Chinese New Year!

Happy belated Chinese New Year! Two weekends ago we invited some friemds for a dinner of hot pot. On Wednesday, Eliana got a red envelope--we stuffed a couple of chocolate gold coins in there.

Karina is happy and growing. She is now 6 months old and had her checck up this week. At 20.5 pounds, she is still off the charts. Her pediatrician checked her ears and said that the one thing small about her are her ear canals. "She has tiny ear canals."



She eats solids during dinner everyday. We've tried giving her baby food pears and other flavors, but her favorite by far has been butternut squash. Elvin is the only other person in the house who likes butternut squash.


We sometimes put Karina in this contraption. She will play in it for a few minutes.
Eliana, on the other hand, loves to climb in, and play for a long time. Look how scrunched up her legs are.
The problem is she can't climb out herself. Once she was stuck in it for 10 minutes while Emily was upstairs feeding Karina.
The sunny weather means trips to the nearby park.


It's been a while since Eliama's been to the slide.

Eliana's grandma got her a new helmet. Because Eliana has a humongous head, she got a helmet for a 4 year old. She likes wearing it.
Eliana has declared that she's ready for the big girl swing. She knows she's not supposed to let go of the chains ever. She also knows there's a special technique to make yourself go, but it still eludes her.
Karina continues to find her sister irresistible. Eliana's antics often makes Karina crack up over and over...
