Lauren in Taiwan with Mommy and Tong Family

Last week, Lauren and I were in Taipei with Porpor, Gongong, Carol and her family, and Lisa and her family. Lauren had a great time playing with her cousins.

I'm so excited. My Elmo bag is packed. Taiwan here I come!

Choosing can be so hard...

Lauren doesn't like this boy.

Do-gooders start young.

Lauren still likes to lick things. I'm afraid to ask.

Riding the MRT.

A walking iguana captures the kids attention.

Brave climbers at the park.

Motorcycle!  (Okay, technically a scooter, but the kids think it's a motorcycle.)

Love the expressions!

Lily and Karyn in Hong Kong

It was so nice to see Lily and Karyn both in Hong Kong at the same time. We miss having everyone together! We had a little play date at our place, followed by fish dinner for mommies only.

Funny Ashley

Video 552 - Ashley was so cute when she discovered that dropping a small toy through the hole at the top of a her walker resulted in the toy appearing at the bottom.  She let out a couple of excited squeals before I could get my video camera out.

Video 553 - So sweet that Ashley's big sisters, Natalie and Lauren, occasionally try to entertain her, this time using a plastic bag.

Video 554 - It's sour and she make a face, but Ashley keeps eating a slightly sour orange with Porpor.

Video 555 - Watch Ashley trying to play with Porpor's iPad and getting frustrated when she can't figure it out on her own and nobody helps her.

Um, I can explain. It wasn't me.

Ashley closing her eyes in anticipation of the flash.

Ashley and friends

About once a week, Ashley has a play date with friends. She and her fellow one-year-olds are beginning to "play" together more and more and it's cute to watch their curious interactions.

Somebody's happy she got the cookie.

Home-made bread from the Lungs.  Thanks, Jason!

Ashley really enjoyed being carried by Corine yee-yee.

The kids clamouring for Corine to carry them.

Super cute ones.
