Just half year change

It is always fun to look at a younger me. Hard to believe a faked pony can cheer me up so much. Now I have riden a real pony already. My favorite thing now is watching sesame street. I learned quite a few dance moves from it. Dad was really puzzled how educational experts call watching TV 'passive' learning. Now I can earn watching one hour sesame street per day. Can't wait going back to China. During the long flight, sesame street can bring everyone peace.

We have a big family in China. Getting a gift for everyone is a tough job. Dad has been shopping like crazy. Today he was even recognized by a compusa sales guy as dad has been there too often.

Now I am one and half years old.

You never know until you explore

My blog has been quiet for a while. Can't blame dad being lazy as our camera was broken. Canon E18, a well-known error which bugged so many people. As an Engineer, dad made a nice try to fix it once. But he couldn't fix it twice.

Dad decided to upgrade our camera to SLR. Unlike point-shoot cameras, SLRs need user to be more educated on camera. In other word from dad'd mouth, it takes time to figure out what you really need. A game most of us play every day about balancing cost and performance. Mom certainly can't bear the idea that I have no pictures for a while. We ended up with having an 'temporary camera', or you can call it 'secondary camera', a cheap one which fits its name.

The following picture was taken in Gymboree with so-so lighting. It is a whole lot better than our old camera, tahnks to IS technology. The movie mode was much more superior to the old one, which even makes us think who needs camcoders any more. This is all done by a camera which costs $179.

Even E18 doesn't exist, our 4M 3X old canon powershot should be collected as an antic a while back ago. You wouldn't know it until you explore. This doesn't just happen for cameras.

Happy Easter!

Egg hunting is the first time ever to me, mom and dad. We even discussed if we need to prepare some eggs painted with color ourselves. So you can imagine how happy we were when we opened the eggs. Great idea! See you all eggs next year.

baby sense

Last night, we went to basketball court and had some fun. On the way back, I suddenly found that a gigantic dark monster was following me all the time. No matter where I went, he was just there with me. I yelled at him and he seemed not to be scared. What can I do, except crying?

Dad and mom just laughed as they said the monster was my shadow. Today, we went to my 18 month check-up, which was scheduled a little early as we probably would go back to China by that time. We just found out I am 35inch in height and 28'9" pounds in weight. No wonder the monster was so big.

I can play

To most players, shooting basketball is easier than making a dunk. Not to me. I make every single basket with a slam dunk. Just like this. Grandpa and Grandma were quite impressed from QQ video. They are going to visit us soon. Before that, I am going to China to meet them. Dad promised that I will have a lot of good food there in Chengdu, which probably is the most famous cousine city in China. I have no idea what he is talking about. But look at mom, she starts drooling.

Our new neighbor moved away

Probably the mom felt we visited them too much. She was a little concerned with her baby's safty. They moved away. We are so sad that we couldn't watch them grow up. Now there is just an empty nestle sitting there.
It is still a mystery to us how they made the move. Did they get some help like that dad hired somebody to move our furnitures? Babies could be very heavy.
