New Family Update - 2/12/09
Wow! We are just about mid-way through FEB09, can you believe it? Anyways…here are some recent pics of the kids.
On a recent trip to the park, we were surprised to find a TON of snow! Not that it snowed in LA…but someone must have driven up to the mountains, trucked down, and dumped all this snow for people to play with! Here is Kay and Bekah, pleasantly surprised by this brief winter wonderland.
Happy Chinese New Year! Being Chinese in LA, it’s always ‘kind of’ a big deal…but for some reason, Kay’s LAUSD school really went all out to celebrate!? They had a WEEK long celebration, culminating in a Dragon Parade around the school. Emily and I decided to check out the parade and wow!…sounded pretty authentic. They had all 5 kindergarten classes just march up and down, room to room, pounding away at whatever instruments that had. Here is Kay, part of the actual Dragon. She drew the “number 1″ slot, so actually could have been the head, but decided that looked too silly and opted for just being a part of the tail.
While Kay is off busy at school…Bekah and Noah get a lot of time together. Here they are snacking on some apples. Noah’s grown a lot…but his cheeks really aren’t THIS huge, he just has his mouth stuffed with apples. You might be thinking, “wow!…noah can eat apples?” No, he can’t. He just stuffs his mouth full of them, gnaws all the juices out of them, and then deposits the remains WHEREVER he sees fit.
Here is Noah reaching for the door handle. This is actually pretty amazing when you see it…he’s on the VERY tip of the tips of his toes! Why the drive to reach so high? He LOVES the bathroom. For some reason, all the drawers and storage…it’s one of his favorite spots to just stop and pull everything out…not to also mention his fascination with toilet water.
Since we are on the topic of Noah, I’ll follow up with the landmark announcement that he’s taking his first steps! Here he is being adventurous with Emily.
One final pic of the boy, the morning-hair rockstar…
Kay in a princess hat…seems fitting.
Bekah in a Jester’s Hat…somehow equally fitting.
It’s funny to them now, because they still have good eyesight. But here they are making a pair of glasses out of some weird bendy stuff from P.F. Changs. And NO…Emily and don’t frequent P.F. Changs. It just happened to be one of the few restaurants still opened at the hotel we were staying at.
Here is Bekah and Emily, both testing out our new baby carrier…trying to get a feel for which one Noah might be more comfortable in.
