Everyone gathered at our place for lunch after which we headed out for some shopping...

We spent the day at Gu Gu's place...
In the evening, we had dinner with everyone else who came...
Johann sure had a great day...
Exploring and crawling around the house the whole day...

Activities of the day...

The orange experiment...

Johann was so fascinated by the oranges...

The oranges went through a rigorous test...

The touch test...

The poke test...

The taste test...

The throw test...

Johann especially loves the smell...

The coaster slide fun...

Johann found a coaster on the coffee table...

It instantly became his newest toy...

Holding it, folding it, tasting it...

And his most favourite...

Sliding it on the floor...

Bringing out the explorer in Johann

A new place... is a new place...

With so many things unknown...

What more do I need to say?

One moment he is here... the next moment he is there!

Keeping everyone busy!

Today, Johann was able to spend some time with both Gu Gu and Gu Zhang...

He sure kept them busy... haha



Taking photos...

Playing with Daddy...

Dinner time!

Reunion Dinner...

We went over to Gu Gu's place to have reunion dinner in the evening today...
Daddy brought along Johann's high chair so that the little fella could join us at the dinner table...

Here's Johann in the car...

Very soon Daddy will have to get Johann a new car seat...

At the rate he's growing, he's going to outgrow this one real soon...

Very fascinated by his shoes...

Daddy calls them Johann's dancing shoes... hehe



The chubby cheeks that everyone wants to pinch...

haha

Here's the steamboat dinner that the adults enjoyed...

Here was what Johann was doing during the dinner...

Entertaining himself with his teether...

Chewing on his Tigger book...
He was making a lot of noise... Making sure everyone knew he was having a good time...

From this photo, Johann sure made Tigger's tail look yummy... hehe
