Christmas 2009

Our Christmas tree. I wonder why mommy hung most of the ornaments so high up???


My super big present.


Daddy's present from Aunt Holly.

I had lots of stocking stuffers from my parents.


I received an artist easel for Christmas from my parents.




Of course, I have to help daddy with putting my easel together.

Birthday Videos At Chuck E Cheese's

Here are some videos of my birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's in San Diego.

Here's me dancing.

I've decided to be nice by sharing my Chuck E Cheese's medal with mommy.

Birthday Party At Chuck E Cheese's

We celebrated my second birthday at a Chuck E Cheese's in San Diego on Dec. 20th. It was my first time ever to go to Chuck E Cheese's! Mommy was afraid that I would be overwhelmed by the large crowd of people and Chuck E himself. I proved mommy wrong! I love Chuck E Cheese's and we're going back to use up my remaining tokens.


My Elmo ice cream birthday cake.

All birthday stars get a Chuck E Cheese's medallion. I LOVE MINE!


What was mommy doing? Silly mommy.

To high five or not to high five Chuck E, that was the question!

Paw-paw (Chinese for maternal grandma) came to my party. What an honor to have her there.

Here's me giving paw-paw some L-O-V-E.

My Second Dentist Appointment

I posted both pictures and videos of my second dentist appointment on Dec. 16, 2009.

I didn't cry as much as I did at my first dentist appointment. I got my teeth cleaned and checked. My dentist applied a thin layer of fluoride on my teeth after getting rid of all the BIG BOOGERS in my teeth. She said that my teeth are nicely spaced apart and that I have only a couple of molars left to go. My parents are excited about that because they won't have to put up with my painful gums in the middle of the night!


I looked cool in sunglasses while getting my teeth cleaned and checked :-)


Daddy was the bad guy because he held me down just so my dentist can clean and check my teeth.


Here's my dentist checking my teeth to make sure that I have no cavities. She said that my parents did a GREAT JOB of making me brush my teeth.

Video: I didn't cry at the beginning of the second visit because mommy told me that my dentist is a booger cleaner and that she would get rid of all my boogers in my mouth!!! :-)

Video: I got my teeth flossed and my dentist found a BIG BOOGER in between my teeth. Wooo-hoooo!!

Chopsticks In Training!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!! HUGS AND KISSES FROM YOUR ONE AND ONLY TESLA ;-)

My goal for 2010 is to be able to hold chopsticks like my Chinese relatives! I was exposed to holding chopsticks back in June 2009 at a Japanese restaurant called Sachiko. I became really good at holding chopsticks just a few days before I turned two.


June 5, 2009 ~ We had lunch at Sachiko. I had Udon noodles and my parents had sushi.


June 5, 2009 ~ Arrrgggggghhhhh, it's so hard to use chopsticks to get my noodles.


Dec. 3, 2009 ~ Watch me pick up noodles a couple times. I love instant noodles and my parents love Korean spicy noodles from Costco.


Dec. 3, 2009 ~ Another video of me using chopsticks.

Mommy's Birthday Dinner at The Melting Pot

I love the fruits that they serve.

Here's a video of me blowing out mommy's birthday candles.

My 2nd Birthday

I had a super duper busy and fun 2nd birthday. We went to the Tucson Zoo in the morning of my birthday. Then we had dinner at Montgomery's Saloon, which isn't far from our house. We ate at Montgomery's Saloon so much that all the waitress sang happy birthday to me.


My parents bought a rocking horse from Costco for me. It was a real bargain!


I learned how to say "he haw" while riding my rocking horse.

Morning car ride to the Tucson Zoo.

I ran straight to the sunglasses rack once we were in the gift shop.

I love to try on sunglasses. I liked this yellow super big sunglasses

I LOVE TRACTORS!!! I'm so lucky that I got to ride in grandpa's tractors over this year's Thanksgiving break.

Here's the video of the waitresses from Montgomery's Saloon singin happy birthday to me.
