Daddy's Luggage

Daddy's Luggage from Jujube on Vimeo.

Daddy left his luggage around my play area after our trip to NY. This means it's prime area for me to explore!

New Shirt

Thanks Grand Auntie Sandy for the new shirt! (I had to wear this while Daddy wasn't home.)

He'd like to think that I'm a loyal Mariners fan and most likely I am, but Mommy discovered there was a big tag on the back of the shirt that was irritating me. (Mommy was more a Met fan than a Yankee fan, by the way.)

New York, New York Part 4: Jujube Takes On FAO

Dim Sum in NY from Jujube on Vimeo.

We started the day eating dim sum with Adrian's mommy and daddy, Edison's grandma, and Grauntie Sandy, Pau Pau, Dai Kaumo, Dai Kaufu, and Sai Kaufu. I had some mango pudding, but I think I gave most of it to Daddy.


After dim sum, Grauntie Sandy took us around the city and the first stop was FAO!!!!!!


Unfortunately, I had started a nap on our way there and I slept through a lot of FAO, so I didn't get to do a thorough visit. I guess I'll have to wait until another time to visit FAO. I did see a few parts, though.


I woke up while passing the Barbie section. This is the Barbie Runway. Mommy didn't let me stay here too long. Although she loved playing with Barbies when she was little, she didn't want me to get the Barbie complex (wanting to be blond and blue eyed).

Daddy had fun here, maybe a little too much fun.

Here, I met Spot from one of my favorite books.

There are a lot of Spots here!

Bear Shopping with Daddy from Jujube on Vimeo.

Here I am in the Bear section with Daddy.

This bear is as big as Daddy!

My visit to FAO wasn't all that bad. I scored two birds from the Wild Kingdom section. They each have their own distinct bird sounds. I love my birdies!

After FAO, Grauntie Sandy drove us around the major sites for Daddy to see, like the Empire State Building and South Street Seaport. We stopped in a few places.

Home with My Buddies from Jujube on Vimeo.

After our plane ride back, it was nice to be at home. I gave hugs to some of my buddies that I missed. If you look carefully, you can see my two new birdies from FAO!

All in all, I had a lot of fun in NY. I saw a lot of new sights and met lots of family. I hope I can see everyone again soon (maybe at the next wedding)! We miss you!

New York, New York Part 3: Jujube Takes Manhattan (Downtown)

After the day of the wedding, we spent some time in the city and had some yummy food. Daddy and I did a little bit of sightseeing since we both have never been to NY before. Daddy and Mommy spent some time in Littly Italy and had cannolis and other treats while I hung out with Grauntie Sandy and Pau Pau. I didn't mind because I got to play the drums in Rockband there.

We walked from Chinatown to explore the Financial District, which Daddy had wanted to see.
Here, I'm in front of the fountain at City Hall Park with Mommy & Daddy.

Guess what, I saw a giant cow! Mommy and Daddy corrected me and said it was a bull, but I haven't learned what that is yet. We had to take a fast picture because there were people waiting in line to take a picture with the cow.

Here's Dai Kaumo and Dai Kaufu. Dai Kaufu was our tour guide.

Here's Daddy and me overlooking the construction for the memorial at Ground Zero.

We also met up with Auntie Niti since she lived close by. She's Mommy's good friend from when she was in high school.

Afterwards, we had a yummy dinner back in Chinatown with everyone.

New York, New York Part 2: The Wedding

Here I am all dressed and ready to go to church for Uncle Adrian's wedding. If you look carefully, I'm doing some pro bono advertising for Sai Kaufu's company.

At the church, I read some good books to pass the time before the ceremony.

The ceremony was nice and I now have another auntie.

My family with Uncle Adrian and Auntie Angie. I was getting a little tired here.

During the break between the ceremony and reception, Pau Pau and Gong Gong took me to see the first house in NY where Mommy and Dai Kaufu lived during the elementary school years (and when Sai Kaufu was born). The whole trip made Mommy very nostolgic.

At the reception, there was a nice fountain in the lobby. I was trying to look for duck.

Mommy, me, and the fountain.


Daddy, me, and the fountain.

Here's Pau Pau and Gong Gong and Edison's grandpa and grandpa doing the cha cha.

Here I am with Dai Kaumo and Dai Kaufu. It's way past my bedtime here.

Congratulations, Uncle Adrian & Auntie Angie!

Daddy and me dance from Jujube on Vimeo.Here's a sneak preview of my first dance with Daddy. One day I'll wear a big white dress to go with it. Maybe by then, I won't be staring at the sparkly chandeliers so much.

