Cliff & Peiya: May 2012

5M- In love with Sophie

it's 5/18, I turn 5 months old today! Chewing has become a favorite hobby lately.

Other than chewing on towels & fingers, I've got a new toy!

I hold her tight

I aim right at her mouth

& I start chomping away

The dogs get excited whenever Sophie squeaks....

4M3W@ Aranzi Cafe

Mama made plans with the girls to head out for tea in the afternoon.

Uncle Tesan stopped by around noon for a visit & mama heard me laugh out loud for the 1st time. I wonder when I will see him again, since he made me laugh non-stop!

Hear me out live on video!

After a short nap on the bus, we arrived and the cafe was packed even on a friday! We had tea & gelato

at Micasa, the cafe next door while we waited....

I couldn't stop but stare at Sunny even though it's not my 1st time hanging out.

This is how I will look like when my hair grows long!

Finally, it was worth the wait. Even the ceiling was filled with all the Aranzi characters.

Finally sat down & waited for our order

A bunny cake

& panda Coffee
Who says mama can't have coffee while breastfeeding?!

It's about time we head home & wait for papa to get off work so that I can tell him all about my day!

Photo shoot + pre Mother's Day

Oh I totally forgot to mention about our photo shoot at JCP~ 4/28.

That photo shoot day just wasn't my best day....

But it inspired mama to take more pictures of me while we stayed home... mama must have been bored.. It'll take us 2 months before we get the professional photos..

Finally asleep~~~Took mama lots of time to nurse... cuddle....

On Pre-mother's day weekend, mama & papa went to the floral market without me! Well...mama did some floral arrangement as mother's day gifts to both grandmas

We took grandpa & grandma out to celebrate

& all I cared about was chewing my fist

Oh yes, Miya @ Macaroni & Grill for another mother's day celebration

It's Mama, grandma & pa's favorite when they lived in LA, ahh it just brings back so much memories

Mama doesn't think mother's day is such a big deal until she became one. Well, it's still not a huge celebration but it means something more when friends, family & even the sales lady from a clothing boutique mama frequents called & wished mama her 1st happy mother's day.

Labor day on the house

One day of holiday means a lot to papa! We are off to the suburbs, well, let's call it the W-eekend house.

It's a day we get to relax, hang around, get out there for some thai!

Stopped by one of the exhibits on traditional taiwanese toys

@ 4M 11D, looking at mama sure entertains me well enough!

Sea-sighting

Boy, it was so windy, we nearly got blown away!

Grandma and grandpa drove over to Hsinchu again for a visit @ the "W house"

We took them around the daily trail around the community where mama takes me out for daily walks.

It's time to celebrate!

Customized cookies arrived just in time for Miya's 4 mth bye bye drooling celebration. It is tradition to hang cookies around the baby's neck at 4 months old, to reduce saliva. Is that true?! Oh well! it's just fun!
