Ethan + Chicken Feet

More pictures from our trip to Hong Kong.  This time with captions.

New trick: fish lips.  Or, it's more like his interpretation of fish lips.

Gong Gong gives him the coolest toys.

Other than the keyboard, Ethan got to play with phones, remotes, and camera lens caps.

This is what he does when mommy does her makeup.

On the subway.

Can you tell that he had been watching the Olympics?

Here is a future gymnast.

I told ya!  Having a blast with the remotes.

Family portrait.  At a Westrail station.

It was SO hot in Hong Kong.  

Jake and I were both parched and Starbucks was the closest place for a drink where we were.

Its ice chocolate is pretty good if you ask me.

Karaoke.

It smelled like heaven.  NOT.

Good thing I'm not pregnant because if I were I would've been barfing instead of taking pictures.

Red bean popsicle.  Nom nom...

Chubby cheeks.

Yum Cha.

E's first encounter with chicken feet.  He liked it.  I'm a proud mama.

Watching a show in his bassinet on the plane.

Aaand... We're Back!

Hi, did you miss me?  I'm thinking it's not likely that anyone has been missing my blog posts but I would be absolutely delighted if you said yes.  The hub, the bug, and me have gone to and are now back from Hong Kong!  It was a good trip but it was way too short what with all three of us getting sick and my sissy's wedding celebrations.  We didn't even get to meet up with any of our friends!  I'm quiet distraught by it.  But we enjoyed hanging out with the family and Ethan soaked up all the love his grandparents could give out.  Any tips on how to unspoil your spoiled baby?

Jake came home by himself early because, duh!, he has a job, which means I had to fly home with the mini all by myself.  It was the longest flight of my life.  Luckily, my sister and her husband were on the same flight as us (even though they weren't sitting right next to us) so at least I didn't have to hand my baby to a stranger when I had to go potty.

Here are the first half of the pictures we took with my iPhone in Hong Kong.  I especially like the one where E was typing an imaginary email on his very own keyboard given to him by his Gong Gong.

Oldies but Goodies

I hate importing pictures from my iPhone to my computer because it always take so dang long!  But then again it takes forever since I usually wait till I have used up ALL the memory on my phone before I irritatedly plug it in and impatiently wait for the 700+ pictures to be imported.  Let me not forget to mention that every time a message pops up to inform me that I am forbidden to take any more pictures because I have ran out of space, I go into settings and delete all the nice-but-peripheral apps to make more room for just one more picture of E.  Am I the only one who does that?  Probably.

Anyhow, I emptied my phone of pictures today and these are some gems I found.  They might be oldies but they sure are goodies.

Poor Ethan had a fever for three miserable days.
His was so sick his eyes were only half opened all day long on the third day.

New suit jacket.
