Tristin and Isabella: June 2008

Well, Mommy's been very very busy these last several weeks with her work, so she hasn't had a chance to update my blog...so I thought I would help her out this week and give everyone a quick update of all the things that have been going on here at chez choi.

I'll be officially turning 8 months next week - yay! (my how the time flies when you're having fun)....although it seems like it's been a while since mommy and daddy had a little party for me, complete with elmo balloons and cake.

Since the last time we saw each other, it seems there has been an endless stream of new experiences and some 'firsts' that I am quite proud of if I do say so myself. Here are some highlights:

My first haircut. Mommy and daddy thought I was starting to look pretty shaggy. I guess it was the curls that were starting to hang over my eyes and ears and my cool mullet in the back that made them think so. So they took me to C's salon where I got my very first cut! It was kind of cool in the beginning, but then I got bored and started crying at the end to let everyone know that, hey, enough is enough.

Started crawling this week. Mommy was getting worried that I would never be capable of moving myself around. (Can I help it if I like flopping around on my tummy with my arms stretched out wide like I'm superman? Mobility is totally overrated.). Anyway, to calm her fears, I decided to start taking my first crawling steps. I especially like crawling toward the mirror where I can admire my own technique. Now that I've started getting the hang of this, I can see serious potential for exploring every nook and cranny of the house. Watch out world...here I come.

My favorite toy. I still enjoy the occasional session on the jumperoo, although it is starting to get so, like, '1 month ago'. Now, I'm obsessed with my new "Walkabout" toy. This is the one where I can sit in the little seat that has wheels, and walk in circles around the center table that has all kinds of fun toys attached to it. Man, sometimes I can walk around in that thing forever. I think mommy and daddy like it too, since they've placed it upstairs next to their desks where they go on doing their boring work while I'm whizzing around like a race car driver.

Met a whole bunch of fun, new people. Let's see, there was Mommy's friend Auntie M and her cool daughter miss J who came to visit us after their bike ride. And then there was Mommy's older brother J, auntie Y, and my awesome little cousin Y2 who visited from Korea and stayed with us. How fun. We'll write more about this in a separate posting.

Phew, now I'm pooped (uh oh, maybe literally). There's a warm bottle of milk downstairs that has my name on it so I'm outta here. Enjoy the pics, and I'll be back again soon.
