September 25, 2012: Making moon cakes

ZBL and I volunteered in SPL’s classroom this year to make moon cakes as part of the Moon Festival in Chinese tradition. We are fortunate to be friends with a master moon cake maker, Chun Hua, and she helped us out again this year to make delicious cakes.

← Earlier<p>Visiting with Angel and Chun Hua</p> <p>Our babysitter&rsquo;s daughter, Angel, was visiting from Hong Kong and came over to play with ZBL for awhile :-)</p> Later →<p>15 weeks old: September 25</p> <p>This week we started working on your sleep with a sleep teacher who came over on Sunday and taught us some healthy sleep strategies.  So far, it&rsquo;s been working well with you:  you napped the first time on Sunday for 3 hours!??!?!  Unprecedented.  And it&rsquo;s also extending your nighttime sleep as well.</p> <p>You started reliably and repeatedly sucking your thumb and index finger this week. I wonder if that will last?  You also are lifting  your head up when you are in your carseat or lying against a pillow or a boppy.  Rolling over here we come!</p> <p>Your eye hand coordination is improving and on Friday September 28 you had fun figuring out how to spin a toy on your exersaucer.  Dad was watching you and called us over to see your accomplishment (what else would we have to do on a Friday night?!?!  :-)  You were so focused and intent on figuring it out.  Loved the look on your face!</p> <p>You also are laughing a lot more and in a more vibrant and hearty way.  We were over at our friends Sulu and Zahra&rsquo;s house, and Sam made you laugh and laugh and laugh.  Dad has also developed this idea of the kissing camel (thanks for the camel Nan :-).  He moves it to your face and then makes a kissing noise and you laugh, especially when you are on the changing table :-).  I joined in with an Ernie laugh and that made you laugh more :-). Good times.</p>
