January – June: The past 6 months in review

After Christmas, PoPo went to Toronto and had to take a break so we are left in LA without her. Miss her so much, but she will be back in July! That also means Mommy didn’t update Maknugget blog for a long long time because she had no time!

In January, Linus started school! In the past 6 months, he has learned English and speaks in both Chinese and English and can even count in Spanish. He knows his ABC song, twinkle twinkle, 5 little monkeys, happy birthday, and you are my sunshine. Everyday mommy is surprised by yet another thing he knows.

Memorial day, we spent the weekend going to Palm Springs. Linus was amazed by the mountains and kept saying, “WOW! 好大石头!” We spent lots of time playing in the sand and water with our cousins Alton and Alyssa at Rancho Las Palmas again.

Linus started soccer although I don’t think he likes it very much. We enjoyed the beach, hiked often, and rode bikes. We played with our playgroup friends Raymond, Julian, and Lilian. Got into trouble with our cousins Alton and Alyssa. Two of Mommy’s good friends, Auntie Betty and Auntie Wynne came to visit us too! Linus even put on a show in the Toddler room with his friends. Although Linus didn’t do any singing at the Spring show, he didn’t cry and didn’t run away – which is more than we could say for a few of his friends.

7 months – 2013!

Here’s hoping that the new year brings lots of great new things!  Linus is 7 months old now and crawling, sitting like a pro, and standing holding on to something on his own.  Our little baby is not so little anymore!  Mommy and BaBa are going to need to get busy babyproofing.

The hair that never fell out is just a tiny wisp now. Mommy doesn’t have the heart to cut it.Peek-a-boo!
