Andy, Siwei and Eevee are visiting from Yokosuka, Japan. So we met up for some dim sum in Flushing.
Evelyn, aka Eevee, was born 3 days before Emma even though their due dates were about 2 weeks apart.
Emma just went right to Andy. I think she wants to be close to Eevee.
Babies Swap!
Bo Bo stopped by after work to see Emma.
Mrs. Kwok and his daughter-in-law, Angelica, made empanadas and cachapas. They were very yummy! Look at the "adults" already at it, playing a friendly game of mahjong.
Emma was very clingy probably because she was really tired.
Mrs. Kwok was so happy to see Emma and Kirsten!
Emma, Mia, Kelly and Nicole (from left to right) were enjoying a Kodak moment after dinner.

Emma fell asleep on the walker possibly due our hectic schedule for the past couple of days or just trying to get adjust to the 3 hurs time difference.
Isn't she cute?
Bao Bao and his new haircut.
Mui Mui Kirsten posing with me.
Steve, Lisa and the girls came to NYC after Melodie's dance recital to celebrate Emma's 1st birthday with us.
Another baby, Lisa?
Uncle Steve holding Emma while I try to feed her a piece of her birthday cake but she seems more interested in the ceiling fan.
Chevo came to NYC for a visit right before he was shipped to the Middle East.
It was a really hectic day. We had to go pick up my DD214 (a sheet of paper that says I am honorably discharged from the Navy), get my new reserve/dependent ID cards, get Emma's 12 months old immunizations, and leave for NYC so we could get back in time for Katy's graduation ceremony. So we celebrated her birthday right before we left for the airport.
We had to wake her up fom her nap which explained her "hairdo".

I received my first (and probably my last) Navy Commendation Medal as my end of tour award. Grandma and Emma came to support me. How sweet of them!
Grandma was hoping to get the flags in the background but I guess she trusted the wrong photographer (i.e. me!)
We bumped into Erica and she couldn't believe how big Emma had gotten! By the way, for those of you who don't remember, Erica is one of my friends who has attended the birth of Emma. In fact, Emma didn't want to come back with me. She wanted to stay with Erica...that little girl!
Grandma fell in love with the view. The new wing in Naval Hospital Bremerton faces the Puget Sound. Pretty nice, huh?
We had some good food but nothing compared to the New Sanno Brunch in Tokyo, Japan.
She stayed the night at our townhome so she could come along for the brunch. 
Grandma Long received a framed picture of her and Emma from the little golden piggy and the flowers were from her friend's daughter.
We were invited by Mrs. Tsang (Grandma Long's friend from Vietnam: the one in red) to her daughter's home in Kent (North of Seattle) for some very excellent Vietnamese food.
Look how excited Emma was when she met Mimi (the dog of the daughter).
Emma has successfully crossed the barricade Grandma Long has created to prevent her from climbing the stairs without supervision.
I think she is trying to tell us that she needs a bath or something. 
Maybe she's trying to say something to her daddy... (I know it's hard to believe that Emma is in layers of clothes but please know that Bremerton has been in the lower 40s early May.)
I apologize for taking so long to update Emma's website. My old laptop died on me so I was unable to perform my webmaster duty. But now that Chevo has purchased a new state of the art machinery for me I will no longer have any excuses. Please visit often for the lastest on our little girl. Thank you, Jess.
She was trying to climb up the tote but quickly sat down when she saw me.
Emma the stairs climber.
She seemed to have learned how to do this overnight!
Look at her go!
She climbed the whole way up to the 2nd floor!
Ta-da! Playing with grandma's hamper upstairs.
