在小小的房間說恩典的故事

This weekend was our 6th year anniversary
and hubby and I had planned to let
my aunt Opal and uncle Tim to babysit Noelle.

Before we let them take her,
I was hoping to drain her out

We go to the State Fair every single year.
It's really great family fun and
some food you can only get at the fair.

Not that I enjoy all of them.
Things like deep-fried snicker bar or

What else can you do but to play and have fun all day?
Life is grand, when you're young, no?
Well, it is for Noelle~~


Playing with Tigger.

這兩樣有啥關聯呢﹖答案是﹐完全沒有!

不過老媽沒時間分兩篇寫了﹐
反正是同一天﹐
就合併吧!

其實不是真的翹班﹐
因為小小的奶奶和老爸
今天都很忙﹐
老媽工作今天正好不忙﹐
所以就翹啦!

Most parents know kids at Noelle's age does this thing with their playmate
with they side by side, parallel, instead of playing with each other.

July 4th Noelle got to play with Victoria.
And today we got to play with another little girl
in the playground around our house.

I have been dreading putting Noelle on one of my childhood favorite things to do
-- the Merry-go-rounds. (旋轉木馬)

I was thinking she will either:
1. Cry so much the first time because of the motion and wastes my money or
2. Love it so much and won't get off.

Side-view

Well... I was really embarrassed
when the nurse at Noelle doctor's office asked me
"can she stack up blocks?"

"I do try to teach her, nurse...Lord knows I do..."

These kids are natural comedians..

Or maybe I just discover new ways to laugh at Noelle everyday...

Every night after dinner,
the three stooges, I mean,
Noelle and her dada mama would enjoy some time together
because we spent most of our day apart from each other.

Last night, Noelle sat on the sofa

話說今儿個我們回家打開車門時﹐
看到一個包裹。

小小爹爹說﹐“咦﹐你買了什麼東西嗎?”小小爹爹最怕小小媽媽亂花錢了(雖然小小媽媽也有賺錢!)。
小小媽媽當然說沒有!!(買的書已悄悄寄回臺灣朋友家)

Hi Miss Tata-ko (sounds like taco...)
I did try to get Noelle to call you Aunt Tata,
but all she can manage to say was
"Tata" and "Auntie" separately.

Little musician at it again.

I wouldn't say that she's very musically talented
judging by the way she only bounches a bit with the music.

I think the first clip is just hilarious...
and the second one her dada who's refuse to show his face
(but not his voice...yikes)
was dancing and posing for her along with the song
and she was just mimicking him.

Orange is Noelle's favorite fruit
and I have evidence!


I love orange!

Noelle FINALLY learned how to move the toy car
by herself now.

I think maybe it's because her legs are too short...

Sleeping has always been one of the biggest challenges of Noelle's life.
Her daily sleep requirement is at 13.75 hours.
While every baby can sleep more or less,
Noelle does sleep a lot less that even her doctor is concern about it.

^ this picture is for Rita...bet you like that.

Anyway, so I took Noelle out to the neighborhood park
for the first time today.
We've always enjoyed walking around our neighborhood

Most babies I know loves being upside down.

Noelle is just one of them.
Today her dada did the trick and she fell in love with it.
So Dada does it for about half an hour hahha...
