2011 May

May was a big month for PJ as he was (a) potty trained, (b) moved from his "cribber" to the big bed, (c) stopped taking Miralax every day, and (d) starting taking swimming lessons.  Also, for some reason known only to a 3-year-old, he bit me on my shoulder during dinner, hard enough to break the skin, but not enough to bleed.  At the time of the incident, he was very happy and probably showing off for one of our dinner guests.  He was not nearly so happy with the ensuing timeout.  Another time during dinner, he made the following unsolicited comment: "Scrumptious!"

Mei-mei has developed quite a personality, and has discovered she has quite a set of "pipes".  She says "Da-Da" now, not only frequently but also loudly and is prone to fits of laughter when Mommy says "Eew-Eew" (Chinese for fish). During dinner, if the food isn't coming fast enough, she'll let us know.

From the left are Milo, Noam and Mei-Mei.  Noam was born the same day as Mei-Mei at the same hospital.  Click here for a higher resolution version of this photo.

A blurry hug.  I'm not sure why PJ appears to be "nudies".

PJ often takes great photos, such as this one.  My shirt is still damp from my bike ride home from work.

Good work buddy!
