I take after my uncle Jonathan

When I was in Maine over Labor Day, I amassed a huge collection of acorns, just like my uncle Jonathan used to do when he was little. Uncle Jonathan thought he was a squirrel, putting away food for the winter -- silly!

Here is a photo of me & my daddy in Maine.


Here I am sitting quite properly at the table for my morning breakfast.

Yi-Poh is here!

Yi-Poh was here visiting me. She took me to all kinds of fun places (here we are getting soaked at Millenium Park) and cooked lots of yummy food for me. I loved the wontons she made so much that I clapped my hands after eating them!

My new car

With my new car, I was the coolest kid at the park ... until some 3 year old showed up with a motorized sedan. Show off.

Here I am with my chauffeur...
