A visitor, new ways to play, and Piggy Day at class!

Ever have those bad hair days? This is what mine looks like when I have one.

Lately my hair hasn't been sticking up quite as much because it's been growing longer. Mommy wants to give me a haircut but Daddy says to wait a little longer. Either way, pretty soon I'll be getting my first haircut. Yet another big milestone!

This week, Auntie Sarita was in town so we went to go visit her. I was a little shy at first but then remembered that we've met before and warmed up quickly.

I'm pointing at the chandelier in this picture because I wanted to touch it.

I'm standing up on my own more and more lately. At first glance, this picture might look like some of my other standing up pictures but I'm actually not leaning on the toy in this one.


I've started letting going so I can use both hands to play and balancing on two legs all on my own.

I'm still very wobbly, but I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Here I am playing ball with Daddy. I'm starting to get the idea of rolling it back to him so we can keep playing. I'm not accurate yet but I have alot of fun doing it.

Wanna cruise around with me?

Mommy put me in a box and had Daddy pull me around the house.  Lots of fun for me.

 It was Piggy Day at class this week!

It's a day where the teachers prepare all sorts of tastes and textures for me to try and I get to get as messy as I want. (and the best part is Mommy and Daddy don't have to clean up afterwards!)


Everyone gets their own tin. I got some pasta, jello, cheerios, red-colored rice, pudding, blue-colored rice cereal, and spaghetti in mine.

I went after the blue-colored rice cereal right away as you can in this picture, it's mostly out of the tin and on my legs/floor already.

Here I am trying to share some spaghetti.

And here I'm getting nice and messy!

I got a bath right after this because I was so sticky!

Lastly take a look at my teeth coming in. Those front ones are big aren't they? This was the clearest picture Mommy could get of me because I move around so much and I don't like anyone poking around my mouth. My two bottom ones are coming in too!

Thanks for coming by, see you again soon!

9 months and 3 weeks

This week I finally got around to getting my 9 month checkup. I am now in the 12th percentile for length, 40th percentile for weight, and 70th percentile for head circumference. I'm sticking my tongue out at my length percentile... I'm planning on doing all my growing later!
 

  This week, Grandma Kan is out of town so Grandpa Kan took care of me all by himself.


As you can see I think he's doing a great job. I got to ride in up front in his car

............... while it wasn't moving of course.

I also got to go here with  Grandpa. Can you guess where I am?

The background is a little blurry so it might be hard.

Does this picture help? I hope so! Yes, we went to Disneyland!


Here I am with Grandpa out in front of the castle. It was very very crowded at the park because of the long weekend.

Here I am about to go on my favorite ride at Disneyland.

I was too busy looking around at everything and this was the only picture where I am sort of looking at the camera...

 

Later on, Great Granduncle CK and Great Grandauntie Kay invited us out for dinner. I was smiling the entire night because I was having such a good time with them. Thank you for inviting us to dinner, it was delicious!

Mommy and Daddy also took me to Tanaka Farms to pick out my very first pumpkin!

Just like Disneyland there was so much to do and see there.

I'm not even paying attention to Daddy in this picture because I saw something I wanted to touch.

Why did Mommy put me on top of this pumpkin? Did she want me to fall off or something?

Don't worry, I didn't. I'm very good at balancing myself now.

And here's one more picture of me and Mommy sitting on a big pile of pumpkins.


It was a very fun day!

As for the rest of the week, it was pretty mellow as usual.


Daddy put me in my swing one last time before he put it away. I'm waay too big for it now as it will barely move when Daddy turns it on.

The mobile stuffed animals are easier for me to grab now though!

And last, here I am being silly. I always steal Daddy's glasses. I seem to be learning that I can wear them as well. But I keep trying to put them on like a hat and this is what happens.

I'll get the hang of it someday!

Thanks for stopping by!

 

9 months 1 week

Sorry for the late post everyone!

Don't worry you're not seeing double. I'm just high-fiving myself in the mirror at Grandpa and Grandma Kan's house. They're setting up a room just for little ol' me!

Now that I'm a little bigger Grandpa and Grandma Kan took me out to the park. See the big ship behind me?

I can't wait until I'm big enough to run around and play on that!

I got to try out my first swing. See my smiles from experiencing something new?

Don't worry, Grandpa and Grandma made sure I didn't swing too high.

On the weekend, Mommy and Daddy took me to my Music and Motion class again.

Here I am on a saucer. Daddy was moving and spinning it around so my core muscles become more developed.

Afterwards, I got to do some shopping. Daddy found this car and put me in it and took me for ride around the store.

I loved checking out the store this way!

Mommy likes to call this picture "King of the Diapers".

I was smiling at everyone that came by while I was sitting on my throne.

Like my hair? Daddy thought it might make a good Halloween costume. Mommy was hoping for something much cuter so Daddy got overruled.

One bottom tooth and one top tooth is finally growing in! So my parents are starting to brush my teeth. I absolutely loved feeling the bristles on my teeth and gums. I think I just like the sound it makes.

Right now, I think it's my most favorite part of getting ready for bed!

That's all we have for this week. I look forward to you visiting me again next week! Thank you for stopping by!
