Immodest

"Cutesyville here I come!"

One thing these sisters are not is modest.

C-bao and her sister K-bao don their gowns for their flower girl roles at the upcoming nuptials of Xiao Goo Goo (Aunt Catherine) and Wen Zhen Shu Shu.

Before we knew it, phrases such as "I look so beautiful!" began to tumble out.

Even the C-folks had to admit, however, that there was some truth to that statement.

Happy Hollow

C-bao took her first trip to Happy Hollow today (with the lovely Wangs - Tony, Mel and Lucas), where she thoroughly enjoyed herself riding the buggies, feeding the goats and running around getting dirty. (A couple of sister K-bao's visits were documented here and here.)

First, she started the day greeting the bronze animals at the park entrance with her characteristic Up Close & Personal approach.

Next she took her first ride of the day on the ladybugs, accompanied by sister K-bao. Lots of smiles all around. No sweat.

Unfortunately, this experience instilled a bit of misplaced swagger in Little C-bao. She insisted on riding again immediately afterward, even though sister K-bao had run off to do something else. This turned out to be an error in judgment. Once the bug achieved liftoff, little C realized she was all alone in the world, flying at an altitude that felt altogether unsafe. The rest of the ride was spent with her face buried in her hands yelling 不要! ("No want!") at the top of her lungs. (Unfortunately C-Pop did not capture this rare footage on camera, but the below forlorn-looking image was when the wheels first started turning)

Luckily there was more to see and do at Happy Hollow, and C-bao soon forgot about these unpleasantries by feeding the goats.

All in all, a fantastic trip which wore out Little C so much that she promptly dozed off the second she was put on her stroller, even before saying goodbye to her friends.

Tummy

C-bao is doing quite well with her tummy time these days, with neck strength sufficient for a minute or more of high visibility of her surroundings (before the inevitable face plant into the sheets).

This has led to a bit of overconfidence when being held. She will now whip her head back and forth to make sure she's not missing out on the fun activities occurring on the other side of the room, with general shakiness and head bobbing in between leading to minor episodes of whiplash.
