2011 Cherry Blossom
Now that the Winter is finally over, it's time to take the babies to enjoy the outside world again. Our first major stop for 2011, the Cherry Blossom at Branch Brook Park in NJ. I don't remember how many times we've been there but it's been quite a few.
Before I continue with the cherry blossom photos. Let me give some updates on the kids.
Cadi, she's learning to say words a lot faster now and is able to imitate sounds a lot better and today (5/10/2011), Cadi learned to say her first English word "apple". The way she tries to pronounce the other English words that I tried teaching her are hilarious. It's too bad that there's no way to capture that in photos. Cadi also started to sing a little. Although it doesn't sound too good as there's no real melody to it but it is still funny seeing and hearing her sing. Cadi doesn't seem to cry any more when strangers trying to hold her but if there are adult strangers around she will refuse to smile.
And Cadi likes to do this nowadays. LOL.
Cody, he has already learned how to roll over about a month or two ago. Started to eat things other than formula. Doesn't crawl yet. Always has this "huh?" look on his face. Still smiles a lot more often than his sister. Starting to recognize people and will start crying when strangers hold him although he seems to be a lot better than how Cadi did when she's at his age. Is getting heavier and taller (obviously and hopefully) at a faster rate than Cadi was (a boy thing I believe).
Now, back to cherry blossom. It rained a week before we went to the park and so we were afraid that the cherry flowers would be gone again just like last year but luckily they stayed on the trees for us this time.
We asked Cadi to smell the flowers but she didn't seem to understand the word "smell".
My attempt at painting using a camera. Looks a bit like oil painting to me.
A very normal photo but I would like to point out how it was taken. Didn't ask anyone to hold the camera nor was there a tripod. I placed the camera on the stroller. So I learned that strollers are useful for more than carrying children. :)
I just like the look of this (abandoned?) pole.