New York, New York Part I: Edison's Toys

I went to NY last week for Uncle (aka Mommy's cousin) Adrian's wedding. It's my first time in NY and also my first time meeting Mommy's extended family. I was really lucky because I stayed over Edison's grandma and grandpa's house. I got to play with his toys and use his gear like his crib, booster chair, car seat, and even his rubber ducky and fish during bath time, which I loved a lot!

Here I am living up my Rockband days with Edison's guitar (or Auntie Stephanie's?)

This mike is pretty tasty too.

I liked hugging his animals too.

Funny Bunny from Jujube on Vimeo.
There was even a bunny!

Too bad I didn't get a chance to meet Edison. I've seen him in pictures and a book. I've played with his toys. Hopefully, one day I will.

My Musical Mother's Day

Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the Mommies out there! I had a fun day spending it with Pau Pau and then with Grandma in the evening.

Here are some shots of me jamming with the band at Dai Kaumo and Dai Kaufu's house.

Here's me and the ol' six string (or button?)

Drum Help! from Jujube on Vimeo.
Daddy needed help with the drums. I thought I'd show him some of my technique. As you might have seen already, I do have some experience here and here.

Drumstick please! from Jujube on Vimeo.
I've come to learn that "Please" doesn't always work.

Tasty Number from Jujube on Vimeo.
I tried my hand at some singing too.

Piano Play from Jujube on Vimeo.
I think I liked the piano best because I actually made some music. I called this one 'Baby Concerto No. 1'


I'll leave you with this picture of Daddy playing it up in his solo debut.

Rock on!

Funny Video

Eeeee from Jujube on Vimeo.
I like looking at my videos too. I find them hilarious.

Yup, that's me!

Mind Your P's and Q's

Since I have more than 11 (last counted a month ago) teeth which includes several molars, I've taken up teeth grinding as one of my pastimes now. My OT told Mommy to use chewy toys to stop the grinding. Mommy dug up this P and Q that I got from my first OT.

Oops, Daddy

Daddy kept Big Bunny away from me so this is how I responded.
*WARNING: Not for the squeamish*

Crazy Sticks

My Auntie Veronica gave me this case of Hello Kitty utensils (along with other Hello Kitty food gear) that she bought in Japan. I love the fork, spoon, and especially these chopsticks!

More Daddy's Wallet $$$

Daddy loves leaving his wallet around.

A word I'll probably use more when I'm older.

Cashew's Birthday

I went to Cashew's birthday party this past weekend. I had a lot of fun!

I got to play with some of Cashew's toys.

I watched her blow the candles on her ice cream cake that her mommy made.

And took pictures with some of my friends. Unfortunately, we're missing a few others who left early or came late.

It was hard getting us to take the traditional Happyfish kids group picture since some of us (like me) kept trying to escape.

Some of our daddies had to secretly hold us down.

See their hands? At lease 3 daddy hands are in this picture.

Stick the Nose on Elmo from Jujube on Vimeo.

We also played a fun Elmo game. My friends that were older than 2 had to wear a blindfold, the rest of us were allowed to look. I sort of knew where to put the sticker, but I wanted to keep the nose sticker for myself.

I Want My Sticker Back! from Jujube on Vimeo.

Eventually, Daddy helped me put the sticker on, but I was really mad that I couldn't keep my sticker.
After everyone finished playing, I went back and played it by myself. I had so much fun with this game, Mommy thought about getting this for me or maybe making one?

Mr. Mariner Moose

I went to another Mariners game this past weekend and met the Mariner Moose. Maybe because I was pretty surprised when I first met him, but I think he is sort of freaky. I didn't really want to even give him a high five but Mommy made me.

I was highly suspicious of him. Maybe I need to get to know him better later at the other games.

It was a close game for the Mariners, or the 'Rainiers' as they were called today, since it was Turn Back the Clock Day. It was tied at the time we left (past my bedtime), but the Mariners lost 2-3 to the 'Oaks'. :(

P.S. Even though it looks like it, Mommy does not have a baby in her tummy. However, she does have me ON her tummy. She's wearing a mamacoat.

Big Hug

I got Big Bunny from Auntie Mae on Easter.
'Oi' mean love in Chinese (Cantonese).

Funky Hairstyle

I'm 17 months now and my hair has been growing and growing.

Remember how I wished for more hair?

Well, you gotta be careful what you wish for because,


one morning I woke up with really unruly hair.

Mommy brushed and brushed and combed and combed to calm my hair down.

But she wasn't totally successful,

Because, look at this!

And my side profile.

I decided to take matters into my own hands.

Oh look, Mommy used a hair clippie!

And its a bird!

I love birds!

Mommy, look, bird!

Let me put the clippie back.

Oops I dropped my bird clippie.

Back to square one! I'll just have to live with this babyhawk style.
