Twenty five weeks old!

Xinyi is twenty five weeks old!

Baby discovered her friend the owl, as well as the camera today. 

Look at the drool!

This was a fun week - a week full of selfies, a baby shower, and Father's Day! First, we took some family selfies for fun :)

I love how Shane and baby made the same faces!! The last face has been deemed the Clara face.  She does it all the time right now :).

Then mommy took a baby and me Ergo selfie while baby was napping.

On Saturday, we had a blast at Eupheme and Gavin's Jedi Princess Baby Shower! It was complete with Death Star ice cream cake and x-wing and tai fighter cupcakes!

Death Star posters

 

And Star Wars m&m's

There was a Jedi training photo booth, too, with balloon light sabers!!

Baby loooves to let her mouth hang wide open when she is excited. Here she is with Auntie Judy!

And with mommy

Then Cat and I decided to eat baby's feet, yummy!

Then we had dinner with Uncle Ben, Aunt Christina, Cousin Nathan, and my dad!

The next day we celebrated daddy's first Father's Day with the Brengle side of the family!

Baby loves grabbing her feet! She loves sucking on her toes too!

Here's Great-Grandma Peaches

And Great-Grandpa Chuck

Xinyi loves her Starbucks, just like daddy! So cute!

Then we ended the great weekend with baby's first swim ever!

Baby loves swimming with daddy!

Gemma, Archie, and Xinyi with loving Aunties and Uncles!!

Then more family selfies!

So much fun, we love our little girl!!

As for new things this week, Xinyi tried pineapple, kiwi, grape & broccoli! Grape was her favorite! She's also sitting unsupported by herself for about 30 seconds to a minute! Sophia loves to investigate baby and they love staring at each other!

So now that you have more pictures than you ever needed to see of baby, we'll say goodbye until next week!

Twenty four weeks old!

Xinyi is twenty four weeks old!  But sadly, I don't have as many pictures as last week!  

Highlights of the week include: 

- baby girl learning how to roll all the way over, from back to belly and belly to back, in a full circle!

- baby girl learning how to sit by herself, unsupported!  Only for a few seconds at a time, but she's getting pretty good!

- baby girl tried apple and peaches, she likes apples more than peaches, but still loves bananas the best!

She loves playing peek-a-boo with mommy!

And to help her learn to sit, she spends a lot of time in her new chair... :)

Sorry mommy, I'm too busy to smile, I have some chewing to do!

Sophia likes to hang out with her too!

We will be heading to San Diego again this week for my best friend's baby shower along with Father's Day :).  You know what that means, moore pictures!  But you'll have to wait until then!  

Twenty three weeks old!

Twenty three weeks old!  She is growing up way too fast!  She finally remembered how to roll from belly to back, and she is so so proud of herself!  We're proud of her too!  Every time she does it, we praise her so much that she does it just for the praise!  Silly girl :).  She also has taken to sleep training very well, and daddy has been the sleep training champion.  Mommy is very grateful for daddy :).

Daddy continues to indoctrinate Xinyi with good sports sense, this time for the UCLA Bruins!

Mommy and baby took a trip to Target and baby got to face outwards, which she loved very much.  Shane also says that Xinyi looks like Mr. Clean in this picture.

Xinyi is learning still how to sit...

And she loves her toys so much she can't always stay sitting!

She reaches for everything

And wants to put it all in her mouth!

Daddy put a hat on baby and took a selfie

And baby gave mommy the best silly smiles

 And looks of wonder while in the ergo

She also had a glorious mustache of sweet potato.  Which is only one of the few foods she's tried!  The full list includes: banana, sweet potato, carrot, blueberry, green beans and spinach.  Still to come: zucchini, broccoli and cauliflower, and some more fruits!

And I leave you with screen shots of daddy helping Xinyi dance the Can-Can!

She loves to dance and sing with daddy!!

Twenty two weeks old!

Happy Xinyi!

It's been an eventful week in the life of Xinyi :).  Her parents celebrated four years of being married, as well as Nai Nai's birthday, cousin Gemma's birthday, and another trip to San Diego!  We started sleep training, dun dun dun, and it's gone pretty well so far!  Let's hope it continues to go well :).  And, thanks to all the events, we have tons of pictures!

So part of our drives always look like this...

But most of the time they look like this :(.  She's asleep in the last one.  And I was in the front seat taking selfies as my only way of seeing her since the car mirror was not positioned in such a way that I could see her.  So I don't feel as bad about the pictures since I couldn't do anything to help her from the front seat.

She has quite the glorious pouty face, doesn't she.

While daddy and I enjoyed listening to Tradewinds, Grampy's band, Nai Nai and Tai Yeh Yeh and Tai Nai Nai enjoyed playing with Xinyi :).

And feeding her carrots too!

The next morning, Grammy watched Xinyi while mommy slept a little longer.

She's so happy!

Then we went to breakfast to celebrate Gemma's birthday!

Then Grampy and daddy had a jam session.

And Gemma held baby Clara!  She was very insistent about holding her and was very gentle with her :).

Later that afternoon was Gemma's birthday party, and Grammy and Grampy couldn't resist smooshing baby's face!

Yay for cousins all together!

And Archie and Xinyi, bff's!

Then later that same day, mommy and baby played some piano.

I love that last picture!  So sweet!

And we finally moved her up to 6-9 month clothes!  Yay keep growing, little girl!

Five months old!

We are back from a weekend of fun!  Lots of pictures to come on Wednesday.  But for now, Shane called this outfit Sunshine.

Such a little ham for the camera!
