First Taste of Fish

Daddy's using his chopsticks for me to try my first bite of fish! Yummy Chinese food!
Playing Together

Hey, guess who I saw at the church nursery today?...

I ran into baby David and we played together for a little bit!
9 Months Old

Pooh Bear has come to celebrate me turning 9 months old!

Look at me, Mommy & Daddy! Peek-a-boo!
Tower of Fun

Mommy bought me these new stacking cups to play with!

I just don't know how this stacking thing works though...
First Noodle

Come here, you wiggly noodle!
Activity Table

I have a new toy that Mommy bought for me! I can stand up next to it and do all sorts of fun things with the knobs and buttons on it. Mommy says it might help me learn my alphabet, numbers, colors and shapes! That's a lot of learning!
My Own Room

Daddy and Mommy moved my crib to the next room so that I can have the room all to myself! But...I get lonely sometimes. So, when they try to put me down to sleep, I make sure that I wake up right away so that they'll hold me just a little while longer!
GrandAuntie Maria & Me

Today, we went with Po Po to visit GrandAuntie Maria in Orange County.

We had fun spending the afternoon together!
Upward Ho

Hey, look at what I can do now! I've been practicing getting one leg up...

...and now I can get my other leg up, too! Pretty cool, huh?

So now, I don't have to wait for mom and dad to come over...

...to help me get what I want on the couch!
I bet they're really happy about that!...heh heh heh!
Searching for Higher Ground

I've gotten tall enough to start doing these leg lifts! But I've only figured out how to do one leg at a time, though...
Cheerios

Last week, I really started to enjoy picking up and eating Cheerios! They're my new favorite food!

It's a bit of work, but I think it's worth the effort when I finally get one in my mouth!
Mommy's corner: It's been so much fun watching Nicole learn how to eat Cheerios. She is so focused when she's concentrating on picking up those little O's and trying to get them to her mouth. Of course, initially, she could only pick them up by making a fist around the Cheerios...but found she couldn't eat them with her fingers still clenched around those little O's! And yet, it only took a few days for her to learn to open that hand and use her other hand to try and get the Cheerio to her mouth. How do babies get so clever?

Mommy's corner: Doesn't that mischievous look just
tell you she's up to something?
Buffet Table

Po Po calls this my buffet table, because I can pick up any number of toys to sample and taste! Yummy!
New Haircut

Po Po gave me a new haircut on this chair yesterday! What do you think?
Funny Face

Look at the funny face I can make!
Melon Tug-of-War

Daddy, I want some melon, too!
Mommy's corner: Chris was holding the baby while I was feeding some melon for him to eat. But it looks like Nicole wanted some, too! She immediately turned around to bite the other end of the melon!
Clapping Hands!

You gotta look quick...here we go,
and...
CLAP ! Did you catch it?
Mommy's corner: Nicole finally figured out how to clap her hands together about a couple of weeks ago! It took us a while to get the perfect picture, though!
Like Sinking Sand

Whoa there! What kind of chair did you put me in?

You see, my butt is starting to sink in...

Help me! I'm falling and I can't get up!

Well, I think I'm officially stuck now. Does anybody want to help me out here?
Short a Hand

Look at me! I'm learning how to stand with just one hand for support!
