First Steps!!!

Joy walked 6 steps unassisted towards me! Daddy and I both gasped aloud at the sight of that. :D This little baby is walking -- she is only turning 10 months tomorrow!

Thumb Sucking

Joy popped her thumb into her mouth while we were at a shop this afternoon. She does that whenever she's sleepy; usually not for long, anyway. She doesn't suck on it constantly like Faith used to; she'd just suck on it on and off. The salesgirl who was trying to be friendly with us took her thumb out gently and said no, no. I wasn't really thinking, but I just matter-of-factly put it straight back into Joy's mouth and said, 'Oh, it's ok, she does it all the time. She's sleepy.' Really...I really didn't mean to embarrass her; but I really meant too, that it's ok for my baby to suck her thumb. ;p Faith outgrew that in her own time anyway. Whatever they say...doesn't bother me.

I Can Clap!

Joy claps her hands for the first time! I think she was asking Papa to carry her! :)

心悦迈步了！

我们的心悦长得好快——快得我措手不及。这九个月来，我所有的时间和精力都在她们身上；根本没时间琇其他事物，更别提blog。今天当爸爸和姐姐都在午睡时，心悦扶着我的手站起来，然吿松手，向我走了三步！我们俩都开心的笑了。
