CRYSTAL AND ISABEL This is a weblog for Crystal Sun Zhao and Isabel Sun Zhao. As parents, we'd like to keep the records for them as much as we can.

Finally, Isabel has her first tooth coming out. She is almost ten months old, already one month later than Crystal. Seeing her first tooth coming out, everyone gets relaxed a little bit. 🙂

There are many pictures in July, since Crystal has made two trips in this month. For Isabel, she can hold on something and stand up now.
Before Grandparents leave, we decide to take a trip together. So we pick up 雁荡山 and 楠溪江.

After that, we take Crystal and Dandan to 东极岛 and 普陀山 for a week. 东极岛 is the eastest small island in China that have people live there. And 普陀山 is one of the most famous Budha island in China. There are over two hundreds temples in one small island.

Grandparents and young aunt come to visit us in Shanghai. This is the first time Grandparents meet Isabel.

After many practice, Isable can crawl back and forth freely by herself. She gradually moves faster and faster. Usually, after she finds something interesting, she would just make up her mind and crawl towards it and try to grab it if possible. We are getting into big trouble now because we have to be much more careful about Isabel’s movement. 🙂

Dad takes another 2 weeks trip to 云南 with PP.

Like Crystal, Isabel has taken her first hair cut around half year old.

Also, Isabel is learning how to move forward. Sometimes, Crystal is helping Isabel to catch her feet.

The whole family is on a vocation to 浙江余杭­ together with Dandan’s family. It’s very hot and crowded since it’s long vocation days for everyone. This is the first time that three kids all going out on a vocation together. And we all have some good time and have taken some really nice pictures.

Isabel is six months old now. She has grown up very fast and very healthy. When I hug her, I can’t help thinking how strong she is. She can roll over and sit stably by herself now. Also, Isabel has very good temper. She likes to smile a lot.

Another good thing is that Crystal gradually starts to play with Isabel. Once, Crystal even asks me “when will sister grow up and play with me?” 🙂

Isabel has really big cheek. Usually, I don’t see any other baby has that big cheek, except Crystal. I bet this is the heritage coming from their mom. It makes her look really big. But, Isabel is not over-weighted.

Crystal treats her younger sister much better now. She really likes to give Isabel some big kisses on the cheek.

About Crystal, she usually asks me a lot of questions. She likes to ask me why. For now, it’s not too bad for me. Whatever answers I give her, she will just take it for granted. 🙂

At the same time, I can feel Crystal is growing up fast. One night, when I was on the way out, she even told me to wear the jacket because it was cold outside. That touches me a little bit.
