6 Months Old!

Is that teddy bear getting smaller? Kian is now 27.5 inches tall (85th%) and weighs 18 lb. (60th%). As you can see, he's still got that great little tuft of hair on the top of his head -- the shark fin, tidal wave, mohawk, Cupie Doll or Alfalfa hairdo, etc. It has drawn a lot of comments from friends and strangers alike for the past 6 months, and we wonder if his hair will ever flatten down!



Kian tastes sweet potatoes for the first time on his half-year birthday.


On the last day of the Chinese New Year this past weekend, we went to the International District, saw lion dancers, and covered Kian's ears (his real ones; not the panda ears on his hat) when the firecrackers went crazy.


This photo was taken in the car mirror that is mounted on the seat in front of Kian's car seat. Watching lion dancing, waiting for his family to finish eating dim sum, and touring the Wing Luke Asian Museum were very tiring.


We can't believe that Kian has been in our lives for only 6 months; it feels like he's always been with us. Can't imagine life without him. We love his little personality that is shining through and his funny mannerisms. We love when he looks us right in the eye and smiles big. We love hearing his laughter and his delightful babbling. We love his strong jumping legs and chubby active feet. We love his big, squishy cheeks and his huge, bright eyes. We love this boy more than anything else in the world!
