Who's the girl with the most balloons?

小馬哥玩 氣球 玩的不亦樂乎 Who's the girl with the most balloons? It's 小馬哥 (little melissa) 歐耶 (oh yay!)

Ha ha.. I'm probably gonna get some comments regarding how I cut and paste and try to pretend to be all Chinese literate... :)

Anyways, this is a cute video of Melissa playing with the balloons we got for her birthday party. Also this is a pretty good video on how well she can walk now (when focused and not sleepy or tired)..

Melissa's First Birthday Party

Melissa is 1 year old now.. She had her first birthday party this past weekend. A lot of friends and family came and helped celebrate her birthday. Melissa had a lot of fun and completely skipped her normal nap but it was worth it.

We had the party at the local park, where we reserved a picnic area. Here are just a few pictures from the party. We were too busy to take any pictures ourselves, but fortunately, aunt Susan and Anna took some pictures and sent them to us.. We're still looking for more pictures from friends and relatives that took them, so if you got some, please mail them to Sandy, we'd really appreciate it :) Also wanted to say thanks and we really appreciate everyone who came and help us celebrate this special occasion!

Melissa Reading Books

Melissa enjoys flipping through the books these days. She also pays attention to you when you read to her. Look how serious she is when she reads her books in this video:

Melissa Attends Spencer's Birthday Party

My friend Jeff came up with his family, wife Tracy and sons Spencer and Connor over the long weekend. They invited us to go to ChuckyCheese (A pizza and games place for kids). Turns out it's Spencer's 3 year old birthday party and lots of people showed up.

Connor is about 3 months older than Melissa, they look very cute together although they're too young to really interact with each other.

Melissa had lots of fun there and we all enjoyed it as well. Actually, it's probably a little too much stimulation for Melissa, as she woke up middle of the night crying afterwards, doh!

Melissa Walking

Melissa can walk like 10 steps now, and she keeps trying and practicing! She's so brave, even though see walks like she's drunk, she keeps trying and sometimes even refuses help and shakes off my hand.
