Meredith first wedding


Our friends June and Jason got married this past weekend. This was the first wedding Meredith attended and Boon Hong searched far and wide to locate a dress for Meredith. Unfortunately, Meredith didn't play a role in the wedding even after dressing up.

Meredith washing her bottle





We normally boil Meredith's bottles with filtered water every few days. This is because Houston water supply contains a lot of dissolved solids. Once heated up, the solid such as calcium carbonate will precipitate out and form a layer of white scale in cooking pot and also baby's bottles. We try to once filtered water and the result is slightly better. One day, I placed the big pot used to boil the bottles on kitchen floor while waiting for the filtered water to fill it up. Meredith saw this and decided to help me. She touched the water to ensure that it is the right temperature. She also tossed the bottles around in the pots to ensure everything is submerged in water. I can see her being a really good helper in future.

Baby and french bread





We bought a french bread from Target last week. We were supposed to serve the french bread along with some bbq for a gathering. Anyway, Meredith decided to take a bite out of the french bread. See the missing crust on the first photo. She started playing the french bread after taking a few small bites. About 20 minutes later, Meredith was supposed to have her milk. I gave her the french bread instead of her usual milk and she started crying.

Baby and squash




Our neighbor planted some long squash in their backyard. Some of the squash has overgrown into our back yard. I took one and gave it to Meredith. At first, she looked amused and even surprised by the squash. It took her a while to warm up to the squash and gather enough courage to touch the squash.
