Happy Birthday Mei Li

Here are some pictures of the kids with Banjo.  Banjo is getting ready to lick Mei Li's head.  Mei Li is more smiley than ever.  She just started 'talking'.  She likes to wave, move around (if only she could crawl)  (Thank god she doesn't crawl yet!)

 Why does Abe always make such goofy faces for the camera?
 Look who's 4!

Swimming!

This summer Abe has taken swimming lessons all by himself at Southwest Pool.  He has two other classmates (and he is a head taller than both).  They stand on this little platform in the pool and take turns with the teach floating on their backs and fronts, doing bobs, etc.  Abe doesn't like to put his head underwater.  And when all the other kids jump into the pool, Abe holds the teachers hands and sits down on the side to slide in.  Mr. Safety.

Abe's Semi Truck Birthday Party

Today Abe had his 4th birthday celebration with his friends from preschool, Maryan's and church.  The sun came out just in time for the festivities, which included painting the cardboard semi, running through the truck wash, playing pin the 18 wheels on the truck, and just plain running.  Everyone had a good time.  Happy birthday little buddy!





9 Month Mei Li

As I post this I realize that Mei Li is actually 10 months, but I I figured we'd better get some in from her 9 month Banjo photos.  At 9 months, Mei Li had 4 teeth.  She loved eating everything on her own--especially taking bites off of big things--like the poppy see bagel below.  She was moving around--pivoting and somehow making it in different spots on the floor.  She rocks back and forth on all fours.  I keep saying that any day now she'll start crawling.
