A crying warrior
Tony started walking now. Six steps was the record up to now. With an improved mobility, Tony was more capable of defending his rights. Once, Ray was trying to take Thomas train away from Tony. Tony certainly wouldn't let it go. Here came a memorable moment. Tony, who is barely walkable, held the end of the train. Ray was pulling train head. The poor Thomas train was pushed from one end of the house to the other end of house, then stopped. Tony cried like a warrior all the way but just wouldn't let it go. Well done, boy!

Ray flips good burger.
Ray likes to flip burger and sells it to people. To me, he even can give the burger for free.

A rainy fall in Chengdu
It is quite a trip considering I am only ten month old and Ray is three. We made it anyway.
It rained a lot in Chengdu this fall. This certainly surprised dad as dad's blurry memory fooled himself. What can you expect that he hasn't had a fall in Chengdu for fifteen years?
Dad has never broken any digital camera even he took a lot of shots in the pool. This trip transformed him into a digital camera killer. He lost one in a Taxi before he put his 190 pounds weight on the other. Ray was partially responsible for the second accident as he was the root cause to make dad fall. Digital camera is cheap these days anyway. That is how dad comfort himself. It might be a good time to upgrade digital camera. Point and shot is out of date anyway. Oh, it is Thanksgiving.
What about these pictures we took in forbiddern city? What about the pictures we took in Xingjiang? Cool picture sitting on the back of a camel? Well, at that time, the only thing dad can do is closing his eyes and pretending his heart really hurts.
This picture in King Jian Wang's Tomb is a make-up shot after the camera was lost. What is good about it is that it is next door to Grandma's home. Look at us, it seems that everyone is comfortable except dad. Since then, he was trying his best to stay away from digtal camera. Now he really understood how the actor of 'the worst week' felt.

Grandpa's graveyard
Ray and I attended Grandpa's funeral ceremony. I never got a chance to meet him, though he did see my birth picture before he passed away. Ray had some good time with him. He is luckier than me.

three musketeer
Aaron stayed with us for two weeks as aunt went back to China for grandpa's funeral. My trip had to be delayed for getting my passport and visa. Houston Chinese embassy is still closed as Ike cut off the electricity supply.
An interesting oberservation of dad. When George (a neighbor boy at Aaron's age) is around, Ray is the guy left out by Aaron and tries his best to join in. When Aaron, Ray and Tony are together, Tony is the one blocked out of the built little castle imagined as an enemy, even though Tony is completely capable of crawling in through the little gate(actually it is easier for Tony to get in). When Aaron is not around, two brothers play well as the best buddies. It is always true that the powerful ones get together. They like to deal with each other and know how to deal with each other. Nations are like kids in this way. You rarely see United States and Fiji get into the same news except golf. Political economy explains this purely by economic interests. Is it true that people show ceratin characteristics both as a group and as an individual other than economic interest?
OK, dad will let Tony or Ray figure this out.

Nine month check-up
Weight, 21'8", between 50~75% percentile
Height, 30'10", higher than 95% percentile
Just as Doctor said, I am a tall and lean dude.
By the way, when Ray was ten months old, he weighed like 26~27 pounds with pretty much the same height. Mom and dad couldn't figure out how that much meat could be added on such a little body. Ray just did it! OK, you are big brother.
We are planning going back to China soon. My chinese name finally settled down with more rejections than infant powder milks nowadays. 阳畅历. Many heavy weights at family still thought this name was just satisfactory. Ray's chinese name was frequently quoted as a comparison.
If you asked dad, he could tell you the long way how 阳畅历 came up and got approved finally. It is not much easier than getting a new medicine approved by FDA. Also, don't compare anything between Ray and me. We are just as different as a rooster from a boar.

as nimble as a squarrel
This morning, after sending Ray to school, Mom put Tony in his cribe for his first nap today. As usual, Tony fought a little bit for mom's attention. Mom left him in the room alone and listened him next door.
Tony kept making a little noise, as usual. Suddenly mom heard loud unusual cry. She rushed into Tony's room. Tony was standing up in his cribe. Tony certainly got scared by his first standing-up and didn't know how to handle it, other than crying for help. A few days past nine month mark, this little dude can stand up himself now.
Action item for dad this evening, lower the cribe by at least two levels.
