We took anZel to the fair and he had his first pony ride. Apparently he and bingo (the pony/horse) got on very well…

birthday photos

Written by jlz on April 21, 2007 – 3:26 pm -

anZel’s officially 1 now…it feels strange to say that he’s 1, instead of some number of months. It feels like he’s growing up really fast…I still remember the days when we were asked how old he is, and we say “X days!” Then it’s “X weeks”, then “X months” and now “1 year old!”

Thinking back, it’s been a tough year for beeber. She’s always running around taking care of things, regular checkups, picking up toys for anzel, figuring out how to heal anZel’s eczema, etc etc. Mother’s love is definitely unconditional…Also, without grandma helen’s help, it woulda been a disaster for us new parents. Can’t imagine how we could have made it without her.

We had a great birthday party out at the park for anZel today. Here are some random photos:

random photos…

Written by jlz on April 1, 2007 – 1:15 pm -

Haven’t posted too many photos of anZel lately…here’s a good batch of them. anZel’s been doing really good on everything except for eating. Can never get the little dude to eat much solid. It required all kinds of tricks from beeber and grandma before anZel would eat a few spoons. Yesterday when anZel had 1.5 cups of yogurt, beeber was sure that she can win the lotto that day!

anZel’s been able to sign out the plane and the moon in the sky if he sees them.

Haven’t posted photos for awhile now…we haven’t taken quite a few but just gotten lazy lately. Much easier to post videos than photos :)

anZel signs airplane…sometimes he will sign airplane before I even knew there’s a plane above. I think he’s associated the airplane engine sound as well, coz sometimes all we hear is the engine noise and don’t see the actual plane.

trim to shave

Written by jlz on February 16, 2007 – 10:15 pm -

Sigh.

Anzel’s hair has been growing kinda long and the hair grows straight up. So his looked like a porcupine the last few weeks. Yesterday morning beeber and I all of the sudden got the urge to trim anZel’s hair. Part of reason is that we will be going back to see my parents and we wanted anZel to look good. This will be the first time my dad will see anZel.

So anyways, we wanted give anZel’s hair a trim. Not sure why we picked yesterday morning since it was like the worst morning to do anything. Both beeber and I had very early morning conference calls.

I started trimming anZel’s hair and his head kept moving. After a few mistakes, his head started to like the moon with craters all over. By then, beeber’s pretty pissed that she agreed to the trim coz there’s no freaking way we can save the hair cut. So at the end I had to shave him, for the 3rd time!!! sigh…

anZel sleeping before the shave…

sleeping arrangement after the shave…

The good thing is, in both pictures, he’s thanking somebody (that hand gesture is “thank you” in Chinese). So atleast he’s not pissed about the shave.

I think beeber’s pretty pissed coz I’ve been saying we should shave anZel. I think she thinks I just took this as an opportunity to do that…
