Shapes, Elmo and violet!

It's been a fun week, with lots of music and laughter and smiles!


Xinyi loves pretending to drive a car at Gymboree! She squeals and giggles with joy every time! She also loves playing peek-a-boo on the structures. She squealed so loud that other moms were telling me what a happy girl she is!

Happy smiles for daddy!

And post bath smiles!



Baby girl sat like a big girl at storytime!

Sitting with Nai Nai and cousin Nate! I love the looks on both of their faces :D.

And sitting with auntie Christina!

And by themselves!!!

A visit to the birch aquarium to see the fishes. She kept saying fiiissshhhh and shaking her head no, whenever I'd try to get her close to the glass. So silly!

And the ocean! This was the best shot I could get out of her... :)

At dinner, daddy gave baby a Mohawk!

And more selfies!

On Saturday, daddy played baseball with Grampy! And they won all three games!

Someone discovered a new resting place for her finger...

And here she is, waving hi during breakfast!

Right now, Xinyi looves shapes. Here she is reading her current favorite book - all about shapes. We read this book at least 4 or 5 times every day!

And the other thing baby does is turn on Violet's music and press Elmo's belly so both stuffed animals are singing ... overlapping each other... it's a cacophany but she loves it!


And finally, baby girl looking cute!

You are the light of our lives, little love!

Sit! Sit! and other fun things!

Lots of pictures this week! I guess I was camera-happy! 

We started the week off at Gymboree, where Xinyi had a blast crawling and climbing and exploring!





She loves to jump (but not really jump!)


We took some selfies. You can't tell from the angle, but she was resting her face completing on mine!




Double ipad time = being spoiled by Yeh Yeh.


More selfies!





And a sweet Xinyi face!




I found a hat for baby!


Cuddle time with da-da!


Reading to herself during breakfast :D.


A blow kiss for daddy!


Chaos at story time :).


And more Gymboree - we used a free bonus class for a music Gymboree!


She ended up dancing with another little girl!




Little Alfalfa hair :).




Trampoline fun at Grammy's house!


At Great Grandpa Chuck's house, Xinyi decided to lay down on the stairs! So silly!



And lastly, baby girl seems to have goten over her fear of stickers! Xinyi willingly put all these stickers on herself, by herself!!


Baby girl seems to be learning so much! Two of the cutest things happened this week.

First, Violet the dog (a toy) asked baby to give her a hug and she immediately picked her up and gave her the sweetest hug! 

Second, Xinyi pats the ground next to her, or a chair, and says "Sit! Sit!" when she wants you to sit next to her.

So adorable!! We love you baby!
