fluke?  I'm only 7 months here.  Who knows.. I always keep them guessing.

First Encounter with a Fan

Here is my first encounter with a fan.  If I am going to be a super model one day I got to get use to this type of thing.  I love the feel of the wind blowing my Saw Gee Mo.  Grandma wants to cut my side burns but seeing how she trims the dogs hair (Lucas and Henry) I've got to say no thank you to that.

Do I see a pattern?

I Will Take You Out!

I had another play date with mommy's new friend's daughter, Madeline. She is really cool and I got to test out a lot of new toys.
I know I'm small and still learning to sit up, but do I look like a push over? Literally?

My first play date

Mommy and Daddy had a wedding to go to in Maryland so we stopped by Auntie Yvette's house to meet my new friend Isabella.  She's 2 months older than me.  She was so excited to see me she gave me a big bear hug.

A typical day in Cleveland

A typical day looks something like this.  I wake mommy and daddy up around 7am.  Then mommy brings me downstairs while she fixes breakfast.  Sometimes I'll hang out in the kitchen and watch her other times I like to catch up on the news in my bumbo chair.  (I can't believe the news about Michael Jackson.  From what mommy and daddy say he's the greatest entertainer of all times. )  After that we go for a walk and then I come home for a nap.  

I'm also trying solid food.  I can't quite control the tongue thing.. or what they call swallowing.  Rice cereal is pretty bland.  I personally think it looks better on my face then in my tummy don't you?

Living in Cleveland

  

It's been a long time since I last posted something.  I moved back to Cleveland in April.  The weather is really nice now with the trees and flowers in full bloom.  Here's a quick recap of my time here.  This is the back of our house.  My room is on the second floor with the little red door.   Daddy got a tank of a car because he thought it would be safer for me to ride in.  

Bath time is my favorite time of the day.  Here I am sporting a mohawk.  My hair is slowly growing, but my nickname still remains " Sa Gee Mo" (three strands of hair in Taiwanese).

 I call this one my love-hate relationship with my Rainforest Jumperoo.  Sometimes I love it and other times it really frustrates me like in this pictures.  I am all about multi-tasking but this can be a bit much.. I have to pay attention to the bright lights, then there's lizard in a clear wheel I have to turn every so often.  Of course there's the dangling parrot and lizard over my head I must engage with... and don't get me started on the lion that roars every time I move my feet.

Here I am on a walk with mommy.  The people in Shaker Heights are really serious about maintaining their yard.  Everyone was out that day working on their lawn.

This is what happens when mommy gets too close to me.  I'm starting to find I have a lot of power with these little things called fingers.  They are kung fu grip strong.

We took a trip to Philly and Lancaster Pennsylvania to revisit some of mom's friends at her old work.  

Mom likes to call me Ethel when I wake up in the morning and talk like this.  I can't help it if I get a double chin when I get started.  Here I am getting ready to express my daily observations.. usually it's about our neighbors or the squirrels in the backyard.  Here I was mentioning how unusually friendly it our neighbors are.  They brought us banana bread to welcome us.   Even a nice old lady with the Shaker Heights welcome committee came over to give us coupons and community organization information.
