Yay! Here Comes My Baby Cuz!

It's been a really busy weekend.

Before I had a chance to recover from partying with Sierra and the older kids, I was off to another soiree. Uncle Jeff and Auntie Jeanette are expecting my baby cousin in a couple of months so they threw him a welcome party. Yay for presents! (check out the belly!)

They called it a shower...but I didn't see any water. I mean...if there were water around, I'm sure I'd have found it. You know how much I like to play in the water. I mean...check me out on Noon Year's Eve:

Anyway...it was cool to hang out with the family...especially my great aunts and uncles since I don't get to see them too often. Plus...when I see them, I usually also get to hang out with Kimora. Everyone thinks its so cute how we play together. Little do they know, I'm upholding the Tai boy reputation. Growing up...daddy's aunts and uncles would always say, "Uh oh...watch out for those Tai boys." Unfortunately, I haven't gotten the details on what that means or why my daddy and uncles got the reputation for being troublemakers. I'm sure there are some interesting stories out there.

So...back to my padawan Kimora. She may be older than I am, but I learn a lot from the toddlers at daycare...so I'm just sharing the wealth. We were right in the middle of my lesson on drawers when but her daddy swept her away. Darn it! It was right before I could get to the really crucial stuff too...how to open them and what to do with the stuff you find inside (toss it everywhere!). Oh well...next time! Muh-ha-ha-ha! The force is strong in this one!

Happy Birthday Sierra!

Sierra was nice enough to invite me to her 3rd birthday party at U-ME place in Menlo Park. Happy birthday Sierra! Thanks for inviting me out to play! I hope you like your present!

If you're thinking that this sounds familiar, it's because it is. I checked this place out just before I turned four months old. (old post here) It's when Auntie Christi dressed daddy and I up like little fairies. :(

It was a lot more fun this time. We played duck-duck-goose...and someone called me a goose! I wasn't fast enough to chase them down, so I had to do the ducking. Unfortunately, all of these kids are faster than I am. Not only can they walk...but they RUN! Unfair if you ask me. I went around twice (with mommy's help) and both times, I picked who I thought were the slow ones of the bunch. Man was I wrong. Both times...they got up and hunted me down. Darn it! Still the duck! The party guy finally took pity on me and took over duck duty.

They set us loose for free play and I got to check out the power tools, do some cooking in the kitchen, hang out on a trampoline, and crawl through a bunch of tunnels! I also worked on my sharing skills with another little girl in the ball pit. Hmm...maybe someone should work with vampire girl on her sharing skills!

After lunch, the party started to break up as some of the kiddos needed naps. Not me! I powered through and kept on playing. Daddy and I played with the jumbo Legos. He said he was building a fort. I don't like playing fort.

All Is Well

Thanks for everyone's concern about my vampire bite.

I went to the doctor and she checked me out. She said that it was a superficial bite and that the redness was normal. She prescribed some super-Neosporin which will take care of all the bugs that may have gotten into me from the dirty vampire's bite.

The redness and swelling keep going down and things are looking better and better.

People say that chicks dig scars, right?

Team Edward vs. Team Jacob

Can you see it?

Right there...just below my knuckle. Yup! Those are teeth marks!

I am so joining Team Jacob! Down with the vampires! Although...now that I've been bitten, does that mean I'm going to become a vampire? I wonder if Team Jacob will still want me.

So you're probably wondering what happened, right? Well, I was minding my own business playing with a toy at daycare when this huge toddler comes walking over and tries to take it from me! I'm not intimidated. I mean, why should I be? Just because he's a walker? Nope! So, I do what any normal kid would do and hold onto the toy. Then, Mr. Walking Toddler goes and bites me!

Can you believe that?! Team Edward should kick him out of the club for picking on someone smaller than him.

BTW...I cried really loud to make sure he got in trouble. I mean...it's not like I was the one who tried to take the toy from him...right? ;) Don't mess with one of the Tai boys!

Happy New Year To All!

Happy new year everyone!

I can honestly say that I didn't make it to midnight. I tried and I tried...but only got to 8:18 pm. Actually, daddy's the only one who really made it. Tachi was a lazy dog. Yes...mommy's awake in the picture, but she cheated! She fell asleep on the couch and just happened to wake up at 11:45 pm! She's got a great internal clock.

I'm really grateful for my awesome family and friends and I'm looking forward to even more fun and memories in 2011! Maybe I'll even remember some of them when I'm older!
