Baby and Kaixiang update

I love my little sister Adelaide, although I can't believe she's already seven weeks old. She still has some awful gas -- she could teach me a thing about burping and tooting. Thankfullly, her baby acne and cradle cap seem to be going away, so she's not as crusty.

Kaixiang turned two years old yesterday. We called to sing him happy birthday. He liked it so much he asked for two encores. I must have really been rockin' the song.

Here are some recent pics:

Play date with Keira

I was lucky enough to see Keira twice last week and had a good time playing with her. She just turned two, but she can certainly keep up with me. We played with play doh and painted too.

Here we are eating ice pops:
Here I am giving her a hug:
My Ma Ma and Ba Ba are working on my Halloween costume. I don't want to commit to anything yet. It will be a big surprise for everyone. I've noticed that Xiao Li has been wearing her Halloween costume for the entire weekend. I'm not sure what she is, but she has this yellow, crusty stuff on her head and her face is all red and bumpy...pretty scary stuff!

Fullers in New Jersey

The Fullers were in visiting last week. Wei Wei thoroughly enjoyed having an extra two people to boss around (and who were willing to be bossed around) and Adelaide was happy to have two extra people available to hold her.

We visited the zoo and the farmer's market and also put them to work. Continuing a trend, when Jerry and his dad replaced the sink faucet, the plumbing underneath broke, so we had to get a plumber out here. Also, the dishwasher broke, as did the lawnmower. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Getting along

Wei Wei and Adelaide have been keeping us busy. Some quick updates:

• Annoesjka and Niko (born one day after Adelaide) came to visit us last Friday: Adelaide's first play date! Niko is adorable.
• The Fullers are in visiting this week. Wei Wei loves having two more people to boss around. We went to the zoo on Tuesday. We also tried to shop for a Halloween costume for Wei Wei, unsuccessfully. He's said that he's wanted to be a knight, a cowboy, a ninja, and a dragon. Hmmmm. . . .
• We babysat Kyle and Nathan on Monday night. They are adorable. You should have seen us running around like crazy. And that was with four adults and four kids. We weren't even outnumbered!
• Adelaide is four weeks old. She's developed some baby acne, which I hope goes away soon.
• Wei Wei continues to be a great big brother. Here he is trying to comfort Adelaide:

Alice and Daniel's Wedding

The big day was this past weekend -- a whirlwind of activity, but what fun! So cute to see Kaixiang, Kyle, Nathan, and Wei Wei all together. Adelaide was too young to keep up with them, but just wait another year!

Wei Wei fulfilled his ringbearer duties. He did great. I was so proud of him. AND he looked darn cute while doing so:

We unfortunately don't have any photos from the wedding, but are hoping to rely on others'. Audrey, Judy, and I were in the wedding and all of the husbands were busy corraling kids.

Alice looked beautiful and the reception was a great party. We were all pooped by Sunday night. Ali and Dan are in China for their honeymoon.
