My 1st Birthday!

I couldn't ask for a better 1st Birthday! I feel very fortunate to have lots of people who must love me dearly to help make my birthday a very special one! Special thanks to those who slaved away to prepare, cook and help set up my party! Thanks for coming to my party! I had a lot of fun and hope that you did too! :) Check out my 1st Birthday pictures here!

Me & my partners in crime

These are my cousins -- they're also my partners in crime! We're patrolling the neighborhood to make sure that everything is in order! :)

Belated Father's Day dinner at Crawdaddy's

Our family at Crawdaddy's in San Jose for a very belated Father's day dinner! Originally, we had planned on going to The Boiling Crab, but since the wait time was around 40 minutes, we decided to check out Crawdaddy's instead which had a zero wait time! We feasted on 5 lbs of crawdads, 2 crabs, 2 lbs of shrimp, corn for each of us, 2 orders of fried yams (YUM!), an order of gumbo and chicken strips and fries. We all walked out of the restuarant weighing a few pounds heavier!

Ga Ga for Apricots

Adrian has always been a big fan of fruits ever since we introduced him to his first grape over 7 months ago. Now with the Summer in full swing and fruits are plentiful, we try to introduce as many different variety of fruits to little Adrian as possible. This past weekend, Adrian got to try apricots for the very first time! This is not your typical store bought kind, but one from his Yeh Yeh & Ma Ma's backyard! Adrian took a liking to apricots immediately. Here's a shot of Daddy eating an apricot and little Adrian diving in for a little sample! Sharing is certainly caring! :)

Adrian's new ride

Ed's coworker was generous enough to offer us a new toy ride that both of his kids have outgrown. As you can see, Adrian and his two cousins (who were all deliberately clothed in yellow tops and navy blue shorts by Grandma Tran) all enjoyed the new ride! They even each took turns taking the car out for a ride using their little feet! :)

Favorite Past Time

If anyone were to ask what is one of Adrian's favorite past times, the answer is below...

To our friends and family, I am now warning you to keep your kleenex boxes FAR FAR away from our little boy otherwise you may discover your floor to resemble that of a sea of tiny shreds of tissue. Our crafty little boy managed to display an "innocent" look while being surrounded by the evidence. He must've realized this and decided to escape from the scene of the "crime"....
