ooh, my own bowl and fork to practice with!

nj was so excited to get his own bowl, an iron man bowl! he happily used his fork and spoon. he did a great job without much mess at all. 

yay! go wiener dogs, go!

thanks for meeting us, auntie marcia!

wow, these goh-goh's all look just like dot dot!

leche flan, baba's favorite filipino dessert!

i don't know about this flan stuff...

mmm....

more?

sitting around at 99 ranch

shorter hair, better faux hawk...

i want that, mama!

can't tell what he wanted, but he kept pointing up.

i see broccoli!

he really wanted it, from the moment he sat down. he'd point to the broccoli and point to his tray. so demanding!

broccoli makes me smile!

we tried to get him to ask for broccoli, but it sounded more like, "goboli".

where are we going, mama?

brunch with auntie and a visit to grandma?

i'll drive, let's go dot dot!

you gotta try this pancake!

even better chased with water.

ahhhh....

choo! excuse me. woke up with cold hands and feet and sneezed all day, hope it's not a cold.

look, dot dot, look

time to clean!

doh- forgot my shoes

oops, nj out and about without his shoes! 

you're funny, baba!

entertaining our fidgety boy during our long wait at din tai fung. mmm... yum!

ahhhhmmm...

he was given a little bowl with a fork and spoon. we expected him to just play with it, but when we put food in the bowl he started feeding himself using the fork! we looked over and were surprised, excited, and proud. he really is becoming a big boy.

hee, hee...

i like feeding myself!

my bowl is empty!

what? there's no more?

first drive through car wash

you're so pretty...

thank you auntie joy!

ooh... fireworks

great view, baba!
