Around the house

Hanging out on the couch after Mommy made the dessert for Christmas Day dinner.

My hair went through a couple days of curliness!

Daddy swears he did not put gel in it!

Okay, I just woke up from a nap, Dad, what gives?!

More snow!

Well, the temperature has finally risen and more snow has fallen. We went out for a walk for the first time yesterday after several days of being stuck inside the house. Mom & Dad pulled me in the luge through fluffy snow; I could not resist the fresh air and fell asleep within a few minutes.

Daddy returned to work yesterday afternoon after over a week off. Of course, now that the weather is baby-friendly, he can't enjoy it with us! There's lots of winter left, Daddy!

I helped Mommy shovel this morning... meaning I supervised from my luge. The snow banks are growing larger & Mommy fears Daddy's snowslide is only going to get steeper (he can already reach the back fence on his crazy carpet!). I walked for the first time in the snow today... my snowsuit is a wee bit constricting but overall it was fun. Mommy says thankfully I enjoy the outdoors as all the struggle to get me ready pays off!

Christmas Dinner

Driving to the Yip's

Helping cousin Julianne & Adam play a tune.

Helping Auntie reorganize her plastic container drawer.

Funny that the only picture of Mommy shows her drinking wine.

Relaxing with Uncle.

It was a very nice evening spent at the Yip's last night. Auntie Liping made an amazing turkey dinner which I ate quite a bit of (especially the turkey, rice stuffing and yams!). It was the first visit since I began walking, so I spent most of my time exploring. I also watched Uncle carve the turkey with an electric knife, which I found very fascinating. As usual, Auntie sent us home with leftovers so Mommy doesn't have to cook for a couple days!

Christmas Morning

We all had a very nice Christmas! After sleeping until 7:00am and having my morning bottle, we started by opening our stockings. I am pretty good at unwrapping presents... all the paper was the most exciting part! I must have been a good boy this year as Santa spoiled me with great toys & clothes. I was a bit overwhelmed as I couldn't settle down for my morning nap but had a long afternoon nap before going to the Yip's for dinner.

Big boy already!

Early Christmas Gift

Giddy up!

A good horse owner always keeps an eye on oral health!

My new best friend.

What's in the box?!

Mommy couldn't wait until Christmas day to give me my first horse! I'm still too little to ride him on my own, but I like to pet him and make him rock. I think I'll call him Phillipe.

More walking

I'm walking more & more everyday. My balance is improving as I can stop walking, squat, then stand and continue walking again. Mommy & Daddy can't get enough of it! Mommy loves the sound of my feet shuffling & sometimes gets teary thinking about how far I've come. Awe, Mom!
