Mid Autumn Lantern Festival in Chinatown

Mom, where are the lanterns? I just see Chinese-styled flip flops...

Erh... Mom, I love the brightly colored lanterns, but I'm tired now...


Sequoia standing completely bowled over, and getting a lil bit bored, by all the lanterns in Chinatown. Pity they were of the same designs tho :-) Mom says gone are the good ole days when there used to be some pretty grand designs... Bummer....

Sequoia & Her Love of Balls... August 2009

Sequoia hugging her ball at the Botanic Garden

Sequoia about to kick off with her favorite yellow and green colored "Secret Love" ball...

November 2009 - 1st Combo Sentence... and More Balls :-)

Hello, my dearest love, Sequoia...

Mommy has been so busy I have not had the chance to upload more photos or write about your antics....

Yesterday morning, you said, "garlic" and I was so shocked!!! How interesting you are, my dearest baby. You also said your first combo sentence... perhaps as expected since you have an unexplained love for balls of all sizes, you said, "where... ball?" It was hysterical to hear....

For weeks now, you have been showing me you know what a ball or a star is in real life vs in your story books.

Today, you did me proud! You actually showed me that you knew how to put two and two together for people as well. You've been doing that for weeks now... pointing to the ball in the storybooks and, thereafter, pointing to your balls littered around Ah Ma's living room :-)

You also pointed to your jigsaw stars and then pointed to the stars in your books... So, it was a surprise to me, that after all these weeks, you never pointed to yourself in the flesh as well as Mama's mobile phone photos and videos...

But lo an behold, when one least expects it, it happens...

You pointed to yourself in Mama's videos and photos many times and, thereafter, pointed to your face and your forehead.... you then pointed to Mama in the photo and video and then to me in the flesh...

Sigh... a mother lives for these moments!

May God continue to bless and protect you always, my little Boboletta! Mama loves you beyond words...

July 2009- Sequoia & Heaven at the Beach

Where's the ball, Mom???

Oh, there it is... Look, I'm kicking the ball at the beach! Boy, it feels good to know how to walk and run!

I love the wind in my hair...

It's breezy but am getting tired...

Erh, what's that on the ground?

I'm tired already, Mom

Erh, I'm thirsty now...

July 2009 - Me & my Kitchen!

Erh, is this my kithen, Mom?

Don't take a pix now, Mom. I'm busying playing...

OK, I'm done... gonna do some reading now...

I'm driving in my car...

Having a sunny day at the pool... taking a breather now...

My face is smeared with chocolate from my 1st chocolate wafer...

I love bangles, leg bands... i put anything on... here i am wearing Mom's silver bracelet as a leg band...

Another of Mom's hair band as a leg band... at my Aunt Jen's 10th anniversary dinner party... see I told you :-) I'm so vain....

Oh, here I am... eating a piece of walnut bread at my Aunt Jen's anniversary party... i'm starving... when are we having REAL FOOD???

OK, game over... I want it off now, Mom!!!

I love sitting on the toddler sofa....

I love water!!! I really do... me and my cuz, Anjali and Amisha...

Check out the grin on my face... i am soooooo happy!!!

I'm at my cousin's house playing.... I am sooooooo happy... check out the grin on my face!!!

I am getting super confident... look at me!!! I am at the top of the slide. I climbed up all by myself... with the help of my rubber "suction" soles! I feel like spider woman!

Here I am again! I love the kids' playground...

Mommy dearest and I....

Sequoia says "Big Ball!"

June 2009 update....

What a beautiful smile, my love...

Sequoia and her favorite "big ball..." her favorite word at the moment. She would wake up from her nap and I would hear from saying, "big ball," through the baby monitor :-) Sooooooo cute!!!!!!

Gosh, her face just changes so much... sigh... Sequoia in Dec, 2008...

Sequoia in her swimsuit and twirling a yellow donut on her right foot... just like a little acrobat!!!
