having fun

I've been pretty busy lately.

Much to Mom and Dad's chagrin, I love climbing the stairs. They worry too much, though. I'm really good at it!

Mom and I hang out a lot.

And of course we go out to eat! Here we are at Hana Sushi.

And of course Souplantation! I love buffets!

Picnic!

Mommy and Daddy took me on a picnic in the park!

I'm a big girl now, so I can face forward in the car.
I'm very excited about this.

I tried to share my macaroni and cheese, but they wouldn't share their Subway sandwiches!

Mommy shared her water, though.

My Mommy is so nice...

...I think i'll give her a kiss.

After lunch, Daddy and I played on the jungle gym.

Picnics are so much fun. I can't wait to go again!

Helping Daddy

Between me, Kimlan, and beer,
it's a wonder daddy gets anything done around the house!

great grandma's birthday

we went to l.a. to celebrate great grandma's birthday. nobody told me that i should have given her the seat. babies don't know these things!!!

i kept waving to great uncle howard's fish, but they didn't wave back.

we went to a dim sum restaurant so i got to show off my chopstick skills

it was great grandma's birthday, but great aunt lanny got me a present too! i named her baby. watch out dolly!

end of summer

I've been hanging out in the backyard a lot lately, just trying to enjoy the rest of summer before it's over. i climb in the wagon, then out, and then back in. it's fun. you should come over and do it sometime.

went to the wild animal park with parker.
i've never faced forward in the car before! it's so much more exciting.

it may be the end of summer, but this was one of the hottest days i've seen. hurry up and take this picture so i can crawl back into my stroller!

still not sure what to think of the animals... i'll just keep a safe distance

housewarming

we finally had our housewarming, even though the house is not quite finished. i helped clean up for the party.

i also helped put some plants into pots, but i couldn't resist taking the rocks back out.

one of my new favorite things to do is climb into things. this basket fits rather nicely.

the toybox was fun too. i sat in here for almost an hour.

Parker came to the housewarming, i was in a much better mood this time.

this is still my favorite doll from aunty heather

i ate this nectarine in 4 bites. i love fruit.

i got cupcakes for my late birthday party! (which was also the housewarming party)

baby's first catheter

woke up from my evening nap with a burning fever on thursday. parker came to play so i tried not to complain too much. mommy finally took my temperature on friday and it was 104 so she took me to the emergency room. they gave me some medicine and that made me happy, until everyone started to stick things in my mouth, ears and other awful places. then they needed a pee sample... and they couldn't just ask me to pee in a cup!

the lady said i had an ear infection and my throat looked bad. she gave me penicillin. mom and dad gave me a cocktail of penicillin, tylenol and motrin for a few days and almost took me back to the hospital again because my fever wouldn't go away. then i broke out in bright red hives all over so they stopped giving me drugs until i could go see my doctor Stein on monday. he says i never had an ear infection and my throat looked lovely and that the hives could be an allergic rash. he said to stop giving me medicine. i love doctor Stein. I'm fine now

grandpa's visit

after nana went home, grandpa came out to play.we took a walk at the pier. the waves were mesmerizing

i love pushing my own stroller.
now if i can only figure out how to ride it at the same time...

grandpa took us out to lunch.
this is me and daddy after a pitcher of margaritas.

i love feeding grandpa. he eats everything!

piggy back rides are the best!

we had a little sullivan gathering that week.
the Hawaii's came to see my new house, sean and brenda were there, and mike and lee came by the day before! i didn't get to meet cousin evie though. she stayed in san francisco.

july

nana went home on tuesday... i miss her so much! but grandpa is coming on saturday. i haven't seen him since i was a little girl. this is my room. still a mess, but mommy will get to it soon. the house looks like it is finally getting finished. the contractors have been working on it for over 3 months and i still haven't seen that housewarming party that was also supposed to be my birthday party that they promised.

bubbles!

saving for college, i think. all i know is that it's fun to drop these things into the gourd bank that nana got me.

having some lunch at the chicken pie shop before going to the zoo

these things were scary! i don't think i liked the zoo very much

new house

what a hectic month it has been!
so much new stuff to get into, so many new places to explore and so many new ways to get in trouble, i can't keep up. i've hardly even had time to update my blog!
nana came to visit and help us with getting situated in our new house. her main job was to keep me out of trouble while mom and dad worked on stuff around the house. nana bought me so many toys and books since she has been here. i hope she never leaves!
these cabinets are much easier to open than our old ones!
so far, this is the only room that is really clean and unpacked.
i hang out here a lot

this is my favorite part of my room. it's like having two rooms!
i furnished it myself.

i also help with the unpacking.
i need to make sure my things don't get lost!

weeks of birthdays!

it's my birthday today! i don't get a party until we move into our new house, and mom and dad feel guilty about it, but the truth is, i'll get to make my birthday last for weeks. it started out with a happy birthday song from grandpa and a pile of pancakes!

daddy left for china last week, so he missed my birthday- that means i get more birthday reparations when he comes home!

and then the mailman brought a present from cousin francis!

then auntie mae and kimlan took me to a chinese buffet for lunch.
i got to eat everything!

then i got to drive a trolley and play till i was pooped at the mall.
