Growl!

婆婆 made a handsome outfit for Baby Bunny.  She really loves clothes with a busy pattern.  If these pants are one of the options for her to choose, she will always pick them.  婆婆 made her the top a few days later.  She looks like a little jaguar.  Growl!  By the way, did you notice?  She's standing without holding on to the furniture!  She's only brave enough to do that for a couple of seconds.  But, in this house, we celebrate every milestone.  Hooray!!!

Christmas 2012!

Miss Olivia wishes everyone a Merry Christmas!

Shoes Mama bought for me over the summer.  I can finally fit into them snuggly.

Baby Bunny silly face.  In case you're wondering, I have 5 teeth now.

Getting ready for sleepies.

Mama and Daddy went to San Francisco.  I got to spend 4 days at 婆婆's house!

Baby Bunny Camp-Out

Baby Bunny is camping out at 婆婆's house.  That's because Mama is in San Francisco for the Cell Biology meeting, and Daddy came along to visit a city he has never been.  So, Bun Bun was packed up with her clothes, toys, food and off she went to 婆婆's house.  婆婆's house has all sorts of fun things.  She's got big wooden couches to climb.  胖姨 is there and so is Doggie.  Bun Bun gets to Skype with Mama though.  That is fun, too.

This is my third trip to San Francisco, and my third conference here in 15 years.  Each time, the city looks different, but Chinatown has pretty much stayed the same.  John is doing all the tourist stuff, like going down to Fisherman's Wharf and visiting Alcatraz Island.  I get to learn a lot of cell biology, meet some interesting people, and present a poster.

Back home, the students are taking their final exams.  I will be grading them when I get back.  Then, it is Christmas break.  Although, it's not really a break since I still have lots of work to do...

Baby Bunny Happenings - Growth

It struck me this week how big Baby Bunny has gotten.  On her last wellness visit back in October, her physician thought she wasn't weighing enough for how tall she was.  She suggested we increase her food intake which we willingly obliged.  Since about May or June, she has been growing length-wise and lost her wrist rolls; her cheeks don't even look as chubby any more.  In fact, for several months, she lingered around 16/17 pounds.  So, we got Bun Bun a bigger bowl for her yummies, started to give her more protein, and added fruits to her diet. We aren't due in for another wellness visit until the end of January.  I'm pretty sure she'll be at least 20 pounds.  She's looks so long in her crib that use to look humongous when she first started to sleep in it back over a year ago.  Now that she stands more, she looks so tall.

The daughter of a friend of mine gave birth to a preemie this week.  When the request went out for preemie clothes, I rummaged through Baby Bunny's old clothes to pass on.  My goodness, were they tiny! 

Don't grow up too fast, Baby Bunny!
