Gymboree Crew 2.0

When little asian baby was born, I decided that I would try and give her every opportunity to get ahead in life from day 1.

So that meant she would be breastfed until 21 (which oddly is currently her favorite number. Whenever some one asks her a question that needs a numerical answer she just says "21") I also made her homemade, organic baby food until she turned 1.5, which is the age in which she decided french fries, pizza and ice cream would be the only things she would eat. I tried to limit the amount of TV she watched, but Mickey and Minnie convinced me that without the Disney Junior Channel and the "Clubhouse" little asian baby would die. And I even tried extra curricular activities such as music class, gymnastics, and various mommy & me classes. 

It's safe to say that little asian baby has had a lot of opportunities to get a "jump start" on life so far in her short 2 yrs. 

(I am starting to realize that this post so far has nothing to do with the title of the post....my bad~)

Anyways, so the reason why I entitled this post "Gymboree Crew 2.0" is that at one of the mommy & me classes 1.5 years ago, I met a group of ladies with whom I am still friends with today. All of our daughters are the same age and since we live (relatively) close we have kept in touch and still have play dates once in a while. 

So here are some photos of the girls from the time we met until now. (which is about 1.5 yrs.)

Summer 2012 

Right before the girls turned 1. 

Little O is the blonde. Baby M is the brunette. Little asian baby is...well...the little asian baby.

Halloween 2012

By this time all the kids knew how to walk so taking a picture of all of them "together" was challenging. 

(I also do not know why little asian baby has no shoes on and is reaching her hands out. 

She might be asking for her shoes..who knows.)

Fall 2012 at the pumpkin patch this time. 

Little asian baby (again) has no shoe on, but at least she's wearing socks this time.

Baby M's 1st birthday party. 

Little asian baby & Little O pose for their future album cover. 

Baby M is busy being a great party hostess and entertaining guests.

Winter 2012. Play date at Little O's house. 

The kids were popping bubbles, which is what little asian baby is doing. Little O is enjoying a beverage.

The girls TODAY!!!! 

2013~

Walking, talking, acknowledging each other and even holding hands! 

(And Little O is still enjoying her beverage!)

Baby M and Little Asian Baby "playing nicely" together. 

(The reason why little asian baby looks annoyed is that Baby M was playing CORRECTLY with the toy, but just not how little asian baby wanted. Luckily, Asia didn't declare war on America and the girls continued to play nicely for the rest of the play date.) 

I can't believe how time has passed by so quickly, and the little bundles of joy we would just plop down here and there for pictures are now full fledged toddlers who we couldn't even TIE down to take pictures if we wanted. 

What a lucky little asian baby she is to still have such good friends!
