Ming's First Turkey Day
Saturday, November 18, 2006
My Little Eskimo
Another Saturday morning when Daddy got to spend some fun time with Ming! We, along with Levi and Joe the Dog, headed out this morning for a little fun cruising around town.
We started at McDonald's where Ming scarfed some eggs. She'll basically eat anything and everything. It's amazing, really. Our boys were fairly picky at this age, but not Ming. If you put it in front of her, she'll gobble it up.
After breakfast I let her climb around on the Play Place at our McD's. She didn't wander too far, but she enjoyed the fun.
Levi found a car in the parking lot that he decided he wanted. I told him that we didn't need a golf cart! :-)
After the fun at McDonald's we went over to Aunt Cindy's for a visit. Cindy used a scrunchie to put Ming's hair up in a little Chinese ponytail.
Ming is standing up regularly these days and taking a 4-5 steps. She really hasn't decided that she wants to walk yet. She does her monkey walk on all fours most of the time. She'll stop, stand up, look around, then drop back down on feet and hands (no knees!) to motate around.

The Ming and I - Part 3
Ming was able to experience her first-ever visit to Play Place while at McDonalds.
Later in the morning we tied Joe Dog to the stroller and took a long, enjoyable walk.
Our afternoon was spent hanging out at home. Titus did a great job keeping his eye on Ming as I worked to tidy up the house for Mommy's arrival back home. As the afternoon progressed I honestly think she was getting a little edgy without her Mom. It was one of those special 'mother and child reunions' when pretty mommy arrived home around 5pm after a long drive from Portland in the rain.
Now it's back to playing second fiddle for me...
The Ming and I - Part 2
Lunch (after the nap) consisted of pizza...Hey, I'm a guy! She loved it, by the way.
We hung out at home for the afternoon, just playing and messing up the house. Then for the late afternoon we headed out to one of our favorite haunts - Starbucks.
I have this little made up song that I sing that goes like this..."I am the emperor of China..." I usually sing it when either me or Ming is wearing a goofy hat.
By the time I gave Baby Ming her bath and read her a book, she was good and ready for bedtime after a fun-filled day with Daddio.
The Ming and I
We bagan our Saturday morning with a yummy breakfast at Chaps. If you live in Spokane and haven't been to Chaps, you're missing out. Chaps is across the parking lot from the Latah Bistro next to the old Tidyman's (Chaps Coffee Company4235 S. Cheney-Spokane Rd.Spokane, WA 99224509.624.4182 ). I had an enjoyable bowl of oatmeal while Ming feasted on watermellon rind. While cruising I took this over my shoulder at a stop light. Ming's not sure about my driving.
We made a stop at one of my favorite clothing stores where Ming joined me in the dressing room while I tried on a shirt.
We couldn't resist a saunter through Sportsman's Warehouse - Ming liked the camo gun cases. Notice the rosy cheek and red nose...she's been fighting the sniffles lately.
By the time we headed home for Ming's noon time nap she was tuckered out...she didn't even wait for the crib.
