Still waiting . . .

No news on the baby front yet. No activity to speak of. Jerry made a request that the baby make his/her debut on his birthday, but with only 2 1/2 hours left, doesn't look like it's going to happen. If it makes him feel better, the baby decided to skip my mom's birthday too (8/28).

We were at Ali's tonight (Xiao Yi) to help with programs and favors for the wedding. It was quite the scene: everyone was there: Gong Gong and Po Po, Audrey, Badri and the twins, and us. It took several of us just to entertain the kids. Thank goodness we have a big family. Jerry got the knack pretty quickly of tying the knots. Mom and I gave up. She watched the kids and I worked on the favors. I'm better with menial labor, not the stuff that requires dexterity.

We planted some sunflowers earlier this summer and they turned out to be big! Here's a photo of Wei Wei (with Zoe, the neighbor's dog making an appearance too).

A tux and a party

Another busy weekend. Went into Flushing on Saturday with Xiao Yi to get fitted for a tux for the wedding. The nice ladies at the shop made a big fuss over me. I actually blushed for the first time. I look darn cute in a tux.

And then went to Kai's 4th birthday party on Sunday. I had a great time playing with him. I think my favorite was the moon walk. Here I am with Ba Ba learning to somersault. I don't think I'm going to be a serious contender for the 2016 Olympics just yet.

Bouncing with James (blonde) and Kai (red).
Looking pensive, with ketchup on my face.

Cutie Pies!

Some recent photos of the twins, Kyle and Nathan, who just get cuter and cuter. Seriously, just when you don't think they could get cuter, they do. Overachievers already.

Kyle took his first steps yesterday. I can't wait to see him in action this weekend. Here he is not in motion :

And here's Nathan:

A busy few weeks

Whew! Summer is in full swing. No pics for this post yet, but a quick update on the past few weeks from Wei Wei:
  • Spent a Saturday morning at the beach with my buds Kai, Katarina, and Ethan
  • Had the Lim boys and Sienna come over for a barbecue. I really do need to spend at least a weekend with the Lim boys to toughen me up. Or spend a weekend at a boot camp. Or, spend a weekend at a boot camp to train me for spending a weekend with the Lim boys.
  • I'm pooping in the potty now. You should see how excited Ma Ma and Ba Ba get over that.
  • Kaixiang came for a visit -- I loved hanging out with him
  • Tried to get a photo at Sears of all four cousins. Ma Ma said she has a new appreciation for people who work with kids or animls because in 45-minute session, we managed to get only four photos of all four of us.
  • Celebrated Gong Gong and Po Po's 40th anniversary with a surprise party
  • Ma Ma and Ba Ba caught colds -- luckily I am okay (for now)
  • Ma Ma and Ba Ba have been watching a whooooooooole lotta Olympics
  • Ma Ma has about 3-4 weeks left until her due date (September 7), but remember, I was ten days early. This means I could be getting a new baby brother or sister the last week of August, which isn't that far away. Aaaaaaack!
