Pool Party Mania!!

Our darling Charley, in all of her cuteness, got us invited to an awesome pool party at a beautifully decorated house in the hills this weekend.

As you can see here, she can barely contain her excitement for getting in the water for the first time. (Note: Yes, Paige looks like Wilma Flintstone here and No, this was not a costume party.)
Her highness is starting to warm up to the idea of a little fun in the water.

Considering her drink order from the cabana. "I'll just have a milk."

"No, don't take me out, I love it in here!"

Easter Weekend

Charley had a HUGE weekend this weekend. She got to catch up with lots of family and friends and celebrate Easter in Pasadena, Newport Beach, and Garden Grove.

Here she is with her Dad showing off her beautiful smile.

Here is the whole Seng family. The smallest one with no hair is Charley.

Grandma and Aunt Katie and Charley all having a nice conversation together.

Charley got to meet her Daddy's good friend Steve today. They hit it off right away, and now Charley wants to meet his beautiful wife, Olivia.
Here is what happened when we asked Daddy's friend Steve to take the family portrait.

Charley Speaks!!!!

As you can see, Charley broke her silence and started talking to us. She talks a lot now, and even though she speaks no discernible language, it was obvious to us that she had a list of demands.

"More polka dots! I want them everywhere, Mom! Get on it!"

She definitely wanted more face time with Mama.

She kisses back, but mostly open-mouthed.She demanded that Daddy buy himself a new surfboard. He kindly obliged.

So, Charley is getting to be more fun all of the time. She talks and smiles and gets cuter every minute. We will keep all of her fans posted!

Sorry for the Delay!

Since we last updated you on our little Charley, she has had some great adventures growing up. Sorry to all for the delay in posting. We are trying to post, but we keep falling asleep in the evenings. (Caring for this girl is exhausting.) Anyway, here she is!

In the last few weeks, Charley has picked up on some of Mom and Dad's favorite pastimes.

This was the face she made when she found out about the Zoo membership.
She got to attend some really fun parties. Here she is all dressed up to party.

She just loves those socks. Won't take them off.
Finally, here's Kelly. She insisted that she get some practice in before holding Charley, and although Koa was not our first pick, Kelly thought it would really prepare her for the worst.

Charley's First Zoo Trip

The marsupials have a really good thing going, I found out that day.

Devi the Asian Elephant. (Notice the small ears.)

Charley reminded us of a lot of the animals at the zoo that day-the nursing chimpanzee, the baby meerkats, but mostly the koalas. It was obvious that she fell in love with the zoo that day, and that is why Mom and Dad decided to buy a one-year membership. We are both really excited about future trips to the zoo when Charlotte opens her eyes for a little part of the day.

Charley's First Snowboarding Trip!

We had about a foot of snow the first night.
Here is our little polar bear.

Mama Bear, Papa Bear and Baby Bear

Last weekend, we took Charley up to Truckee for her first weekend in the snow. We all got to enjoy the snow and stay warm in the cabin.

Meeting my grandparents for the first time

Meeting Paul's Grandparents on their 59th Anniversary, January 28th

So, it's been two weeks since I posted (sorry to all of our loyal followers) and we have had some really fun adventures. Here are some pics of Charley meeting her family members. It's been so much fun to watch our parents became grandparents since Charley is the first grandchild on both sides. And it's been even more amazing to watch our grandparents become great grandparents. I think it's really an incredible experience for them as well to meet another generation of their family. More to come soon! XXOO
