Love this...

I love this picture.

I love this picture because this was one of the good days where he didn't try to bite her finger off, take her tummy time toys or squeeze her stomach.

One Month

Here are her 1 month stats:

9.59 pounds..50th percentile

20 inches..50th percentile

I can't believe it has already been a month!! Saria is such a fun, good baby. She is a fairly good eater and for the most part a very good sleeper. She only wakes up once during the night to eat and then goes right back to sleep.

It is so fun to dress her up in all the different clothes that were given to her!

Happy (Chinese) New Year

2011 is the Year of the Rabbit. I have to admit, I have always known about Chinese New Year and knew that my birth year was associated with an animal, but have never really given it a second thought. That is until we moved to China and got the chance to experience it first hand. Living on the 55th floor of our apartment building afforded us the best view of the most amazing fireworks display I have ever seen.

The Mandarin teachers and students at Brycen's school put on an assembly that had singing, traditional dragon dances and drums. After the assembly we went back to his classroom and the kids made dumplings. The dumplings are made with meat and veggies and then boiled to cook the meat. I turned around just as one of Brycen's classmates was eating an uncooked dumpling...poor thing, the teachers were mortified.
