July Trips, Slips and Adventures

July was even hotter than June if you can imagine. We had a lot of days when the temp was above 90 degrees! So I spent time inside playing with all my animals.....

Having snacks with George and Pooh...

And taking trips with all my friends in my Thomas tent.

Mi Tab (aka Na Tab) moved to the city at the beginning of July and I was so excited to meet Ethel. Ethel on the other hand was very suspect of me, as you can tell.

I took a trip to the ANHM and got a big boo boo when I was chasing some big kids around the elephant. I was very brave when I went to the doctor's office. He said I did better than some of his adult patients!

The next day, I took an airplane ride with Mommy and Miss Yai to Ohio to visit Khun Ta. Here we are waiting for Miss Yai to get a haircut at her old school Asian salon.

Here I am on my first trip to Friendly's for a very special clown ice cream! When Mi Tab was my age she put it on her head....she's so silly.

One of the best parts of going to Ohio was napping with Mommy after my nap in the crib. I was having so much fun with Miss Yai that I was napping for over 3 hours sometimes! Mommy wishes I would do that now...

Miss Yai took me to the Kid's Zone at the zoo and I had so much fun playing in the water and petting all the animals.


I always go on lots of adventures when I visit Miss Yai! She took me to the Butterfly House and I got to see so many different types of butterflies. I also saw a frog that terrified Mommy, but I loved it.



Since I was in the area, Mommy and I decided to take a train ride to visit Sassy, Big T and baby Sandy. Here I am very occupied watching a Thomas the Train DVD. Mommy and I were in a sleeper car and it was perfect for our trip!

Reunited at last! I was so excited to see my friend and meet his baby brother! Here we are at one of Mommy and Daddy's old favorites for dinner in Lincoln Park.

We all went to Millenium Park where there was a big kids festival with all these hulahoops, blocks and toys.

After we played in the tent, we went to the big fountains and played in the water. The big screens of people's faces were "pretty cool" to look at.


A nice tubby after all the fun we had was a perfect way to end the day!

Big T and I had so much fun at the Shedd Aquarium. We watched a show with dolphins and beluga whales and I even touched a penguin! Here we are having fun at the touching pool and watching the fish in the Amazon exhibit.

On our last day visiting Big T we all went to the Lincoln Park Petting Zoo where I fed a very hungry cow, drove a tractor and even a old-time truck. I had such a wonderful time visiting T-Man and the rest of the team!

June Heat

June was dreadfully hot, so while Mommy stayed home to enjoy the A/C, Daddy and I went on more adventures.

Somehow we always ended up on the subway and with Michael and Rachel!

I had fun with my friends too! Here is Enzo training for the strongest two-year old competition at Connor's birthday party.

Blake and I had a nice ride!

At the end of the June we celebrated Mommy's birthday. I was very excited to have cake! Here I am trying to sneak a little frosting without anyone noticing....

I know you won't believe me, but Daddy made this very special birthday cake for Mommy all by himself. Mommy did have to answer a lot of questions, but he did all the work! I was shocked too!

It was the most delicious cake I have ever eaten! Mommy loved it too! Miss Yai did clean-up and made sure nothing burned.

May Fun

Hi everyone! Hope everyone has been doing well, Mommy, Daddy and I wanted to catch you all up on all the fun I have been having!

Here I am with the scooter Miss Yai gave me for my birthday.

I went to the Snakes & Lizards exhibit at the museum. I think this one had his eyes me!

I expressed my artistic talents by making a mug for Father's Day with all my friends.

I celebrated my friends birthdays and had lots of fun at their parties!


I visited Michael and played at a downtown playground.

I also discovered my love of grilled corn at the neighborhood street fairs. I like mine with just a little bit of butter and salt!

My daily ice cream cone diet came back with the warm weather. This year Mommy let me add rainbow sprinkles!

I started going on adventures with Daddy all over the city riding my beloved subway!

Here we are downtown at the pier watching the big boats come in.

We always got to have a special lunch together, just the two of us. Here I am having some fun with Daddy's sunglasses at The Bald Man.

This year I discovered a Big Boy Playground in the park that became one of my favorite places to go to. Here I am watering the bench so it grows up big and strong!

P'Yuing started to get more adventurous with my lunches and discovered my love for noodles at lunch time....just like my favorite Miss Yai!
