I'm ONE!

Well I'm back in HK with my parents and once again reunited with my grandparents and extended family. It's good to be on vacation and have a change of scenery, but I unfortunately fell sick the day I got here and was diagnosed with a throat infection. Boo hoo! So for the first week here I did a bunch of crying and was extremely clingy to my parents.

Since my recovery, I'm been a busy little piggie--eating and shopping my way through HK, which explains the lack of posts. Here's a quick update of the last two weeks, with more to follow in the next post!


When you feel sick, all you want is a big hug from Mommy or Daddy.


There's a bunny in the living room!


Oh wait, it's just cute lil' me. : )


Big hugs with Daddy. Doesn't he look hot with his new haircut?


Family photo!


After seeing Daddy on his crackberry all the time, I've also learned how to pick up and talk on the phone.


Here I am having some "char siu bao" (bbq pork buns) at Sunday yumcha.


Mmm it's so yummy! I'm only allowed to eat a little bit and only the bread part, but to me it's delicious!


Here's me leaning away from my cousin Ryan as I'm afraid he's going to take away my biscuit.


Ok, I'll stop eating to say hello.


My adorable cousin Ryan! We're just about the same age, just a couple of weeks apart.


Ryan is more interested in the camera, I'm more interested in my food.


Me: Oh no, my biscuit is almost gone!
Ryan: How come the camera moved so far away from me?


Here's Ryan and me hugging (or actually being forced to hug) and Daddy debuting his directorial skills.


Wu-Chan family photo with the cutest babies in town!


This is my version of spirit fingers.


I'm happy because I've recovered from my throat infection!


More food, please!


Slurp slurp... that looks good!


Just as my bib says, I'm a sweet baby. : )


I get so excited every time it's mealtime.


Yeh-Yeh loves me and is always taking photos of me. I thought it'd be nice for him to be in a photo himself for once!


Last week I had dinner at Poh-Poh and Gong-Gong's house. It was a lot of fun!


During my dinner, Poh-Poh tested me on my Chinese and check out how good I am! I can clap, "cing cing", and motion "no more" on command.


Here is Gong-Gong preparing some yummy banana for me.


This is one of the few occassions that I was actually a patient princess waiting for my dessert.


Yummy! Bananas are crazy delicious!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! It's now the year of the Rat!


I woke up on Thursday to a beautiful view--Yeh-Yeh presenting me with a lovely red packet. My parents tell me that the best part is what is inside. Does that mean there's food in here?


Hmm.. it has an interesting texture and has a nice sound when crinkled. I think I'll keep it!

In the early afternoon, we had to go around to all of our relatives' houses to "bai nian", but I was at home napping the whole time. When everyone got to our place, I woke up and changed into my special Chinese New Year (CNY) outfit that Poh-Poh bought me.


This was the only decent photo that Mommy was able to take with all the little cousins together. That's Talia and Tyler in the back. Daddy tried to take my thumb out of my mouth but I refused.


Auntie Karen and Ryan. Isn't he so adorable?


Here I am leaning against Daddy and holding Uncle Raymond's hand. I'm not used to waking up and suddenly being surrounded by 20 people talking loudly and walking all around me.


I look like a little Chinese doll in this photo!


Here I am slowly beginning to come out of my shell...


Look at what a cutie pie Ryan is!


Me and Ryan.


Just little ol' me.


This is me being shy again and reaching for Daddy. I've been especially attached to him recently.


Here I am pretending I can fly (or just trying to squirm out of Uncle Joseph's arms).


If you haven't already noticed, people like to wear red around CNY. Here we all are with Mah-Mah and Yeh-Yeh.


And another photo with Gong-Gong, Poh-Poh, and Uncle Joseph.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO NAOMI, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

I'm one! Wow, it's been a great year and I just know that there's a lot more to come. Yippee, bring on the new year! My birthday fell on the second day of Chinese New Year and in honor of me (as usual), we had a birthday party at the Jockey Club. I'm so special! Here are a bunch of photos from my spectacular fiesta!


Wu family photo. There are two of them because in this one, my eyes are closed.


But in this one, Yeh-Yeh's eyes are closed. To be fair (and so that we both have a nice photo), I posted them both.


Another with my other grandparents!


Posing with Grandaunt and Granduncle (and another red packet)!


Can't forget one with Yi-Ma (my Mah-Mah's sister)!


Poh-Poh wanted her own photo so here we are together. She was the one that bought my birthday outfit--from Korea!


Then I took a pic with Uncle Victor and Auntie Deborah...


and then they wanted one alone with me. Gosh I felt so loved!


And finally one with Daddy and Mommy! It's about time!


This was my birthday party banquet menu.


Big hugs from Poh-Poh and Gong-Gong!


Peace from Yi-Ma!


Smiles from Auntie Deb!


My pretty pout.


Just waiting for the food...


A photo with another Granduncle and Grandaunt. Err, why are you holding me like this?


Ok, I'm starting to feel a bit uncomfortable...


Playing with Talia. Yay!


I love my new shoes!


Talia: Hey Naomi, look this way.
Me: Ok, just a moment.


Talia: Can we play now?
Naomi: Wait, I'm posing.


Talia: Are you ready yet?
Naomi: Almost...


Talia: I'm getting tired...
Naomi: Ok, last one...


We're 1.5 years apart, but we have lots of things in common--big eyes, cut noses, and sexy lips!


Sleepy Ryan. I'm surprised he stayed asleep with all the noise in the room!


Random shot 1...


Random shot 2...


My cake! Ain't it beautiful? As it if wasn't amazing enough to look at, the taste was an explosion of deliciousness in my mouth! (I was able to eat a small fingernail-sized piece of the cake.)


Let's dig in!


Ooh, the strawberries look good.


Oh no, not another photo!


Enough already, I want to eat!


Mommy let me have a strawberry first before anyone touched the cake.


MMM YUMMY!!!


Time to cut the cake... Tyler wants some too--where did he come from?


Now THIS is what I call a party! As the famous Marie Antoinette once said, "Let them eat cake!"


What a party. Now I'm pooped. Time for a nap...


After my party I took a long nap and woke up feeling refreshed and ready to party all over again.


"If You're Happy and You Know It" is my favourite song in the world! Each time I hear it I can't help clapping and dancing along to the music. Here's a video of Mommy singing it and Mah-Mah humming along. You can't really hear Mommy though because Mah-Mah's volume is overpowering!
