County Fair, y'all

Visited the LA County Fair this weekend with mom and dad. While I enjoyed the animals, giant produce and fried things on sticks, I especially enjoyed the bales of hay in the barns. Here I am communing with a piece off of one, with dad's help.

At the park

Went to the park this weekend. Tried my hand at the swings - I really don't see what the big deal is, all that "whee" and "higher, higher" stuff...maybe I need to mature into it. Mom and dad say we will try it again next month. We ended up sitting on a blanket and playing with some toys. I really enjoy these stacking plastic cups. I'm trying to convince my dad of their merits - not sure he's buying it.

Dim Sum

We went out for a little lunch today, since it's mom and dad's anniversary. Two words - Dim Sum. Can't beat the San Gabriel Valley for the good stuff. Since my Cantonese is a little rusty and my motor skills aren't quite good enough to point with any real accuracy, I had to use the menu. Shrimp shu mai and fried dumplings! BBQ pork buns! Egg custard tarts and mango pudding! Hooray!

Fruit Face

So I've been eating for a little over a month now, and I'm into it. I like broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, butternut squash, spinach, corn, carrots, yams - just about everything. But I'm having a hard time with fruit. I dunno, it's a little...sweet. I had the same reaction to pears, peaches and prunes. Mom and dad think it's kinda "cute" and "funny," so they filmed me eating pears. For your viewing pleasure...

On the move

I'm starting to figure out this crawling thing - this weekend, I developed my upper body strength perfecting the army crawl. I'm thinking next week or so I'll be zipping around like a bandit. I'm a little whiney in this clip, but you would be too if you were only using your arms to drag your whole body weight across a living room floor. Take a look see...

Chompers

I officially have two teeth - well, about 1/3 of two teeth, anyway. Mom seems nervous about this development for some reason, but I'm quite pleased with myself.

Mmmm...

So I've been eating for a few weeks now - I like cauliflower, green beans, broccoli, sweet potatoes and of course cereal. The jury's still out on avocado. Anyway, I had this for dinner last night, and the colors were just too good not to document. Purple Japanese sweet potato and carrots - delicious, in addition to being visually stimulating!
