I'm 9 months old

Question:What do you see when you throw a watch out the window? Answer: Time flies! Yup, Gabriel's growing so fast. He's got 4 teeth already and he's saying a lot more words: Chinese, Thai, English and...Gabrish :) He'd say "Hi, Dad" to every person Mom's talking to on the phone. He loves music and even tries to sing along with Mommy when she plays guitar. I think he's gonna make a good singer when he grows up. Gabriel becomes quite clingy at this stage. He loves going to church on Sundays though and would skip his morning nap, because there are lots of toys there that he can't miss. Besides that, he's the only boy among lots of baby girls! Aren't you lucky, boy! Check the photo gallery to see more pictures :)

Grandma's little boy

Gabriel's wearing the clothes that Grandma bought him quite a while ago. He's growing so quickly and they won't fit him much longer, so we've better take some pictures while they still fit.

Lord, I know...

I know I’m not perfect and that I’ll never be,

I know life isn’t easy and that’s the way it’s meant to be.

Yes, to die is easy and to live is a challenge.

I know I fail you but I’m sure again it will happen.

You are my Lord and I want no one else to be.

I know You love me and I can always count on Thee.

But yet I’m often blind and Lord please help me see.

The world is so cruel, I’m tired please set me free.

I know I’m often scared, You’d say “Don’t be, my child I’m there!”

I know You’ll never leave me, because You love You care!

You have a plan for me, but often I choose to flee,

Yet Lord You’re never angry, You keep protecting me!

Lord I’m sorry, I’m vulnerable, not strong as I wanna be.

Now I pray, down on my bended knees,

"I want to live my life for your sake and for your glory.

Grant me your wisdom your strength, and help me to repent.

Because I know…Lord I want to make you happy

and want you to be proud of me! "

Gabriel's 8 months 'n 10 days

Gabriel's calling "Mom, Mom" a lot these days and I'm real thrilled. He loves clapping his hands. He's also learning to say lots of words like"silly, silly...and (nap)py." Dave and I really enjoy watching him grow!

Rejoice in the Lord always!

I'm having a cold at the moment! Yeah, for those people who know me could possibly imagine Jean going around with red nose, swollen watery eyes and messy hairdo... What makes it worse is that I cannot take any cold medicine! Why? Cuz I'm breastfeeding! Gabriel knows there's something wrong with Mommy and he just wants to be with me and wants to cuddle the whole time while I have to try my best not to kiss him, which is not easy. When I was preparing his solids for him in the kitchen, I sneezed about 3 times, and I turned to him after that. Of course he was looking at me with his eyebrows raising, then he smiled and said "Ha-chu!" to me and started to laugh. That wasn't nice, but I started to laugh too. I turned to him and said, " you shouldn't tease Mommy, you should say God bless you, Mommy!" No wonder why Jesus loves the kids...They can make you SOOOOO happy even in a hard time!
