Enjoy the DVD

Still waiting for my first step...

I am watching my favorite DVD "baby newton - All About Shapes".

Halloween costume - a woodman

It's windy outside

Just want to tell you that it was pretty windy when I rode my car outside.

In the botanic garden

My lunch box (including: formula milk, water, Gerber 3rd foods, finger foods, and an apple)


Nice to be outdoor.


I am having great time in the botanic garden with grandpa.

Learning to walk

Quick crawling across mom

My dear neighbors

I am riding my Bu-Bu car in our courtyard.

Crystal Lake

Walking in the Chain O'Lake State Park

I am tired of staying in the stroller while in the park. On the other hand, walking on the trail is lots of fun!

Preparing for the Zurich trip

Is that warm enough?

Happy 1st Birthday!

Dear Jolene:

We still remember the very first day we met you. We did not know what to expect, but you just made everyday count. We are so happy to have you in our life. We wish you happy and healthy forever!

Love you soooooooooooooo much,
Mom & Dad

Birthday party

Can't believe that I am turning 1 tomorrow! I feel it's like yesterday that I came to this world. Mom and Dad invited their friends over to celebrate my very first birthday!



There is a Chinese tradition for the 1st birthday ceremony. They call it "First-Year Draw". It's like future career prediction based on what the birthday baby draws/picks. My mom was not fully prepared, for example, there is no stethoscope for me to pick. But who cares? It's just for fun. Here I come!

1st pick

2nd pick

3rd pick

My first pick was the calculator (SUPER Business woman), the second pick was the crayons (GREAT Artist), and the third pick was the hand cream (BEST Housewive?!).

Greeting and have fun
