I am fascinated by this photo. AND Husband captured this one. IMPRESSIVE. Of course, being the pathological picture-taker I am, I let him know why this was such an awesome photo. I frequently let Husband know that there are many wife-husband photography teams out there in this wonderful world of ours. "Yeah, yeah," he says. A girl can dream.

Little One officially denied food today. Oh yeah. A handful of a grilled ham-cheese sandwich and green beans made it into her mouth AND out came the green beans. The skill of it all was quite impressive. It made my MIL and me laugh, but we tried to hide our delight, right? I bet all of the recent birthday festivities introduced her to the happy world of sweets that she's bound to never leave.

As many of you know, trying to fit computer work and Internet browsing in during the day often requires the little one's participation. She's very happy about it. I mean, how can a day out and about in much-needed warm weather compare, right? Spring can't come soon enough. Hello?

See that guitar case in the background? Well, it houses the guitar I borrowed from my sister. I borrowed it so that I could teach myself how to be a phenomenal guitarist. Yeah. Little One and I pull the guitar out every few days to pluck on random strings to add entertainment to a usual day.

Happy Wednesday. That means ... Happy 1st Birthday Little One!

Little One and Lil' Sis celebrated their birthdays together. AND, of course, it was fabulous! With lots of delicious food and lots of friends (95% of which were Lil Sis's who adopted Little One as their own), it's hard to mess up.

Really? Lisa really is this gorgeous inside and out. Obvious, right?

We hung out at Los Angeles Union Station. AND I LOVEd it! I have seen the station in a few movies and badly wanted to visit it. So, it was great! If I had to choose, I'd prefer to be at Grand Central Terminal in New York City, but who ever has to make that kind of decision. :)

What a good sport she was! This is usually how it goes: the person I am photographing and I show up to a site very, very excited for the experience; a half-hour passes and I am just gaining momentum as my "model" starts to get the oh-my-face-is-tired-of-smiling sickness; it's close to an hour and I just want to get the "just one more shot" photo many times over; then, I see that I need to stop shooting very, very soon, like now--Lisa was no exception. I am sure that her not eating before the photo session hurried the attrition. I usually bring sustenance along, but was only prepared with the basic puff snacks  and half-slice of bread for Little One.

However, once we arrived at the Grand Central Market, we ate some delicious food and were all happier.

Stay tuned. Yup! More photos are on their way.

Lisa is the bestest littlest sis that a girl could ever ask for. I LOVE this woman to pieces.

We hung out in Downtown L.A. for this photo session and Lisa's school, FDIM, was only five blocks away from where we were. (She is on her way to being a top designer.) I wanted to see this FDIM campus, but we needed to beat the rush-hour traffic, so we drove home. Life sort of revolves around traffic in Los Angeles.

One, two YouTube tutorial videos mixed with such a kind-willing-amazing sister later and I am a happy girl. I've been wanting to live my life with a whole lot of bangs for some time now. AND it is finally fo' real. My hair is reaching its potential. Yay! 

I snapped a photo of myself using the webcam while I chatted goodnights to Husband. Always a multi-tasker, I am. Webcams are very forgiving on the complexion. I like.

Happy Chinese New Year! I believe that this celebration has not taken place in my parents' home since I left for college eons ago. I LOVE that I, and my family, get to share this Chinese holiday with Little One (and Husband)! It has come back to life! Yay!

I have very fond (very very fond) memories of receiving money in red paper envelopes every Chinese New Year. Now, our baby has revived the tradition. She was the lucky recipient of four red envelopes today.

My dad loves Little One. It's sweet. I love seeing how she affects the lives of her grandparents. AND she knows exactly the amount of attention she commands. What a lucky girl!

I am up late (as always) devising how I can eliminate all the anguish in this world, especially, of my loved ones ... AND all I can come up with is ... donuts. Donuts. I need to go to sleep.

Goodnight. :)
