Nose

Ethan knows where nose is. I was surprised when he pointed to his nose so I asked him again, "where is nose" and he pointed to his nose again.

Photo Shoot

We went to Heritage Park in Irvine to take pictures. Pictures were taken by Lin. We went there at 9 am and left there around 10:45. After that we went to Sam Han BBQ Buffet in Rowland Heights for lunch. After lunch, we went to my aunty's house in Chino Hills. This was Ethan's 3rd time longest car ride.

There are few pictures on Lin's Website at http://baby.linphotographer.com .

6 Teeth

Ethan has 6 teeth now. 3 on the top and 3 on the bottom. The 3rd one on the top right just started to come out.

14 Steps

Ethan took 14 steps tonight. He could do more but he got lazy.

Ducky and Whale Soup

On Monday, August 18, when Ethan was taking a bath, he kept putting ducky in the cup with water and tried to drink it. Then, on Tuesday, August 19, he kept putting whale in the cup with water and tried to drink it. hehe

6 Steps

Ethan took 6 steps tonight.

Kid's Club

I took Ethan to Kid's Club near UTC. Kai-Chi, Alice, Weiping, and David were there too. After that we went to library to meet up with Yumi and Tiger. Then we had a picnic at a park near Weiping's house. Weiping was so thoughtful and kind to bring food to the park. Food was delicious!

I took Ethan home to nap. When we were driving toward Mission Bay, Ethan felt very warm. We were supposed to meet up with Kai-Chi at Crown Point and we did arrived at the parking lot, but we decided to head back home cuz Ethan had a fever. His fever last for two days.

Size 5 Diaper

Ethan is wearing size 5 diaper now!

Ethan's First Story Time

Today, we went to University Community Branch Library for Story Time with Kai-Chi, Alice, Weiping, David, Yumi, and Tiger. There were many kids. Ethan enjoyed the singing part, not too interested in story telling :P

After story time, we went to Italian restuarant. Food was great! Ethan was a pretty good boy, he sat in the high chair most of the time.

Afterwards, I called Carol and she told me she was at the Science Center at Balboa Park. While I drove there, Ethan fell asleep. It took me sooo long to find a parking spot (at least 30 minutes). Ethan loves to play and loves to see little kids.

Facing Forward

Daddy changed car seat to face forward on Sunday. Ethan got to sit facing forward for the first time on Monday, August 4. We think he likes it better cuz it's more roomy and he can see whoever is driving face to face.

Full Time Mom

I met up with my friend Carol and her daughter at Java Mama on Friday, August 1. We were there for 5 hours from 9 something to 2 something. Ethan was playing in the play area. He got hurt on his nose. I don't know if he hurt himself or another boy hurt him.

I ordered an Italian hot panini (Carol recommended it) and an iced caramel macchiato. Ethan ate some melted mozzarella, salami and honey-baked ham. He also had some peaches and Grace's crackers and cookies. Ethan slept about an hour on mommy's chests.

After that I took Ethan to ALI to pick up my check and visit people.

Whole Milk

Ethan started to drink whole milk on July 20th. We were at my aunty's house in Chino Hills and didn't bring formula so we gave Ethan some whole milk and he drank it without any problems (that's cuz he ate cheese, yogurt, ice cream before). We didn't have to mix formula with whole milk.

2nd Longest Car Ride

On Sunday, July 20, we had a GTG at Cheesecake Factory. This was my first GTG. We were surprised Ethan didn't sleep on the way there. It was about 1 1/2 hour car ride. He didn't sleep. He was watching Baby Einstein for the entire time.

After Cheesecake Factory, we went to my aunty's house in Chino Hills.

1 Year Well Check Up

He had his 1 year check up yesterday on July 14. His weight was 24 lbs and 2 oz (70%), height was 30 1/2" (75%), and head length was 47 cm (50-75%).

He got 2 shots on his right thigh and a TB skin test on his left arm. He didn't cry when he had his TB skin test, but he did cry when he had his 2 shots on his right thigh.
