More Fun in Houston

Mommy took Claire and I down to Houston again for an extra-long weekend. She was a little bummed to find out that our flight was delayed down there, but my sister and I did a good job keeping ourselves entertained in an empty waiting area.

I'll just hang out here, no problem

A little snack sounds like a great idea!

Hmmm ... did somebody say Shamu?

After doing a fantastic job dozing the entire flight, I woke to find us in Houston with a very excited Po-Po and Gong-Gong there to meet us. We headed down to their place so that we could enjoy the good food and fun pool.

Hey, Gong-Gong!

Splash! Splash!

A little wet

The next morning, we played around in the backyard some (no pool this morning, though) before going up to North Houston to see Nai-Nai and Ye-Ye. I'm going through a phase where I don't want to sit in my carseat long sometimes, and I like to cry to let you know. Well, the crying sort of traumatizes Po-Po, and she would make Gong-Gong stop whenever I cried. Yes, she understood from Mommy that I would eventually stop and that every time we stopped to take me out it would just re-set the clock ... but that's the head and the heart saying two contradictory things! A typical 45-minute drive took about an hour and a half, but at least Gong-Gong got an iced coffee and Claire got a smoothie out of it! At Nai-Nai and Ye-Ye's, I managed to eat lots of good food and take lots of long naps.

Dude, hook a brother up!

Passed out

I'm not sure I remember you, but I like you since you feed me

The next morning, we headed to Chinatown to meet back up with Po-Po and Gong-Gong for lunch while Mommy snuck away to spend some time with her friends. Po-Po was not willing to risk another crying-in-the-car episode, so they hung out at the supermarket until I finally fell asleep in the cart.

I wonder how I'm going to snag those glasses off his face

Soup!

Forgot if it was me or Po-Po they were trying to put to sleep!

On Sunday, Mommy and Claire were gone all day, so I got spoiled by all the rest of the family. The day ended with Po-Po happily putting me to sleep. Now that they've figured out my habits, it was easy-peasy!

Don't be jealous, Jie-Jie. Crystal A-Yi gets to play with me every so often, too!

We got to go swimming again the next morning before going to storytime. Normally Mommy has to deal with both of us at once at storytime, so it was a special treat for all of us to have the extra sets of hands. Then we went to lunch before our playdate in the afternoon with some of Mommy's friends from high school.

Lemme in!

I love this!

What are we screaming at now?

Toys at the library! Fantastic!

I'm so cute, you could eat me up!

Checking out baby Lexi

Just like that, it was time to go home. Mommy found out while we were waiting in line to register me that our flight was canceled, but Gong-Gong offered to come to the gate with us, so we had extra play time.

Wow, we're walking fast!

One last picture before we go

It was a wonderful trip, and I'm becoming quite the pro at the flying thing. I definitely encourage you to check out our special Houston album if you'd like to see more pics from our trip!
