Fun at KB toy store

I had lots of fun at KB Toy store in the Woodfield Mall. There were three toys I enjoyed most.
This is one. Ha, yes, I have a better one at home.

This is another one. This looks like that it will require a more advanced fishing skill than the one at home.

Here is the other one. I played this at the same store several weeks ago, and I still love it! Will it be my two years birthday gift? Let's see :)

Enjoy a nice VCD

I am one and a half years old!

Due to unstable weather condition recently, I am suffering minor fever after a week long of coughing. We all hope that this big celebration will bring my health back soon!

Story time in Evanston public library

After a long wait, I finally got in to the story time series held in Evanston Public Library. Today was my first day. I was very excited along with lots of new friends, their parents and a nice teacher. I had a great time and can't wait to go again next week.

Chinatown then Lincoln Park Zoo

Weather jumps into 60s in these two days. Even I had some coughing, I can't wait to enjoy nice sunny days with them.

What a wonderful day!!!

After the nice dress up, we went to have lunch at Cheesecake factory at the Old Orchid Mall and had shopping for a little bit there. In the afternoon, we went to the Chicago Botanic Garden and met Pica. The orchid exhibition was very impressive. In the evening, we had dinner at Pica's home.

Screaming

Exercise with nanny

A great helper

While Nanny and Mom are away, I can do housework.

On the escalator

I got used to the inertia quickly and played several times later on with Mom :)

Playing with Dad in the family room

It was supposed to be our family room, but they put the bed here to accommodate nanny and other visitors. Now, I take the afternoon nap on this bed, too.

I am back!!!

Sorry for this late updates as I had received some complains from loyal viewers :) Just share a good news with you: I brought a warmer weather to Chicago from Taiwan. It has been a long winter here, I know. Hopefully, we will be able to go out and enjoy nice sunny days soon!

 

A warm home-coming with nanny! She said that I am taller than I was 1 month ago, YA!

In Taiwan

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

I will fly back Taiwan with Mom tomorrow and stay in Taiwan for a month. Therefore, you may not see my updates for a while. It has been pretty cold here and hopefully I will be able to enjoy some outdoors in Taiwan under warmer condition. Recently, I have learned lots of new skills, so impressive! Of course, I will give you more surprise when you will see me here a month after. Hopefully, the weather will be warmer here so I can stretch my hands and legs more frequently :)

 

During a month's absence, Dad will miss me very much...

Carrying my shopping bag

It is too cold to be outside.

Help clean up the kitchen

 

Single leg standing

 

In that posture, my right leg could raise above my shoulder :)

My ear rings

How creative I am! They do not wear ear rings. Whom have I learned?

 

Adorable, or not?

I am very expressive now. Even though I can't speak much, I have known lots of things, such as watch, pea, sun, star, fish, clock, lamp, duck from this kid's dictionary.

 

Learn to drive safely

My thousand smiles

 

Like mom like me
