taylor's first bday!

jerry (nancy's cousin-in-law) told me the other day that matthew thinks taylor is still clapping. i can't believe my last post was in february. i didn't get to post some of taylor's easter picture, hawks playoff games (yeah we went all three home games with taylor), and CA trip to see jenny & family, destin beach trip.. i posted lots of pictures since then, with the favorite ones on facebook.

time flies.. taylor turned one last week. she refuses to crawl and now is cruising (almost standing without hanging on). we had some pictures taken and took a bunch other from her parties:




here are a few other favorite photos from the last few months:

clap clap hands

yesterday taylor knew to clap when both me and nancy told her in mandarin and in cantonese. the night before we went out to eat we told her to clap in english to the people at the next table, but she didn't know to clap. she's going to be so confused. she knows how to wave "bye bye" and congrats too, so we will try to catch her on video next time.

(does anyone know the pin yin for 'clap clap hands'?)



i have updated our photo album to include some pictures from chinese new year.

la paz

finally got to try la paz tonight. nothing special, nancy got the steak fajitas and i got the "arizona" quesadillas. the food is definitely more gourmet than other tex-mex, but the taste doesn't come close to papasitos. at least we got some northwest airline miles from it.

the restaurant is at the vinings jubilee in vinings village near our house. pretty neat place with small boutiques and stores like banana republic, ann taylor/loft, and other restaurants. we will definitely go back there and walk around.

on the way back home, we drove by the West Village (another new mixed use community on atlanta rd). we were surprised to see the number of restaurants in that community. we'll need to finally try five guys burger one day as they have one there.
