We are so thankful that we got to spend some time with Will’s family in California this X’mas. The last few days has been both challenging and relaxing. Iris couldn’t really sleep on the plane so it was quite a long trip on our way to Oakland. However, we didn’t really plan to go anywhere so we enjoyed our time with our family very much.
Both Maybn and Prisca has grown so big now! We had a fantastic potluck at Wilson’s place on Saturday. As always, we were so impressed by all the gourmet cooking going on in the Cheung’s family. Iris definitely had a fun time joining Prisca and Maybn at Discovery Kingdom (although she couldn’t really do much). We look forward to the days when Iris can play around with her cousins!

After months of preparation, Sophia and Fang-Yi had a wonderful chamber recital on Sunday. It has been a long time coming! After a baby and eight months later, Sophia still got it!
I have to say I was surprised to find that I liked Shostakovich’s Cello Sonata a lot. It has so many intricate parts and the melody was stuck in my mind for quite a while (perhaps I was at the practice sessions too much…;) In any case, we had a good turnout and Sophia’s students certainly enjoyed it a lot.

Time has really flied by so quickly! I can’t believe Iris has arrived for 8 months already. She has been getting quite active lately–trying put anything that she can find in her month (fingers, papers, stuff animals, balls, MY fingers, etc…) She also learned how to sit quite well now.
Next stop is for crawling! Well, at least for going backward first…

Murray and Kay were such great hosts! I really think that “Gua Bao” can really make it to any restaurant! We really enjoy the conversation after dinner as well.
As for what we want to be thankful for this year — I don’t think I need to say it out loud. Iris has been such a great gift. As I have been telling my friends, she’s much better than I expected. Yes, our lives have changed significantly. Then there are poops and clothes covered in vomit. However, I can’t really find anything in life as beautiful as our little Iris…;)

Her first sippy finally came the other day and she looks so funny holding it up. She can’t really suck up the liquid in it yet but we’re hopeful!

Iris has certainly grown a lot! She has just started eating solids for the last few weeks. She has grown a lot taller and her chubby cheeks are just adorable! Can’t help myself from pinching them!

We want to thank Shile and Dan for inviting us to their lovely wedding! Congrats! We had a lot of fun going out on a semi date night (we still have Iris with us). It’s definitely a blast meeting with Murray and Howard’s family again.

I don’t think life is ever going to be the same again as we have such a cute daughter! (Proud mode on…) She did have some problem with going to poo poo but prune solves everything…;) Thanks Anne for suggesting such a wondering thing.

Iris was playing dress-up today as a little pink bunny. Sophia bought her to a meetup today and the bunny was met with many different animals, monsters, and princesses. It looked really fun and I wish I could be there!
