Backtracking - Xmas trip to Houston (9 month)

Happy Year of the Tiger! Well, since my Mommy and Daddy are so perpetually busy they have totally failed to document my adventures during Christmas when I visited Mom's family in Houston. But I did a lot of things in those 10 days: I visited the Houston Zoo, the Hermann park, the Children's Museum and I got sick not once, but twice!
I am one busy baby ...

Palo Alto "zoo" trip

Hello, my adoring fans! This post is about today's trip to the local zoo.
I brought my trusty steed along, of course. As well as carriage (see above pic).
But for a while I walked/waddled around the small zoo all by myself.
Walking is my newest accomplishment.
I am fearless at it.
Met some not very friendly geese ...
... and a rascally one-eyed raccoon.

And then I snuggled in mama's lap and we went home.
Oh yes, and Happy Valentine's Day! And Chinese New Year!

mobility, mischief

SURPRISE!!!!

Baby Attack!

First steps...

Happy Holidays!

Wow, is this for me?

Thank you everyone for the presents!
And the best present of all - WRAPPING PAPER!
