Max in San Diego

Max was excited that he was going to Sea World.

First day in San Diego and first time in the beach. Max didn't like the water because it was very cold.

Well prepared for the hot sunny day.

Kids playing with each other. How sweet!!

Max's first beer. yummy

Sucking on a thumb in mommy's arm-- priceless.

Since Max loves to play with water, Daddy thought he would enjoy the pool also. But daddy forgot that Max had a very bad experience at the beach the day before and the weather was a little bit chilly also. Max was terrified and Daddy had to take him out of the water while JP and Mommy were having fun swimming.

After a tiring day, let me see if I could suck my thumb and foot at the same time.

After a nice shower. I am all fresh now.

took these two pictures through the passenger side mirror while sitting in the car waiting for JP and Daddy to buy another stroller. But they came back empty handed caus San Diego Target didn't have $10 stroller.

Max was so happy that JP finally let him sit in the stroller for couple minutes so that Daddy and Mommy's arms can also rest a bit.

First time the whole family in the pool and both JP and Max were having so much fun. The picture was taken by a hotel guest and she also asked our permission to take pictures of JP and Max using her camera. I guess she probably never see Asian kids swimming before.

JP, you cannot eat Max's hand!!! Now go eat your own food

Max now loves to suck on his thumbs. His doctor still against us to give him pacifier. what i got from babycenter.com:" In general, thumb-sucking is more irritating to parents than it is harmful to kids. Your baby will stop when he is ready and has developed other ways of soothing himself."

Max was more surprised than us that he can actually say " Da--Ddy".

JP is helping Max do his tummy time.
