Juneau is obsessed with Thomas Trains and his train table. He never seems to tire of it.

Easter earthquake
Juneau is barely 20 months and already felt his first earthquake. I was standing in our kitchen with Juneau and wondering why the pots and pans were swaying. I thought... that's really strange, the wind shouldn't be that strong. Then i started to feel woozy and it took me forever (it seems) to realize what was going on. Turns out a 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit Mexicali. I picked up Juneau and ran outside. Michael followed shortly afterwards. Standing in the backyard (is that the best place to be?) we heard the neighbor's pool sloshing all about. Then we peered over and saw how much the water was moving. It was crazy. I don't think I felt my first earthquake until I was 30+. I guess that's the life of a California boy. I do remember my first typhoon though, I was just over 2 in Taiwan....

First Stiches

Juneau had his second trip to the ER last week. The first time was for jaundice. This was much scarier. He was riding on his tricycle around the house. It was right before bedtime and he was quite scared. Next thing I know he is crying, and on the floor. There was quite a lot of blood and he cut the inside of his mouth. I didn't think it was such a big deal at the time, but after I got a look inside, we jetted straight to the emergency room. The cut was so deep, like 3/8". We went to Mission, and waited in their nice pediatric waiting room for about an hour and were seen by a couple nurses and a physician's ass't. He said Juneau needed stitches, then papoosed him, had another guy hold his head, and gave him a massive shot in his lip to numb the pain. Then he put two stitches in. Juneau did pretty well, considering, but he was screaming the whole time, and obviously extremely scared. I barely made it through that part of the ordeal. It was nice that they had a lady there just to calm children down, but it turned out to be pretty useless, since he was so mad. The next day was hard. He wouldn't eat or drink anything, until I guess he got hungry on the way to Sea World. The Graduate Puffs were a miracle worker. I also got him to drink an enire smoothie, and have french fries for dinner. It was all he would eat. Now, it's been a week, and it's like nothing happened. The scrape on the outside of his chin is more or less healed. The stiches, which I thought would have dissolved by now, are still there, but the wound looks like it's healing well. Now we don't let Juneau tricycle into the bathroom if it can be helped.

It's hilarious how much Juneau loves Niko... not sure the Niko enjoys so much attention, but he is very patient with him. Juneau straddles him and jumps on his back, and with only minor grumbles from Niko.
Spring Break in Baja

Spring break was a bit short, well it's a week anyway, and Michael headed to Hong Kong on Thursday, but we managed to squeeze 2-3 days in Baja. We hadn't been in years, so it was nice to make it back to the place we got engaged. With dogs and child in tow, we headed across the border despite all the travel warnings not to travel to Mexico due to gang warfare. It was great. We were there during the week and so we had a private beach to ourselves. Very peaceful.

update
It's been a while since I've written anything. Juneau is starting to look more like a boy every day and less like a baby. He can sign "more" and say bye bye (dada) and uh-oh. He can also say mama, but i'm not sure he knows what that means. His first word which was months ago was mogwai, but he hasn't said that much since. He got a modeling gig last month for Osh Kosh in Santa Barbara, and some $$$ to his college fund. He is really starting to eat more these days and loves grapes, berries, bananas, hot dogs, french fries, white rice and combo. His food loves are right in line with his american/chinese roots.

Juneau's first job
Juneau booked a job modeling for Osh Kosh's catazine. We just saw it come out on the internet, and it's hilarious. He is wearing Captain Awesome and is so blond, that I didn't even recognize him. It wasn't a bad experience. We spent two days in Santa Barbara (first day was hazy) and he ran around in a field with his new friend, Faith, who turns out to be the daughter of an actor named Tommy "Tiny" Lister. The crew was really nice, and Juneau had a ton of fun.
He has since done a couple other things. He was an extra in a diapers.com commercial, and posed for product packaging for Munchkin.com's security gate (extra wide/extra long). We'll wait til August to see if he was picked for that one.

15 mo. checkup
Juneau visited Dr. T today and measured 31" (45%), weighted 20.4 lb (3%), and his head was at 18.5" (43%). Still working on putting some weight on him, but it's hard. I wish I had such problems.

toddler times
Juneau is really walking now. He was still kind of crawling/walking, but now he is toddling about and looks less like a baby and more like a toddler. He started daycare again on Monday and is mostly in the toddler room. He seems to enjoy it a lot more - actually playing with friends, sleeping on a cot, and eating real food. Each day this week, he walks even better - still a bit frankenstein ish... but it's cute.

Walking
Juneau has been pseudo-walking for a while now. Today he seems to be really comfortable with it. He took his first 2-3 steps on his birthday, then on Mike's bday decided to start taking steps on his own, then twenty steps a few days later, and today... he's got it down.

11 months
Juneau is growing up so fast! His most notable development is that his hair continues to get longer (and bigger and lighter) with every day. He is able to stand for a few seconds but hasn't started taking steps yet. He is quite a fast crawler!

Crawling
Juneau is now a pretty competent crawler, and he's tearing up the house. We have to clean the floors often because Niko is shedding. We need to babyproof now!

Juneau is loving his stand-up piano (thanks Tammy). He can stand for long periods of time now, and just started being able to pull himself up to standing.

The doctor gave us the go ahead to start Juneau on solids at six months - he seems to be liking it a bit more every day. Here's a pic from one of the first tries.

6 months
Juneau had his six month appt today. He is doing well and Dr. T says he is a very happy/lively baby. He is 16 lb 1 oz (25th %) and 26" (50%) long, and his head measures 17" (25th%). Well this is a flip flop from last time. We need to work on fattening him up.

Snow
Juneau's first visit to snow... of course it's pretty warm in Palm Springs so it wasn't like my first snow... in Iowa.

4 months
Juneau went to the doctor and got his shots - he is doing well. He's 14 lb and 10 oz, or in the 50th percentile for weight. He is 24.5", which is the 30th percentile for height, and his head is 16.5" in circumference, I think this was in the 40th percentile. Doctor says he's doing great - has really strong legs, really smooth skin, and is super handsome!

3 months and what a joy
Juneau is really changing each day. For one he is getting huge. I can see how he sits higher in his little bumbo chair, 0-3 months clothes are getting smaller and smaller by the day. he can face forward in the baby bjorn and he loves to do stand-ups. In fact it's all he wants to do. Every time i try to read him a book, he's pretty bored. he loves airplane time and standing. Tummy time is sometimes a struggle, but he's getting pretty good at it. He can pretty much hold his own head up now. We try to go running to see the sunset every day. There has been so much progress in the last month, I can hardly wait for month 4!
