Hair cut

小茉莉's Baby Afternoon-Tea Bday Party

*you can click on the picture to enlarge

Today is 小茉莉's 2 years old birthday and 茉莉mama threw a baby afternoon tea party for the kids at a candy shop cafe. The theme suits 小茉莉 perfectly because she is the sweetest little girl. In a flash, these little tinies that we used to hold in our arms are boucing around with cupcakes in their hands and faces. Thank you for every sweet precious memory you are making for Noah and me!

Noah the Conductor

Taiwan High Speed Rail (Taipei-Tsuoing)

Noah must have picked up from his Thomas Train DVD that to make the train start moving, he has to blow the whistle.

Art work: Window of Weathers

Ouch!

Fortunately, it may have sounded loud and painful...but Noah just stood up , no crying, no fussing, and just went on playing.

Cousin Audrey and Carolyn

What are these fishes doing?

We went to Ilan today because our cousin wanted to check out this hot spring that is famous for fishes that eat the dead skin off your feet. Mommy was too scared to try but Aunty Betty and Uncle Joe said it's very very ticklish!

Taking a break

Taking a water break after the class.

Errooo!

This is when Noah was about 15 months old. He just started walking and speaking some words like papa, mama, hello. He loved imitating having phone conversation and saying "errooo!".

Someone has a curler on

When Grandma was getting ready to go out, Noah wanted Grandma to put a curler on his hair too.

Cowboy

Towards the end of Noah's art class, the kids get to choose an outfit and have fun playing the character. Today, Noah is a cowboy!

But sometimes....he makes a mistake and chooses something funky....

Art Class

Noah's first painting(with apple tree and airplane added by mommy)

Lao To-Tse

We were trying to find a matching outfit for Noah and Taiwan Grandpa.

Pancakes at Chace's

The fluffiest, yummiest pancakes in town.

Check out the sunglasses

Xmas Lighting in Bellevue

The time of the year is here again!

Red Bicycle

Our favorite cafe - Tully's

This is our favorite cafe...during the week, I usually put Noah in the car when he seems like he's ready for his nap...and on our drive to the Tully's, he'd fall asleep and I can enjoy a nice nearly two hours break for myself, reading, using computer, or just daydreaming. My favorite drink: Chai cider.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Before heading out to the Chu's for Thanksgiving dinner, we went for a little walk at Yarrow Point's Morningside Park. It felt a little surreal because no-one was driving on the streets and all the stores were closed. Obviously, this was my first Thankgiving in the States in a while...I can't wait for the hot pot at Christine and Julius'!

Hungsters

Medina Beach

Many part of Seattle is surrounded by water. Medina is one of them. We live about 10 minutes from this area and today we had our lunch here. But it's really getting too cold! (the white building on the right is a police station!)

Big boy now

One more month and Noah will be 2! Are you ready for pre-school?
