Ethan's Buzz Cut!

which came first? :)

Opening Birthday Gifts!

Ethan was ecstatic when he turned one! He was grinning from ear to ear.
It took a few hours for Ethan to open all his gifts, especially this large one!
Here's one of his "smile for the camera" poses again.

Smile for the Camera!

Not sure where little kids learn to smile for the camera but at 11 months old, Ethan started squinting his eyes and smiling when asked to pose for a picture.

Ethan makes a fast break at Gymboree!

I've been horrible about updating Eman's blog. Here is a picture of him practicing his basketball skills at 10 months old.

Brushing Eman's Pearly Whites!

9 Months!

Ethan showing off his two new pearly whites at 9 months of age! He's had these beauties for at least 2 weeks now.

Growing up...

Month 8 was a big one for our little Eman. He starting eating lots of different kinds of food including some table food. He likes dim sum and porridge and once his daddy even made him pureed teriyaki chicken. His first two teeth, the bottom central incisors came in. He starting crawling, pulling himself to stand, and walking around while holding on to furniture. He also learned to clap his hands, wave bye-bye, and pick up food using his pincer grasp amongst other things. It's amazing how fast he's grown. *tear*

Here he is clapping his hands...though he was very reluctant! hah!

Hot-tubbing on my 8 month birthday!

Neither one of them can contain their excitement (as you can tell)!

Ethan's 1st Haircut!

It's a bird, it's a plane....

It's our little E-man!!!

Here he is flying up, up, and away...

And as always, he stops to pose for the camera with his usual big smile!

After coming down for a smooth landing, he digs for "gold" treasures in daddy's mouth...

Chef Louie Jr...

Another chef in the making? ... I hope so... This way we won't be eating ramen when we're 80...
