Evan & Meredith

This is our friend's baby boy. Meredith is sizing him up.

Eating green beans

Little Tiger has started eating solid food last two weeks. We gave her some Gerber baby food such as banana, apple sauce, peas and green beans. The Gerber green beans package has to be one of the worst tasting food created. In typical western food fashion, this green beans thing is tasteless and flavorless. Little Tiger does not like the green bean at all, she has a hard time keeping the green beans in her mouth. Instead, most of it ended up on her face.

Loch Ness Monster

There is a legendary monster called Loch Ness monster in Scotland. This mythical creature live in the depth of a lake and sometimes popped its head above water and amazed tourists and locals alike. This mysterious creature has been affectionately called Nessie by locals. See picture above for Nessie moving around in the lake.

Similary last few days in the early hours of the morning, we found a hairy creature staring at us while we are sleeping. This creature is not able to see a lot above her crib because she is not tall enough yet. She is straining her neck to the best of her ability trying to see her mommy and daddy while they are sleeping. She doesn't make a lot of noise in the morning, all she does is move around in the crib. The only thing visible for a few minutes is a mop of black hair moving around and then suddenly Little Tiger with her darting little eyes appear like Loch Ness monster to our amazement.

Firetruck

The fire truck visited our neighborhood. It was National Day Out and Meet Your Neighbor Day. The neighborhood association organized a casual hotdog meal get together at the pool.
The association has been heavily criticized for not doing anything at all for the past three years.
Every household has to pay $400 annual dues. Last year, they spent $3000 on a puny christmas tree that adorned the neighborhood entrance and $38,000 to clean the 10ft x 10ft swimming pool. They must have hired a lawyer to clean the pool.
After constant bombardment from the residents, some of the board members were kicked out and the neighborhood association is doing better now.

Iis pretty cool that they got the firetruck out here. The kids just went crazy and you can see them swarming all over the truck. Meredith told me she wants to grow up to be a firewoman.

Showing her teeth!!

Little Tiger finally has two lower front teeth! You can see that in the first photo.
By the way, she is at home this few days since Boon Hong doesn't go back to school until end of this week. We are also trying out a new babysitter. She is an older lady from China and she lives in the retirement home three miles from here. The plan is to go pick her up and have her at our house by 6am everyday if this works out.
