Pancake Tuesday ... a week late

Grandma, Grandpa, Mommy and I went to IHOP for pancake day.

Here's a picture of Grandma, me and Susie, the hairy-armed pancake... turns out Susie was a man, baby!

My weekend car

Here are some pictures of me with my car at Grandma's house...

(by the way... Mommy didn't pose me for these pics)

Don't I look so natural, with one hand on the wheel and checking my blindspot?

My car turns into a trike!
(keeping my hand on the wheel again...)
check out the junk in my trunk!

Happily moving along!
Check out my new shoes!

at this rate, I'll get my license before Mommy!

Grandma Lynn has offered to take care of me every other Saturday so Mommy and Daddy can get some errands done... Yeah, right! She offered to take care of me so we can have time together!

This was the first Saturday that we got to go OUT together. Usually we spend our Saturdays together at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

We went out to lunch with Auntie Karen and Grandma says I was a very good girl. The waitress warmed up my food and I got to eat with the lovely ladies!

Next we went to Babies R Us and did a little shopping - Mommy and Daddy (I don't know exactly who it was, because they both blame each other) forgot to bring my main diaper bag - the one with all the diapers! - to Grandma's house, so Grandma needed to buy me diapers. She saw some cute outfits there and couldn't resist getting them for me too!

Of course, my shoes were in the main diaper bag too... so we all went to the mall to get my feet measured and Grandma bought me proper walking shoes! I'm getting used to this kind of life!

We went back to Grandma's house and I got to play with Auntie Karen and Grandma Babes - I showed off my new shoes and I walked around my makeshift walking station (Grandma Lynn set up the chairs so I could cruise from chair to chair!)

I had lots of fun Grandma! Can't wait to do it again next time!

My first Ash Wednesday

Mommy and I went to the mid-day Ash Wednesday mass. We thought the church would be practically empty, since we were going at 12:15 (and most people work, right?) but the Church was almost completely full!

As usual, I was quiet during the singing and singing during the moments of silence... Mommy put her hand over my mouth to quiet me a little and I blew a raspberry into her hand! A little embarrassing for Mommy, but not for me because I got some laughs from the people around me!

Shortly after I got the ashes on my forehead, I made sure to wipe my forehead on Mommy's cheek... She had extra ashes on Ash Wednesday!

Here's a picture of what was left on my forehead!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Chinese New Year is tomorrow and we just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Lunar New Year!

It's the year of the Rat and Auntie Carmen made this for me...

kung hei fat choi!

Thanks Auntie C!

Daddy's Monday Night Birthday celebration

We celebrated Daddy's birthday at Grandma's on Monday night... We ended a wonderful dinner with a Birthday Fruit Tart... Mommy and Daddy were very excited to see it come out! (Mommy was more excited, but Daddy was the one who had seconds!)

Watch out for the knife!

In some countries, 3 candles = 34...
(if we put 34 candles, it would definitely be a fire hazard!)

I watch as Daddy blows out his candles!

At the carwash...

Here are a bunch of pictures of me at the car wash... Mommy and Daddy were trying to keep me entertained, but of course, I was the one doing the entertaining!

Can you tell how sunny it is today?
It was such a beautiful day! Spring is on it's way!

I call this one
"Very excited Addison"
I usually get like this right before naptime and bedtime!

Daddy gets my attention...

...he always makes me laugh!

I call this one
"Intellectual Addison"
I'm calculating insane mathematical equations and disproving theories as I chew on Daddy's sunglasses!

get these upside down sunglasses off me!

Much better!

Playing with Daddy's hoodie strings!

Hope you had fun watching me too!

Prrrrrrrrrrrrune!

This is my prune face... my future fake smile!

Daddy's Rockstar/Superbowl party

awww shucks... Mommy forgot the camera!

On February 3, Ninong JB hosted a Rockband/Superbowl party for Daddy. It was great to see everyone! I got to play with everyone while Mommy and Daddy were in the kitchen cooking up 3 different types of wings (Buffalo-style, Honey Garlic and Lemon Pepper)... it was definitely a meat-fest - Ninong JB cooked tri-tip and Ninong Ray was on the grill cooking up the chicken and sausages!

A new up and coming band was formed that night "The Santa Ramen Club" with it's members Mango, Cherry, and the guitarists Jimi and Hendrix... Adults can be pretty silly sometimes!

Happy Birthday Lola Syl!

Today is my Lola Syl's first birthday as a Grandma!

I hope she has a great birthday! Even though she's all the way in Toronto, we think of her all the time here in California! I usually get to talk to her on the phone and I'll call her today to wish her a happy birthday!

We love you!
